Ok, ok...
I know, I already had my enough-with-the-tattoos rant.
But I had no. fucking. idea.
Because, you see, this? This needs to stop. For fuck's sake.
I didn't know Kaoru had jumped on the bandwagon. Along with looking completely different in the face (although I can't complain too much... he's still smokin' hot, despite the goatee and the likely fake glasses), his arms have fucking NO SKIN TONE LEFT. Jesus H Christ! Tattoos stopped being a sign of rebellion when bleach-blond 16 year old girls started getting them. You were good with the piercings, what happened to that? (If you notice, Kyo has taken most of his out.)
Kyo has the sexiest abs on this planet, bar none, and he goes and covers them with shit?! The HELL is that? When the ink starts encroaching onto his chest, it's time for a damn intervention. I thought the neck one I caught in earlier photos was bad enough... (Although I THINK it says Dir en grey, and thus I'm sort of pleased over his loyalty to the band... BUT ON YOUR FUCKING NECK, KYO?!)
And it's a sign of the degradation of the fanbase that no one seems to care, or notice. I mean, seriously, he used to have nothing. NOTHING. He was as PURE AS THE MOUNTAIN SNOW. But NOW you think he's bad-ass, because he's covered himself in the painful equivalent of permanent marker?
Then, the butterfly. Ok, that was cute. He's Kyo, and he has a cute little butterfly on his arm. D'awww. I could appreciate the irony.
And then it just elevated.
I can't remember about Kaoru... I always remember him having something on his fingers, even in the Visual Kei days... though half the time it was probably make-up or part of his outfit. Regardless, he didn't cover up his body like Kyo did, so it was easier to see that he was mostly SANS INK.
Which kinda leads back to my point. Kyo worked hard on his abs, to the point where he's so proud of them he can't wear a shirt for more than five minutes at a time (I fully support this, by the way), and now he FUCKS WITH THEM? Jesus. H. Christ.
Ok, fine, FINE. I'm done.
But.. ok, final note... In this picture? First time I've ever noticed scars on his chest. God DAMNIT, but I hate when he mutilates himself on stage. I had always (rather hopefully) assumed that it was fake; no one could produce that much blood on a whim. But... well, there you have it. You have to assume, of course, that he's not stupid, and wouldn't hurt himself to the point of serious injury, and if HE can't control himself, at least the other band members might, but... still.
I hate it, and can't understand why people cheer for it. Hooray, you've torn your beautiful chest up, once again! COOKIES FOR EVERYONE!
The FUCK.
I especially hate it when he goes for his mouth. I actually had to look away, when he did it while I was in the pit, only ten feet away.
A few people beside me did the same, though, and confided that they feel the same way I do, so I do have some hope for the fanbase.
Nothing will keep them from being my favorite band, of course, but still... When you care about something, you can't help but get a little sick to your stomach when they just fuck it all up to hell.
Ha ha, but like I matter. I'm one stupid American fan, after all.
I just kinda hope there's not so much blood in the Japanese concerts, anymore. Mind, I would have had a chance to see for myself, but the Kyoto concert is the BLOODY DAY I GET THERE... No way you can get tickets day of. Daaamnit.
They better tour again next spring. GAH.
