He wasn't sick for this performance, loved the reaction! Staying on the ballad train, I'd highly recommend checking out the live Kaya subbed for their song Ain't Afraid to Die. Based on what you talked about liking in Kyo's cleans at 6:30, it should be right up your alley.
Thanks so much for doing DeG once again! It is always a pleasure to watch and I hope you'll continue your journey with them ☺️ I'll try to answer all of your questions and if there will be some left please don't hesitate to ask! So, this is not from the same concert. The one Decayed Crow is from was in 2011 and this one is from the tour 2017-2018 so it is fairly new. These were a bunch of concerts devoted to each of their albums and that's a true blessing for us because now we have lots of new versions of old songs. In 2011 Kyo was really sick and had some problems with his voice afterwards. He is a self-taught singer and he never until that moment took any lessons. After having these issues I believe he paid serious attention to the vocal technique and came back being a completely different artist. I believe it was in 2013 but I can confuse the dates (he definitely started Sukekiyo in 2013 though). About that song. IMO that's one of their best and most beautiful ballads. I absolutely adore EVERYTHING here. It is called "Even if I am darkness..." and here's one tip. This videos with English subs are from Kaya's channel and in the description you can see all the comments for any translation including the title so that maybe will clarify the lyrics for you (usually there are a lot of comments because Japanese is quite hard to translate into English so some lines can be misinterpreted without translator's notes). And yes, he sounds amazing. No doubt here. He is such a talented human being I can't help myself but be proud of him and be thankful for the possibility to see such performances. I noticed that you enjoy Kyo's higher vocals so maybe Tousei (ua-cam.com/video/Npjms1N3sik/v-deo.html) will be an interesting one for you. As always I can swear that it's something incredible and you'll highly enjoy it. It's kind of a ballad but not like this one I'm not sure how to define it 😂 And don't forget about iconic Elisabeth Addict by Sukekiyo (ua-cam.com/video/sBFIUuzGXvc/v-deo.html). In terms of vocals it is a masterpiece and the instruments are insane as well. That's one of my favorites of all times. Highly recommend! Thank you one again for doing these reactions and I hope that you'll continue enjoying Dir en Grey's music in the future! Have a great day! ♥️
The ballads of dir en grey are so beautiful, and so full of emotion. Inconvenient ideal, concieved sorrow and behind a vacant image are some of my favorites. The really fun thing about discovering a band that has been around for this long is that you can tell us what parts are your favorite, and we can recomend songs accordingly. Slower and emotional, try one of those. More accesible and "easy", maybe wake, lotus or the final. I really enjoy watching your reactions, I hope you will keep exploring them :)
The general translation for the title tends to be “I Am Darkness” or “For I Am Darkness”. There’s almost no way to know for sure what Kyo’s intentions were with that title.
Truly, I've never heard a more emotional singer than Kyo. You read the title of this song as "Ware, yami tote..." (wah-reh, yah-mih toh-teh, they all have two syllables), and it can mean a couple of things. The first word means "oneself", and is kind of archaic. It can even have the Buddhist spiritual meaning of the self, although I don't know if Kyo was using it in this way for the song. Yami just means darkness, and "tote" is also an archaism that means "even", and is meant to connect to what comes next. Only, nothing comes next! Just an ellipsis! Which is definitely deliberate, of course, that's Kyo for you. So it doesn't really make sense as a sentence without guessing what Kyo is trying to say. There are clues in the lyrics, I think, although I'd like to study them more before making a statement I'd be fairly secure of... but I think the title means one of these things: "Onself, even if [it is] darkness...", "For oneself, even darkness will...".
I personally was always translating 我 (ware) as "I" or "me" (archaic form of 私) and translated the whole tilte as "Me, called the darkness", but yes, it can be translated in many ways as you said
I really like your reactions, you seems pretty honest. Hope you can check more from DeG, Sukekiyo and other awesome japanese bands :) ♥ And now that you're familiar with DeG, I would suggest you Macabre- Live from Tabula Rasa 2013!

@@smittycal Good to hear =) I’m trying to heal my gut, so I usually drink some fermented Kefir milk for my probiotics. I only recently read about red wine’s probiotics. And it’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed some chill time with alcohol. So I’m gonna buy my favorite full-bodied table wine, Burgundy flavor! It has taste of semisweet red berries, some kind of earthy spices and cocoa. Unfiltered beer is difficult for me to get my hands on. Many brewers pasteurize and filter the probiotics out. When it comes to beer, throughout most of our history we’ve drank unpasteurized & unfiltered.

He can do that note on his own, it wasn't an accident. He sings it the same way in the original recording.
