Her efforts and talents are appreciated by fans around the world. If i owned that guitar store and she came in i would say any guitar you want it's yours Merry Christmas dear. I'm a LOVEBITES forever fan man. Take care everyone.
I saw the SF Lovebites show about 24 hrs after Miyako’s window shopping excursion. I wish I had know she was going to be there. In the 1980’s Japanese visitors were busy snatching up bargains in the U.S. Now, U.S. prices are awfully high if you are buying with Yen. I bought my first guitar at Guitar Center in San Francisco, around 1980. It was in a different location on that street (Van Ness Ave). I still have it.
She is like a kid in a candy store 🤣 Wish there were subtitles! They need to play a show in Waukesha, Wisconsin the birthplace of Les Paul 🎸🙏🙏🙏🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 Thank you very much for posting this! 🙏
So cool to see her off stage, those folks had no idea one of the best musicians ever was in their store. I need to learn some Japanese, I wish I could understand the conversation. Thanks for posting this. 🐺👍
I seriously doubt they had any clue, one of the world’s greatest guitarists was in their presence. I will say thank you Miyako for your talent and behind the scenes videos.
So funny how that Guitar Center employee shut the door to the sound room, not realizing he’s in the presence of a guitar goddess. He could have packed the store with her awesome impromptu performance.
Especially so in my opinion. I saw them all in London wearing their normal cloths, and I was stunned by how beautiful they all are, and BTW, I'm old enough to be their Dad, or even Granddad, not a love struck teen 😄
She was liking the high gain on that setup. But know that you can still get a mix between your muddy Marshall and your high gain evh or Mesa boogie if you just decided to use a blackstar amp.
Store employee : " some pretty lady wants to mess around with a guitar on camera, probably for her tiktok. " a few minutes later "What the heck is going on ??? "
😂.. yes it was irritating on video, i feel for her being subject to that in person, but she probably thought, as long as he's practicing, its all good@@TheCyberMantis
Clerk walked in at 0:05. But upon seeing Miyako, he knew he could trust her with that $8999 guitar ! By contrast, I've never played any vintage guitar or bass at Guitar Center.😂
They must have just had dinner in Japantown and walked over to Guitar Center…. Wish I was there to show you around! She hung back a bit more time with that Michael Schenker’s V! Hope Lovebites will be back to SoCal the next round of US dates…. House of Blues Anaheim/Disneyland or The Observatory or The Wayfarer would be awesome! She’s too polite…. hung back to say “bye” to the sales guy and he does not know he talked to Lovebites’ Miyako! He’ll see this tomorrow and say “damn!” みんな大好き、Lovebites (ラブバイト)

(M)Tomorrow, I will make my best in SF concert!! Bye....
My great pleasure to share this joy of getting her view points in this shop! She is naturally very funny, different from how she looks in her playing in concerts. Hope some wrong spelling and non native expression do not hinder your understanding.
Thank you for sharing this. If the guy who was playing who she walked by, knew who Miyako was and knew how awful he played, he would have walked out of the store in shame. PLEASE come back to the USA again! I loved the Dallas show!
did she also stop by the Guitar Center in Hollywood? this is so much fun, would love to know what they're saying, but the "play" is the thing, to paraphrase William Shakespeare
I have personal experience with G.A.S. (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome). It pulls at you. Miyako exhibits all the symptoms., so may God have mercy on her soul
They actually went to watch some baseball because Shohei Ohtani was playing (apart from being the best player alive he is also a chick magnet superconductive one I'd say)
I'd play a Lovebites live performance video to the store staff, so they know who she is. They probably think she's some random Asian woman who doesn't even know how to play. 🤦
My favorite wolf and you're blonde hulk partner in crime. Should have picked up an Ibanez Jiva 10 my personal experience they're awesome guitars I own five of them. Nita Strauss made quite a bit of money off of me with those transactions. As they are about $1600 us
Fun to see her enjoying a little free-time in-between shows! ☺
A music nerd . Has a time off spends it in a music shop! Love Miyako’s style
Fantastic!! Beautiful Miyako is a perfectionist. 🐺🏴🤘

I would like it a lot better if this video had English subtitles. Miyako is an amazing musician, songwriter, and composer. I love Lovebites.
Baddest, cutest , hell of a japanese guitar player..lovebites kicks ass
She is like a kid in a candy store 🤣
Wish there were subtitles!
They need to play a show in Waukesha, Wisconsin the birthplace of Les Paul 🎸🙏🙏🙏🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Thank you very much for posting this! 🙏
Thanks so much for uploading this.
Miyako you and Lovebites are welcome to come up to Rockford IL USA where Rick Nielson of Cheap Trick has about 400-500 guitars.
Thank you for the Awesome show @ the Echo Lounge ,Dallas 9/08/24...Keep Rocking Queens. LOVEBITES...4eva❤❤❤❤❤
Miyako looks so cool.❤
would love to hear her play through a Randell head!!! amazing musician miyako is!!tks from toronto!!!lovebites!!
An entire guitar shop..and Miyako. Heaven exists!❤❤❤❤❤

Asami and Haruna can't pass an ice cream shop! Miyako can't pass a guitar store! ☺

Welcome to America Myako !! 😊❤
Cool🎸😎 Thanks 👍
I wonder if the staff at Guitar Center realized they had an amazing celebrity playing in their store.
Akin to her jamming in a club in France.
Seriously! Right?!
Hah! Typical Guitar Center. A bunch of numbnuts wandering around doing nothing. They had no idea a virtuoso like Miyako was in their midst.
I seriously doubt they had any clue, one of the world’s greatest guitarists was in their presence. I will say thank you Miyako for your talent and behind the scenes videos.
Their job is to not give a rat’s ass about the players unless they pull out their wallets; then they become a celebrity.
Awesome 👌
So funny how that Guitar Center employee shut the door to the sound room, not realizing he’s in the presence of a guitar goddess. He could have packed the store with her awesome impromptu performance.
Great video. Thanks for the X repost.
Miyako is fine tuned to ❤
Funny thing is I went to Tokyo recently and spent the whole time guitar shopping. lol
Oh how I was hoping she’d ask the lad if she could try a few bars of the guitar he was playing. It would have been video gold to see his face 😮
Miyako è fantastica 🤘🌹
You are so amazing Miyako. Have a greet day Queen 🙂😊
She must have blown their minds... first shredding the guitar, then walk to the piano. Showing why she has earnt herself the name "The Golden Touch"!
Even in her everyday street clothes her stunning beauty shine through..
Especially so in my opinion. I saw them all in London wearing their normal cloths, and I was stunned by how beautiful they all are, and BTW, I'm old enough to be their Dad, or even Granddad, not a love struck teen 😄

Metal Goddess!
Cool that the people around her don't know she's a great guitarist.....She just and everyday people walking around the shop....
the backgrd noise at 13:47 lol classic guitar cntr ! lol
That is one very talented and beautiful young woman ❤🤘
Miyako’s time off: Playing guitar and keyboard! 🎸🎹🤘
😄 The lad at 14:30 probably thinking he's Eddie Van Halen, not knowing who is standing behind him 🎸😄
He was literally just tapping random notes. Poor Miyako-san's ears must have been hurting. 😒
@@TheCyberMantis 🤣 Yea, I was thinking the same !
😂.. yes it was irritating on video, i feel for her being subject to that in person, but she probably thought, as long as he's practicing, its all good@@TheCyberMantis
@@L.A55 True, but why practice at Guitar Center? That is what your bedroom is for. 😉

Miyako adding to her arsenal!

Is it just me, or does Gibson Les Paul Standard 1959 Reissue look really good on Miyako? Gibson reps are you watching?
They must have just had dinner in Japantown and walked over to Guitar Center…. Wish I was there to show you around!
She hung back a bit more time with that Michael Schenker’s V! Hope Lovebites will be back to SoCal the next round of US dates…. House of Blues Anaheim/Disneyland or The Observatory or The Wayfarer would be awesome!
She’s too polite…. hung back to say “bye” to the sales guy and he does not know he talked to Lovebites’ Miyako! He’ll see this tomorrow and say “damn!”

They went to a Dodgers game on their day off.
And now I want to buy that Les paul.
7k? does it come with a jet engine? I'm so fortunate to have bought guitars back in the day when it was reasonable. I feel for the ones today
Is anyone in a position to translate what is being said? It would have been so nice with subtitles.

Original clip Miyako X x.com/lovebites_jp/status/1834064883379569082
I wonder if they knew who she is.
...as a joke she should have just started out with "The Forbidden Riff" lol
Just in case she doesn't have enough guitars!"😂
I got to talk to for all of 3 seconds. Hey, I’ll be happy with that. I had a good day.
YOU ARE ALWAYS ARE SO COOL TO WATCH ...I LOVE YOU MIYAKU❤
Right on 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Miyako is an incredible multi instrumental musician. But... she was tying out only 1 Guitar and 1 keyboard lol
Music Store Staff " Hello, do you play any instruments and would you like to try any ?" . Miyako " yes I play all of them "
😅😁😊🔥
Yes, I can play a little on the guitar and piano
😁💖🏆
You're AMAZING! Get the *Brian May* guitar!!!!!
What's Miyako doing in the Bay area?
LOVEBITES had a few concerts in the US, with the last two being in Los Angeles (9/10) and San Francisco (9/12).
I have personal experience with G.A.S. (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome). It pulls at you. Miyako exhibits all the symptoms., so may God have mercy on her soul
I wish I knew what she was saying ☺.
レスポール100万円か。買って上げたいけど通帳見たら無理だった。
すまん。
Some people in there could have used her desperately for guitar lessons.😅
They actually went to watch some baseball because Shohei Ohtani was playing (apart from being the best player alive he is also a chick magnet superconductive one I'd say)
In L.A. they got Ohtani jerseys.
And he's already married.
Guitar Center has THEIR prices, and then there are REAL world prices. Always HAGGLE at GC. They will rob you blind if you make it easy on them.😉
Try a PRS
She just got a PRS Custom 24 right before the tour started.
Miyako just added a couple grand to the guitar price just by playing a few chords on it.
I'd play a Lovebites live performance video to the store staff, so they know who she is. They probably think she's some random Asian woman who doesn't even know how to play. 🤦
いや在庫量エグいな‼️
このギブソン、もう売れてると思う。😂
9k for the Les Paul! ouch
Miyako is that the Pigeon maid edition (Miku PO) EVH I believe she plays on the same one . You should get yourself a black John Sykes Les Paul.
