Biographies

~ vocals

Stage Name: Kyo

Real Name : Tooru Niimura
Date of Birth: February 16th 1976
Zodiac sign : Aquarius
Place of Birth: Kyoto
Blood type : B
Height: 1,60 m
Weight:42 kg
Shoe size: 5

Kyo is the vocalist. He's very little but sometimes scary and his voice has a lot of power. I must admit that when he screams ALL the time it gets annoying but the occassional scream is fun. He IS actually a very good singer. He has a lot of energy and this is certainly reflected in his stage acts....
Watch out for the blood and vomit, though.

 


~guitar

Stage name: Kaoru

Shoe size :5 1/2

Kaoru, the other guitar and probably the one with more EDGE. He co-wrote most of the songs and... he's just groovy.

 

~ guitar

Die is guitar along with Kaoru and none of them really is the lead guitar. They are both equally good and the music are just REALLY cool. Feel the guitar love!

Shinya on drums! Very good! Cool! His drumming is amazing! Woo!  He is officially the androgynous one. Though he isn't ALWAYS dressing like a girl unlike Mana of Malice Mizer.

Toshiya on bass guitar. He must be one of the best bass guitar players ever... his basslines rock out and you should just hear the bass solo in CAGE! It's AMAZING! I think he makes a good transvestite...
