takowasara:
… and the rest/ details (no literal interpretation; just to let you know) According to a person involved, Kyo already had high fever early in the morning of the 13th of May (40°C). He collapsed and they brought him to hospital, diagnosing him there with tonsillitis. The doctors ordered him to…
For Americans who are sketchy on the metric system, 40C equals 104F. ):

takowasara:
Die: When we went to Universal Studios Orlando on our last tour, I went with Shinya to the roller coasters. I wanted to ride one and since he was like “Uh, ok…”, I said “Let’s go! Are you scared?”. He insisted that he wasn’t and so we went. I put my arm tight around his shoulders [since he…

Shoxx Vol. 68
Interviewer: Please tell us your first impressions of each member when you met them for the first time.
Die: The first time I met Shinya was when my previous previous band was doing a live together. But even if I was in the same place as him, I didn't notice him and I don't think he noticed me either. And when it was certain that he was going to join my previous band, we spoke for the first time. But still Shinya only replied 'yes' (laugh).
Interviewer: But now you all seem as if you were brothers.
Die: No, but recently I haven't spoken to him much.
Kaoru: That's not true. We talk quite a lot in the car.
Die: But it might just be because I haven't made him angry. We only talk about normal stuff so I don't feel as I have had contact with him, I feel like I haven't spoken to him (laugh).
Kaoru: Because you haven't made him cross (laugh)? In my case I first met him when I was asked to join Kyo and Shinya's band, which is the band before Dir en grey and went to see their band. Even if I talked to Shinya he always replied me casually. My first impression of him was that he was like a boy. His hair was also short still.
Die: Oh yes, he was still young wasn't he? He was still going to school. He used to appear in studios wearing his school uniform.
Kaoru: Yes, he looked really childish to me. After we finish in the studio, me and Shinya go on the same train for 3 to 4 stations and so whenever I tried to speak to him he would always act as if I was a stranger and I was troubled, because it was as if he wasn't a band member (laugh).
Die: I once too had to go to the train station with him and we never spoke a word to each other. Our train went different directions so I had no idea what to talk about and I remember wishing the train came quickly.
Kaoru: When we were waiting for the train I said things such as "We still have time, shall we sit on the bench?" (laugh).
Die: That's a bit like a first date with someone! (laugh)
Kaoru: Yes, yes it was like that. (laugh)

Shoxx Vol. 68
Interviewer: So you both met Toshiya-kun in your previous band.
Kaoru: Yes, I think when we went on tour in our previous band we met him.
Die: No, it was before when we were going to do a live in the same live house as Toshiya and he came to greet us. The first time I saw their live I didn't know his name, but my impression of him was that he was the guy who had blue hair and was pretty thin.
Kaoru: He was tall, pretty thin and his hair was blue. When he came to do the greeting, he didn't have any make up on. And because his face looks fairly childish/young I got the impression that he was young. We didn't talk to him then, but when I went to Nagano and saw his live, I got a strong impression that his playing was a lot to do with performance. Then after the live, our band and Toshiya's band went to do fireworks. I didn't really want to do fireworks (laugh).
Die: I was sleeping in the car then.
Kaoru: So when me and Kyo-kun were gazing into space because we didn't want to do fireworks Toshiya came to talk to us. This was the first time I had ever spoken to him and he started questioning us like "Is your band doing well?". He wanted to get out of the band he was in currently and start his own. But he kept asking quite deep and personal questions such as "Are your band members close?". His hair was still in a ponytail as it was in the live and he looked innocent and cute, but I remember thinking that he wasn't all he looked (laugh).
Die: I have no recollection at that time, but once when he came to Tokyo to do a live we met in a café. I talked to him for the first time and I got the feeling that he was a sensible person who could speak normally.
Kaoru: When you talk to him, he does seem quite normal. But because he's so tall he stands out a lot. He once came to see my previous band's live in Osaka. We told him not to stand out much because we had already started discussing making a new band called Dir en grey, but because he is tall, his head stuck out above the crowd (laugh). At that time his hair was blue and mine was also so he was often mistaken to be me (laugh). And then the fans starting asking why Toshiya from Nagano had come and then a rumor started that we were going to play together (laugh). I wanted him to watch our live without standing out.
