** Just how famous he is during the film. Miyavi wasn't a big sensation in Japan in 2004, having little to no notoriety outside of VisualKei fans. Visual Kei bands and artists such as Music/LArcEnCiel, GLAY, Music/DirEnGrey, Music/{{Gackt}} and Music/XJapan were far more well-known; but even then, musicians that would have their image all over billboards and Jumbotrons in 2004 would be more mainstream-friendly acts like Music/AyumiHamasaki, Kumi Koda or Music/UtadaHikaru (or perhaps even L'Arc~En~Ciel and Gackt, as they were all LighterAndSofter by then), since the entire visual kei subculture is far too out-there for the conservative Japanese palate, nor did it exist in a mainstream demographic until the 2010s.

Twenty-three year old rock star [[Music/{{Miyavi}} Miyavi Ishihara]] is a major music sensation in his home country of Japan. A superstar of the thriving VisualKei underground scene, he can barely walk out of his apartment in Tokyo without being mobbed by adoring fans, playing sold out venues night after night. This is the life he wanted, the life he left his little home in Osaka City when he was seventeen to live. But a life in the limelight can get exhausting, and he’d be lying if he didn’t say there were times where he missed home. So one night, he decides to get into the car and go to Osaka for a visit, and falls asleep on the way.
