I'm a bass player also, but Toshiya has really disappointed me lately. Kaoru on the other hand, still has -some- flare that I can enjoy, so I chose him instead.

Then he can take that, and go into a deep growl. Two opposite sides of the vocal spectrum there people, and that means a good range.

Agreed.
On some tracks on the new album he goes really, REALLY high and then the next second he does some of the most awesome growling I've ever heard.
Almost everyone I know who likes Dir en grey didn't like Kyo at first (including me) but when I understood his thing I fell totally in love with his singing.
