DIE IN CRIES

In Cries was made up of Kyo(formerly of the largly influential Visual Kei band D’ERLANGER, and Saver Tiger with hide of X-Japan) on Vocals, Shin Murohime(ex. MAD CAPSULE MARKETS) on guitar, Takashi on bass, and Yukihiro(ex. Zi:Kill) on Drums. Following their breakup in 1997 the members all went on to play in other bands. The most prominant and well known of these is most likely Yukihiro who was recruited to play for the popular band L’arc~en~ciel. Kyo, Shin and Takashi all went on to form BUG, with Shin later leaving to play for SPIN and the session band Creature Creature featuring Morrie of DEAD END and Tetsu of L’arc~en~Ciel.

While Die In Cries was a success in Japan, their time of activity was such that they were not able to reach a wider international audience. For this reason, many modern visual kei and japanese rock fans outside of Japan are unaware of the band, and they have inadvertantly been portrayed as a smaller less sucessful act than what they were.
