After receiving a medical exam from his doctor due to Kyo's (Voice) vocal cord issues, it was determined that he is suffering from vocal cord nodule and vocal cord lesions. Thinking of DR EN GREY's future we

Em, are you sure it was translated by Risu and not posted in English at first place?

Nevermind, you posted the translated version but you linked to the English statement... In any case, thank you for posting it here. No words.

Stop apologizing and agonizing.
Someone should tell them the fanbase pretty much had a party over this. Maybe it'd ring a bell somewhere when their fans want them to take a break.

"Lesions" sounds just fucking painful, though.

[ever_in_eden]

When the band wants nothing more than keep going, and people somehow think that a break is going to be good for them... How the fuck can you think that (not just you, everyone) and even post it on their wall. Especially for Kyo, after saying that being on a stage/being in Dir en grey is all he wants, saying they have to take a break so it works out in the end, it is almost a mockery...

The second part was pretty much a joke. Christ, my English is not working at all, excuse me if the next sentence makes zero sense, but; I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that the topic of their health and stress over continuous touring seems to pop up quite frequently in discussions with fellow fans. I'm also sure I'm not the only one who, like you, has come to the conclusion that working non-stop is the way they're happy, and the way of life they fit in the best.

But, we see what it did to Kyo.
Now perhaps Kaoru can finally read his books.

If you only know of one way of life since you have been 15, 16, 18. How can you just "relax" in emptiness for let's say, six months, one year? Just read everything the members, and Kyo, have written about the time he was in the hospital for ear damage. Just go and read the pain they all went through, the uncertainty. How can this be a good thing

[hollow_pony]

Ouch! Vocal nodules hurt! >< The good thing is as long as he doesn't use them and rests, they'll heal up and there won't be any damagec(or they'll be surgically removed, which is probably more likely). They can't have popped up recently though, they take a while to form and they tend to announce themselves when they're there. I hope he hadn't been ignoring them for a while beforehand.

Edit- Whoa, whoa, what? There are people who are HAPPY about this? What? How does that even..? He's SICK, why the hell is that an acceptable reason to happy?!

[ever_in_eden]

I don't know if it is happiness or... But I read so many times on tumblr and even facebook things like "ah, finally, I am happy that they at least they get a chance to rest!" or even "lol, I knew it was about time they took a break". Is this happiness or just an expression, I don't know, but it is overwhelming at this moment, just hope...

[hollow_pony]

I mean, it's good for them to rest and this is a good example of why they should rest more, but to rejoice in it is just not ok
