Shinya Facts

* Shinya does not believe he will truly be grown up until he becomes a dad.
* During one of Kyo's speeches at an Osaka concert (involving many "anou's and eto's") he suddenly decided that Shinya would give a short speech. Shinya immediately clapped his hand over his mouth and tried to become invisible. He did eventually speak, but gave the microphone back quickly.
* At the Tokyo NKH Hall Concert, as Dir en grey came out for the second part of the concert, each member sgot on top of the box at center stage. Kaoru grabbed Shinya, picked him up horizontally and set him down on his side in front of the drums.
* A fan once sent Shinya a vacuum cleaner.

* Despite his shy appearance, the rest of the band claims Shinya is rather self-confident.
Kyo is the singer for Dir en grey. His real name is Nimura Tooru, he was born in Kyoto on Feb. 16, 1976,(37) his blood type is B, and he stands at 5'3". His unique voice is clearly the most valuable asset to the band. He does singing, falsettos, screaming, moaning, roaring, crying, dying, choking, rapping, you name it, he can do it. Kyo makes short people everywhere proud with his powerful presence. Indeed, one has not lived until he has been glared at by Kyo. His hair has been pink, red, black, and blonde, the latter of which it currently is right now. Kyo enjoys being the "scary one," and though he may be likened to an evil china doll, he has a very kind face without the makeup.
* Kyo enjoys lying during interviews. One cannot trust what he says.
* Kyo looks up to the vocalist Kiyoharu in the band Kuroyume.
* When asked to list his 3 most precious things, Kyo responded with: 1. Dir en Grey; 2. my voice; 3. my 800-1000 CDs at home.
* When asked to say something to all of his bandmates, he simply replied with "Minna-san work hard."
* Kyo must like classical music (Ma! Not what one would expect from a rocker!) He listens to Brahms- Dir en grey borrowed a tune from that composer for Deity.
* At one point at a concert in Osaka, Toshiya gave his bass to Kyo. The look on his face is assumed to be the same face he would make if someone handed him a large, dead, smelly fish.
* Kyo likes girls in kimonos. Perhaps this is why he so often wears a furisode.
* His likes and dislikes could be summed up with one word: women. "They can bring such wonderful happiness, yet are utterly terrifying." He prefers strong women to passive women.
* Kyo wears glasses. Okay, so that's not really a strange thing, but kinda nice for all the fans out there looking at the world through two windows.
* Kyo once stated that it is okay for people to wear normal clothes at weddings, but the bride should wear a blue fish. Any reference to Mr. Newsman? He has stated he would like to get married and settle down someday.
* Kyo once stated in an interview that, for some reason, people keep calling him Miyabi. Ever since then, Die keeps calling him "Miya-chan."
* Kyo likes to be called "Kyo" and "Kyo-san." He hates being called "Kyo-chan."
* He also does not like getting things like candy from fans because it melts in the mail and makes a mess. He would prefer cigarettes.

While he was in the hospital, Kyo was not worried about delaying the tour or if these complications would cause problems with the band. He was just worried that he was going to get fat from the medicine. He also complained that the nurse giving him saline injections took the needle out of his arm very slowly, and he wanted her to do it fast.
