Shinya is so cute! Every time i go see them live, i 'm always enthralled by his passion shown in his drumming <3 Even though he's so skinny and light, he's the healthiest and probably strongest out of the whole band. dat muscle <3
ooh my God! he is so adorable Where I work there is a guy that looks a lot like Shinya; and I just can't help it to remember Shinya every time I see this guy. He is tall and skinny like Shinya, his features look like Shinya's, he has that quiet voice, I super hard to make him smile, and talk, and the awesome thing about this guy is, that he has long straight hair, and he always pulls it back in a pony tail.
shinya is like the last resort for all the VK fangirls who love the band bc of its good looking members and not the music (as usual in VK). poor thing that art is so damaged today. i mean dir en grey really don't deserve that kind of view on them.
still he's a cool guy.. interview in a toilet that's how a metal festival has to be :D
omg..that smile at the end was so precious!! It always amazes me to see Dir en Grey in interviews...on stage they're full metal rockstars..but then you see them in interviews and they have the sweetest dispositions and it just radiates from their eyes and mannerisms. I think that's why I really love this band.
@KittyCat7860 I know! When I was first exposed to Dir en Grey, I thought that they were too hardcore for me. After, I saw this interview with Shinya, I thought, "How could someone so sweet be in a band like Dir en Grey?" Several months later, I gave Dir en Grey another chance, and I am glad that I did. I listen to them all the time, and I think that they are a great band. It's like you said, on stage they are rockstars, but during interviews, they have a totally different air to them.
@mistressvader88 Yeah, Dir en Grey is STILL a little too hardcore for me. I'm glad though that Kyo has stopped cutting himself on stage..I don't listen to their music that much and the only album I really love by them is Withering to Death. But, I still love this band..I just don't love the music as much as I love them. LOL
how can anyone hate Shinya??? what's he ever done to them??? I'm not gay or anything but I agree with every other person who said they would lock the toilet door and not let him out :)
THIS IS SO RARE! i met him few days ago....he was pretty emotionless....maybe i scared him :( Oh well, he's my least fav. to begin with......but I have to admit I don't want someone esle to replace him as drummer!
as much of how a big VK and JROCK fan I am. I like the old Dir en grey more. Yokan was simply amazing, Shinya made the song while Kyo wrote the lyrics. The new Dir en grey, they're like, HEAVY METAL WANNABES ever since they toured with SlipKnoT. SlipKnoT should have picked a better band to tour with like UnsraW or VanessA. Dir en grey seems too slow and a lil boring to tour with SlipKnoT, and why must D.e.g. perform Obscure all the time, they should perform the old ZAN
@magma3000 umm they have never toured with Slipknot. They did an interview together in MTV Japan but that's it. And don't worry they only perofrm "old" songs for their Japanese fans. Although they have played Akuro no oka, schwein no isu, kigan, bottom of the death valley and a couple of old songs in the US.
@arsinen21 no Dir en grey have performed live with SlipKnoT before. I can't send you the link of the video of them performing with SlipKnoT because Youtube seems weird now.
I rather go to the 2008 Taste of Chaos Tour when the UNDERNEATH, MUCC, and D'espairsRay toured with Bullet for My Vallentine, BLESSTHEFALL, and AVENGED SEVENFOLD
Dir en grey was heavy before they toured with shitnot and their dead bassist. Dir en grey was a band before shitnot and have you heard their music at all? Slow and boring? You are a weeaboo vk faggot that knows shit about music. Hageshisa to kono mune no naka de karamitsuita shakunetsu no yami and the Zan remix is by far the heaviest music made to date and destroys unsraw. Have you even heard deg lately? They perform tons of songs you ignorant waste of life.
@ugqx if Dir en grey thinks that they're the shit, then how come they haven't done a drum solo like Shou from UnsraW. If they're so amazing then why haven't I heard amazing double bass pedals in any of their songs, DEATHGAZE's drummer is amazing like their song abyss. The only song when I actually heard double bass pedal by Dir en grey is just Red Soil.
LOLOLOLOLLO have you even heard the whole uroboros album? Listen to Uroboros. He rapes deathgazes drummer up the ass. There is a reason why people know dir en grey and why people dont give a fuck about deathgaze.
@ugqx how does the drumming in toguro beat DEATHGAZE's song abyss?!?!?!
toguro sounded too boring, that was a waste of 3 minutes of my life. You should have told me to listen to old Dir en grey then that would have been worth some minutes listening to
your just an oldfag. Dir en grey's skill demolishes any skill that deathgaze may have. I was just naming three softer songs since you despise screaming. Why even listen to dir en grey? You like talentless unoriginal shit bands so just stop trolling and go back to your vk faggots. Dir en grey is just going to get heavier and heavier so stop now before you actually realize that they have good music and become a fan.
@ugqx softer songs? you forgot yokan by Dir en grey in their album GAUZE. Dir en grey is too boring, go and listen to underground VK bands like lynch. THE PIASS or VanessA. If Dir en grey is so skilled then why can't they do a guitar solo like Takayuki from THE PIASS.
face it, you're the one losing because the loser is the first to throw insults. I bet that you only like dir en grey cause of Kyo. such a pity that Dir en grey went from "KAWAII" to shit music with random screams
@ugqx the fuck you talking about? You're too close minded. SlipKnoT started first, they formed in 1990 as an underground band in Des Moines, Iowa then at 1995 they finally have record deal with Roadrunners. you don't know how much shit SlipKnoT had to go through when they started, while Dir en grey on the other hand started like the song Yokan just to attract fan girls because fan girls are more than fan boys.While Dir en grey formed in 1998 or 96
You're a dumbass. Shitknots current lineup (minus the dead bassist) formed in 1999. They are a joke, nobody takes their emo lyrics seriously and their lead singer has no vocal capabilities. Dir en grey, kawaii? You fucking weeaboo faggot. Dir en grey has always had dark, taboo lyrics. They just played softer music because that is what was popular in 1997. Dir en grey started with byo shin and they formed in 1994 as la sadies.Dir en grey = 1997 shitnok=1999 deal with it.
because in akuro no oka he uses the full neck. Yokan is a simple song and it is also my favorite, but it doesn't show the bands full talent like Vinushka does. If dir en grey is too heavy or experimental for you, go listen to your visual kei faggot bands that don't have a singer like kyo. No other band is this original, and uroboros was praised by critics. If you don't like them, it doesnlt mean they are bad, it just means that you are wrong.
Dir en grey does not need to play fast speed metal solo's. The only bands that do that don't have good enough songwriting ability so they need to impress people with fast playing. Dir en grey is too good for that. They play what feels right in the song.
@ugqx which is why they sound boring. a JROCK band that has extreme talent would be THE PIASS. So, the Visual Kei band Nega makes slow songs but with guitar solos.
Dir en grey is too good for that? Ok, if they're so good, then why do they lose to fast speed metal bands on the KEERANG website. FYI, you can go vote for Dir en grey right now for Best Outside International Band
lol britfags that know about kerrang dont know about dir en grey. Obviously the voting will be plagued by western bias. Look at the professional reviews of uroboros. It destroys any other album since its release. No band can top it. And the piass sound like shit. They have no money for decent equipment just like any other underground shitty vk band. Dir en grey is original. All of those fags look the same. Dir en grey is the most popular metal band in all of Asia.
@ugqx really? THE PIASS are fast at drumming better than Shinya. any bassist that sign up for THE PIASS are amazing and THE PIASS actually have BASS SOLOS unlike Toshiya have you heard a bass solo from Toshiya. Takayuki plays amazing guitar solos better than Die. Any singer for THE PIASS can actually scream better than Kyo.
anyways, what PIASS song did you even listen to, you can't say they sound like shit without listening to the entire song.
Explain why did GACKT win awards for REDEMPTION - EP in KOREA and JAPAN. Explain why BUCK-TICK is still more famous than other jrock and vk bands even though BUCK-TICK is a 20 year old band. EXPLAIN WHY DO ALOT OF GIRLS PREFER MIYAVI THAN KYO!!!!!
THOSE AREN'T METAL BANDS YOU IGNORANT MOTHERFUCKER!!! Luna Sea is far more famous than buck tick. They are the most famous Jpop while Dir en grey is the most famous metal band in Asia. That includes russia and all surrounding countries. Miyavi is an ugly 6'2 korean faggot that attracts fangirls with heavy use of makeup. He looks like every other gook without it. Kyo on the other hand looks far better than him and has always had a better body and he is like 7 years older.
@ugqx wow you stupid ass licking cunt pussy ass motherfucker. you closed your account because you know I was winning against you and you didn't want to face how boring Dir en grey is when they toured with SlipKnoT.
I would like to thank to all Dir en grey for their great music and the great shows they performance, specially to Shinya, since he's always kind and nice with fans Thanks very much!!!
This is one of my favourite interviews with Dir en Grey because she didn't ask all the same questions as other interviewers like, "How are these fans compared to japanese fans?" etc... She asked cool questions like the kit one. Shinya's a beast
people need to quit judging shinya...it's lame...who cares what he likes to do behind closed doors...and who cares if he preffers women...or men...i think he is an amazingly humble person...who enjoys life, his work and his fans...he is super talented and i have major love for the man...and the rest of Dir en Grey
As I'm watching this I'm thinking to myself god I'd love to touch him.... But then I'm like wtf I've hugged him. God I hate my retard moments. But he looks good.
look at his face at 1:02 to 1:04 LOL he's like "do i really have to be here talking to u in a bathroom seriously" poor shin-chan xD lol i love how he is pretending to listen i found that humorous lol :D
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm bisexual so I can almost see through this, because I also like dudes with a little bit of feminine beauty, but it's crossing the fucking line when you actually TALK like a girl.
Trust me, he doesn't have time for shit like that. Also I doubt he would fuck his annoying ass screaming fangirls. And I doubt he's bisexual like most jrockers, where girls actually gave a chance. Just listen to him and look at how he acts. He aint interested in girls.
Not dissing him, because I love his drummer skills, but for fuck sake. Look at how Kyo or Die/Toshiya act/talk, they're not gay.
I was trying to make a point. I've seen Die, Kyo and Toshiya with girls because they are players. Shinya has Miyuchan and his drum set thats all he needs. I don't know where you heard that most jrockers are bisexual. Thats probably untrue. This is the way alot of men act in japan. Girls want to see the femenine side of men. For all we know, shinya could be a club host XD.
@Athaleth I know where ur coming from, but I don't necessarily mean overly manly homophobes. Nothing about Shinya's visual appearance in THIS video says gay, only the way he talks.
I just think he's fucking sexy, but he talks like a fucking girl. That's just not .... awesome.
@Sw33tSm0k3 his voice is more smooth and light then the other band members cuz hes the only 1 of the band that doesnt smoke..do that clear the air 4 everybody?
@kaybrin1 Not rly. I don't smoke (except for pot from time to time), and I don't have that light voice... Also there's a difference between just a light voice and a voice that sounds like a girl voice..
@Sw33tSm0k3 he doesn't talk like a girl... :/ japanese men have more estrogen than like american/euro men, so sometimes they have "lighter" voices... listen to some japanese girl after this and he'll sound totally manly!
i was too distracted by die for a while, but lately i'm realizing how crazy hot shinya is *_*
@spacekoalalove more like listen to all the other members in Dir En Grey, THEY sound like proper dudes. what do u mean most japanese men have more estrogen then europeans (americans are europeans)??? is this just ur personal assumption or what?=S
japanese males are MALES, they have testosterone just like any other dude.
@Sw33tSm0k3 i didn't say japanese men don't have testosterone, just that they have more estrogen than other men... i know i've read that somewhere, and just have noticed that some japanese men have higher, more "boyish" voices.. and i know you've noticed most asian men don't even have facial hair! but anyway yo shinya is really hot :)
@spacekoalalove uhhh, they do have facial hair, they just wax or shave it=/ I got facial hair, but when I'm fully shaved it's 100% unnoticable. Are u telling me I'm a girl and that I have estrogen?=S Asians just aren't hairy, but they do have facial hair cmon, who are u kidding.
also, u said SOME japanese men have high voices? A LOT of japanese males have deep badass voices...
The Lovely Shinya From Dir en Grey XD He Just Looks Shy And Nervous And Mean At The Same Time Cuz She Looked At Him When She Said That OMG!! Shinya </3
@Tummyboxx he makes eye contact with the interviewer when she asks him questions, but he doesn't when he's replying cause he's not replying to her but to the interpreter
i wonder how it felt to be pulled in to a bathroom to get an interview? especially for Shinya, knowing how shy he can be lol! knowing me i wouldn't get over the fact that i'm in a bathroom with two girls and a camera and id be giggly the whole time. ^-^ [if i where a boy of course]
He's Japanese. Something about Asian people's genetics make them turn out being shorter than the average male. But damn if I were to meet Kyo, I'd have to look down. Only 5'3" and I'm 6'1".
It'd be nice for me to meet Kyo because I wouldn't have to look up like I have to with most guys. I'm actually shorter than him by like an inch. It was depressing when all my guy friends shot past me and now they're all at least a head taller than me. >.> Curse of being asian right here.
i wouldn't say 5'7 is short and i wouldn't say its tall.. depending on the race the averages differ..Then again humans are getting taller due to better nutrition as a child.
he looks . . i dunno . fragile ?

anyways, what PIASS song did you even listen to, you can't say they sound like shit without listening to the entire song.

@ugqx oh really? OH REALLY?!?!??!!
MOST FAMOUS "METAL" BAND IN ASIA!?!?!?
Explain why did GACKT win awards for REDEMPTION - EP in KOREA and JAPAN. Explain why BUCK-TICK is still more famous than other jrock and vk bands even though BUCK-TICK is a 20 year old band. EXPLAIN WHY DO ALOT OF GIRLS PREFER MIYAVI THAN KYO!!!!!
magma3000 1 year ago
@magma3000
THOSE AREN'T METAL BANDS YOU IGNORANT MOTHERFUCKER!!! Luna Sea is far more famous than buck tick. They are the most famous Jpop while Dir en grey is the most famous metal band in Asia. That includes russia and all surrounding countries. Miyavi is an ugly 6'2 korean faggot that attracts fangirls with heavy use of makeup. He looks like every other gook without it. Kyo on the other hand looks far better than him and has always had a better body and he is like 7 years older.
ugqx 1 year ago
@ugqx what the fuck? Dir en grey being heavy metal. they're too soft for heavy metal.
really Luna Sea is more popualr than BUCK-TICK, then why did BUCK-TICK's singer get to be in a movie then, why is BUCK-TICK still around since 1980.

It is because things to eat are different.
They eat various things.
When the European and American people are over 15 years old, a body grows big,It is result to eat meat.
However, it is the face which many people were tired from when they are older than 35 years old because they do not have a custom to train.

I'm bisexual so I can almost see through this, because I also like dudes with a little bit of feminine beauty, but it's crossing the fucking line when you actually TALK like a girl.
He's supposed to act like the dude he is=D
Sw33tSm0k3 2 years ago
I bet he gets laid.... alot. By hot girls. He is sexy, and has lots of money.
kzundiverus 2 years ago
Trust me, he doesn't have time for shit like that. Also I doubt he would fuck his annoying ass screaming fangirls. And I doubt he's bisexual like most jrockers, where girls actually gave a chance. Just listen to him and look at how he acts. He aint interested in girls.
Not dissing him, because I love his drummer skills, but for fuck sake. Look at how Kyo or Die/Toshiya act/talk, they're not gay.
Sw33tSm0k3 2 years ago
I was trying to make a point. I've seen Die, Kyo and Toshiya with girls because they are players. Shinya has Miyuchan and his drum set thats all he needs. I don't know where you heard that most jrockers are bisexual. Thats probably untrue. This is the way alot of men act in japan. Girls want to see the femenine side of men. For all we know, shinya could be a club host XD.

@Sw33tSm0k3 he doesn't talk like a girl... :/ japanese men have more estrogen than like american/euro men, so sometimes they have "lighter" voices... listen to some japanese girl after this and he'll sound totally manly!
i was too distracted by die for a while, but lately i'm realizing how crazy hot shinya is *_*
spacekoalalove 1 year ago
@spacekoalalove more like listen to all the other members in Dir En Grey, THEY sound like proper dudes. what do u mean most japanese men have more estrogen then europeans (americans are europeans)??? is this just ur personal assumption or what?=S
japanese males are MALES, they have testosterone just like any other dude.
Male gender ftw.
Sw33tSm0k3 1 year ago
@Sw33tSm0k3 i didn't say japanese men don't have testosterone, just that they have more estrogen than other men... i know i've read that somewhere, and just have noticed that some japanese men have higher, more "boyish" voices.. and i know you've noticed most asian men don't even have facial hair! but anyway yo shinya is really hot :)
spacekoalalove 1 year ago
@spacekoalalove uhhh, they do have facial hair, they just wax or shave it=/ I got facial hair, but when I'm fully shaved it's 100% unnoticable. Are u telling me I'm a girl and that I have estrogen?=S Asians just aren't hairy, but they do have facial hair cmon, who are u kidding.
also, u said SOME japanese men have high voices? A LOT of japanese males have deep badass voices...

He's Japanese. Something about Asian people's genetics make them turn out being shorter than the average male. But damn if I were to meet Kyo, I'd have to look down. Only 5'3" and I'm 6'1".

It'd be nice for me to meet Kyo because I wouldn't have to look up like I have to with most guys. I'm actually shorter than him by like an inch. It was depressing when all my guy friends shot past me and now they're all at least a head taller than me. >.> Curse of being asian right here.
waterdolphin777 2 years ago
i wouldn't say 5'7 is short and i wouldn't say its tall.. depending on the race the averages differ..Then again humans are getting taller due to better nutrition as a child.
