Amidst all the screaming, growling, and intense head-banging going on in visual kei music, resides the sweet and caring persona that all people have, and proof of this is the video shown above. Despite his crazy make-up and menacing eyes, The Black Swan’s drummer Ren, goes home to not a dark room full of Metal related things, but to the cutest and tiniest cat ever, Kotetsu.
Japanese television channel, TBS, visited Ren’s house in order to find out in-depth how he takes care of this stray cat he found outside his window one day, but not before being revealed how Ren looks without his make-up. Surprisingly enough, he takes care of him extremely well, from feeding him milk from a bottle, to cleaning the cat’s bottom after it goes to the restroom.
Afterwards, the panel of the show all seem surprised to see such character taking care of a stray cat; some even declared themselves fans of Ren after watching him on video. For fans of THE BLACK SWAN, you will be interested to know that Ren takes off his make-up in this video!
Its pretty refreshing to see this side of our favorite J-rockers, huh? It goes to show that one should really never judge a book by its cover, you never know what is going on in the lives of someone you don’t know well.
