Kyo is without doubt the most talented vocalist (and also artist) around. Dir en grey is also one of the most unique metal bands, so be prepared to stay for a looong time ;) You should also check out the vocalist's other project sukekiyo. As for my top five: Vinushka, Different Sense, Ware yami tote..., The World of Mercy, Rinkaku
"Strange video" ....oh lord, you aren't ready. This is the tamest of tame for them. Also welcome to Kyo's vocal range. His natural singing range is A1-G#7. With screams/growls and falsetto/whistle notes he's hit as low as G1 and as high as C#8 and a debated 9th octave note. If "official" vocal range counted falsetto and growls, he'd have the biggest vocal range in history, but because it's not Mike Patton holds the title, but Kyo actually has more notes than Patton and about ten more styles. Everything from operatic falsetto to death growls to throat singing to glass shattering belts.
I love the fact that everyone that listens to them and has a good sense of music taste is like 'why didn't I listen to them before?!' Like yes.. Welcome ❤️😎 Also, the mermaid and eating; In earlier Japan they believed that the flesh of a mermaid would grant people the eternal life, hence the mermaid and 'fish scales' /fish themes Like alot of other people said, there is alot more 'weird' and disturbing videos and performances Live they are the best, that's probably why everyone will recommend mostly live performances for you to react. Saw them myself a few times, and every single time my mind was blown away.. Nothing is ever the same, the emotional discharge, the atmosphere, feelings all over the place.. They are always top notch ❤️
Thank you so much for explaining that to me! Its great when people let others know the questions they actually asked in the reaction video. I did enjoy them and I found out that I actually have seen them live back in the late 2000s on Korns family values tour. Dont remember them but I guess I did lol.
Uroko was also the first song I ever heard from them. My personal favorite song is the Blossoming Beelzebub, a slow eerie doom vibe song (album version is the best). But I would recommend the song Vinushka, my 2nd favorite, because that song is a masterpiece, with all the singing techniques of Kyo. It showcases better their talent and versatility. Definitely worth checking out.
if I'm not mistaken uroko means fish scales, I don't remember what the song is about but the lyrics by kyo the vocalist are very confusing (he writes all the lyrics), I recommend ware yami tote ..., vinushka and dozzing green, all live, are songs from the album uroboros. Have a nice day
@@LEDsMoshPit I recommend listening to it live because in many cases kyo sings even better live, also the emotion it gives to live songs is something unique, it is a complete experience to see these guys live, and their concerts are too good is, something insane
I really liked your reaction 😊 Uroko means fish scale like people said and the ningyo is Japanese 'meremaid' that if you eat will give eternal life but that life can be curse of course! The lyrics can have much interpretation but I think it is about Hinduism believe of getting horn again and again in way eternal cursed life. With the eating of fish eggs I think this again consuming of the own flesh/killing of baby like abortion it is ongoing theme in their music that you can find in videos and song like Obscure and Mazohyst of Decadence. I am sorry for mistakes I can not look up words in the moment 😅 My favorite song is Itoshisa ha fuhai ni tsuki. But this is different type if song and it is personal taste. I think you should listen to Vinushka or Macabre next. I also think always live is best! Like I said on other channel I feel most bands work on record their songs and then try to match up to the record live but with dir en grey recording is first step and then in shows they start to perfect them and it is ongoing. They change much songs live with time and you can get full emotional experience. It is not for everyone but if it is for you you have a world to discover ☺️

Yeah I have heard it only gets more weirder with this band.

Like yes.. Welcome ❤️😎

A new world has opened for you...the world of Dir en grey, you will hear more of them from now on and you will love it :) no doubt.
Cant wait

I shall take a look!
The blossoming beelzebub is my favorite as well! It’s weird as hell but I love it

rana qla fish scales would make sense. Why suggest the songs live first if I may ask?

Bruh Shinya is a beast look at that style it’s fuckin wicked.
he sure is man
great video, and welcome to dir en grey. I recomend "diabolos" maybe for aonther reaction.
Saludos desde Chile.
Ill take a listen thanks! Hope you're staying safe in Chile!
I would recommend Dir En Grey Macabre Tabula Rasa Live
Ill take a look!
@@LEDsMoshPit That's a great one, probably their "magnum opus" at least in terms of composition. Prog masterpiece.
Fantastic band! If you thought this video was strange, check out their Obscure MV :) Great reaction again!
Thank you! Will do!
Obscur is not strange.. It's disturbing.. For some 😂
I really liked your reaction 😊

Thank you so much for the info I really appreciate it! Its interesting how the mermaid signifies that much.
Fucking in love with dir en grey
They are great

Thank you so much for the suggestions on the songs!
@@LEDsMoshPit no problem
u gotta check out their song juuyoku
I shall!
Please keep reacting to Dir en Grey
Thank you very much!
From All first time reactions of Dir en Grey, you have to react to song "Obscure"
Ill add it to my phone list now!
@@LEDsMoshPit Obscure is an amazing song, but the video is very distracting. I hope you still will notice the music.
That would be the worst suggestion for a first timer. Obscure is too disturbing.
Yes, not all Japanese metal is by women! Most of it, but not all...
haha
