Kyo composed Sajou no Uta from Vulgar. There’s a clip of him sitting with Die trying to tell him what chords to use and it’s clear that Kyo really doesn’t have much technical knowledge of music because he wasn’t able to just tell him the chord. Die would strum some chords and Kyo would point and be like “that one!”
@@Ikiya69 i havent seen that one. i really like the clip of an acoustic performance of yokan also im pretty sure the songs are composed before lyrics are written
My favorite singer is Mike Patton of Faith No More,Fantomas,Mr Bungle, & a ton of other bands. He’s basically Kyo’s American counterpart, but his technique is more polished.
@@tylerjames805 I'm sorry but Mike Patton is way more diverse than Kyo is. Like, by a huge landslide. Patton has the widest range of octaves in popular music. Can sing in basically any style there is . I love Kyo but Patton is on a whole new level then everyone else.
Too many comments to sift through, but Yoshiki scouted Dir en grey and produced their triple-single major debut (Akuro no oka / Yurameki / Zan). Not a lot to do with Toshi; although, I once read that Kyo's interest in music began with guitar and an infatuation with hide--the deceased guitarist of X, now filled by Sugizo (also, strangely enough, part of Luna Sea, also made famous by Yoshiki). Small-world history lessons.
You might not be very objective because Ruki is clearly under Kyo on every aspect of his vocals : vocal range, shouting techniques, vocal depth, vocal variations, emotional range, inventiveness, talent as a songwriter and I'm not talking of the deep meaning of Kyo's lyrics. Ruki's melodies often sound the same and there are no big differences with other V-kei singers whereas Kyo is unique. You can prefer Ruki's voice, but please keep in mind that these two are just incomparable.
While Kyo isn't my favorite vocalist, he is one of the top two or three most impressive rock/metal vocalists ever in my opinion. I'm constantly amazed at what he can pull off.
Kyo is probably my favorite vocalist too, because the band is my favorite one of J-Rock but also that band have their own style that touch me in the mind. His lyrics make so much story, and the music is just the music of his voice. I don't want to say this band is like boss, I don't like to act like fanatic to explain what is a great music band.
Cool vid! It's actually pretty cool to see someone else who has Kyo as their favorite vocalist. It was pretty much an instant decision after listening to them for about two months a couple of years ago. He's definitely my favorite vocalist along with Mike Patton and hatis noit.
Hatis noit's stuff is legit pretty cool. Her solo works are all incredibly interesting experimental acapella using a pretty diverse repertoire of vocal techniques and a neat use of layering. Her band Mutyumu is one of my favorite bands, just a really cool mixture between post-rock, avant-garde metal and modern classical. But yeah for sure, It did take me by surprise as well. I loved it right away lol.
I've really been on a Diru binge lately, really love how unique Kyo's voice is. I still think ruki and the Gazette is my favorite and yeah I definitely see the influence they had from Diru and Kyo but they have made thier own way with a unique sound of thier own. Both are amazing bands. Loved the videos.
I love Kyo, he's definitely up there in my top 5 singers. I'm so glad he doesn't do any of the freaky things he used to do on stage. Hmm, favourite vocalist, that's a tough question. I think it has got to be Gackt.
Definitely he is the best vocalist in this world! I've been listening to this band for more than thirteen years so i living his evolution and is amazing I love it every change in his style and music I cried so much when I saw them live in 2009 the best day of my life I will never forget Kyo will be my platonic love for all my live his voice make me feel so much and i can listen him forever Very good video greetings from chile :D
Thats what every Gazette fan says . But just a look at the Videos from their album Dogma with the nature and animal pictures , and than look at Dir en Greys Dum Spiro Spero . It´s very obviously that the Gazette was inspired by Diru
Yeah, Gazette are pretty different. It seems sometimes people just don't know the difference between being inspired by somebody and trying to be like them. :)
Kyo's vocal were inspired by Mike Patton and Maynard JK. And he is number 1 vocalist of all time. And the 'some other guy' of Sukekiyo was from Rentrer en Soi.
Never heard of Dir en grey mentioning Mike Patton even once anywhere. I remember them mentioning Pantera and other vocalists with great range but not Patton for some reason.
thanks..cool Video!! my favorit vocalists are Kyo and Gackt ( Gackt also a japanese artist his music is pop/rock/ classic etc .. his voice is really mesmerizing..so perfect and his character is perfect also. he plays 14 many instruments , he is actor , he write his own lyrics , he has own companies ..he just wants to be and is perfect in everytjing he does....you should check him oit youll love him
kyo is a monster. he may not have the perfect voice for singing, but he sings better than most of the others. just by the way he does it. and i love his falsettos
I love both kyo and ruki. But the facts that lots of deg fans throws hate towards the gazette makes me wonder... Why? When we're talking bout best vocalists , that could be universal to every persons. I don't see why people needs to compare when all of those vocalists try as hard as they could to serve us. Y'all sounds pretty immature.
Hi! I love this video on Kyo (btw, according to the japanese fanbase Kyo's real name is Hironori Nishimura) and I too hope you will do all the members of Dir en grey, especially Die and Kaoru. :)
I really love Atsushi Sakurai of Buck-Tick. He has both a performance and visual style that's just legendary, so I can see why Kyo and others are so inspired. I also love Hizumi from D'espairsRay, who share in a lot of similarities with Dir en Grey in style. It's sad about his voice problems, otherwise they could still be making music. When I was younger I really loved Kagrra too, so it was upsetting when I heard the lead singer passed away, he had a beautiful voice.
We're doing a video on Buck Tick that will be released within the next few weeks. Thanks for sharing. :) Those are some really good vocalists you've chosen.
Great video man. I'm really enjoying your music stuff. My favorite female vocalist is probably Adele. Lol I know be she is really amazing. Male vocalist would be Freddy Mercury from Queen. My favorite band of all time is System of a down. But my favorite entertainer is Michael Jackson. I'm pretty all over the place haha.
Ha that's a good choice. From a theatrical perspective, I would put Freddy really high in that department. Adele is pretty good. I don't really know who my favorite female singer would be lol
jpotion He should be fired. Dir en Grey fans are some of the better translators of Japanese. Although the spellings are in the video someone skipping through will have a hard time finding the things mentioned if going by ear alone. He pronounced the other band as tsukikio (TSU-KEE-KEE-O) and zukikio (ZU-KI-KI-O) instead of sukekiyo ( pronounced SU-KEH-KEE-YO). Kyo is one syllable. The mispronunciation not is not only grating to the ear but takes away from the professionalism of this otherwise great video. Especially since these days checking pronunciation for almost any language isn't hard to find. If this band was from America and had English title songs the narrator wouldn't have any mispronunciation because he would've looked things up.
I know I've asked you before but could you do one for Yoka and Kei of Daiura and could you do one for isshi of Kaggra or also shin of Kagrra, he plays the guitar and koto and I've never seen that before. They are all so good.I would love if you could do that please
Nice video! Just fyi on the pronounciation. His name is pronounced K-YO (quick hard 'K' sound then 'YO'... like when you pronounce Kyoto without the -to) not KEY-YO. Further along in the video is the correct pronounciation. There is long debate about Kyo's real name. Though 'Nishimura Tohru' has been debated as his 'real name', it's long been realized and confirmed that neither 'Kyo' nor 'Nishimura' is his real name. Also another fyi, I've seen Deg in concert since 2006. Kyo did self-mutilate on stage with a safety pin and scratching his chest during this short time period. In regards to the fish-hooking, he spat out empty capsules while I was there (not to say there weren't times where he'd actually cut himself inside his mouth but the blood would have then not have been so thickly red (as with the blood capsules)).
Haha, some of those scratches on his chest and abdomen was pretty extreme. Surprisingly, he's relatively unscarred from all that. For a time, he also had the words 'No Future' carved onto his chest.
The debate on Kyo's real name is large, that's for sure. I've not read a shit ton on the band, but what I have read, Tooru seems to be the most common opinion on the spelling of his 'first' name. Nishimura,I've read that it's also Niimura, well, who knows. Die is Daisuke Andou, Shinya Terachi, Hara Toshimara, and Kaoru Niikura. I tend to believe that Kyo's first name is really Tooru. If you know anything about fan fiction, the authors are stickler's for using correct information, at least in regards to names. (Yes, I'm one of those freak fan fict authors, but I usually don't write much about Diru). Authors try to use as much correct information about whatever character they're writing, I know I do. Regardless, Kyo has one of the most unique voices in music, regardless of nationality. I like the post 2008 music, more than the early stuff. As for the cutting? I've seen enough punk musicians and wrestling to know how easy it is to do.
Hi I saw your comment on SegaCD Universe's Channel and followed you here. Great stuff here... I never heard of this singer - I'll have to check Kyo out! Come swing by my channel for my gaming video's as well if you have a few minutes - and keep up the great work over here! -JT
Thanks man. I love music but you seem to know a lot more about it than I. I'll be back often - keep up the great work. I sub'd and hope you like my stuff enough to get me back. Have a good one!
The zoom in at Ruki, as you said that many try to copy him! I laughed so hard man! You made my day! But you got some facts wrong: 1: The first La:Sadies line up wasn't like you told. 2: Mr.Newsman was written from Die. 3: His second Poetry book is actually in english. I don't know the others cause I don't own them. 4: At the beginning, Kyo couldn't sing at all. But he did anyway. And it was the best choice, since he got only better through the years. 5: Live videos are actually bad quality. I see some recordings of lives were he sound terrible, but at the live itself, he sounded really great. 6: One of his big influencer was Kiyoharu. 7: When he scratched himself, the blood was unfortunately real. But he made lots of freaky shows, like in the picture you use in min 2:15 , were it wasn't real. 8: He knewer did "mutilate" himself man. As you can see, he is still in one piece. lol 9: He often had serious problems with his throath. He had "something" like cancer or tumor, which he decided to cure without surgery. He overworked his throath way too much, that is why he often sounded horrible, and couldn't even breath right. 10: And for Kyo's sake, Sukekiyo does NOT sound like the old Deg at all... 11: Yes, mama is actually his. Kyo is a Jazz fan :)
Shinomiya Satsuki so i guess not all of those were wrong xD i read somewhere he had tonsilitis and edema at one point. A tumor or cancer would be extremely fatal! Yeah im not sure why i mentioned he wrote mr. newsman...mustve been a bad source. as far as sukikyo sounding like dir en grey from a compostion standpoint theyre similar due to the modes that they share.
What the heck are you talking about? La:Sadies was like he told. It featured Kisaki on the bass instead of Toshiya. La:Sadies was basically Direngrey without Toshiya. That is all La:Sadies was. You could see that other bass player in the band called, phantasmagoria. It is also a good band.
Darby Crash of the Germs use to self mutilate, so did gg allin (biggest piece of shit in the world, glad he's dead) , Iggy Pop also did some fairly crazed things with broken glass. . I like the later, post 2008, the 'progressive' style. I've never been a fan of screamo, hardcore or whatever it's labeled as. I just DL, Mama, I like it a lot. It's hard to find streaming Dir En Grey, but I've got a few. Kyo's voice is amazing, I think the female flip of Kyo would be Nina Hagen, same range, opera to screamo. Musically I don't have a fave member. But Diru is always entertaining.
Apparently the story goes that Korn saw Diru self mutilating and that's pretty much got them on I believe one of their first US tours. I believe it was a family values tour.
Dir en grey had their first one-man tour in the US in 2006 where they performed at SXSW in Texas, NY and LA. The first US tour was the Family Values Tour with Korn in 2006 after their one-mans were successful. All this can be corroborated on Deg's official website: http(:)//direngrey(.)co(.)jp/

@@Ikiya69 i havent seen that one. i really like the clip of an acoustic performance of yokan
also im pretty sure the songs are composed before lyrics are written
Vulgar was quite a while ago lol
Kyo Is the example of a once in a lifetime talent. The raw ability to create primal sounds so naturally with an ungodly range.
If you guys want some in-depth English translations that are more accurate than the official stuff, check out perixreloaded on here
Ill give it a check out thanks!
my favorite youtuber
Yeah! Kyo is awesome. He is so underrated in the music world.
Agreed! If he were American or from the UK, he'd be super huge.
Phoenix Splash TV in his size too
Kyo has inspired me for many years and will continue to. I love him so much. Forever my favorite
Samee
Kyo, by a long shot. Kyo and everything Dir en Gret related just resonates perfectly in me. Good video.
Thanks for watching :)
Kyo is also my favorite vocalist*u*
Sweet! He is a good pick!
My favorite singer is Mike Patton of Faith No More,Fantomas,Mr Bungle, & a ton of other bands. He’s basically Kyo’s American counterpart, but his technique is more polished.
Look past Faith No More’s hits and you find that he’s just as diverse as Kyo.
And he’s got some good lyrics with Tomahawk,Peeping Tom & Faith No More (For example King for a day - The self titled Track)
@@tylerjames805 I'm sorry but Mike Patton is way more diverse than Kyo is. Like, by a huge landslide. Patton has the widest range of octaves in popular music. Can sing in basically any style there is . I love Kyo but Patton is on a whole new level then everyone else.

Kyo is definitely my favorite vocalist as well, his vocal range blew my mind the first time I heard him
His vocal range is somewhat below five octaves, as far as I know.
he's my second favorite vocalist and ruki is my first favorite vocalist i love'em both so much
Ruki is a damn good singer lol Nice choice!
You might not be very objective because Ruki is clearly under Kyo on every aspect of his vocals : vocal range, shouting techniques, vocal depth, vocal variations, emotional range, inventiveness, talent as a songwriter and I'm not talking of the deep meaning of Kyo's lyrics.

Kyo and sho of DIMLIM are 2 of my top fave vocalists
the band is amazing, and kyo is other worldly. nice video, thanks
No problem! Yes...Kyo is crazy good.
I love kyo and ruki when it comes to vocals
I like Ruki as well. Even though he's similar to Kyo's, I think it still delivers really good melodies.
While Kyo isn't my favorite vocalist, he is one of the top two or three most impressive rock/metal vocalists ever in my opinion. I'm constantly amazed at what he can pull off.
Who is your most favorite vocalist of all time?
nailed it! aweasome point of view, i fucking Love dir en grey and kyo is my best vocalist ever.
gz from brazil.

Awesome. Yeah Kyo really knows how to deliver when it comes to emotion. He really screams and sings his heart out.

Yeah from the stuff I'm hearing, Gackt is a pretty darn good singer.
Can't decide whether Kyo (DIR EN GREY) or Ruki (the GazettE) would be my favorite vocalists
Sounds like a good Musician battle!
anybody got a link to that sukekio video he was showing. The live performance.
Definitely he is the best vocalist in this world! I've been listening to this band for more than thirteen years so i living his evolution and is amazing
I love it every change in his style and music
I cried so much when I saw them live in 2009 the best day of my life
I will never forget
Kyo will be my platonic love for all my live his voice make me feel so much and i can listen him forever
Very good video greetings from chile :D
Thank you very much! and thanks for sharing :)
Kyo's book released in 2004 is written in both Japanese and English
Oh cool! I'll have to check it out!
My favorite vocalists are Mike Patton, Kyo, Christian Älvestam, Phil Anselmo, Layne Staley and King Diamond. Also, Bjorn Strid is pretty underrated.
The Best Band ever
Yeah...they're pretty darn good!
No there beyond good there 6 stars just like kenny omega 😊☺
Whoa ! Ha Ha XD Kenny Omega kicks ass You are 100% right lol
Fuck yea man and i hope he beats okada this coming june of the 11th xD 😸
Seen them live in Japan and kyo is my favorite out of the band. They are amazing live.
Kyo pretty much writes all the lyrics for Dir en grey music.
Same, Kyo's my favorite also been following him since 2005.
Noice! Yeah Kyo is pretty darn hard to compete with in my opinion.
Mike Patton and kyo are my favorites singers
They are my favorites too. Devin Townsend and Attila Csihar too
The GazettE doesn't even try to be like Dir en Grey...the hell, they're completely different
u just don't know
Thats what every Gazette fan says . But just a look at the Videos from their album Dogma with the nature and animal pictures , and than look at Dir en Greys Dum Spiro Spero . It´s very obviously that the Gazette was inspired by Diru
Inspired, yes perhaps. A lot of bands inspire eachother..but not "trying to be like them"
It's not a bad thing. At least their not stealing chord progressions and melodies like in the US. The Gazette is pretty cool lol
Yeah, Gazette are pretty different. It seems sometimes people just don't know the difference between being inspired by somebody and trying to be like them. :)
Favorite singer: Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth (Probably)
Metal has some awesome singers :)
his growls were better in bloodbath tbh

I really want to do one on Kaoru...that man is a genius!
I would love to know his background like his childhood but because you can definitely read there trauma

9: He often had serious problems with his throath. He had "something" like cancer or tumor, which he decided to cure without surgery. He overworked his throath way too much, that is why he often sounded horrible, and couldn't even breath right.
10: And for Kyo's sake, Sukekiyo does NOT sound like the old Deg at all...
11: Yes, mama is actually his. Kyo is a Jazz fan :)
Shinomiya Satsuki so i guess not all of those were wrong xD i read somewhere he had tonsilitis and edema at one point. A tumor or cancer would be extremely fatal! Yeah im not sure why i mentioned he wrote mr. newsman...mustve been a bad source. as far as sukikyo sounding like dir en grey from a compostion standpoint theyre similar due to the modes that they share.
What the heck are you talking about? La:Sadies was like he told. It featured Kisaki on the bass instead of Toshiya. La:Sadies was basically Direngrey without Toshiya. That is all La:Sadies was. You could see that other bass player in the band called, phantasmagoria. It is also a good band.
I'm talking about something I know.
The first lineup wasn't like that.
Go inform yourself first.
Inform me. How was the first lineup?
Search for your self if you are a fan. Google is your friend.
kyo all in one not key o
Yeah, I agree. He does sing in multiple keys.
@@PhoenixSplash good one
metal growling does not = screamo... screamo is a type of punk music, and has since been used as a slur against metal
THE AUDACITY!
all hail Kyo! he's GOD
YES he is! Thanks for watching!
Darby Crash of the Germs use to self mutilate, so did gg allin (biggest piece of shit in the world, glad he's dead) , Iggy Pop also did some fairly crazed things with broken glass. . I like the later, post 2008, the 'progressive' style. I've never been a fan of screamo, hardcore or whatever it's labeled as. I just DL, Mama, I like it a lot. It's hard to find streaming Dir En Grey, but I've got a few. Kyo's voice is amazing, I think the female flip of Kyo would be Nina Hagen, same range, opera to screamo. Musically I don't have a fave member. But Diru is always entertaining.
Apparently the story goes that Korn saw Diru self mutilating and that's pretty much got them on I believe one of their first US tours. I believe it was a family values tour.
Dir en grey had their first one-man tour in the US in 2006 where they performed at SXSW in Texas, NY and LA.
The first US tour was the Family Values Tour with Korn in 2006 after their one-mans were successful.
All this can be corroborated on Deg's official website:
