Die-san:
When asked to list his 3 most precious things, Die responded with: 1. Dir en Grey; 2. fans; 3. staff
When asked to say something to each of his bandmates, Die responded with: Kyo, please don't pierce any more holes! Kaoru, get a haircut! Toshiya, please fix your room. Shinya, for how long do you intend to hide yourself?"
Die describes his most blissful moment of the day as right before he goes to sleep. He frequently has nightmares, so before he goes to sleep, he tells himself "I am going to sleep now; whatever happens after, however terrifying, will only be nightmares."
Die's nightmares are usually about running for life with friends. His friends "run speedily" while he runs slow like he has "eaten some lard."
Favorite time of year is the Christmas season.
Die loves drinking with his younger brother, quite often to the point where he babbles incoherently and is too drunk to leave the bar.
Die describes himself as "baka."
Audrey is his signature song.
At the Tokyo NKH Hall concert there was a large pink rat head sitting just in front of Shinya`s drums. Die kept looking at it near the end of the show, debating popping it on his head, but it wasn`t built as a mask, so he had to forget that idea.
Die likes getting things from the fans that he can use. Like underwear. Apparently a fan once sent him some.
Die is very straightforward and talkative, yet he is the "joker"; he can make any of the other members laugh at any time. He teases Shinya mercilessly.
Die does not like sashimi or seafood; he likes Western food, especially Italian.
Die likes cute girls with big eyes. When he was younger he was very nervous and shy, especially when he had to talk to girls.
He has a black belt in Kendo. He took it from elementary to high school, then stopped when he learned to play guitar because there was not enough time for both.
Of all the band members, Die is the one most likely to count calories.
