Welcome to Gaia! ::

3nodding That being said, still, how many people do you see just walking down the street dressed like Kiss? Or even on mtv, or in magazines, or anywhere else in american pop(ular) culture?


I believe this was an interview in the Macabre era, where he did still wear feminine things, and even lacey things (case in point, his AATD outfit). I find it amusing that he would say this and dress that way at all. Sure he's drifted away from the VK look, but they all have, probably because they thought the VK was getting old, and not just Kyo drifted away from the look because he didn't like it? Even if he's not so much into it anymore, that doesn't mean that he didn't dress in an effeminate way for the first 4+/- years of Diru and all of La Sadies (which was an additional year or so). Why would he do that if he doesn't like that look? I smell hypocrisy. He doesn't like bands with a feminine image, but he is willing to potray that image himself? And even if not, his band mates dress(ed) in a feminine way. What does that mean? He dislikes all other bands who portay the image except his own?? [/rant]

Actually, from what I've seen, yes a lot of people there commonly dress VK and Lolita, etc.


True, but over here, it is not common to see people dress like (just an example) Cage Kyo. That's not a common or well-known 'bizarre' here. However in Japan, if you see someone dressed like Kyo, you probably wouldn't think twice about it, because that's something that is common in pop culture, but over here, that's a different story. Which probably would explain why someone who saw cage Kyo would mistake him for a girl, as I said.


Perhaps that's what you would think, but you're more familiar with Japanese culture, and so you're probably more used to seeing guys with tons of makeup than say, someone who has only been raised on american pop culture with say rap, and rock bands like Limp bizkit and Linkin park (which you'd probably be hard pressed to find any of those people ever wearing makeup). Not to mention a majority of Japanese men in VK are more convincing as women (Mana, for example) than say this guy. And in all fairness, in Cage, Kyo was wearing more make-up than just a black streak down his face.


Who knows, if it's a lie, it's a hypocritical one, if it's what he really thnks, it's still hypocritical. But hey, you can't really go throwing doubt into everything he says, especially if it's just a statement on his opinion. For that much you might as well say he was lying in the BBC interview, and he really does like Marilyn Manson, and really cares about what he does.

OMG...same here xd i like how he's short and adorable~!! whee

what about Marilyn Manson?? question

You don't. I guess that's just the joy of Kyo. You never really know what the hell is going on.

And it is hypocritical, but honestly, I don't think he really cares. I don't know about you guys, but Kyo kinda strikes me as a selfish person.

I think this another one of those many times where we agree to disagree because I really don't see any sort of progression or end to this conversation in the future. ...so I'm done.

In other news: I want his jacket. D:

What'd you use for the eye-part?

Sounds like a lot of work. @_@ I'm terrible with makeup; if I tried to do that, it would've looked like a disaster. How'd you learn to put it on so nicely? xd
