KYO is the strangest person I have ever seen yet. So small yet so strange. I believe that all kyo fans know many things I mention below which I am very fascinated about.

Kyo is the best lyricist I have ever known. He writes with such extreme themes and such difficult kanji that I can barely pronounce any of the lyrics. The Kisou album has so much kanji in it that I can't even follow. I really don't know where he is. His lyrics are also very indirect and have meanings behind them that you don't realise at one glance. I guess this is the beauty behind kyo after all, even though he got out of school by turning in a blank exam.

Kyo has a voice so unique you know it's him. No doubt about it. I know there are people who really hate his voice especially when he starts screaming in the song, but hey, that's his speciality. He can scream yet sing with such power and never seem to get a sore throat.

But his talents aside, Kyo is an eccentricity. He seems to enjoy making himself look more and more grotesque with every image change of dir en grey. One look and you know, oh the short and ugly one in the middle with horrible piercings and semi-opaque contact lenses is Kyo. And seriously I am really fascinated by his piercings. Somehow they add to kyo's face in a strange way. It seems to tell more about him.

Kyo is also well known for sleeping anywhere anyplace. It doesn't really matter where he goes to because he can sleep there too. Unfortunately, my dear kyo is also well known for lying in interviews. How true this is, is another matter. Kyo does give some ridiculous answer to questions but hey, don't all celebrities give crappy answers too?

Kyo stands out among the sea of j-rockers and visual people in Japan for his talents and looks. He does not seem to bother the fact that visual kei are a bunch of really pretty guys--including his own band members, he just seems to know that there are still people out there who appreciate him for more than his outer appearance. And please don't call him cute. Or Kyo-chan. You'll get killed.
