Dear SUI様


So..I really wanted to do this.. ^^
I've done my best, hope it will be fun reading it. PLEASE READ IT TILL THE END!

Artist - Sui
Profession - Vocalist/Lyricist
Works - many Session Bands (2002-present)
             - Ghostphobia (2003-2004)
             - Metis Gretel (2004-2008)
             - Megaromania (2008-2013)
             - Lin (2014- present)       
             - has a (bright) future

According to sources he's been active in the visual kei scene since 2002 and started his career under the stage name of “Kyouji". His band Ghostphobia was playing without a label and lasted only a year, after this he changed his stage name to “Sui" and is famously known for his band Megaromania. I love almost all his songs except one- Spiral Humanity/Metis Gretel -because it has an irritating part of voice forwarding in it!

SINGING - Sui has a very beautiful and smooth voice. He can sing both high and low notes, has a tenor quality in his voice, and he sings clearly with words stressed properly. Unlike many husky voices his voice becomes thin at high and low ranges, this mixture of husky thin voice is heavenly to ears (ex- Fluer de Neige/Metis Gretel). His singing style includes dialogic way of singing or talk-singing, sometimes he whispers and makes hissing-like sound too (ex- Sacred Xanadu/Lin). Sui mixes the emotions in singing so well that it seems the voice becomes the expression itself, (ex- Gate Of Prophet/Megaromania) here his voice literally sounds majestic just like the Prophet in the song who's majestic!

SCREAM - I've noted out the variety of screams he does, all sound so amazing! Common scream, grunt or deep-husky scream (mostly sounds like husky woof woof!), shrieks, shrill scream, wavy scream, low range scream (mostly stretched), cracked-voice scream, whisper scream, words-turned-screams, cry-like scream, cry-like fast paced scream (sometimes it genuinely chimes!), echoing and far-reaching scream, choked scream, gasping cry scream (these sound so desperate). In some screams he uses elements, like goblin-like giggle talks (ex- Makai Shinden type2 or Deformity Curse/Metis Gretel), he even literally cries while screaming (ex- Cathedral of Admirer; 1:52-1:56 minutes/Megaromania)

PERSONA - Sui costumes are mostly mixture of Kote-Kote kei and a little of Tanbi kei. His character is either androgynous or female. His persona mostly has a typical expression of unfriendliness which is enticing (due to the eyebrow makeup) and sometimes of an innocent being. He usually dances by moving only his upper body back and forth, does lots of slow hand movements, then swirls, does head banging and swirling.

TRIVIA - The longest he has worked with a fellow artist is Misery/Guitarist since band Metis Gretel till present. About his private life nothing is known (save the fact that he's from Saitama prefecture and is 24 January born), he has cast a spell called “classified" on it!

Sui is a very talented and wonderful artist. If I ever get the chance to meet him then I'll tell him this with due respect- “You're one of the best existences in this world!" OuO  PLEASE CHECK OUT THE ARTIST IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T, SO MUCH WORTH YOUR MUSICAL TASTE!
