Ongaku to Hito 2018/11 edition - 京 interview
Short interview:
Kyo is chasing something that he feels is a vision, is visible, but cannot be seen. He knows that it’s out there though.
Since forever, he feels this profound loneliness, even if he were to surround himself with people. And yet, he finds that this makes his heart strong. When describing this feeling, he tapped on his chest.
He reflected that it has been a while since he went out to eat with the other members of Dir en grey. However, he wouldn’t know what to say.
To fill the loneliness, he works. He considers that no person can fill it. His job consists of staying in shape and reflecting on his self-expression.
He feared getting hurt by exposing himself so bare with the latest songs. However, if only one person is able to understand anything and everything, then it will have been worth it and everyone else can attack him.
Again, if he ever becomes happy/finds happiness, then the artist named Kyo no longer exists.
The older he becomes, the higher anxiety he feels. From what I understand, he imagined talking to his self from back when he started a band, and he would say: “Is that right?!” (Eh? Maji de?) if he had known that his level of anxiety would rise so much.
If he did not have art/music to express himself, he guessed that he would publish a hundred Tweets per day instead.
Regarding other artists that do similar things or litterally sing his songs, he thinks that there are some lies, but if, even by a misunderstanding, someone really does something with pure feelings, then he will be glad that he was not alone.

Pronunciation
My two favorite singers are Kyo (Dir en grey/sukekiyo) and Sono (Matenrou Opera/Unmei Kousaten)
Both have a very different pronunciation and I love both their way of doing it for different aspects of it.
Kyo was born and raised in Kyoto, he has a strong Kansai dialect and he’s very proud of it. One of the very strongly present features of this is his slurring, something he’s quite famous for. I like the way it sounds but what I like most is what it does when he puts in the effort to sing with clear enunciation. Because he has a tendency to slur his consonants have a very delicate sound somewhere between very pronounced but also very soft when he enunciates them more clearly and I really love that. My favorite sounds of his are
-か け き こ く
-さ し す せ そ
-た ち つ -ふ
-て と
-じ ず
As for Sono he has a very particular way of pronouncing vowels, for whatever reason. Speculations range from ‘’he used to move around a lot as a kid so he may have picked up on a lot of accents’’ to ‘’it’s a result of his unique style of singing’’ (and the more extreme rumors he may be foreign) and I may never know what it really is but I’m very fond of it. So my favorite sounds of his would be his vowels as well as the ん sound and what the っ sound does to his vowels. I also like his ひ sound and those in the ば and ま row because he has a more nasal voice and it just does something really nice to those sounds. Songs I would recommend so you can hear these features well in both their voices would be: For kyo -Hakudaku (Adoratio) by sukekiyo -Ruten no Tou Acoustic ver. (Sustain the Untruth) by Dir en grey -304 Goushitsu, Shita to Yoru (Anima) by sukekiyo For Sono -Tengoku no Aru Basho (AVALON) -Beyond the Sorrow (PANTHEON -PART2-) -Apoptosis (Justice) And I adore the first ひ in the first word in this song a lot <3 -Invisible Chaos (Invisible Chaos)
DIR EN GREY- Ranunculus Lyrics English and Japanese
(Japanese)
嫌いな詩流れてる 気にしたこともない 詩が嘘のように言葉を殺す その時気がつく私の心に
初めから気づかないフリで 自分自身押さえつけて生きてきたのは 上手く生きるためなんかじゃない 春よ、夢うつつ
人を失うことに怯え いつも自分を誰かのように嘘で騙す その時、気がつく私の心にRanunculus 艶やかなこの道をRanunculus
初めから気づかないフリで自分自身押さえつけて生きてきたのは上手く生きるためなんかじゃない 春よ、夢うつつ 憎む為じゃないだろ? 誰かのために今日も笑うの? 叫び、生きろ私は生きてるRanunculus
(English)
I have never cared that a song I hate is being played Then I noticed in my heart the song kills words like a lie
Pretending like I did not notice from the beginning, The aim of having lived pressed down, is not to live well It is spring, in a trance
Being afraid of losing people and always deceiving myself with lies like I am someone else, that is when I notice in my heart RANUNCULUS RANUNCULUS on this bewitching road
Pretending like I did not notice from the beginning, The aim of having lived pressed down, is not to live well It is spring, in a trance It is not for the sake of hate, is it? Are you laughing for someone else today as well? Cry out, live, I am alive RANUNCULUS
