♥Melt Your Heart♥~ The Official Kaya Thread.
 

I know there's a few Kaya fans lurking around here, so I decided to make this thread.

INFO
Kaya's career began in 1999 as vocalist, under the name Hime. After his first band disbanded Hime joined ISOLA as vocalist and lyricist. They released a demo tape called Over... and a two track single called Egoiste Butterfly.

In 2001, he met keyboardist Hora at a concert of his band Velvet Eden, and together they formed Rudolf Steiner. Unlike most Visual Kei bands their music was completely electronic. The band released two demo tapes, in which their unique style attracted the attention of Mana, who signed them to his independent label, Midi:Nette, and changed their name to Schwarz Stein. Around the same time, Hime changed his name to Kaya. They then released two singles, Queen of Decadence and Current, as well as two albums, New Vogue Children and Artificial Halluciation, but in 2004 split up due to artistic differences.

Kaya and Hora remained on friendly terms. In April 2006, they once again collaborated on a one-off project called ANOTHER CELL and released a self-titled album, for which Hora wrote the music and Kaya most of the lyrics. Apart from brand new compositions, it also featured re-arranged versions of songs by Rudolf Steiner. In June 2006, ANOTHER CELL was performed live as part of Kaya's first concert as a solo artist. The concert was limited to 400 tickets, which sold out on the first day.

The following month saw the release of his first solo single, Kaleidoscope, followed in September by a second single, Masquerade. In December, he released his debut album, Glitter, and appeared at Kamijo's (Versailles) and Kanoma's (ex Fatima) three day Winter Romantic festival, together with bands such as Wizard, UnsraW, HIZAKI grace project and Sugar.

In February 2007 he had his first one man concert at Shibuya O-West and in April, he released his single Ouka Ryouran. In July he released the mini album Hyakkiyakou and a fourth single, Carmilla, followed on Halloween. He also starred as one of the protagonists alongside Sherow Artist Society musicians Kamijo, HIZAKI (Versailles, HIZAKI grace project), and Juka (ex-Moi dix Mois) in the rock musical Node of Scherzo.

Isn't Chocolat an amazing single~ Chocolat is such a wonderful song and the beat is terrific, and then coupled with POURRITURE NOBLE just makes it wonderful.

what a lonely thread.

i havent realky had much chance to look into him (i dont have a comp right now), but ive been trying to keep an eye on him since i stumbled across some schwarz stein stuff on youtube a while back.

do you know of a streaming site for some of his newer stuff? like, youtube links or something?

~ayu-cake~ 5th May 2008 09:30 AM

I love Chocolat so much!!
I'm so in love with the song, it's so great to sing to XD

He's stunning as well :)

Sakura_Genki 5th May 2008 07:54 PM

XD True, True~
I sing along to Chocolat so much. According to my Last.fm It's already in my top 10 most played.

I hope we get a full length PV too~ I love the dancing in the 'preview' and the two guys with him are very handsome.

I'm also thrilled about the re-recording of Glitter, since it's one of m favourite albums.

Wah~a thread of Kaya! Awesome, thanks for creating one Sakura_Genki!:D

????
A re-recording of the Glitter album?

Sakura_Genki 12th May 2008 05:15 AM

XD Kaya's so flamboyantly gay sometimes it's adorable, but apparantely at his meet and greet he's very easy to approach and talks a lot; and looks as pretty as he does in his pictures.

Yeah, I think he's just going to spruce it up some more, although I loved Glitter anyway. Maybe it's 'Cause he's using his higher voice more. I'd rather have a new album than a re-mastered one.

Maybe with the re-mastered Glitter we could get the full Chocolat PV? 'Cause when he played it at his live he introduced it as a preview so there just has to be more. I'd be disappointed if it just left like that.

Really? The text took me ages to do 'Cause nothing ever seemed to fit.

Miku 12th May 2008 10:09 PM

this thread is beautiful *____*
love Kaya ... love Glitter.. Glitter Arch and Ryoran is my favorite songs..
and the scans are beautiful ^ ^ *saves them*

[kokoro♥] 12th May 2008 10:15 PM

Kaya looks more European to me than he does asian @__@ *pets him*

Sakura_Genki 12th May 2008 10:36 PM

XD He does, doesn't he, maybe it's the way he does his make-up?

Aristocrat_Drug 13th May 2008 01:34 PM

Before I stae my opinions and such on Kaya. I want to say that i was one of the leaders in the Kaya thread on Gaia XD so ehh, ive stated my adoration and fandom before. Ive cosplayed as Carmilla Kaya and ill be doing Chocolat Kaya next (Damn hima nd his beautiful costumes) Ive followed him since the days of Schwarz Stein and Midi:nette. Ive kept up with both Hora and Kaya. I happen to like Kaya more. I adore this man. His music just makes me so happy and his lyrics are wonderfully inspirational.

I hope he never changes and continues to make music :3

I also want his babies. XD

Sakura_Genki 14th May 2008 04:04 PM

^ I'd love to see pictures of your cosplays! They sound wonderful~ The Chocolat one would be amazing to see.

I've followed Kaya since Schwarz Stein too~ I remember the day Mana announced he was working with them. I was like ZOMG *Spaz* I'm sure Kaya will stay in music, just like Mana will.

Aristocrat_Drug 14th May 2008 09:56 PM

Yes, I do hope so. I love Kaya sooo much! He needs to come here like NAO.
Oh, and this is the best picture of my Carmilla Kaya cosplay .__.;;; yes posting more crappy cosplay pictures, I already offered myself in the Ayumi Cosplay thread. XD

That's awesome! Love it :D

Off Topic:
May I ask, who is that in your SIG?


Oh, just wanted to say that I love Kaya's song titled ' Rose Jail' I thought it was rather interesting when he suddenly began screaming and hurt my ears :laugh

Sakura_Genki 18th May 2008 11:07 PM

That's a really nice Cosplay GoddessRaven~ The dress looks very much alike the Carmilla dress. It's wonderful!

Thank you Dreamwriter, that Wallpaper is so gorgeous!

XD I thought that when I first heard Rose Jail, but now it's one of my favourites. It'll never top Masquerade though.

AyUta 18th May 2008 11:10 PM

^ I liked both the original and the remix of Masquerade o.o

Oh, and the last song on his Glitter album, it's really different than his other stuff. At first I didn't even think it was him!

Aristocrat_Drug 18th May 2008 11:26 PM

Thank you dear. I tried, asside from the hair and some minor details the dress is nearly alike XD I like to take creative justice to some things :3

If you haven't guessed already Carmilla is my favroite song then Oka comes in second...ahhh so beautiful!

Sakura_Genki 18th May 2008 11:41 PM

You did very well GoddessRaven. I haven't seen many Kaya cosplays/cosplayers~

Both versions are nice, although I must admit that I don't notice many differences when I listen to the -Fabulous night mix- version. You mean Hydrangea? I think it's wonderful. I love when he tries out all these different sounds.

Actually i've only seen Schwarz Stein cosplays not Solo Kaya anywhere I am the first to make the Carmilla dress as far as I know :3

Sakura_Genki 18th May 2008 11:50 PM

Yeah, I've seen Schwarz Stein Kaya cosplays too~

Translated Chocolat Lyrics
Spoiler:

The thorns in my heart start to come undone
Hold me tightly
So they'll sweetly melt away

In sleepless nights
A neverending dream and sweet wine
My scars had begun to fade
I'll lift my glass to a bitter past
And bid it goodbye

Crossing over the nights I cursed everything
I've found [the place where I belong]

melt my heart
The thorns in my heart start to come undone
Hold me tightly
So they'll sweetly melt away
melt your heart
Let them jeer; I won't mind
So whatever you do please
Don't take your clasped hand from mine

The self-denial I keep repeating
As if it were my trademark
All I ever wanted
was to hear the single phrase [I need you]

Let's live in intoxication forevermore
In a love like sweetly fragrant chocolate

melt my heart
The thorns in my heart start to come undone
Hold me tightly
So they'll sweetly melt away
melt your heart
Let them jeer; I won't mind
So whatever you do please
Don't take your clasped hand from mine


Translated Pourriture Noble Lyrics
Spoiler:

Heated by lies
Humid with lies
They reign in this secret rose room

At the depth of a dream
As it sweetly degrades

Here lies a world of our own
A beautifully rotting hallucination
Senses slipping gently to paralization

I'll bind your throat with silken thread
So you can't escape again
And stamp you with a rosemark brand, I'll raise you
In a garden that silently breaks

Just say the words and
I'll become a flower
I'll become a bird
A doll too
I'll even become a ***** for you

So don't let your eyes stray
Don't speak
Don't move
Live only for me

And don't go anywhere
Kneel down; kiss me
Swear eternity upon this rose
A toast to this love
Only I am reality!

It beautifully corrodes
l'amour

I'll bind your throat with silken thread
So you can't escape again
And stamp you with a rosemark brand, I'll raise you
In a garden that silently breaks

We'll sink deep down
Hands bound in thorns
Murmuring love with rose-red lips

For overly-ripened sins
Will turn to honey

Affection saturates
Mon amour


Thanks to Rose Addict

AyUta 18th May 2008 11:56 PM

Hey those are awesome :luv2! Thanx so much!!! I might be using those later :cool. Oh and btw, does anyone know if Kaya writes his lyrics?

Sakura_Genki 26th May 2008 09:09 PM

I think Kaya writes all his own lyrics~

Information about the re-release/renewing of Glitter. It'll come with one new song and in two editions, regular and limited. Limited edition comes with a "Little Boy Kaya" jacket and the regular edition comes with a "Little Girl Kaya" jacket and they both come with a poster and photobook with rare photos of Kaya. It's described as a "Compilation of sold-out items from Kaya's indies era including the hit release "Glitter" and various previously released single tracks."

You can pre-order it from CDJapan, if you want the bonuses. Other sites like YesAsia wont offer these.

Regular Edition
Limited Edition

I really want to see the covers. I loved the cover for Glitter. It was gorgeous.

The tracklist is said to be:
1. Carmilla
2. Walküre
3. Paradise Lost
4. Funerary Dream
5. Psycho Butterfly
6. Masquerade
7. Epicurean
8. Silvery Dark
9. 火車 (Kasha)
10. Rose Jail
11. Glitter Arch
12. Hydrangea

But I'm not sure if it's correct or not so please don't regard it as the finished listing 'Cause changes may occur or it might be wrong.

Thanks to: Hannya

CHE.R.RY 26th May 2008 10:38 PM

Wow...I really wanna pre-order it o.o! Thanx for the info.

AyUta 27th May 2008 12:20 AM

Awesome. Kaya is love <3 I'm so in love with his music now. I seen Kaya at the FanimeCon today! :luv2 Well, big posters of him!

CHE.R.RY 27th May 2008 02:25 AM

^ Gah! I know I love his 'Glitter' album! I haven't gotten to his other stuff yet but I just love his music so far. The re-release should be interesting too.

AyUta 30th May 2008 05:36 AM

Now that I think of it....does Kaya have any lives? So far I only found one and it was of him singing 'Kugutsu'.

Sakura_Genki 30th May 2008 02:59 PM

Well he has a live DVD being released soon but I'm not sure about any other lives.

AyUta 30th May 2008 03:57 PM

^ Yeah, it seems like he doesn't like to reveal much about himself. Reminds me of Rurutia, she's the same way. I'd love to buy his live DVD^^

Aristocrat_Drug 30th May 2008 10:59 PM

Well, there is currently no live footage of Schwarz Stein either....unless it's terribly bootlegged, even then I haven't found a bootleg, says it dones't exist on scape. Now that Kaya is on a major label we should expect more from him on lives and things like that.

AyUta 31st May 2008 09:50 PM

^ Hopefully :yes I'd love to see more lives from him. Have you guys seen 'Kugutsu' live?
If not, here it is:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qQDa5En2CdU

He did an amazing job and it's one of my favorite songs *_*

Aristocrat_Drug 31st May 2008 10:57 PM

Yeah, I have it :P

:)

AyUta 1st June 2008 01:45 AM

^ I loved it ^_^
It kind of reminded me of Utada's Devil Inside live during her previous tour, except a little more scarier x.x;

Lawl. Took the words right out of my mouth!

[kokoro♥] 1st June 2008 10:34 AM

I love the original glitters covers so much x3 so elegant and pretty.

But I cant wait to see Kayas photographs under the new company's photographers.

I don't really like how everyone under mana's label has "grungy" photos x_x

AyUta 1st June 2008 06:56 PM

^ I want to see the new ones too. :) Really bad :laugh
And then hopefully more publicity for Kaya.

Sakura_Genki 1st June 2008 07:11 PM

Kaya wasn't under Midi:nette in his solo career was he? Just when he was in Schwarz Stein. There are only three bands under Midi:Nette, MALICE MIZER, Moi dix Mois and Schwarz stein, and two are disbanded.

I like the idea of the little boy and girl Kaya 'Cause Kaya can pull off great looks for either gender.

Has anyone seen this picture before? I heard that it was a new picture but I have no idea.

AyUta 1st June 2008 09:27 PM

^ Not bad :luv2
I like the idea of both too.

No, under a solo lable he was under Sherow artists, Midi:nette was only Schwarz Stein. The demos he made with Hora weren't Midi either btw :) (only two demos and Isola was another band)

It's obvious in that picture Kaya wants Gackt's babies ;P When I saw it I was like "WTF where in the seven hells did this picture come from?" haha I laughed when someone finally explained it to me. He should dress more like a man sometimes too...ill cry if he wears pants like Mana does .__. Mana like makes me cry because he likes pants now I hardly ever seen him in dresses anymore! Look in the latest issues of GLB ;___; Kaya better not start doing it too!

That picture...someone explained to me that it came with the 'Chocolat' single I believe or one of his cds... that was one of the pictures along with like three other 'common' pictues of him ;) I think, this exmaple is best put with Ayumi Hamasaki's "My stor" album where she had like three covers...or something...only Kaya has pictures in his cd case not a different album cover.

Aristocrat_Drug 3rd June 2008 09:19 PM

Lawl, my friend just ordered glitter for me! ^0^ I'm getting the regular edition and she's getting the limited. Thye both come with photo books? And I assume the poster is the same....correct me if i'm wrong ne?

Sakura_Genki 5th June 2008 03:40 PM

^ Lucky!

And thanks for explaining the picture~ I think he looks gorgeous.

I think as Mana gets older he gets more and more into wearing trousers; plus he has his male side of Moi-même-Moitié to promote. His red wigs been getting better and better lately. XD I could never stand it when he wore it in GLB.

They both come with Photobooks and a poster says CDJapan.

Yum! :3

No problem! Either way...MANA + PANTS = NO T___T I do understand the male aspect to moite. Bleh...that does make sense. Haha.

It's obvious in that picture Kaya wants Gackt's babies ;P When I saw it I was like "WTF where in the seven hells did this picture come from?" haha I laughed when someone finally explained it to me. He should dress more like a man sometimes too...ill cry if he wears pants like Mana does .__. Mana like makes me cry because he likes pants now I hardly ever seen him in dresses anymore! Look in the latest issues of GLB ;___; Kaya better not start doing it too!

That picture...someone explained to me that it came with the 'Chocolat' single I believe or one of his cds... that was one of the pictures along with like three other 'common' pictues of him ;) I think, this exmaple is best put with Ayumi Hamasaki's "My stor" album where she had like three covers...or something...only Kaya has pictures in his cd case not a different album cover.

As much as I think Kaya makes a beautiful woman, I would love to see him wear pants every now and then. He seems like he's really hot as a guy :P!

Aristocrat_Drug 7th June 2008 08:30 AM

Hahah I think Kaya looks good in pants, I was minaly ranting about Mana is anything T_T Kaya makes a HAWT man T_T oh gawd SEE:

Is this the performance that's being released on DVD? It says DVD near the end of the article scan, and the DVD is called Salon de Chocolat.

Sakura_Genki 12th June 2008 03:19 AM

Sorry for the double post~

It's been announced that there will be a Kaya one man live on the 3rd of August in Nagoya called 「GLITTER-The Glittering Fits-」

And the dress code for this one is, of course, glitter!

I love the dress codes. XD I loved the one for his Valentine's day live; roses.

CHE.R.RY 12th June 2008 03:21 AM

^ Wow that'll be awesome! I'll hopefully get around to watching it eventually. I'd love to see more lives from Kaya :luv2!

AyUta 12th June 2008 10:32 PM

That would definitely be interesting. I want to see my Kaya live and hear his amazing vocals XDD

Sakura_Genki 13th June 2008 01:56 PM

I can't wait for this live DVD, I'm definetly geting it~ I love seeing how nice his outfits look live too, he's certainly a very good looking person.

CHE.R.RY 13th June 2008 07:26 PM

^ I would buy it too...if I could fix the region code on my DVD player -___-...So if I'm lucky, hopefully someone will upload it somewhere lol.

Aristocrat_Drug 18th June 2008 01:45 AM

If you buy the re-relasese of Glitter they give you something to mail in the get the DVD for free. HECK YES. I can't wait. Yummy Kaya <3

Luv ~Venus~ 19th June 2008 06:55 PM

Is he and Mana...related? DDD:

Sakura_Genki 19th June 2008 07:12 PM

XDD No~ Mana worked with Kaya and Hora when they were in Schwarz Stein and that's it.

Luv ~Venus~ 19th June 2008 08:25 PM

^Oh! :laugh I was just seeing what Kaya is all about since I have been seeing his name pop up everywhere. lol When I saw he's pic, I immediately though of Mana. lol I'll try Kaya out though.

Sakura_Genki 20th June 2008 06:42 PM

Salon de Chocolat is up for pre-order on CDJapan.
And it comes with a postcard too~

CHE.R.RY 20th June 2008 07:19 PM

^ Oooh a post card. Thanx for the info lol. I wish I could pre-order it. ._.

Aristocrat_Drug 20th June 2008 07:38 PM

Ugh moar goodies? I need to consider it...I doubt my friend would pay for something ELSE for me. DANG. Hahah.

CHE.R.RY 19th July 2008 11:22 PM

Wow, this thread hasn't been replied to in like a month! Well anyways, I really enjoyed the limited edition of Glitter. I love how 'Rose Jail' was even more psycho :D! I also really liked 'funerary dream' :yes.

Aristocrat_Drug 20th July 2008 12:57 AM

It wasn't bad XD I just want my copy to come in so I can have a glorious Kaya poster in my room :) sad thing it probably is here already, but my friend hasn't been on to tell me. Lol.

AyUta 20th July 2008 04:22 AM

I really liked it. The new songs were awesome :D

Aristocrat_Drug 20th July 2008 04:28 AM

I noticed Kaya kept sounding like he was trying to extendhis notes out more than in the orginal mixes. It was a little annoying. Carmilla bothered me XD and that's my fave song T_T

AyUta 20th July 2008 05:00 AM

^ I noticed that too but surprisingly it didn't bother me :no

Aristocrat_Drug 20th July 2008 05:13 AM

It was just annoying...Like he was sick or something so he had to breath in deep to get out his full notes. I don't know how else to explain it other than either he was in a hurry or just wanted to sound like he 'improved' his work more, when it doesn't need to be improved. I do like the extra chorus in Carmilla though, that made me smile...but still I like the single version better.

CHE.R.RY 21st July 2008 05:11 AM

^ Unfortunately, I didn't know 'Carmilla' all that well, so I can't give much of an opinion, but I will say this: in 'Rose Jail', I hated how lazy whe sounded when he sang the 'With all my hurts' :/...

Aristocrat_Drug 21st July 2008 05:19 AM

I haven't actually had time to compare all the tracks. I had time for Carmilla (some others) and Epicurean and that was it. Lol, ill reply back when ive listened to the full thing.

MeruChan 29th August 2008 08:22 AM

em...one question..why does he dress like a woman? is he gay or is it just his style?

Sakura_Genki 29th August 2008 02:04 PM

I've never questioned it. I always thought that's just his style and how he liked to dress.

marcelosama 29th August 2008 02:05 PM

isn't it influenced by traditional japanese theatre?

did you people liked the DVD?

Sakura_Genki 29th August 2008 02:23 PM

Well Hannya says "At the present, he's working towards his goals of starting a revolution in the awareness of beauty and the liberation of sexuality with aesthetics as his main theme. He himself handles everything having to do with song lyrics, CD jacket design, make-up and outfit design, organization of concerts and performances." I don't think he'd look as pretty without his beautiful outfits and make-up.

It's his style, it's how he wants to dress. I think he just likes it, that's like asking Mana why he dresses like a woman. However Kaya has never stated he was gay or straight in any interviews, it could be taken either way. It's chance/chance with any j-artist unless they are dating one another.

Personal lives are pretty hush hush...

AyUta 30th August 2008 02:03 AM

I think Kaya is an awesome person, so talented and he makes a very beautiful woman :laugh

Chandrachan 4th September 2008 05:27 PM

Kaya is very beautifull with a lovely voice
I'd call him a bishounen ^_^

Maybe if he looked like a man which he doesn't 95% of the time, boy Kaya was cute though.

Chandrachan 4th September 2008 05:42 PM

^good point - actually I haven't seen normal Kaya

Kaya has always dressed like a woman. He was more goth back in the day though, he was only seen dressed as a man with the photo card that card with the chocolat cd:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ocolatcard.jpg

and 'little boy Kaya' on the 'glitter' reiussed cd
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...glitter2-1.jpg

As far as I know he could only be doing ti for stage get up. But he's always been a woman.
No SS lives exist to prove other wise, but ive heard he always wore a dress.

I lack SS pictures right now they seem to be obscure to find these days as all the good fan sites shut down.

Chandrachan 5th September 2008 02:58 AM

^ WOW he's soo HOT!! Arigatou for the pics - the Chocolat card is Hot Kaya looks so cute ^^

Obviously someone has an obsession for Gackt no? Baha. Kaya looks good as a girl or guy, but those are the only two in existance I know that have him as a guy.

AyUta 5th September 2008 03:48 AM

Yep, Kaya looks good both ways :yes He makes a beautiful woman and a handsome man ;)

Aristocrat_Drug 5th September 2008 03:52 AM

I'm glad he's still working. Glad to see him still active too. Everyone else once involved with midi nette or Mana seems to have died/hid from the world or something. /topic change/ Gackt doens't count but he's not making music. /end topic changer/

XD That's so true~ Didn't Mana say that Moi dix Mois were doing something underground and secretive. We seriously need Klaha back. off topic.

Kaya does look rather gorgeous either way. I've always envied how he can dress like that and pull it off beautifully. Anyway, what did people think of the full version of the Chocolat PV? I love Kaya's dancing. X3

He's looking rather fine in the lastest Rock on J too!

Aristocrat_Drug 5th September 2008 06:00 AM

Kaya needs to stop being in magazines so I can get my hands on the other volumes! >< He looks really good in red though.

I have no idea what Mana is doing...I don't care cause I hated the last album (Sakura PM me if you wanna talk about this stuff I don't want to glorify anyone else other than Kaya on here) lol. For the record...KLAHA COME BACK.

That is all.

Aristocrat_Drug 7th September 2008 08:26 PM

My friend just came over yesterday. She brought me the Kaya stuff she ordered for me :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...it/kaya001.jpg I took little girl Kaya, the photo books are exactly the same only one of them is little boy Kaya or little girl. One of them (as I am told to believe) has a bonus track on it. I wasn't sure which one it was maybe it was little boy Kaya? Not sure!

The poster came in a little dinged but it looks GREAT. I took a crappy photo of it for those who are curious. Ill get a better one of it when I actually put it on my wall. Lol.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...it/kaya002.jpg

<3 Now Kaya can be great on my wall and watch me sleep. Bahaha.

AyUta 7th September 2008 10:52 PM

^ POSTER! O_O Lucky you :weep

Aristocrat_Drug 7th September 2008 10:56 PM

Lol, nah I just managed to grab it while the offer stood and I have great friends who order stuff for me. :luv2

Sakura_Genki 7th September 2008 10:57 PM

That poster is so gorgeous!
