D'espairsRay FAN Q&A
How did you hear about D'espairsRay? At the end of October 2006 I read in the EMP catalogue that a Japanese band called D'espairsRay would play in a town nearby, and since I had just started being interested in Jrock, I thought I'd give them a try and searched on youtube for some clips.
Wich song/clip and what did you think of it? the first vid I saw was the BORN PV and I instantly loved it! It was different from the stuff I'd heard before (MUCC, Gackt) and I welcomed the darkness and aggression!^^
What was your first impression of HIZUMI? cool outfit, styling and make-up, powerful and aggressive voice AND his mic stand is similar to the one from the singer of KoRn!^^
What was your first impression of Karyu? a bit creepy and therefore freakin' sexy!!! *purr*
What was your first impression of ZERO? woah, he looks freaky!! O_O ... ^_^
What was your first impression of TSUKASA? energetic and skillful drummer, but I couldn't really see his face so I paid little attention to him >_>
Still think the same? well, I soon realized that they're more dorky than creepy, and in the past year they all lost their dark touch - which is a shame... v_v
You've been a fan for how long? 21 months!^^
Is there a precise reason of why you love D'espairsRay? with their music and the way they present themselves, they stand out from the big mass of VK bands (of course there are other awesome bands, too!)
