About 7 years ago when I was getting into jrock, I kept hearing Yami talk about Kyo eating babies and him being a scary/intimidating vocalist. With comments like this, I added Dir en grey to my list of bands to look up along with the bands I actually were introduced to through her like X Japan, hide, Malice Mizer, etc. So, I looked up the music and PVs and the love for them went from there.
