Anyone who knows something about Japanese visual kei will probably know about dir en gray, a band that softens gothic, metal and other diversified musical elements. KYO, the lead singer of dir en gray, has a unique voice, and there is a lot of controversy about his voice. People who like his voice like it very much, and people who hate his voice hate it extremely... two extremes.
You can listen to "Zan" and "Sun's Bi" first, and you may know immediately whether you like the style of this band or not.
dir en gray was founded in February 1997. Its predecessor band was called La:sadie's. The original members were Jing, Zi Xu (Guitar), Die, Kisaki (bass & leader) and Shinya. On January 15, 1997, Kisaki left the group and La:sadie’s announced its disbandment. After Toshiya joined, the band officially changed its name to Dir En Grey. "dir" comes from German, "en" comes from French, and "grey" comes from English. "Dir, en" themselves are meaningless words. The word they want to express that can cover black and white is "grey" - gray.
By the way, Kisaki, the leader of La:sadie's period, is very famous in the indie world. He has formed the bands La:Sadie's, Mirage, Syndrome... Kisaki seems to have been in all the bands. There are relatively promising bands in the Indie world, but they all end up disbanding. I really have to admire his many abilities.

Of all the special things about Dir en grey, one of the most lethal weapons is Kyo's voice, which wanders between whispers and hysterics, sometimes even for long periods of time. One sound jumps to another. Intense pain and difficult endurance, that kind of sound will make you feel like you are being hit hard deep in your heart. Even if a stereo set can't reflect the explosive power he displays on stage, his voice can indeed replace this small regret.

One of the most versatile instruments in Dir en grey's arsenal is Kyo's voice, which ranges from whispering to hysterical, sometimes leaping between the two every few seconds. Raw and hard to endure, his touch has a deep impact on the psychological effect of their songs. Even if a stereo cannot emulate the energy he displays on stage, his voice and words certainly overcompensates for that misfortune.
