This Iz the Japanese Kabuki Rock is an album released by Miyavi on March 19, 2008. A limited edition was released on SHM-CD, a supposedly high-quality CD format developed by Universal[1], and includes a DVD featuring music videos and documentary footage.[2] The album is advertised as the "final stage" of Miyavi's recent "Neo Visualizm" theme,[2] and features the artist's performance troupe, the Kavki Boiz, including an MC, various instrumentalists, and other artists.
The documentary on the second disc features footage of the making-of the album. The film shows a month-by-month breakdown of each song being recorded in various studios.
A working title for "Jpn Pride" was "Azn Pride". Songs that did not make the album or underwent rewriting include "Morning Glory" and "Winding Road". The title of "Azn Pride" was later used for his greatest hits compilation for Korea and Taiwan, titled Azn Pride -This Iz the Japanese Kabuki Rock-.
