Some of you might remember that a few weeks ago MIYAVI started a small twitter-project titled "#UnderTheSameSky". He asked fans to send him tweets including pictures of the sky in their countries and the project was such a huge success that it lead to another idea: He wants to use pictures like that for his new music video!
This is the official announcement posted on Miyavi's website:
“Under The Same Sky” project
Photos to be used in MIYAVI’s next music video wanted!
Dear fans,
MIYAVI was discussing with the director of the next music video the other day and came up with the idea of featuring photos taken by his fans (that means you!). This was derived from his twitter experience #UnderTheSameSky, when he posted a picture of the sky in L.A. and his fans followed him, posting the pictures from all over the world.
So now, we are making an official request, to post your photos for MIYAVI’s new music video.
We do not know exactly at the moment how the photos will be featured in the video, but we are aiming to depict the bond between the fans and MIYAVI, and eventually the ties between all human beings.
We cannot tell you which song, but the hint is that it will be a music video for his up coming album “MIYAVI”. So use the below sample photos as a reference and send us YOUR photos!!
We do not want to spoil any of your photos, so please read the instructions and terms/conditions carefully, and send them to us!!
We hope we can share a peaceful experience through this project.
Thank you.
MIYAVI staff. 16th, February 2014
