Eternally jealous you got to see them live. They're amazing!!!

[@missykitty]

I'm so thankful I was able to attend! They were incredible~!!!

[@djmidori]

@@missykitty out of all of them, I was only able to catch luna sea and L'arc en ciel live.

[@missykitty]

@@djmidori Ahh you're lucky to have seen Luna Sea, that's the only band I'm missing! I saw L'Arc, VAMPS, X Japan multiple times, and I've seen Miyavi multiple times too.

When 2 guitar gods come together. 💥💥💥

[@missykitty]

It was a battle for the ages - and the real winner was us, the audience!

[@GoddessOfWhim2003]

no ego either, just showmanship

[@tonithezombie]

Awesome!!! This was one of my favorite parts from the show tonight 😍😍

[@missykitty]

I AGREE! This was soooo epic!!!

[@tamanegi12345]

That 53 year old man really woke up one morning and said “I’m going to wear some hot pants and thigh high boots today” and he looks great

[@missykitty]

THIS!!!!! YES LOL!!!!!

[@Topview1m]

Shut up!😂😂😂😂

[@stalledparade]

It’s a vastly different interpretation of America’s ‘80s glam rock scene than one would think, huh? 😂 Чертовски жаль, что Хидэ из «X Japan» умер

[@lillily3313]

It's his uniform since his age 20 )) Sugizo always was walking porn))))

[@abnereliortega3005]

​. Y quien gano Al Fin 😋 yo me quedo Sugizo

[@euterpe.Mousai]

✨🎸💓✨ An Absolute highlight! Seeing these two together again... and into the future - these battles have the potential to get really crazy - can't wait to see what they do with this, how they evolve this, over time ✨

[@stevongibbons812]

Awesome!!! Those guitar people did an excellent job performing.

[@heyy13]

This is fire. They're both so amazing! What insane guitarists. Also still so hot. Unfair.

[@chevas1youtubization]

Damn!! This is f***ing AWESOME!!!

[@ameliamariakelly]

BRAVO!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰

[@andieallison6792]

I first knew of Miyavi from when he played "The Bird" in Unbroken but WOWWOWOW. He's crazy talented and passionate, the dude is just covered in tattoos, and physically he is one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen (besides HYDE). AND HE LOVES HIS KIDS SO MUCH IT'S SO FUCKING CUTE. 🥺🥺 Someone call UPS because Miyavi is the entire fucking package.

この三人に答えるミヤビは凄い!あなたが次の後継者、お願いします！

[@GoddessOfWhim2003]

that was damn epic, there aren't many guitarists today that could hang with THAT and these guys are in their 50s. God bless Japan

[@realdocloco]

Miyavi is in his early 40s 😉

[@GoddessOfWhim2003]

@Doc Loco yep, he's the baby of the bunch, Hyde and Sugizo are mid 50s and Yoshiki is close to 60

[@piwo647]

Frankly Sugizo is quite old school and not the best improviser to drive a crowd. Miyavi has his energy and playstyle that is probably more modern and more suitable for such a moment with an audience. His showmanship qualities are more evident. While technically Sugizo is very sound, he is actually messy there and not super inspired, just repeated shredding that is not super interesting. He doesn't have a sound that is recognisable. So I would say in metal many (if not most) guitarists would have no problem hanging with them. Sugizo and Miyavi never were technical monsters but they explored a sound at one point in their career and capitalised on it. Much like Hammet capitalised on the wah... I would say Miyavi is still relevant today although it's the same thing we heard 15 years ago from him.

내가 미야비를 처음 알고 좋아하기 시작한 게 18년 전인데... 기분 되게 이상하다. 아직도 기타치고 무대 설 때 저렇게 행복해 하는 모습이 너무 뭉클하고 감동적이고 그러네 ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[@OGDweeb]

I love Sugizo, but he's old school and Miyavi brings something new. You really can't compare them.

[@victoriar.2026]

i love these two, but the start was crap :( knowing them for many years this intro was not good at all :(

[@sweetdreams69-dq1oh]

Sugizoは魅力あるけど、もう1人の方は何かイキった中二病という感じで痛いな
