Top 10
10. Karyu
Band: D'espairsRay
Position: Guitar
Age: 34
If Hizumi is mah husband then this guy is my mistress xD I have no idea how or why this guy made the top 10. It could be due to his dope guitar riffs. It could be due to his psychotic happy go lucky ways. It could also be due to his creeper nature. Or hell, maybe its due to his immense love for Anne Rice (yaya!) All and all I adore this freaky vampire boy and felt that needed to be present on this list.
9. Tusk
Band: Zi:Kill, Craze, Slut Banks, Solo
Position: Vocalist
Age: 42
Tusk has to be on this list. Tusk's vocals are one of my favorites on my list of vocalists ranging from a deep velvet sound to high pitches of pure insanity. The music of Zi:kill is something close to my heart and his newer works are incredibly gentle and absolutely beautiful. I can't seem to find something this guy does that I don't like musically. Also, I adore his style and his bizarreness.
8. Sakurai Atsushi
Band: Buck Tick
Position: Vocalist
Age: 45
Acchaaaaaan. Gorgeous, gothic, ethereal being of all things beautiful. More commonly known by me as the Dark Lord. Sakurai-san is a phenomenal lyricist, vocalist, and stage presence. His voice is what drew me to him followed by his intensity. Buck Tick has explored many musical styles and that requires a versatile vocalist and I think no one is better at pulling it off at Sakurai. He's cool, he's erotic, he's gentle, and he's explosive. All in all he's perfect in mind in terms of an ideal vocalist.
7. Tora
Band: Alice Nine
Position: Guitar
Age: 31
Tora is on here for obvious reasons. He's a kickass guitar player and song composer. I also find him incredibly charming as well as charismatic. There's something about his boyish nature and his giant personality that draws me in. Yay!
6. Nao
Band: Alice Nine
Position: Drums
Age: 31
Nao-shi!!!! How can Nao-shi not be on my top 10!? Nao is one of the jrockers I actually look up to. No its not weird if you think about Nao-shi. I think everyone would be better off with a little Nao in them. Not only is he adorable, playful, and goofy but he's also a leader and a very dedicated drummer. Nao seems truly happy and is probably one of the more mature members of Alice Nine (hence why I believe is so goofy xP). Its hard to describe why I really adore Nao, maybe its because that laugh is so contagious and he always makes me smile. I like that. He makes me cheerful.
5. Uruha
Band: The GazettE
Position: Guitar
Age: 30
U-sama~ ~ ~ more and more I find that I'm becoming a little too obsessed with Uruha xD Its obvious he's skillful and his songs are probably some of the GazettE's best but Uruha is also an incredibly interesting person to me. Personality wise I feel Uruha is one of the more honest memebers of GazettE, not that the others lie but I feel Uruha is the most honest with himself. I enjoy reading his interviews and hearing his thoughts on music and on just about anything. I also like that he's a bit of perfectionist when it comes to performing and I think without it GazettE's music wouldn't sound so amazing live xD
4. Kyo
Band: Dir en Grey
Position: Vocalist
Age: 35
Prophet and Poet. Period.
xD
Ok ok ok, Kyo is amazing in just about everything. His lyrics are probably my favorite thing besides his intensity and vast vocal range. He has the ability to move me to just about any emotion known to man. I just love Kyo's soul. He's one of the vocalists I can say truly rips out everything inside himself for the whole world to see. Simply put, Kyo is HUMAN in all its glory and in all its darkness.
3. Ruki
Band: The GazettE
Position: Vocalist
Age: 29
Looooove Ruki. I can talk about Ruki all day and be content. He's just such an awesome dude. His lyrics are probably my favorite out of all the bands I listen to. He's very intelligent and his way with words is incredibly impressive. To be honest I was shocked when I first came across his work. Ruki is also just downright adorable and a damn good performer. I feel explaining why he's on this list will become redundant because I talk about him too much >_< hahaha
2. Aoi
Band: The GazettE
Position: Guitar
Age: 32
Aoi! Of course he's one of the top right!? I really haven't thought about why Aoi is one of my favorite jrockers to be honest. I mean I thought about the rest of them but for some reason I haven't really thought about him. I think because its just natural for me to love Aoi. What I mean by that is that it was instantaneous. I like Aoi's personality. I enjoy his youthfulness and I like his daring nature. He has a lot of qualities that I like but I think Aoi is just downright badass in terms of GazettE. He has a magnetic stage presence, he's intense, sexy, and cool. He also makes some kickass songs. Like I said before its just natural for me to like him there really isnt any reason other then my people like his people if ya get my drift hahaha
1. Saga
Band: Alice Nine
Position: Bass
Age: 29
Saga is my top jrocker. Obvious right? Hahaha.
I think there is no other artist in the world I want to see succeed more than Saga-kun. His talent is really rare as a composer and as a musician. Listening and watching his talent grow is incredibly exciting for me as I feel Saga has a lot to offer to not only Visual Kei but to music in general. Its an interesting feeling to want so much for a band! For Saga-kun personally, I want him to be able to succeed to a point where he can freely run wild musically and explore his art. I want to be around to experience it as well.
Personality wise I think I was drawn to Saga because he's broody and naturally magnetic. He has this dark elegance about him. I also love his mind. I like hearing what he has to say and I can honestly read or listen to him ramble for ages. As I said with Kyo I can say here as well, I just adore Saga's soul.
