Kirsty: It’s not like you’re forcing yourself to be dark, right? You seem to be laughing in all your photos.

Toshiya: Nope, not at all. But, I feel like smiling is more approachable than having a scary face on.I have to love him! Although, lately, he seems to be awfully serious, at least in the official photos

ORLY now, toshiya? XDDDD

haha, but c'mon, it's sweet, ain't it? Especially since they all try to be oh-so-hard and dark...

Aw that now made me smile :) Abused it while making a post at the Tosh-comm XD So thanks for the idea.

Good, ain't it? He seems to be a very thoughtful person. And, like I said, he is not only intelligent, but has this certain social-intelligence which makes it easy to work with these kind of ppl. He's plain awesome!

Yaaaay thanks for pointing us to the interview!! It's really cool to be able to read something open like this from one of the Dir en grey members (esp. Toshiya!), I enjoyed it very much! :)

You're very welcome^^
I think he's the most underestimated member in the band. After all, he's 'only' the bassist and ppl tend to think that bassists are only good-looking, bouncy and very brainless. I am so glad that Tosh makes a difference there.

This interview really makes me think about a few things. You really have to love him for being so honest and genuine.

[seinen_no]

I think so too. He really is genuine and I think he's the member who pretends the less of all of them. He just is how and what he is and although he of course developped and changed throughout the years, he never betrayed himself. At least it comes off like that and I admire that in a person who's life is dominated by fake images and lies.
