Kaoru
From generasia
Kaoru is one of the guitarists, along with Die, of the Japanese band DIR EN GREY. Kaoru's musical influence was the late hide (Hideto Matsumoto) from X JAPAN. His style of playing guitar, unlike Die, is rather smooth; he prefers headbanging than running around the stage. Kaoru is the main composer for DIR EN GREY and has the final say in matters concerning the band, which may be the key to their continually growing success.
