On top of that, Shinya from Dir en grey said years ago that one of his favorite albums was A Song for XX--and I think like, his translator (in recent years) heard him humming a recent Ayu song. Absolutely adorable, if you ask me :3

omg don't even get me started XD Even if Kyo says he doesn't like popular music, that doesn't stop me from finding similarities between Diru songs and Ayu songs~ You'd be surprised at how a few of them match up!

jbrat: So THAT'S who is in your avatar! XD I couldn't figure it out for the longest time. It's adorable

Omg I remember the stage crew would come out to set things up and all of the fans FREAKED OUT because they thought it was Diru, and the crew just smiled and waved like, "Yeah... we're not them, but thanks." LOL Ah, good times. Gotta see Diru again.

Last time I saw Dir, one of their roadies really looked like Kyo. Kyo-esque outfit, Kyo-esque hair. I had to do a double take, but then he attended to Shinya's drums hahaha. It always kills me how crazy fans get when the roadies drop their banner, or bring out Kyo's box lol.

jbrat: okay, here's a few I can think of off the top of my head~

children x A Song for XX
Merciless Cult x (miss)understood
Akuro no Oka x Together When...
Zakuro x fated
ain't afraid to die x momentum
THE PLEDGE x part of Me

ain't afraid to die and momentum are so eerily similar that I honestly think Ayu was reading Kyo's lyrics before she wrote this one lol. Same goes for THE PLEDGE and part of Me. A lot of these songs lyrics either compare to the other, as in they're talking about similar things, or it's like they're responding to something said in the other song. I have a whole playlist of Kyo/Ayu songs haha. It's lots of fun~

paper_doll: omg fans were freaking out about the roadies at my show, too. I can't tell if they're mistaking it for Kyo or if they're just that excited to see 'em set up.

Wow cool! Thanks

Sometimes I wonder if j-rock artists are musically aware of j-pop artists. I mean here in the western world, it isn't uncommon for the two to mix occasionally. But in Japan you never really hear of a duet with a Rock God and a Pop Princess, do you? (No, Gackt and Ayu singing together doesn't count! Gackt could go either way). Somehow, I feel the contrast between Ayu's sweet high ranged voice and Kyo's growling vocals and large range would be EPIC!

*edit*

I just remembered on Ayu's show she sang with some rock legends like Kiyoharu (sp?) but any hardcore ones?

Girl don't get me started~ I've wished so many times that the two would make the world explode by collaborating together Orrrrrrrr that someone would mash up their songs just so we could hear what they sound like.

And you're right! I mean, the recording industry in Japan alone isn't as big as like, the US or even Europe and Australia. There's gotta be instances where paths are crossed, but it's a matter of how familiar they are with each other. I suppose it's more than just their personal preference for music that interferes with them mixing up, you know?


... I still think that'd be the coolest thing ever ;_; Even if any other Jrock act got together with a mainstream or pop act. Or hell, even if one of 'em teamed up on alan's forgotten, lost in time single~

I think it's shame the two genres don't mix. But I think it's mostly do to the "What the hell?" factor from (Japanese) fans that could put off any success of a collaboration b/w, for example, Ayu and Kyo. Yes, they're legends in their own playing fields, but mixed together may have the public either infatuated and interested or wondering if they mixed crack with their breakfast that morning lol.

That's exactly what I was thinking, too. It's something that's too "risky" for that market, but at the same time I hope in the future it's a barrier that can be broken.

Random thought, but you know what would be nice? If Sakurai Atsushi came out with another solo record . His first one was so amazing, I was honestly blown away. I'd love to see him come up with something else, maybe with different, weird composers.


... Maybe he can work with Ayu lol.

^ I'll make sure to preorder to order that single/album/whatever if that happens.
Be interesting, since BUCK-TICK never really stays with the same music style on an album.

a bit off topic of sorts but is jrock big in your respective country ?

in here it's quite especially when you have anime events going on , bands always love to play jrock & never johnny's music

my younger sister went for 1 recently & they played a LOT of jrock , such as L'arc , Din en Grey
