This is a part from the interview that I mentioned, It took some time to find it but this is what I was talking about:
...
Was it like they were persuing what was right infront of their eyes and they didn't understand the true meaning?
Yeah. I thought they were the real idiots. That's why, from the start, I don't like people. There have only been a few people that I know who wil reveal their true selves and talk. Even in the band I was right beforeDir en grey I didn't have a single friend. (He is probably talking about the band before La:sadies too considering that almost all of the Dir en grey members where there......). But we where pretty popular, even though we only lasted for a year. At a one man we had about 400 people. But I didn't have nay friends. It seems that Toshiya had heard rumours about me, like that I had a fear of oher people. There was a lot of rumours likethat, because I rarely talked. Because of that even when we did interviews with magazines I gave short answers like ツ"yeahツ" and ツ"yesツ". (laughs). I even hated making eye contact and was a really dark person.
Was that because you knew you hadn't made friends?
There were no people who I wanted to be friends with. There wasn't anyone who I thought was cool that I knew. Or, well, there was this girl I was dating in
Kyoto. I think that was the biggest cause of the preblem. At that time that girl was more important to me than bands. I thought I would have to stop bands and get a normal job. This same person that's here right now that that! (laugh) That's a really big thing when you're talkning about me.
Having heard your story about your past I understand what a big decision that was.
Yeah. At that time I was still in a band and I was friends with the guitarist. But right around that time I was thinking about quitting the band and get married, the girl suddenly disappeared, really suddenly. I asked everyone around if they knew where she went. But they all respnded ツ"No, I don't know.ツ". Only the guitarist would talk to me about it. He was like, ツ"Well, it will work out.ツ". For about a week I was constantly to this guy about it. But the girl didn't come back. Then a few years later I found out that the guitarist had been seing that girl. I felt very betrayed. And from then on it was like ツ"I give up on people.ツ"
So having been treated like that by a friend you were no longer able to trust anyone?
I could no longer trust anyone. I wa a really twisted person back then but I didn't tell lies.
Well I told silly lies but I didn't lie to friends. And from that event I recieved the shock that there were people like hat out there. I'm the telling the story out of order but when that girl left me I lost a lot of weight. You can't really get over something like that, right? And all that was left for me was being in a band. The band that was formed at that point was the band right before Dir en grey. But I think I was weighted down for about two years by the shock.
To the point that you couldn't emotionally recover?
Yes. And then that guitarist formed a new band and that girl was staff for that band. And we would meet a lot when we played together and such. That was so, so painful. Again and again I truly felt like I was going to die. At that time I wanted to escape that so there was nothing to do but find another girl.
By escape I guess you mean something like diverting your feelings?
Yeah. And so a friend of mine at that time introduced me to this girl. That girl lived kind of far away so I moved out there. It was like I no longer wanted to see any part of Kyoto. No matter where I looked there where memories of that girlfriend. So i moved out there and started life there.
Poor Kyo...
