Gee, just because he writes about a certain subject matter and sings about it doesn't mean that he condones or supports it. IT IS ART. These are fictionalized song lyrics wrote from the vantage point of a made up rapist. Kyo has said himself that he likes to write about "socially taboo" subjects.
I think it's fair to say that this is pretty much the Japanese Iron Man seeing as it's got the same creepy kind of guitar and creepy kind of vocal delivery.
This song is actually called Tsumi to Batsu (Crime and punishment) but yes, Kyo indeed spells it with the kanji for Mitsu to Tsuba (the other way around) Maybe that title also makes more sense then Honey and Saliva
it's called Mitsu to Tsuba because it's a play on words; yes it's a play on Tsumi to Batsu. But the actual japanese lyrics refer to honey and saliva, so the title does make sense. (they're also very violent lyrics about rape)
this song is amazing and is no where near cute lyric wise. rape is not a good thing. i may be some random fan of diru most of their lyrics are not meant to be "cute". for example, obscure, which is about abortion...i am COMPLETLY against it but besides the rambling, awesome song!!
@4pred you've got to be fucking kidding me~!!! dir en grey, their music , their pvs and rape is sooo not cute at all~!!! r u even listening to the music?? if u don't know what kyo's singing, then look up the translations~!!! you retard~!!!!
i disagree with those that say that this is cute. It is anything but. it is an amazing song, but rape and violence is not kawaii. i love this song and i love diru, but those who see this as cute need a reality check. in my opinion

@SpicyMarmelade Even if the original name is Tsumi to Batsu (crime and punishment), Mitsu to Tsuba (honey and saliva) is correct too, because in the CD, the kanji of the song is inverted.
bullshit luna sea bitch id defend ur comment except for the fact that after vulgar dir en grey totally sucked. not to mention dir en grey fans these days are among the most annoying ppl you''l ever meet they dont know fuck about vk
@kmfdm5 They simply started evolving into something different. You'd be complaining after a couple albums of them sounding the same, had they not changed. And who cares who likes them. If you only like bands just because of the people that like them you are sad. Yes some of the fans are sad and annoying but it's the lyrics and the music that make a point. If you don't like them then don't listen and leave your b.s. comments to yourself.
@bigfatpanda57 yeah except dir en grey wasnt repeptive with every they were fine with what they were doing and i was simply commenting about the fans kinda sucki8ng thats with any band u asshole i didnt say fans make or break the genre i was just making idle chit chat and looks like ur the one who needs to keep ur bullshit to yourself i left that comment over 2 months if ur trying to start an intellectual battle over youtube your only proving ur stupidity even more
@kmfdm5 Well sorry! Just seems to me that the only reasons you gave were sucking and the fans. Maybe if you had worded it better I would have understood you the first time. I was merely defending the music. True I do prefer Vulgar over Uroboros, but I still like where they are going. I'm not trying to start an intellectual battle or anything I'm just tired of people being stupid over Dir en Grey. I just thought you were one of them. I apologize now that I understand what you meant.
I was singing this at school, and a couple people around me were like "What are you even saying?!" and i told them, and they were like O_O lmao. but yeah, funny moment, but this song makes me think how messed up the world is :\
agreed. and i think some of the people calling them cute are kinda new fans because i even used to think that way but the more i got into them the more i realized that i was just being dumb and concentrating more on their appearance and less on the music.
kyo has a way with words...mitsu to tsuba(honey and saliva)...but when switched around to tsumi to batsu its completely different(crime and punishment)
I love this song. I love this band. I miss when their hair was this awesome though.\ I ADORE DIE. ever second. even when he does look like he does now ;D
This... is cute? ._. So yeah, rape is motherfucking adorable, a woman losing violently and degradingly her dignity just because some bastard wanted to get laid. Yeah, that's cuter than a puppy and kitty trying to fit into one shoe.
@Godiva008 I wouldnt say the video is cute but the cloths and hair are amazing. Some of its cute. However. The Music is amazing and the videos are even more wicked. If you have a problem with this gtfo otherwise we dont care about our opinion
@LayneSykora I'm not hating the band. I love them. I actually appreciate that they sing about this subject. I'm actually hating on all the fan girls that go: "Lol this is so cuuuute!!1!!11! Kyo looks so kawaii desu~!!!"
@Godiva008 "because some bastadt wanted to get laid" you know that rape is all about feeling strong, it has actually little to do with wanting to get laid.
@Jehendos I believe that in over a course of a year I realised that. XD I realised a long time ago that rape is more violence than sex. The only sex involved in rape is when the aggressor forces his victim into sexual intercourse.
@Godiva008 ohh im sry, i missread the comment, i thought u were one of those new fans that get all creeped out by it. by i see what u mean now. sorry about that :]
Aww dont be like that XD I do have a diffrent taste :O but this song is a little to much for me being a christian an all. I left that other comment 3 months ago when i was just getting into visual kei or gothic jrock (what ever the hell u call this)so i really shouldnt have called them physco (even though it is the logical word for what they're singing about :/ ) Though i still am not a big fan of them(yes i still think theyre scary) "Kodou" and "Umbrella" are the only 2 songs i like by them.
Hmm..Whatever dude. Everybody has their different opinions. Im just saying rape isn't funny or cute..or hot (unless u soo want it). It wasn't the costumes that mad me scared, it was the english lyrics. A older guy raping a 14 year old girl is no laughing matter =O Its icky
Most people are laughing at their style of dress, or calling the band members cute.
The lyrical content is far from cute or funny, no, they're just glimpses of problems people face everyday, real life, every 2 minutes a woman is sexually assaulted.
It's not just women who are assaulted. It's everyone. Children, men and women. Did you know there is a group of people in Columbia where very often groups of women gang rape men. I know, sounds crazy!
holy crap thats creepy......ha...my friend cried when she read the lyrics for this...i laughed. but its still kindof upsetting how much rape there is (especially in japan) D:
How can you be scared by such a beautiful PV? When I first discovered Diru, I was 13. And the song and PV that attracted me were Obscure, the uncut version. Now, I'm in love with everything about them.
But, then again, I gues everyone has different tastes.
When I said "..and...Im 14.." I was making the connection between my age in the fact they were singing about raping somebody my age. Im all right with Dir en grey and all, but I still don't like this song because of the lyrics.
@kawaiimune exact..EXACT same thing with me lmao first dir en grey pv I saw was obscure when i was 12 and i thought it was awesome and now i love the whole band
Damn they were high maintenance back then.
