Kyono

Hiroshi Kyono (born March 31, 1969 in Yokohama, Japan) is the vocalist for [a=The Mad Capsule Markets].

Since the release of the breakthrough Mad Capsule Market album Oscillator in Distortion, his popularity as a vocalist increased, and he contributed vocals to several of [a=Joujouka]'s songs, [a=Sasori] and [a=The Crystal Method]'s Weapons Of Mad Distortion (which was featured during the Dracula/Blade fight scene in Blade Trinity). When The Mad Capsule Markets were put on hiatus in 31 March 2006 (Kyono announced this on his birthday) Kyono created the WAG DUG unity website where he often posts diary entries of his latest DJ livesets in Japan and work on other projects, such as the wag dug clothing line. His recent musical activity includes appearing on the Death Note movie soundtrack with a song he contributes vocals to called HAKAI (Deathtroy). This track also features Sid Wilson of Slipknot fame.

In 2007, Kyono released a mini album Nu Riot under the name of [a=Wagdug Futuristic Unity]. The album is considered as Kyono's solo project and not a new band as it featured guest appearances as opposed to a constant line up throughout the tracks. Guest appearances include; [a=Shitdisco], Ultra Brain, Motor, [a=DJ Starscream] and [a=Cycheouts G].

In June 2008, Kyono announced that a full length album HAKAI was released on July 23, 2008.
