is the end of the interview on 6 pages Kyo.
I am appreciative to know that improvises beautiful words he sings in concert. I often say, but it is part of the great pleasures which I am glad to understand a little Japanese ..
Page 5
You has often been noticed but the lyrics on the CD and concert are almost all the time different.
Kyo: Aah, whenever they are different.
The melodies are also changing is not it? You have a small stock prepared in advance?
Kyo: No! No ! I improvise the lyrics. So even if one understands the words, they do not necessarily make sense. But actually I express my feelings at the moment to be honest and direct. Even if sometimes it is words, sometimes it can just be screaming.
height (pitch in English) that I'm singing combines with all that, and it gives "Me." I hate it when it is prepared in advance.
It's strange, I wonder how you manage to have such a flow
Kyo: Like I said before, when you are angry then you're not? When you are sad, then you are sad? Same thing.
there unlike the times when nothing comes out of you?
Kyo: No. I am always sad and always angry, so they are not. I never filled. If I filled, I would sing happy songs.
And this aspect is the very foundation of the group is not it?
Kyo: Yes. If the foundation had to be fun, so I'd probably do the party.
In our foundations, there is nothing joyful, and this from the beginning. It is always sad.
If you arrived at the point of having a bright image, a joyful image, an image of happiness ... or anything in the genre that would become "what Dir en gray will express! , Then for sure ... I Quit! I stop at once! ! !
We're talking about very basic things here.
Kyo: Yes it's true. And then after that, if we are reduced to being unable to do that rooms with 2, 30 people, I do not sing. I would stop whatever happens! That is obvious.
Because you can not deliver your message?
Kyo: No, that's not it. But by doing this we did not want to do, what sense does it? in words. No, does not it?
Until then, you write all the lyrics, but what will you do if a group member wants to write lyrics too?
Kyo: I would not want to sing.
You did not ask what kind of words they could write?
Kyo: I do not know. I'm not interested in the words of others. I do not read the words of others as well, not at all. "Not at all" is not the word! about 18 years ago, I read the lyrics of my favorite artists ...
I often said I do not like me before Macabre, I do not like the front Macabre, Macabre after I have ever read words of other artists.
[I can not make it, but in fact it means he does not like what he did before because it is gruesome too influenced post gruesome better as he goes has stopped reading the work of others]
Oh indeed, it comes from.
Kyo: So I'm interested in it. I read what others think and I say "so what? . We do not even feel the same things. I'm
extreme is not it ...
So the gap between the front and the rest Macabre is also on this level ...
Kyo: Yes yes yes yes.
My favorite artists, I liked them a lot, I read a lot and I absorbed a lot of things. And because my ideas were too softened (/ optimistic?), I do not like this period. I do not like, not how I was, but mostly my ideas.
So after all that is macabre, words and all the rest .... The how to speak comes out from nowhere else but you alone, it suffers no influence or no processing by another person.
Kyo: Yes, that's about it.
I've already asked the artists you recommend, but this time I ask you to the lyrics.
Kyo: Yes, but I do not read the words. And I can not base myself on a melody.
I wonder whether this group there is ... some things to carry or not. No matter how the melody is beautiful, if not "a beautiful melody ".... I will see it as as a "beautiful flower".
Ah I see.
Kyo: And I'm not interested. It is not easy to understand? It is simple yet complicated I think.
There are walls that you still feel unable to overcome?
Kyo: No ... I? no I do not. Inside of me is what I think. I do not know how others perceive it. The
Kyo Dir en gray is it different from the intimate Kyo? If you make a cut when you do it and how?
Kyo: I do not break!
You are natural (laughs)
Kyo: I am natural. I divide? We can say that there is a difference when I'm onstage and when I'm in ordinary life, but they are really part of my personality. Really.
There are many people who worked day and night to become a singer I think, could you give them advice?
Kyo: Correctness (meaning "appropriate", "adequate")
a secret a little longer ...?
Kyo: Yes, correctness.
Sometimes you do not appreciate certain things about people just by looking at them?
Kyo (he seems to think) not. Basic as that, no. There are signs hollowing out but I do not judge just by a glance. Basically, I talk to people of all ages. I speak with younger people, who live their lives fully and awe-inspiring. If I think that this is not the case, then I'm away.
Nowadays, there are many people who back the best they can, do you happen to tell you that this person does not make her better?
Kyo: I did not have much knowledge, but in society there are some people (laughs), something like that ...
"several people" eh! "Several people" who work in our society.
...! ?
Kyo: Many people do not mean everyone! For example, about 100 people, there are about 10.
painful ... This is a discussion
Kyo: You're going to transcribe it as is?
...! ? You are severe (gout)
You have been invited to perform at Linkin Park concert, what were the echoes?
Kyo ... "assholes Japanese. And do not censorship!
If I can write it then I will.
Kyo: No, write it!
There have been two days. How was the second ...?
Kyo "in Japanese assholes" again, except that there were some fans there ... they seemed to appreciate .. they found it well I think. Without paying attention to the eyes of others, I find it admirable. It is worthy of respect.
is why this evening I singing course for me but especially for those who had come to see Dir en gray.
For those who understand you, such as for fans who read this interview.
Kyo: Yes yes yes! I see nothing else besides them.
However, bleachers, some seemed to speak in good terms Dir en gray.
Kyo: Yes .... Plus you steadfast censorship, the better your return. (Laughter disgusted)
(ditto) Even tommy san was on edge that night, in what appears.
Kyo: Yes, I think, really!
Dir en Grey-time concept that is "Pain." What is the best way to express it?
Kyo: Huh? What we do now.
concerts?
Kyo: Concerts. What can I do besides that?
Lately, you mutilate ... much less compared to before.
Kyo: Yes, I do not do it.
During the concert ... Shinkiba
Kyo: Yes, the third day.
What difference is there in your feelings when you do and when you do not?
Kyo: Humor.
And when you do, what "mood" are you?
Kyo: At worst.
Is it pushes you to want to destroy something?
Kyo: No, I do not know. On reflection, yes it can get it. In
innocent?
Kyo: Yes yes yes. When I became aware ... I'm already standing on my base with a pin in her hand.
You do not pretend at this time.
Kyo: No (your stated)
How do you next year (2008)? What do you do?
Kyo: next year ...
This year you've done 121 shows.
Kyo: I want to make my year ... "make the album more tortured," the most tripped!
can lend themselves to hope so! ?
Kyo: Yes you can.
The next album will be an extension of The Marrow of a Bone? Or maybe you want to do something different?
Kyo: well, rather different I think. Already, Dozing Green is not quite different? We also were changed. There are no other guys who do the same music that we far.
That is so true.
Kyo: So we'll do something new.
You also write songs?
Kyo: I do ... but I do not have so much talent to compose even when I write, it is the basis of a melody.
And for the next album ...
Kyo: I'm asked to do so ... but right now I'm already on the melodies. And even if I create a song using a melody, it would not make much sense. What is really important ... when I create a piece is to ask whether I compose for the group, or for me? What I do is for me or the band? In general, it should be for the group. But it's not my case.
Aah, depending on what comes to mind actually.
Kyo: Yes. I am free. I am not sure if it's for my group or me. When I decided, I write!
Recently there are letters that You wrote that you were upset?
Kyo: No, there were plenty of letters insipid, "it was too bright, I have not managed to see your face," "I learned to shout" stupid stuff like that. When I find stuff like that, I throw.
is almost time to go on stage, what does this tour?
Kyo: This tour is cool I guess. Very well!
Until now we did a lot, and this is the best in my opinion.
Because you seem to have succeeded do what you want?
Kyo was successful. Much on the expression of our universe, and in terms of performance. Overall, I managed to do what I wanted. I have done what I had imagined in my head. And in this tour, the date is the second worst day Shinkiba. From a personal point of view.
And why?
Kyo: Huh? It rots.
Even the song ...
Kyo Song, concentration ... Everything. I was not entered in the universe the concert. I said earlier, it depends on the order of songs and full of things ... Anyway, as it was really bad, I was not able to give 100%.
Although I still have three days of concerts, or a week, I tell myself every time when I'm onstage, "tonight is your last! "
It's a bit harsh but you would have regrets if you were to die tomorrow?
Kyo: No. Finally, I would but I do not want. I think that compared to other people, I absolutely can not have them.
Give you a bottom?
Kyo: I give myself fully. From the first song, I tell myself it's my last time.
Among my relationships, there are those who have died while holding a microphone, if you die while holding a microphone, will leave you happy?
Kyo: But it's great! awesome! x3 just great.
Ca bother us a bit, that staff time (embarrassed laugh)
Kyo: Yes it's great but no! ?
[I do not understand then but basically that's it:]
"No, I want to go from the first song! In addition, I am already on the verge of death from the first song. I already gave 100%, 120% see, I often feel on the verge of fainting. "
For this tour, the proportion of girl and boy is almost the same ...
Kyo: Recently I have not watched. The male audience is very restless, they remain fairly confined until they emerge from their shell, is not it? They should feel embarrassed about it ... and then there are a lot of girls. Today I say "girls or boys, they're crazy! . The main thing is that everything goes well, right?
normally means the difference of tone in the crowd when it's girls who scream or where the boys. Recently, it remains the same key.
Kyo: yes yes. And I've been well aware, that's why.
Indeed.
Kyo: I understood that it was not important at all.
Girls or boys, the main thing they are there, and they exceed their limits or not.
Kyo: Yes it is the main just that.
I would have liked to continue talking with you, but it is 6:30 ET the concert will begin soon. Thank you very much.
