History Music / Die

* FollowTheLeader: A huge fan of [[Music/HidetoMatsumoto hide]] and wanted to be like him (see above).

* AscendedFanboy: Almost in competition with Kaoru in the "who's a better [[Music/HidetoMatsumoto hide]] {{expy}}" contest.

* VisualKei: He has, along with the rest of the band, went post-visual since the release of ''Marrow Of A Bone'', though he has been experimenting with VK once again (as seen in the "Shot In One Take" [=PVs=] for "Rinkaku" and "Kiri to Mayu" where he is seen with dark red hair).

* DyeHard: In the past, candy apple red hair much like hide's. Dropped this once the band went post-visual.

* TheRedStapler: ESP guitars, especially ''that big red guitar''.

Daisuke Andou, known by his stage name [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Die]], is a Japanese Music/HeavyMetal musician and songwriter, best known as the rhythm guitarist (and occasional lead guitarist) of Music/DirEnGrey. Unusually for a rhythm guitarist (who generally gets far less notice than the lead or even the bassist), he became immediately recognized as one of the most famous members of Music/DirEnGrey primarily via MemeticMutation and the like.

!Die provides examples of:
* TheAlcoholic: Has had major problems with alcohol as well as generating almost as many MemeticMutation moments while drunk as his primary [[ArtisticStimulation inspiration]] for guitar playing has.

* {{Biseinen}}
* ButtMonkey: Became this through MemeticMutation.

* {{Expy}}: The other hide clone of Dir en Grey, almost as much, if not more than Kaoru at points.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Has always been. Averted recently, where he was seen with short spiky hair.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Oh yes.

* AnimeHair: His hairstyle in the article picture is only one of the ''many'' crazy styles he has worn over the years.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Has always been, to the point where it can be jarring to see him with short hair.

'''Die provides examples of:'''

* TheBigGuy: Is this to Music/DirEnGrey being the tallest and most "masculine" member of the band, even in their heaviest Visual Kei phases.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Has been shipped with ''everyone''. Never mind that, he is most likely, from all reports, heterosexual. ''Never mind that'', there's fic of him with ''everyone'' from [[GuyOnGuyIsHot Shinya to Kyo to Yoshiki]].

* MemeticMutation: The big red guitar, for one, but others include his armpit hair and "Imma fuckin rockstar bitch."

* TheAlcoholic: Has had major problems with alcohol as well as generating almost as many MemeticMutation moments while drunk as his primary inspiration for guitar playing has.

* StageNames: He goes exclusively by "Die."
* VisualKei: Went post-Visual, but still associated with the scene.

* LauncherOfAMillionShips: Has been shipped with ''everyone'' never mind that he is most likely, from all reports, heterosexual. Never mind that, there's fic of him with everyone from Shinya to Kyo to Yoshiki.
