This is where I'll write about Miyavi and his music.
雅-miyavi- (雅～みやび～) is the ex-guitarist of Due'le Quartz. During his time with Due'le Quartz, he was called Miyabi, meaning elegant, but when he went solo, he changed his name to Miyavi (late 2002). In late 2004, he changed it again to MYV. However, he is still listed as "Miyavi" on both his official website and on magazines.

History.
Due'le Quartz.
Miyavi, while in Due'le Quartz, was known as Miyabi. His position in the band was that of guitarist and, occasionally, background vocals. He was the youngest member of the band, joining in 1999 at age 17, and developed the "youthful and flamboyant" image he still carries on today in his solo career, albeit it has been tweaked a bit. Due'le Quartz disbanded in September of 2002, with Miyabi following up shortly afterwards with the announcement of his solo career.
Solo Career.
Miyabi appeared on TV to promote his debut album, Gagaku, also stressing the name change from "Miyabi" to "Miyavi." He continued to stress this change on into the first year of his solo career. It wasn't long before he had amassed a very large fanbase, despite having lost some of his old fanbase from his Due'le Quartz days, going on to release multiple singles and another album. About two years later, in late 2004, he was signed (or "married" as Universal and he had jokingly put it) to Universal Records Japan, making the transition from Indies to major. It was then that he made a second name change to MYV. As previously stated, however, it appears to be a shortened version of "Miyavi," as he still appears in magazines (and is listed on his website) as "Miyavi." His release, Rock no Gyakushuu -Super Star no Jouken-, marked his major debut.
New Band.
After a four month long stay in America, Miyavi has accomplished something new, which might come as a surprise for a few. Upon return to Japan, Miyavi announced in a video comment (link posted on his official website) that he would like to 'try screaming in the background again' and thus found an amazing guy (older than him) and will start their band in 2007. Although he cannot say more, he also assured that he would also like to continue producing as a solo artist.
It has been speculated that Miyavi will be joining Yoshiki, Gackt and Sugizo in their band in 2007. However Miyavi has never addressed this. Yoshiki has stated that he will announce the other members of the band at Jrock Revolution on May 25th & 26th, which Miyavi will be performing at.
At the first night of JRock Revolution, miyavi confirmed the members of Yoshiki's "Super Band" that many have speculated about. The members of the band are Yoshiki, Gackt, miyavi, and Sugizo! The band's name has been announced to be S.K.I.N. During the same night, Yoshiki confirmed that the Super Band will be making their first debut as a band at Anime Expo 2007 on June 29th.
