This is kinda random, but I came across this post a second ago and found it hilarious!  There's a lot of stupid crap in humour comms that's not at all funny, but every once in a while you find an observation that rings true, like this one about Kyo of Diru's new hairstyle.

ROFL!!! XD the last picture is so wrong!  Haah, but I've always found it amusing that as Dir en grey's music has grown harder and more metal influenced, Kyo's look has become increasingly less and less hardcore.  Though the band ditched the visual-kei aesthetics, the members have been adopting a typical metal band look (band t-shirts, leather jackets, constant dark sunglasses, long unruly/shaved hair, goatees, etc.).  But I mean, from the darkest, heaviest metal artists donned in studs and leather to those who don't bother with appearances and go around in disheveled t-shirts and jeans...tracksuits and fluffy soft hair just DO NOT WORK. 
Sure, a lot of metal artists have long hair, but it tends to be all wild and unkempt, not super smooth like something out of a shampoo commercial! >.<  That hairstyle works for pop idols and maybe some oshare-kei bands, but seriously...despite the hair's headbanging potential, it doesn't quite match Diru's mission to make screaming, thrashing, soul-crushingly despairing, hardcore music. -_-lll  It seems Kyo has yet again been defeated by the fluffy cuteness factor...maybe he's just given up? ^_^;

Here's another tidbit of fun...an good impersonation of Hirai Ken's 'POP STAR' (though the original itself is funny enough, really...check it out if you don't already know it...it makes me smile, heehee).
