plus this :

equals their look 

Did he wear a face mask to the ceremony?

I get the impression that this label demands way too much from both Kiryu and Royz. They keep releasing new stuff every other month and seem to be perpetually touring since they got signed to BPR  many years ago and it doesn't seem like they get any vacations or whatever, except for the occasional sightseeing and going out to drink while touring, but even this gets documented by the label. 
 
Oddly enough, the quality of their material doesn't go down,  at least IMO.

Here I am with another piece of information only I can be  bothered with contribute with probably.
 
Ex-EVE Takeru (and now CLACK inc.) has two twin brothers (named Yuu and Kaname) who are also vocalists. They're currently a pop-rock duo called TWiN PARADOX, but they've been in several indie rock bands in the Osaka scene, such as 80/TRACK, which had a techno/dance/rock sound and somewhat a vk-ish aesthetic.
 
They opened for EVE  a couple times, even though they of course used to deny their relationship (not fooling anyone most likely since they look like a triplet almost lol)
 
Here's the three brothers back in the EVE/80/TRACK DAYS:

 
 
And them in their most recent picture:
 
 

This gotta be one of the ugliest outfits in VK history.
