Kyo Sick & ... New OHP Pictures
I don't know where I was, or how I missed it...but... Kyo's voice giving out midway through a performance? I was... a little freaked, to say the least. The man contracts illness/injury at a surprising rate for someone of his occupation/constitution. Shinya's shoulder, and now Kyo has fucked up his throat again... Some people reacted as if the man is superhuman. "C'mon, it's Kyo." But he... he isn't superhuman. He's quite fallible. Rather, at least to me, it's quite worrisome. Illness is incredibly cohesive. This isn't some random, unfocused affliction. It's his fucking larynx. The likelihood of this happening again (despite his recovery) is somewhat daunting. I wonder how much more Kyo's body can take of his supposed "120%".
As for his comment, the supposed "Will you all love me even with this voice? Please love me even with this voice," seems like a believable statement to me (though, it's impossible to tell whether Kyo used a word so stressed as "love" due to some people's...interesting translations). If he did indeed say that... wow, I can only attempt to imagine the scene/atmosphere. A bit of surprise and distress, I can imagine, to witness a Kyo afflicted or unable to sing. At that time, no one quite sure of the damage... I'd be pulling out my hair. It seems, the thing to humble Kyo to the greatest extent must be his voice. He's in rather deep.
On a lighter note... New OHP pictures こちら. They're even better than I thought they would be, and much better than the last batch. Best pictures since GS, I'd say. I'd imagine, the icon-making ensues. (Sweet beaner Toshiya~)
