Of course there have been winter gales, and storms and fog and the like. But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident… or any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort." - Captain E.J. Smith, Captain of the RMS Titanic Questioning the Story: Were Jack and Rose based on real people? No. Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater, portrayed in the movie by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, are almost entirely fictional characters (James Cameron modeled the character of Rose after American artist Beatrice Wood, who had no connection to Titanic history). The movie's love story is also fiction. It was created by Titanic screenwriter and director James Cameron. In addition to Rose and Jack, a handful of other characters associated with them are fictional as well. They include Rose's fiancé Caledon 'Cal' Hockley (Billy Zane), her mother Ruth (Frances Fisher), Cal's valet Spicer Lovejoy (David Warner), and the third class passengers, who include Jack's friends Fabrizio (Danny Nucci) and Tommy (Jason Barry). Some of the third class passengers were modeled after real people. I heard there was a J. Dawson on board the Titanic, is that true? Yes. A man who signed his name J. Dawson did board the Titanic. However, the J. stood for Joseph, not Jack. Born in Dublin, Joseph Dawson was a member of the Titanic crew. He worked as a coal trimmer (it was his job to even out the piles of coal that were shoveled into the ship's furnaces). James Cameron said that he was not aware of Joseph Dawson until after finishing his Titanic screenplay. Still, lovestruck fans of the 1997 movie ventured to J. Dawson's grave in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where they left cinema stubs, personal photos, and pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio (the exact burial location is Grave 227 in Fairview Lawn Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia). Another coincidental character created by James Cameron was Jack's Irish friend Tommy Ryan (Jason Barry). The ship's manifest lists a Thomas Ryan, a 27-year-old steward from third class whose body, if recovered, was never identified. Who sketched Jack's drawing of Rose that we see in the movie Titanic? Director James Cameron did the sketch of Rose (Kate Winslet) wearing the necklace. It is actually Cameron's hand, not Leonardo DiCaprio's, that we see sketching Rose in the movie. James Cameron also drew all of the pictures in Jack's sketchbook. Were the movie's underwater shots of the Titanic wreckage real? Yes. Most of the underwater shots of the Titanic wreckage are real. In 1995, James Cameron hired the Russian vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh and its two submersibles. He made a total of twelve dives to film the underwater close-ups at a depth of 12,500 feet below the North Atlantic. Special cameras and housings were designed to withstand the 6,000 pounds per square inch of water pressure. Each dive lasted approximately fifteen hours, but the cameras could only store 500 feet of film, which meant that only twelve minutes of footage could be shot per dive. As a result, a few of the underwater shots had to be faked. Were any of Pablo Picasso's paintings lost with the Titanic? No. After Rose (Kate Winslet) boards the ship in the movie, we see her displaying authentic paintings by the then barely-known painter, Pablo Picasso. Cal (Billy Zane) comments that the artist will never amount to anything. This is an obvious point of humor in the movie, but it also raises the question as to whether or not these paintings were in fact part of Titanic history. The answer is no. One of the paintings shown in the movie is Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" ( shown here), which depicts five prostitutes in a brothel. It is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Were there any black passengers on board the Titanic? Yes. Joseph Phillippe Lemercier Laroche was the only black man to perish in the Titanic sinking. Laroche, shown on the right in a family photo, was on board with his pregnant wife Juliette and their two young daughters. The story of this interracial family was not known until 2000, three years after the movie's release, when the Chicago Museum of Science & Industry and the Titanic Historical Society revealed the information as part of a Titanic exhibit. Joseph Laroche was born in Haiti in 1889 into a powerful family — his uncle, Dessalines M. Cincinnatus Leconte, was the president of Haiti. When he was fifteen, Joseph Laroche left Haiti to study engineering in Beauvais, France. Several years later, he met Juliette Lafargue, the 22-year-old daughter of a local wine seller. The two eventually married. Despite having an engineering degree, Joseph's skin color left him unable to find employment in France. The Laroches decided to return to Haiti and booked second-class reservations on the Titanic. After the ship struck an iceberg, Joseph loaded his wife and children onto a lifeboat and he went down with the ship. His body was never recovered. Shortly before Christmas of that year, Juliette Laroche gave birth to their son, Joseph Laroche Jr. Juliette never remarried. Did Bruce Ismay really encourage Captain Smith to go faster? During the U.S. Senate's Inquiry into the disaster, Bruce Ismay, the Managing Director of the White Star Line, said the following, "I understand it has been stated that the ship was going at full speed. The ship never had been at full speed. The full speed of the ship is 78 revolutions. She works up to 80. So far as I am aware, she never exceeded 75 revolutions. She had not all her boilers on. None of the single-ended boilers were on." Ismay said that it was their intention to work the ship up to its full speed of 80 revolutions either on the next day (Monday) or two days later (Tuesday), depending on the weather. Surviving passengers stated that they heard Bruce Ismay pressuring Captain Edward J. Smith to go faster, with one passenger even stating that he saw Ismay flaunting an iceberg warning during dinner. However, none of the surviving officers supported these accusations, and survivor testimony from some passengers was considered unreliable and at worst imaginative. Bruce Ismay was crucified by the newspapers for leaving the ship, and he quickly became a common target upon which to place blame. Yet, it is also possible that the testimony from the surviving officers, exonerating Ismay, was given in the best interest of White Star Line. Did pieces of ice from the iceberg really land on the promenade deck? Yes. Mrs. Churchill Candee, of Washington, said the following about the ice, "The first thing I recall was one of the crew appearing with pieces of ice in his hands. He said he had gathered them from the bow of the boat. Some of the passengers were inclined to believe he was joking. But soon the situation dawned on all of us." Survivor William Lucas reported seeing "about a couple of tons" of ice "on the forewell [deck] on the starboard side" of the ship. Fourth Officer Joseph Groves Boxhall said that he found "a little ice in the well deck covering a space of about three or four feet from the bulwarks right along the well deck, small stuff." Did the Titanic's band continue to play as the ship went under? Yes. 33-year-old Wallace Henry Hartley, a violinist, was the bandleader on the Titanic. Hartley (left) had a fiancée in Boston Spa, near Wetherby in Yorkshire, and he had spent time with her before leaving on the Titanic. After the ship struck an iceberg, Wallace Hartley assembled his eight-man band, and they eventually ended up on the Boat Deck near the entrance to the Grand Staircase. There, they played ragtime and waltzes. Specifically, survivors reported them playing "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and "In the Shadows". No one is certain what the last song was that the band played as the ship went down. Newspapers reported that it was "Nearer, My God, To Thee" while some survivors said the tune was "Song d'Automne". All of the band members perished in the Titanic sinking. Wallace Hartley's body was recovered on May 4, 1912 by the cable ship Mackay-Bennett. Thousands of mourners lined the streets during his funeral procession in Colne, Lancashire, north-west of England. See a picture of Wallace Hartley's funeral procession. Jonathan Evans Jones, the actor who portrayed Wallace Hartley in James Cameron's Titanic movie, is a professional violinist. Were the third class passengers really locked below as the movie Titanic suggests? Yes, but not exactly in the way that the film implies. Titanic history tells us that gates did exist which barred the third class passengers from the other passengers. However, these gates weren't in place to stop a third class passenger from taking a first class passenger's seat on a lifeboat. Instead, the gates were in place as a regulatory measure to prevent the "less cleanly" third class passengers from transmitting diseases and infections to the others. This would save time when the ship arrived in New York, as only the third class passengers would need a health inspection. At the time of the sinking, some stewards kept gates locked waiting for instructions, while others allowed women and children to the upper decks. As a result of poor communication from the upper decks, the dire reality of the situation was never conveyed. The crew failed to search for passengers in the cabins and common areas, and the fact that some third class passengers did not speak English, also presented a problem. As a result, many of the third class passengers were left to fend for themselves. Only 25 percent of the third class passengers survived the disaster. Did Officer Murdoch really commit suicide after shooting passengers and accepting a bribe? After the release of James Cameron's 1997 movie Titanic, Officer William Murdoch's surviving relatives, other historians, and people from Murdoch's hometown of Dalbeattie, Scotland were angered over Cameron's decisive portrayal of First Officer Murdoch (right). In the film, he turns his gun on himself after shooting two passengers who are rushing a lifeboat. Based on witness testimony, historians are fairly certain that an officer did commit suicide, but it can't be said with absolute certainty that it was First Officer Murdoch. Also, there is no evidence to suggest that Murdoch ever took a bribe. James Cameron likely put the bribe in the film to show Cal's (Billy Zane) lack of integrity rather than Murdoch's. Studio executives flew to Murdoch's hometown where they issued an apology and made an $8,500 donation to Murdoch's memorial fund. Did one of Titanic's giant funnels really crash down into the water? Yes. This scene in the movie accurately depicts Titanic history. As the bridge of the ship sunk below the surface, the first funnel fell forward into the water, crashing onto some of the swimmers (in the movie, we see it crash down onto Jack's fictional friend, Fabrizio). The rush of water from the funnel's splash washed collapsibles A and B away, thrusting their occupants into the icy waters. It is believed that millionaire John Jacob Astor was killed by the falling forward funnel. When his body was found, it was badly crushed and covered in soot. Authorities used the initials "J.J.A." on the collar of his brown flannel shirt to positively identify him. He had been on board with his nineteen-year-old bride Madeline, who survived the disaster. See a collage of John and Madeline Astor. While traveling on their honeymoon, Madeline became pregnant with their son, and she wanted to return home to have the baby in the United States. They booked a first class passage on the RMS Titanic. Did some of the passengers choose to go down with the ship? Yes. Near the end of the movie Titanic, we see an old couple embracing in bed as water pours into their cabin. The couple is first class passengers Isador and Ida Straus (left). Isador was the co-owner of Macy's department store. In real life, Isador and Ida were both offered a place on Lifeboat No. 8, but Isador chose to stay on the Titanic so long as there were women who remained on the ship. Ida refused to abandon her husband. Witnesses on the deck and in Lifeboat No. 8 heard Ida tell her husband, "We have been living together for many years. Where you go, I go." The couple was last seen sitting on a pair of deck chairs (not lying in bed like in the movie). Only Isador's body was recovered and identified. Did Captain Smith really go into the bridge to await his fate? In Robert Ballard's book, The Discovery of the Titanic, he claims that Captain Smith went into the bridge to await his fate at 2:17 A.M., three minutes before the ship went under completely. View a photo of Captain Smith. This may have been partially based on the account of Philadelphia banker Robert W. Daniel, who claimed that just before he jumped into the water, he saw Captain Smith on the bridge, which was slowly being swallowed by the icy sea. James Cameron supports this account in his 1997 movie Titanic by showing Captain Smith enter the bridge and grasp the wheel as water crashes in. While some survivors testified that they saw Captain Smith enter the bridge, other Titanic survivors said that they saw Captain Smith in the water with a life jacket. It is possible that he may have jumped from the bridge area as the ship went down. A boy who was one of the last children to leave the ship told Dr. J.F. Kemp, a passenger on the Carpathia, that "Captain Smith put a pistol to his head and then fell down." Other witnesses reported having seen Captain Smith commit suicide as well. Surviving crewmen vigorously denied the possibility. His body was never recovered. Did the Titanic's lights continue to burn until just before the ship went under? Yes. Dr. Washington Dodge, a Titanic survivor who observed the ship's final moments from a lifeboat, said the following in an April 20, 1912 San Francisco Bulletin article, "We saw the sinking of the vessel. The lights continued burning all along its starboard side until the moment of its downward plunge. After that a series of terrific explosions occurred, I suppose either from the boilers or weakened bulkheads." This account is nearly identical to what is shown in the movie. Did the Titanic really break apart as it sunk? Yes. For years, whether the Titanic broke apart as it went under was a highly debated element of Titanic history. Some survivors testified that the ship did break apart as it sunk, while others said that it went under intact. Much of the uncertainty surrounding this was put to rest in 1985 when the wreck of the Titanic was discovered in two separate portions on the sea bottom. It is very likely that the ship broke apart much like the movie's depiction. Were any of the passengers rescued from the water like Rose? Yes. Only two of the sixteen lifeboats went back to pick up survivors, and they ended up saving six. The first was Quartermaster Perkis in Lifeboat 4, who was able to pull 5 people from the water but only 3 survived. The second boat was Lifeboat 14 headed by Fifth Officer Harold Lowe (right), who had gathered nearby lifeboats together to free up room in one of them. When Lifeboat 14 returned to where the Titanic had sunk (approximately 150 yards away), Officer Lowe and a working crew of six men picked up four survivors from the water. One of the four men found in the water, a William F. Hoyt from New York, died in the lifeboat. A British Inquiry asked Officer Lowe why he didn't return more quickly to help the people in the water. In his testimony, Harold Lowe responded by saying, "Because it would have been suicide to go back there until the people had thinned out." Lowe further stated, "...it would have been useless to try it, because a drowning man clings at anything." Lowe feared that the large number of people in the water would have swamped or overturned the lifeboat. It is Officer Lowe's boat that saves Rose (Kate Winslet) in the film. How did Margaret Brown get the nickname "Unsinkable Molly Brown"? When the Carpathia arrived at New York's pier 54, over 30,000 people, including reporters, clamored to interview the Titanic survivors. When reporters asked Margaret Brown to what she attributed her survival, Margaret replied, "Typical Brown luck. We're unsinkable." Reporters began referring to her as the "Unsinkable Mrs. Brown". See a photo collage of Margaret "Molly" Brown. The nickname of "Molly" was a Hollywood invention created years later in the 1930s. It was part of a highly fictional tale that became the basis for the 1960 Broadway musical, The Unsinkable Molly Brown. In the movie Titanic, we get a glimpse of the friendship between Margaret Brown and John Jacob Astor. Before boarding the ship, Margaret had been traveling with J.J. Astor and his wife Madeline in Cairo, Egypt. Margaret booked a First Class passage on the Titanic after learning that her grandson Lawrence was ill. How long could the people have remained alive in the water? On the night of the Titanic sinking, the temperature of the salt water was likely around 28° F. The human body loses heat to the water about 30 times faster than it does to the air. When the core body temperature falls to approximately 89° F, a decrease in consciousness occurs. If the core temperature cools to below 86° F, then heart failure becomes a major concern, as it is the most common cause of hypothermia-related deaths. The people in the bone chilling 28° water above the sinking Titanic would have had anywhere from several minutes to an hour to live, depending on their physical condition and how much they flailed. Some people in the water might have believed that swimming would help their body to generate heat. In reality, people who swam or moved around a lot would have lost heat 35-50% faster and been susceptible to exhaustion. There were even several people who died from hypothermia in the Titanic lifeboats, because they were open and gave no protection against the cold. Regulations have since been put in place that require lifeboats to be fully or partially enclosed. How many people were rescued by the Carpathia? The Cunard liner Carpathia, under the command of Captain Arthur Rostron, was only fifty-eight miles away when Titanic sent her distress call at 12:25 A.M. It took the Carpathia four hours to reach the Titanic's position. View a photo of the Titanic's lifeboats approaching the Carpathia. In all, 711 passengers were rescued and over 1500 perished in the disaster. Among the passengers rescued were 58 men; all of whom came under public scrutiny after news broke that approximately 150 women and children died (mostly from Second and Third class). Titanic survivor Adolphe Saalfeld said of the Carpathia, "The Captain and Officers of the Carpathia did all that was possible to make us comfortable, and to those that were sick or injured; they gave their most tender care. The icebergs were huge and the weather extremely rough on the voyage to New York." Did Bruce Ismay really sneak into a lifeboat like in the movie Titanic? No. There are no reports of Bruce Ismay disguising himself as a woman to sneak into a lifeboat as he does in the movie. However, First Class Passenger Jack Thayer said that he saw Bruce Ismay pushing his way into Collapsible C. Thayer "did not blame him," because from what Thayer could see, "It was really every man for himself." Of the 58 men who survived, Bruce Ismay, the Managing Director of the White Star Line, received the most criticism, and in 1913, Ismay resigned from his job and from public life. London society labeled Bruce Ismay one of the biggest cowards in history, and both the American and English press ruthlessly attacked him. Some papers even published cartoons of Ismay deserting the ship. Was the Heart of the Ocean (Coeur de la Mer) a real diamond? No. The Heart of the Ocean diamond is a fictional device that James Cameron added to the plot in order to give Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) a reason to hear Rose's story. The Heart of the Ocean is based on the famous Hope Diamond that King Louis XVI of France gave to Marie Antoinette to add to her jewelry collection. The Hope Diamond is currently on display at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C. It holds no place in Titanic history. As a result of moviegoer fantasies surrounding the fictional Heart of the Ocean, the Asprey & Garrard jewelry company decided to make a real Heart of the Ocean diamond necklace. The 170-carat sapphire, surrounded by sixty-five 30-carat diamonds, was worn by Celine Dion during her performance of "My Heart Will Go On" at the 1998 Academy Awards Ceremony. The necklace later sold at a benefit auction for $2.2 million. Can I visit the Titanic movie set? No. The set, which was located in Mexico, no longer exists. The nearly full-scale Titanic replica created for the film was badly damaged when the filmmakers submerged it underwater to recreate the sinking. It was dismantled after filming wrapped. Like the original ship, the replica was 60 feet from the boat deck to the water. Certain repetitive lengthwise sections of the ship were omitted, which made it shorter than the original 882.5 foot ship. The movie ship had only been completed on one side. As a result, there are several scenes in which the ship is reversed, such as in the "I'm the king of the world" scene where the crew galley skylight gives the reversal away. Very few of the ship's interiors were built into the replica's framework itself. Most were built on neighboring sound stages. The set designs, costumes and the ship itself were meticulously recreated. View a comparison photo of Titanic's Grand Staircase. In several cases, James Cameron even hired the original manufacturers to reproduce such things as carpets and lifeboat davits. http://www.chasingthefrog.com/reelfaces/titanic.php

NIGHTMARE



Nightmare's new single "the WORLD" is being used as the opening for the popular anime Death Note. The second track of the single, "Alumina" is used as its ending.

Yomi - VOCAL


Real name: Jun Chiba
Birthday: July 14th
Birthplace: Furukawa
Blood Type: A
Height 155cm [5'1"] *This is what Yomi put in his profile for the Nightmare Box, so it's different from my past measurement of "158cm" ^^;.

Foot Size 24.5-25cm [size 6.5-7 US Men size ^^]
Wrist band color Yellow
Family Mother and father, younger brother
Cigarette Brand Doesn't smoke
Mini-bio
Yomi ranks out as the shortest and the second youngest of the group. He is a spirited young man and tolerated being smacked in the head 3 times by an interviewer AND then by Sakito ^^;;;; He has a beautiful voice that makes people squishy.
He does especially well in lives and put out full energy to make his fans happy. He also likes talking. A lot. (^^;; He also seems to like to run around on stage barefoot.) Yomi is often compared to Dir en grey's Kyo, but let me assure you that they're nothing alike. The only thing they have in common is being short. Other than that, nothing ^^;;;;

During breaks in lives Yomi loves to interact with the fans, asking them questions and actually responding to theirs. (Yomi apparently likes his girls with a big bust and he likes them be able to cook and clean)

MOI DIX MOIS


Mana, one of the most influential artist of the Visual Kei movement founded the cult band Malice Mizer in 1992, with the guitarist Közi. During their ten years-career Malice Mizer make themselves known as a unique and influential band in japanese gothic rock scene, inventing and introducing in the Visual scene original ideas both in the music/composition and in costumes image, melting baroque and neoclassical refined influences with a gothic rock base.
The 11th December 2001, Klaha, Mana, Közi and Yu~ki decided together to suspend the band activities (and put it on hiatus) to focus on their individual projects.

DEADMAN



LINE UP
呼 Mako
position: vocals
dob: 11.06.xx

Mako writes all the lyrics for deadman's songs.
You could say Mako's wonderfully dark voice is the perfect counterpart for aie's dreary songwriting.
His singing is full of relish and also is underlined by a strong frowning undertone.

aie
position: guitar
dob: 26.09.xx

Aie writes all of deadman's songs.
Due to his band expericences (Lamiel, kein), he not only creates songs with a tuneful depth, he also accomplishes to fuse all instruments to an arranged union. Despite or perhaps on account of this union of sound, it seems that each instrument is fully involved in creating the dimmer deadman atmosphere.
Also remarkable: You will virtually never hear aie playing guitar solos.

Toki
position: drums
dob: 19.10.xx

One of the most accurate and, at the same time, rank drums musicians of the JRock indie scene.
What is already introduced in songs like [shikibetsu no nai kuukyo] (from [Site of Scaffold]), Toki has evolved consequently on newer songs. His art of playing does not rest upon speed, but rather on creating a moody atmosphere.
Especially on deadman's last album, [no alternative], his diversified way of playing the drums is audible.

Takamasa (ex-member)
position: bass (11.01 - 06.04.05)
dob: 11.10.xx
His bass playing is namely taking part in deadman's gloomy and peculiar sound, accentuating and completing the other instruments, playing conjointly with Mako's voice and breaking out once in a while with meekly notes.

ゆきの Yukino (ex-member)
position: bass (until 04.01)
dob: 16.01.xx
Yukino left deadman after the release of [subliminal effect] and now plays his bass for GULLET.
For deadman, he wrote the music for [Mirrors] and [Radical Garden] on their first mini album [Subliminal effect].

BIOGRAPHY:

Deadman were founded in 2001 by mako, aie, Yukino and toki (ex- Lamiel). Before Mako, aie and Yukino played together in a band called "kein". Yukino left the band in April 2001 (now Gullet). In November Takamasa (ex- Lady) joined as new Bassist. Takamasa left the Band in April 2005, but luckly deadman found a another great Bassist "Kazuya" (ex-happysad) who joined in November 2005.

December 2005 - release of full album [in the direction of sunrise and night light]

March 2006 - Deadman announces that they will stop activity. Their last was on May 23, 2006.

Vocal, Piano : Gackt [gone : 1999]
Drums : Gaz [gone : 1993]
Drums : Kami [deceased : 1999]
Vocal : Tetsu [gone : 1994]

PROFILE
It’s hard to define the genre to which Malice Mizer belonged. Their looks, inpired highly by the Gothic imagery, Victorian style and XIX century decadence, might fool a layman, especially if he has never heard of Visual Kei before. Also the name of the band itself is a bit tricky, but according to Mana and Gackt the words ‘malice’ and ‘misery’ are the best answer to the basic question ‘What is human?’, which was the foundation of the band’s concepts. One could expect Malice Mizer to create loud or heavy music, but their discography is in fact a quite peculiar mix of rock, pop, metal, classical music, electronic sounds and whatever else you might think of. Their style changed over the years but sometimes even the songs from one album sound as if recorded by completely different bands. And even though they set new trends in fashion (Mana is said to be one of the creators of the Gothic Lolita style) their music stays unique as noone can copy their sound.

Recommendations
For the love of god, stay away from the stuff with Tetsu vocals! I prefer the Gackt-era Malice Mizer and Klaha, and I would definitely recommend getting your hands on the stuff off of Merveilles. Klaha's also a good vocalist, so you may want to try some of the singles he was involved with, such as Gardenia, Garnet, and Beast of Blood

PHANTASMAGORIA



PROFILE
Phantasmagoria is the current band of well-known bassist, Kisaki (ex Mirage, Syndrome, Kisaki Project). Extremely visual with a heavy rock sound, the group is one of the most popular off of the Under Code Production label.
Phantasmagoria : a fantastic series of images, such as those seen in a dream. Their visuals and music often seem to be created with this very definition of the band's name kept strongly in mind.

DIR en GREY


PROFILE
The band was founded in 1997 when four of the band members of the indieband La:sadies, that had disbanded in January the recent year since the bass player/leader Kisaki (PHANTASMAGORIA)left the band, decided to start a new band together with the newfound bass player Toshiya. The first album the band released was Missa, a minialbum with six songs reminding about the indiestyle that had been characterized for La:sadie’s.

The former X Japan member Yoshiki produced the first fullength album Gauze that was released in 1998. Significant for Gauze was the special sound that the band had begun to develop. After the release of Gauze they got out on a tour, and touring has been something very important for the band thereafter and each fullength album has been followed by an official tour.


MEMBERS
Kaoru - guitarist~ Leader
Birthdate - 17/02/1974
Bloodtype - AB
Height - 170cm (5'6")


Kaoru is the stoic, "leader-san" of the group, a lean, poker-faced figure with the grace and swagger of a stalking panther. He rarely smiles -- though when he does, it's a lovely sight! -- and was the one member of the group who scared all the others the first time they met him. Imagine, even Kyo was scared of him.

Kaoru was born in Hyougo, Aquarius if you believe in astrology, and is the one known to keep Dir en grey in order. They say whenever there is differences in making decisions it's always Kaoru who keeps things under control and has the final say. He is the guitarist and main song writer for the group, and writes some wonderfully diverse music, from the ghostly haunting melodies of mazohyst of decadence and MACABRE to the manicness of Zan and Berry, to the sweetly sorrowful Akuro no Oka. He can also produce some of the most amazing sounds from a guitar.

He is sparing (compared to the rest of the group, that is) when it comes to makeup, though he is always sure to accent two of his loveliest features, his eyes and lips. And he has no need to accentuate his cheekbones, for they're amazing enough to begin with! His hair tends to go through various shades of blue to purple and thereabouts, and is currently black. His clothes are a little more downstated than the rest of the members, but he holds more of an elegance in simplicity; long, lean lines of leather and pvc, tight corsetry, unusually layered skirts and buckled shirts, and almost always he is dressed in black.

I love the arrogance in his saunter, and the serious way he stares down the camera. He gets into his music with such vivid intensity,from his solidly planted feet while he sways madly during a guitar solo, to the wild way in which he headbangs. And he has a sweet, childlike side that he shows sometimes, too; his smiles of pure enjoyment, how he skips across a stage like a little boy, or how he plays with Kyo or Die.

KYO
Kyo - vocalist
Birthdate - 16/02/1975
Bloodtype - B
Height - 160cm (5'3")


Kyo was born in Kyoto, Aquarius if you believe in astrology, and is known to enjoy lying during interviews, which means you can never really be sure that what he said has an ounce of truth in it. Kyo is not his real name, but he hates his own and decided to change it, choosing the Kyo from his birthplace Kyoto. He has a powerful, throaty voice that he can do an amazing number of things with, and writes all the lyrics for Dir en grey's songs. He's been known to say that he will never write a happy ending in a song.

DIE (DAISUKE)
Die - guitarist
Birthdate - 20/12/1974
Bloodtype - B
Height - 178cm (5'10")

Die is the easy-going member of the group, the joker, and one at odds with many things. he is always extreme in whatever he may be doing, and his supposedly 'nasty' looks can be very misleading.

Die was born in Mie, Sagittarius if you believe in astrology, and is straightforward, talkative, and able to joke and make the others laugh at anytime. He is said to be kind and gentle, though he tends to disagree. He likes to tease the others, particularly Shinya, who seems to be the easiest to tease. Die is guitarist and sometime songwriter for the group, having written the music for one of my favourite tracks, the mournful 304 goushitsu, Hakushi no Sakura, as well as the more upbeat Yokan, the hard and powerful Schwein no Isu and Children, and the lively Wake and Audrey.

TOSHIYA
Toshiya - bassist
Birthdate - 31/03/1977
Bloodtype - B
Height - 178cm (5'10")


Toshiya is the vibrant and childish one, full of energy and always ready to play. The feminine of all, he nonetheless holds endless boyish delight and seems to love nothing more than having fun.

Toshiya was born in Nagano, Aries if you believe in astrology, and perhaps the most open and forthcoming with his emotions and feelings. When he is happy, you know about it; his beaming grin shows it all. And when something really touches him, you know it too.. he is quite prone to crying about it! (It's very sweet.) Of them all, Toshiya is the most beautiful in a feminine way, and often dresses to show that off, yet he belies this appearance with his boyish antics. He is the bassist for Dir en grey, and a very talented one at that; he has also written Erode and egnirys cimredopyh +) an injection

SHINYA
Shinya - drummer
Birthdate - 24/02/1978
Bloodtype - B
Height - 170cm (5'7")


Shinya is the "baby" of Dir en grey, the youngest and quietest member. His serious expressions and stoic silence mark him as difficult to understand, hard to get to know, and it is a rare occasion to see his pouting face smiling. Tall and slim

Shinya was born in Osaka, Pisces if you believe in astrology, and is the the most difficult member of Dir en grey to really learn anything about. He is constantly quiet, much more unlikely to answer questions, and never really volunteers any information about himself. In fact it was 6 months before the other members found out what his phone number was as he refused to give it to them! He is also much more serious, slower to smile, and as a result the most likely to get teased. (Particularly by Die. ) But of them all he is said to be the strongest and most willful. He is Dir en grey's drummer, and also has tried his hand at songwriting, having written the music for Toriko, Yurameki and Hotarubi. His music, young and fresh, shows his natural talent, and is improving with time; it will surely continue to do so.
He's the best member of the group techincally.

X JAPAN


PROFILE
X was the first Visual Kei band to perform in Tokyo Dome three nights in a row when every single ticket had been sold. Before, Buck Tick had held the record, though they were only sold out for one performance in Tokyo Dome.

The idea behind the band was, basically, to do anything which would shock the audience. At the time, their motto was "Psychedelic Violence - Crime of Visual Shock." This means that X Japan are seen as the forefathers of Visual Kei, although before them there were bands which pursued a similar concept. However, none of these bands could live up to the success of X Japan.

The band began with the music style of pure heavy metal, very typical of the 1980s! On the other hand, the band also played a lot of ballads. Most of these ballads were very piano-heavy, and played by the drummer/pianist Yoshiki. It was one of these ballads which eventually caused X Japan's breakthrough as one of the most famous bands in Japanese music - Art of Life, which is 28 minutes and 59 seconds long.

Over the years, the band's style changed, diverting away from Visual Kei. X Japan's music became much more varied, and with that Yoshiki's true talents shone through much more easily.

BIOGRAPHY
It was way back in 1980 that Yoshiki and Toshi (two childhood friends) formed a band known as Noise. Two years later, they changed their name to X and began their ascension into rock history. They began by performing at clubs and such with the help of random musicians, gathering quite the underground following in the process. They eventually had tracks on certain rock compilations, which only helped to expand their already-growing fan base. In 1987, they recruited hide, Pata and Taiji to complete their line-up and make it official.

The boys were a crowd favorite, but still couldn’t find a record label interested in their music. Believing in her son’s abilities, Yoshiki’s mom sold the family business and gave him the money. He created Extasy Records and released Vanishing Vision, X’s first official album. It made a large impact on the metal scene, but failed to grab Japan’s attention. “Violent” music wasn’t what the country wanted to hear. However, the metal heads were so into it that Sony Records Japan took notice and gave the quintet a record deal.

LOUDNESS



PROFILE
Loudness are the pioneers and mainstays of Japanese metal. Internationally, they are the most recognized Japanese rock band, having toured every major continent since the beginning of their career. Their early material is standard 80s rock/metal, but lately they’ve opted for a more aggressive sound.

The band’s line-up changed often during the height of their success, even incorporating American vocalist Mike Vescera and Taiji of X-Japan fame. However, the band returned to its original line-up in 2000.

LINE UP
Guitar : Akira Takasaki
Vocal : Minoru Niihara
Drums : Munetaka Higuchi
Bass : Masayoshi Yamashita
Bass : Taiji [gone : 1994]
Bass : Naoto Shibata [gone : 2000]
Vocal : Mike Vescera [gone : 1991]
Vocal : Masaki Yamada [gone : 2000]
Drums : Hirotsugu Homma [gone : 2000]

BIOGRAPHY
Loudness was created in May 1981, comprised of drummer Munetaka Higuchi and guitarist Akira Takasaki (both ex-Lazy), vocalist Minoru Niihara (ex-Earthshaker) and bassist Masayoshi Yamashita.

Seeing as ¾ of the band were experienced musicians, the band went directly into studios and released their debut album, The Birthday Eve, in November 1981. This album created Japanese rock history as being the first “true” heavy metal album released in the Land of the Rising Sun, courtesy of Takasaki’s shredding and Niihara’s relentless vocals.
