Kiyoharu and Hyde
Aug. 8th, 2007 10:41 pmGood evening. My first post ever to this community but I have been a lurker for a long time and enjoyed your great posts :) (sorry for all grammar faults, I'm not a native speaker)
I'll try to give proper credit everywhere I can - If someone feels offended by whatever reason, I'll delete the links of course!
Some may know that Kiyoharu (former SADS and Kuroyume, now solo) was close friends with L'Arc~en~Ciel and especially with Hyde in 1992/1993. They performed together (the Youtube Video) and there was even a rumour about Hyde and Kiyoharu living together. Stressing the word rumour..
Kiyoharu seemed to have a soft spot for Hyde (not in the lovey-dovey way) and there was this nice little photoshoot~
Yacchan from Pieces Board posted them



.. and there was this little column entitled HYDE x Kiyoharu's dangerous talk published in the SHOXX magazine 1993 (they were talking about another band), taken from THE ARK, translation by bluebird -
Kiyoharu: The vocalist is good friend of mine. Please go to see them.
HYDE: ...I feel a little bit jealous. (laugh)
Kiyoharu: Oh, no. There's no feeling to him like I feel for you. (laugh) But he is my old friend and he is really nice, you know.
HYDE: Don't answer me like that. You make me blush. (laugh)
Kiyoharu: I'm sorry. (laugh) I read the last issue the other day, and I thought, oh, these our conversations are dangerous! (laugh)
HYDE: (laugh)
Kiyoharu: Anyway.. time to stop now.
HYDE: Please look forward to read the next issue.^^
In a different interview (same year) Kiyoharu stated that he respected L'Arc and described his desire to get their "vibe".
Found here, translation probably by Kurai.
--What other bands do you respect?
Kiyoharu: L'arc-en-ciel. In music L'arc, and with shows Gargoyle. When those types of bands come up on the news, you see how intricate their shows are, their stage performance and music are able to expand.. in a different sense, people who understand that can also understand the art of it, I think.
--Do you want to make Kuroyume's stage presence like that also?
Kiyoharu: Yeah, it may be just because I'm the vocalist, but... I want it to take on that feeling.
And then - Nothing. No open contact anymore. No photos, no lives, no references. It's a huge mystery to me and that's why I really need any information you can gather ^_^
Wild guessing starts now~ When Kiyoharu still seemed on good terms with Laruku/Hyde Sakura wasn't a part of the band yet. And I can't lose the feeling of Kiyoharu playing kinda the same role for Hyde like Sakura later did. Please don't get me wrong, I don't have any slashy opinions there, but Sakura and Hyde had always this pretty close relationship aka friendship and this lovely banters (like I would have with one of my female friends) going on between them. Maybe there was some hurt, some jealousy.. I dunno, sadly :(
I just read in this comm that Kiyoharu bashed L'Arc openly and that they aren't on good terms anymore (and that would be understandable) On the other hand Ken was the support guitarist for Kiyoharu's first solo album in 2004. Weird.
Post got really long and I hope I haven't bored anyone to death. Just had to get that off my chest. Would be great if this whole "thing" won't stay a total secretotherwise I'll have to read or write some steamy slash fanfiction *cough*.
Edit: Does someone has that particular article/interview where the dislike started? Thank you very much in advance.
