For me, Kyo not only inspired me but helped me discover my love for music in general. My other vocal inspirations are hazuki, ruki, mao, sho from [band erased from internet history] and a few others with less influence over me like lime and akane.

I am not a musician, but that’s a great question and I am really curious who everyone looks up to.

It goes without saying N.T.T. FUCKS wouldn’t be what it is without Akira Nakayama, or Ryutarou Arimura.
Seriously, check out anything off of “horizon dancing below”.
N.T.T. FUCKS is even the old name of Plastic Tree before they became Purachan. We’re also very proud of the roots/influences we have from Angura-Kei/Nagoya-kei bands like Inugami Circus-dan, cali≠gari, and emmuree. Very on the sleeve.

Definitely Kyo, if that much wasn’t obvious.
For composing it’s Mazashi Hamauzu, Uematsu, Eddie Marianukroh

I forgot to mention the band that originally got me into music and Japan, basically altering my entire life, was Mad Capsule Markets. Kaoru says they’re one of his influences too.
