General mysterious band "sukekiyo"

[Wonrei 108]

yeah, by the setlists they didn't even play daemon's cutlery (the song we just listened to). the sets were probably acoustic only and have that folk atmosphere. I mean, deg has some varied range of songs on their albums, why wouldn't kyo's side band have it too?

and this is clearly a live bootleg . 

 

 

How so?

 

 

EDIT: And it seems like the ones happier about this Kyo project are the other band members themselves.

[sebbivism 134]

Well just in a couple of hours we all can purchase "aftermath" music clip and see if that one sounds better than that crappy deamons cutlery...

 

I got so excited yesterday when I read on DIR EN GREYs official site that Kyo will do a side project together with band members from RENTRER EN SOI, kannivalism and 9GOATS, like... are this happening for real? But once again maybe we should remind each other that this is a Kyo side project and there will probably be a lot of strange things going on musically. Like, we shouldn't seriously don't have too high expectations musically. I think sukekiyo is a project where Kyo can experiment and go crazy musically, in a way it's not possible with DIR EN GREY. Probably sukekiyo will be directly connected to his upcoming photo books. 

 

I think it's great that Kyo is making his side project completely separated from DIR EN GREY in every way, but I hope this will not take DIR EN GREY to other directions than what they should've done if sukekiyo was not formed.

Just watched their PV.
I'm surprised, it is incredibly touching. 

[miyuu 40]

this sounds like 9goats to me.

(so my opinion is similar, i always preferred deg than 9goats . i was never a big fan of their sound. the opposite
 to everyone else on this forum that loved them. i never got it at all.
 lucky 9goats fans.)

i like the music but not so much the voice
as i have said before i personally don't like high pitched voice, he is doing there

[relentless 254]

Not bad. I'm starting to enjoy this a bit more.

[Pretsy 1343]

It's not really folky/ambient-y but I can see where those claims come from though. It has some of DEG, some of Kannivalism, some of RES and some of 9Goats. Ultimate combo tbqh!

[Wonrei 108]

^I actually get huge ambient vibes. I mean, for most of the song you can barely notice kyo is there, he is almost like another instrument. And the song is just "there", there aren't any climaxes or anything it just goes on and on. It's very ambient in those senses. And the folk vibes are specially noticeable on the "bridge" (if you can call 3:00 that). wonder how the other songs on the ep sound like

[bonsaijodelfisch 328]

it has a nice flow and atmosphere to it, but something is really off with those harmonies (don't know if there's actually "wrong" notes, or just somehow unfavorably executed vocal/bass-lines) ...

[DeithX252 1266]

it sounds obscure, I don't know I will like it or not, just decent

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Not bad, tho I liked the crazy song much better. xD

3:47 and on would be considered the climax. The song enters and develops as fragments, and it's at this point where everything comes together. It's not bombastic. Through subtlety the music rises and comes to a close; but it's very "mellow".

[Bear 1817]

Yes, this is more along the lines of what I expected. Beautiful song with a great atmosphere. Amazing!

[miyuu 40]

i get ambient and mellow too as something i would described it lol. i was never a fan of ambient so i can't say much though

[Wicked Teletubby 528]

loved it. wow.

 

what's that instrument dude's playing with fingers and a fiddlestick?

[Zeus 7997]

And this is why quality matters! This is much, much better than the preview I heard yesterday.

[platanity 99]

holy shit. that was beautiful .

it is beyond beauty .

it is nice to hear something melancholic and indigenous .

but yes, it could've been better if kyo would've 'controlled' using high pitch voice .

but still, i am looking very forward to this project .

[Prophet 168]

That was really good in my opinion, so obscure indeed, but the soothing guitar and the whole gothic~like ambience really gets to me. Nice stuff.

Looking forward for more of their songs.

[nekkichi 6042]

that's one very pretty video on top of a cheezy, boring ass song

he def has confidence in his own stans

[Sakura Seven 593]

I dig it.

[nullmoon 784]

After reading all the negative comments, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hesitant to watch the PV. However I can safely say this is perhaps one of the highlights of my year; the instruments work amazing together and Kyo's singing is beautiful. He hits the high notes pretty damn well and like others have said, this ends up adding to the musical experience instead of saying "here is the vocalist and there's the music". I'm very excited to hear the upcoming EP and impressed by Kyo's decision to go for something different.

[TheBistroButcher666 228]

YEAH YEAH YEAH!!

 

Aftermath is great!

 

Moar plz :> Definitely better than that stupid nyan nyan preview from earlier.

[ghost 2686]

That was lovely.

And the PV was shot beautifully.

 

But, why does Kyo sing in such a high octave where he's not able to sing his best?

No offense but he doesn't have the best falsetto.
