Creepy Cool Crosses has been renamed to Creepy Crosses as per this TRS threadZero Context Examples and examples that don’t fit the trope will be removed. The trope is about crosses being used as a symbol of the occult.

Dewicking Bi The Way per the Trope Repair Shop thread.


* BiTheWay: Take a look around his blog. He seems to be an Music/AdamLambert fanboy and comments on how attractive he is, and some of the feelings he expressed for Music/MunetakaHiguchi sound like he was in love with him or had feelings for him. Plus some of his comments on former vocalist Masaki Yamada seem rather odd, such as his calling Masaki "cute" in one interview. Though he is also divorced with a six year old son...

Linking to this page isn't supposed to happen any more, not even for YMMV examples. If it's in-universe, it's the Fetish trope.


* IntercourseWithYou: Seems to be a pet subject of his, having wrote almost all of Loudness's songs about the matter, and several solo songs, most infamously "69" from his band XYZ->A. Whether this is FetishFuel or FetishRetardant is up to you.

* VisualKei: He tried it as a look with XYZ-A in the late 90s, since another member of the band was. Whether he failed spectacularly or not is very much up to the fan.

'''Minoru Niihara''' (born 1961) is a Japanese vocalist best known for being one of the core members of Music/{{Loudness}}. Originally the bassist and vocalist of Earthshaker, Niihara left before the band took off. He left Loudness once in 1988 and was reunited with the band in 2001. Niihara has been Loudness' most famous singer throughout and has several solo projects.

[[WMG: Tropes encompassing Minoru Niihara include:]]
* AuthorAppeal: IntercourseWithYou and Anti War songs seem to be the main game for him.
* BigBeautifulMan: From 2000 onward he seemed to have become this, as of 2010 he has gone back to normal weight.
* BigEater: Look at his blog. [[TooMuchInformation (Or don't if you don't want to hear about his bowel movements.)]]
* BiTheWay: Take a look around his blog. He seems to be an Music/AdamLambert fanboy and comments on how attractive he is, and some of the feelings he expressed for MunetakaHiguchi sound like he was in love with him or had feelings for him.

* HarshVocals: Minoru's vocal style is best described as "[[Music/{{Accept}} Udo Dirkenschnider]] meets [[Music/JudasPriest Rob Halford]]."
* IntercourseWithYou: Seems to be a pet subject of his, having wrote almost all of Loudness's songs about the matter, and several solo songs, most infamously "69" from his band XYZ->A. Whether this is FetishFuel or FetishRetardant is up to you.
* VocalEvolution: Or not, depending on your POV. Since 2001 Niihara's voice has taken on a much harsher, screechier sound, which works on some songs, others not.
