I thought he did an amazing job. An even better job than Jack, surprisingly. He seems like such a great and smart person. Angelina couldn't have casted anyone better than Miyavi!
I know right. as much as I love Jack's role, Miyavi stole the show for me because he was so intense and aggressive yet you also feel sympathy for him as well it was like you question his motives at every scene. Will he be nice, will he beat up on Louie, where he at...I had all these mixed emotions when I first saw this film. overall this was indeed a great film.
I've been watching a lot of Miyavi interviews for his role in Unbroken and I just have to applaud how expressive his answers are and how he delivers them with such confidence and belief. So much love!
why do you guys piss your pants because miyavi is not 'fully' japanese? he is half japanese half korean BUT WHY DOES THAT EVEN MATTER?! jack oconnell isnt american but he plays an american ... so what? just enjoy the movie or dont watch it if you dont want to.
It's also rather annoying people mind Miyavi for being half Korean, especially considering the discrimination going in Japan towards Koreans and Chinese people...
He was very believable as 'the bird', when he came on screen your heart rate heightened, this is what we want to feel from a villian, well done Takamasa your performance will be remembered
I am full Korean, followed Miyavi's music for years. But, those that believe that he is only Japanese need to learn who he is. He even gave an interview and even spoke in Korean to the Korean fans about how he is half Korean and half Japanese. He is like most Zainichi's that state they are Korean but was raised with Japanese traditions. Don't matter either way, he doesn't care about nationalistic pride like most of you people who aren't even Korean nor Japanese that try to fight on his behalf. I will listen to what he said and how he expressed that being both has its benefits. He is a true human being, gtfo with your cosplay passions and decide to dictate any of our traditions and beliefs based on your opinions about bloodlines.
Is this true? Like, based in almost all articles about him says that his father is half korean and half japanese and his mother 's japanese... (I dunno If that 's true, by the way)
@@ayrtonvicente6396 he was a professional soccer player for a korean team before being a musician. He is one of the few idols that actually deserves respect
he’s more of a 1/4 korean though. it’s his father that is half-half. his mum is japanese and his father is half japanese and half korean, i’m pretty sure that won’t make him half korean?
This is the most American comment I’ve ever read. And your channel is very culturally American as well. I don’t believe you’ve even been to Korea or Japan.
I'm glad I saw this interview, after watching the film I was so distressed by this character, this is a great interview because Miyavi gives such a good explanation. It's a great movie with great actors and beautifully directed by Angelina Jolie, very intense and I'm also glad to have known Louie's story.
***** he does have korean blood. His grandfather/mother were born in Korea and his father has full korean blood miyavi-lovers.forumotion.com/t48-miyavi-talks-about-his-heritage
yz637 so what!im half USA/half Mexican by blood and very proud of it!! Though only U.S. citizen by nationality I never deny who I truly am. Shame describes those who deny who they truly are!!!!!
I'm glad he took this role. Us OG fans know him to be very friendly, and looking to bridge the gaps between nations and peoples. War isn't waged by citizens, it's waged by governments dropping propaganda on the unwitting masses.
He really did do a phenomenal job with his contribution to that role for this masterpiece of a film especially for this like Jennifer Hudson with 'Dreamgirls' only being his debut, I HATED HIS GUTS!!!!
Impressive acting start of a talented guy. That's for sure. I wish I was speaking English like him after... 9 years of living in English speaking country.
When you are born in Japan you are, by definition, japanese. Facts are not arguable like opinions. Whether his parents were half japanese or half not he was naturalized into Japan by birth.
The guy did a great job in the movie Unbroken, ideal for the part (reminded me of Ryuichi Sakamoto in Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. also set in a WW2 Jap POW camp) but watching this video he has an unsettling, almost unnerving female beauty in his face. Superb English.
In my opinion, Miyavi has a kind of typical Japanese face like Kame and the feeling that makes me pretty sured he is the Japanese but not any other Asian country. Actually it was really surprise me that he is the half. In short,Miyavi is Japanese and has deep connection with America &Korea. I think that is the best conclusion.
Miyavi should be proud of his role (of course not what it portrays) because he helped expose the injustice and atrocities of the Imperialists who once ruled his country. The Japanese themselves in no way don't endorse any form of abuse. Miyavi should be proud of being a Japanese.
Cmon, shut up you crazy kpop fans! Jpop and jrock was on boom before korean pop culture spread around (copying at first japanese pop) and Miyavi was the goddes of jrock. And he is a very good singer and guitarist. Back then he was super popular with his crazy japanese looks and tatoos. You know nothing about him and trying to relate him to koreans even though he has nothing to do with korea being born and raised in japan and being super popular japanese rocker. Now, tell me at least one well known korean rocker as talented as Miyavi?
Wow you sound so bitter and you don't know anything. Miyavi has acknowledged that he is half Korean and his father's surname is Lee. Check his instagram account he even writes his name as Miyavi Lee Ishihara. He's proud of his Korean heritage and his Japanese heritage. Also, it's totally incorrect to suggest that Korean popular music copied Japanese popular music. It had a much bigger influence from American pop in the 90s than Japanese music. Sorry to burst your bubble but Japan is obsessed with Korean music and they're the biggest consumers of it in the world now. Korea tends to prefer hip hop, pop, and indie music rather than rock but they've produced far more famous globally known artists than Miyavi so get your facts straight.
In my opinion he's got that typecally japanese face, I've seen many korean and japanese men and to me he looks japanese, but either way he is Asian x')
A lot of Koreans born and raised in Japan are not loyal to the nation and people of Japan. That "IS" a big problem. I do not know about Miyavi case. However, Koreans show too complicated attitudes towards to Japan and Japanese. So Miyavi can be same even though he acts like an inocent Japanese.
how can a korean be japanese? they are two places and he is one person. where he was born is what determines naturalization. Like it or not he's a natural-born japanese. Deny it
stop bickering ppl about who's Korean or Japanese! I wanna see the real movie. In America we love to watch movies. stop all your nonsense let's watch the movie or someone please upload this movie....the American way!!!!!
The true Japanese does not appear for an anti-Japan propaganda movie of Hollywood. I do not admit that he is a Japanese. He is only a Korean having Japanese nationality.
Are you suggesting he sit on my face? I didn't judge him, I merely noticed a resemblance to Sigourney Weaver. And as for Unbroken, I thought it was awful.
I like the way he talks... He has so much charm...
I'm agree with you cat
I thought he did an amazing job. An even better job than Jack, surprisingly.
He seems like such a great and smart person. Angelina couldn't have casted anyone better than Miyavi!
But then when you see him in Jrock you'd think he's on drugs 😂😂
I know right. as much as I love Jack's role, Miyavi stole the show for me because he was so intense and aggressive yet you also feel sympathy for him as well it was like you question his motives at every scene. Will he be nice, will he beat up on Louie, where he at...I had all these mixed emotions when I first saw this film. overall this was indeed a great film.
Jack hardly spoke that’s why he did better.
I've been watching a lot of Miyavi interviews for his role in Unbroken and I just have to applaud how expressive his answers are and how he delivers them with such confidence and belief. So much love!

It's also rather annoying people mind Miyavi for being half Korean, especially considering the discrimination going in Japan towards Koreans and Chinese people...
It doesnt matter if he is japanese, korean or whatever.. he is an actor and did a wonderful job as such in the movie...
He was very believable as 'the bird', when he came on screen your heart rate heightened, this is what we want to feel from a villian, well done Takamasa your performance will be remembered

He looks more Korean than Japanese. He is an incredibly talented up and coming actor..🌹
he’s more of a 1/4 korean though.
it’s his father that is half-half. his mum is japanese and his father is half japanese and half korean, i’m pretty sure that won’t make him half korean?

Congratulations on your participation in Unbroken. I love your acting it was great! Your new fan from AZ.
His really good looking
He gave such a special, memorable, incredible performance - amazing actor!
I'm glad I saw this interview, after watching the film I was so distressed by this character, this is a great interview because Miyavi gives such a good explanation. It's a great movie with great actors and beautifully directed by Angelina Jolie, very intense and I'm also glad to have known Louie's story.
The most exotic man.. He really is an intuitive actor.. I am not a fan of his music, but I hope to see him in more movies.. 🙏🏼
HE IS JAPANESE!! He's half Japanese half Korean by blood but was born and raised in Japan
That makes him half anyway
TheMsleading not his nationality though
***** sorry I had no idea you knew him so thoroughly. I support him for his movie all the same!
***** he does have korean blood. His grandfather/mother were born in Korea and his father has full korean blood

And he's 33 years old. Can u believe it? He looks like a teenage boy ;) Miyavi, men, you're incredible! :)
Miyavi!!! Keep it on with the great work. Can't wait for new music too.
Are we not going to discuss how fluent (and qt) his English is omg
You think his English is cute?
I've been aware of Miyavi for a long time, but never really listened to his music. I didn't know that he's so smart and articulate.
I'm glad he took this role. Us OG fans know him to be very friendly, and looking to bridge the gaps between nations and peoples. War isn't waged by citizens, it's waged by governments dropping propaganda on the unwitting masses.
I love him so much quq
He did a fantastic job in the movie, too
I STILL CANT BELIEVE THIS!!!! like his music and his style is so different from his current image. but good job in the movie
He really did do a phenomenal job with his contribution to that role for this masterpiece of a film especially for this like Jennifer Hudson with 'Dreamgirls' only being his debut, I HATED HIS GUTS!!!!
Impressive acting start of a talented guy. That's for sure. I wish I was speaking English like him after... 9 years of living in English speaking country.
He is beautiful
Lovely actor/interview! Can't wait to see more from him...#takamasaishihara #unbrokenmovie
Weather he's half Japanese and half Korean or not can we all agree he's hot as fuck like damn
When you are born in Japan you are, by definition, japanese. Facts are not arguable like opinions. Whether his parents were half japanese or half not he was naturalized into Japan by birth.

Standing ovation to this comment!

Actually it was really surprise me that he is the half. In short,Miyavi is Japanese and has deep connection with America &Korea. I think that is the best conclusion.
He was the only good thing in Unbroken.
He is such a DILF.
miyavi♥♥!!! cant wait to see the movie
My childhood thanks to him
Miyavi should be proud of his role (of course not what it portrays) because he helped expose the injustice and atrocities of the Imperialists who once ruled his country. The Japanese themselves in no way don't endorse any form of abuse. Miyavi should be proud of being a Japanese.
he is so amazing
Much love, Miyavi!
he reminds me so much of Rinko Kikuchi
Heee is sooooooooo handsommmmmm. 😘😘😘😘
I wish there were more young Japanese actors & actresses to speak English like him.
Cmon, shut up you crazy kpop fans! Jpop and jrock was on boom before korean pop culture spread around (copying at first japanese pop) and Miyavi was the goddes of jrock. And he is a very good singer and guitarist. Back then he was super popular with his crazy japanese looks and tatoos.

James W Lol James... u need to read more about Japanese Music. U got me laughing my ass off here...
He is half japanese and half Korean but his face looks more for korean!
He looks straight up Korean, I immediately thought so when I saw him in unbroken without even knowing, he doesn't really look Japanese more Korean.
In my opinion he's got that typecally japanese face, I've seen many korean and japanese men and to me he looks japanese, but either way he is Asian x')
Keulleo Kpoper
I agree, I think he looks more Japanese.
Hoooooooo Miyavi *--*
I read somewhere that some of his countrymen were calling him a traitor. I hope that isn't true as it is undeserved
HE WAS BORN IN JAPAN, THEN, HE IS JAPANESE. e-e
A lot of Koreans born and raised in Japan are not loyal to the nation and people of Japan. That "IS" a big problem. I do not know about Miyavi case.
However, Koreans show too complicated attitudes towards to Japan and Japanese.
So Miyavi can be same even though he acts like an inocent Japanese.
how can a korean be japanese? they are two places and he is one person. where he was born is what determines naturalization. Like it or not he's a natural-born japanese. Deny it
O-o...I dont blame them for still having a grudge on japan. The Japanese did horrible things to that country.
You were awesome in that movie. So awesome I hated you uh.
when i first saw him in unbroken i thought he was a woman
stop bickering ppl about who's Korean or Japanese! I wanna see the real movie. In America we love to watch movies. stop all your nonsense let's watch the movie or someone please upload this movie....the American way!!!!!
this guy is a KOREAN. not japanese.
The true Japanese does not appear for an anti-Japan propaganda movie of Hollywood. I do not admit that he is a Japanese. He is only a Korean having Japanese nationality.
This guy is so effeminate... the whole movie he looked like a male version of Sigourney Weaver. Unbroken is one horrible movie.
Are you suggesting he sit on my face? I didn't judge him, I merely noticed a resemblance to Sigourney Weaver. And as for Unbroken, I thought it was awful.
Oooooh the homoerotic overtones are making my anus tingly!
Despite that, hes really charismatic though. In a low-key kind of way. The way he speaks seems genuine and thoughtful. Cool guy.
You sound like an incel, he gets more pussy than you do lol.
I've been aware of Miyavi for a long time, but never really listened to his music. I didn't know that he's so smart and articulate.
