Kyoreography #57 - Kyo x Microphone Cord Spectacular!

Fearuring 50% new material, the first GIF is from a performance of Aka (subtitled by Kaya) and the gutting movements are from the Meguro 21 - World of Mercy. I was flabbergasted when first seeing Kyo’s cord gut pulling at a performance of Blossoming Beelzebub in Cologne - in what was part funny and part terrifying, Kyo pulled his microphone string as gut at the start of the song, followed by dropping it and stomping on it, then turning his back to us and facing a camera at the back that projected his face in garbled colours. In Dortmund’s World of Mercy, we got an encore presentation. 

Gifs 5-7 are a selection from earlier Kyoreographies where his cord becomes an integral part of his performance. Gif 8 is the first gif I made of Kyo, from the 2010 Uroboros at Budokan - Stuck Man, and was featured on this blog but not in a Kyoreography.

Oh Amazon...

First encounter with Amazon, never needed them before but I got a gift card as present, so... I decide to look for DIr En Grey. Pitfall of being Dutch is they use a translation engine because they’re too cheap to hire a translator for millions of items. Understandable. And not understandable at the same time. After spending a few minutes in stitches after finding they need to translate the word “Switch “to schakelaar - whenever they’re talking about the gaming console - I decide to look up my favourite band:

animals grey. I’d be punching my screen in if it wasn’t so hilarious.

Kyoreography 53! It’s been a long time coming! Enjoy these GIFs from Budokan 2010′s Bugaboo and Fukai from The World You Live In. The ones with the beams were a nightmare - it’s such an utterly gorgeous shot but I had to crop and shrink them to very tiny proportions in order to get them under 2MB (the max size Tumblr allows for a moving GIF), I intend to upload the larger ones for overall Kyosomeness.

Kyoreography #52: Zombie Kyo

All these gifs were made of the 2018 Shinsekai concert. The zombie walk that I will probably have nightmares from at the top is Disabled Complexes, there's three Repetition of Hatred gifs, Audience Killer Loop and the interminable pirouette from Vinushka.
