People are posting public scans of Kyo's new photobook already??

I really don't understand why people would do that? Its still so new! Some people havnt even got it yet.

I'm begging you guys not to start scanning and posting Kaoru's schedule book on your feeds as soon as you get it. There's no point in him selling it in that case.

Kaoru Ongaku to Hito Interview  May 2021

DIR EN GREY  Endless originality. Don’t shake, don’t move, don’t give up. As the leader and main composer of DIR EN GREY,  he made me realize in this interview that even if the band is in a situation in which they can’t move forward, they are still striving toward their own determination without losing sight of their desire to create music. The new single “Oboro” is a ballad with a simple sound envision that insists on the melody and lyrics. In this single, which was made with the intention of being widely listened, you can feel a different stance on the sounds and the arrangements. I think his obsession with music and the pursuit of originality are changing because of his age and career. On the other hand, the latest promotional photos are still grotesque and chaotic. The future this band is heading for it’s held by his unchanging desire for music. Here there is a dialogue with him which makes you believe so.

About Kyo's colorful voice (2)

ーーAt the same time, the many ways of using your voice have become a part of your personality as a vocalist. What kind of process did you go through to broaden your singing style?

Kyo：In my opinion, I think it has been narrowed. Up until “Withering to death.” I had been using various techniques to expand my voice in the work, but with “THE MARROW OF A BONE” it suddenly shrunk. After performing live, I got really pissed off at being called “The vocalist who cannot sing” (laugh). Some people thought that I was just doing a good job of making sound recordings on the computer (laugh). Until then, I had intentionally included soundtracks that without singing in the coupling song of singles. But in the end, nothing seemed to be conveyed. There was a great sense of distance, so I felt that I was the only one walking to an unknown place, I had to pull them up. So I decided to raise the quality of our works above “Withering to death.” From a global perspective, what is the style that only I could create? I did some research on myself, and I packed it all into “UROBOROS.” Moreover, I felt like I've almost 100% recreated it in live performances so no one would complain. After I actually did it, I was able to create exactly what I had envisioned, and I felt satisfied that I could become a singer with a unique style. After that, when we toured overseas, I was selected in many rankings in the metal vocalist category, and I felt that I had done nothing wrong. I think it was with “UROBOROS” that I finally found a match between my live performances and our works.

Yesterday I was searching the back issues of Kaoru's blog for something specific, but in the meantime I was reminded that Vol:62 from Sep 2018 is public!

See TheThe Day for free here! (Scroll down to Vol:62)

This was in commemoration of the release of The Insulated World, he decided to make one update free for everyone so they could see what the blog is really like.

I have had a few questions over the months asking what Kaoru's blog is like, so please have a look if you are curious.

The current format is slightly different from the 2018 format, but you will def get a sense of it.
