Die in Cries (presented as DIE IN CRIES) was a Japanese visual kei rock ensemble active between 1991 and 1995, distinguished by members who played key roles in other prominent bands.
History
Established in Yokohama in 1991, Die in Cries featured vocalist Kyo (formerly of D'erlanger), guitarist Shin (previously with Mad Capsule Markets), bassist Takashi (ex-The Ace), and drummer Yukihiro (formerly of Zi:Kill). Prior to this, Yukihiro and Shin had worked together in the group Optic Nerve. Although they gained considerable recognition within Japan’s visual kei community, their international exposure was more limited compared to some peers.
Following the group's dissolution in 1995, the members embarked on separate musical ventures. Yukihiro went on to join the well-known band L'Arc-en-Ciel. Meanwhile, Kyo, Shin, and Takashi collaborated to form Bug; Shin later became involved with Spin and Creature Creature, a project spearheaded by Morrie from Dead End, which included notable artists such as Tetsuya and Sakura from L'Arc-en-Ciel.
