1) Band: Since Yvelines College where the two brothers Fabien and Florian Dubos and their two friends Nicolas Chassagne and Benoît Poher discovered that they shared the same passion for Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Rage, Soundgarden... and the graphic universe of Japanese mangas, Kyo has existed. The four boys honed their talents in concerts at schools and various venues in the Paris area. In 97, they met their future manager, who, convinced of their potential, got the band their first contract with Sony edition. The professional adventure was set in concrete with their entry as the first local signature in the Jive/repertory Zomba France. 2003 was definitely KYO's year. The French pop quartet was nominated numerous times at NRJ's annual music awards, winning best French album, song, and group of the year honors. All the hubbub was over when KYO's second album, Le Chemin (The Way), and its title track/lead single, which dominated the European charts all year and made stars out of the four photogenic fellows from Paris. Nicolas Chassagne, Benoît Poher, and brothers Florian Dubos and Fabien Dubos had already made a splash with their self-titled début in 2000, but it was the textured, slightly electronicized pop of "Le Chemin" -- a duet with Dutch songstress Sita -- that really established their slick, Depeche Mode-meets-BBMak sound.
2)Solo artist: 京 (Kyo) is a current member of Dir en grey, has also released his own solo work, accompanied by books of his poems.
3)Solo artist: Another Kyo is a prominent figure of the Japanese rock scene. Kyo has provided vocals for many bands since the explosion in Japanese rock bands of the 80's, including Yokosuka Saver Tiger, D'erlanger, die in cries and most recently BUG, in addition to a solo career spanning seven albums and eleven years.
4) Solo artist: Korean artist with a new album " KYO 1st Single Album (DCALCOMANIE)"
5) Kyo is the experimental brainchild of Copenhagen-based artist and composer Frederik Valentin and Hannes Norrvide of synth provocateurs Lust for Youth. Together they released a handful of tapes and records through Copenhagen's Posh Isolation.
6) A Eurodance act form the early 1990s, hich had a minor hit with the song "Keep in touch with life"
7) Japanese electronic music producer / DJ who mainly produces UK Garage & Bassline, based in Tokyo, Japan.

Dernière Danse
Kyo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Effleuré cent fois son visage
J'ai trouvé de l'or
Et même quelques étoiles en essuyant ses larmes
J'ai appris par cœur la pureté de ses formes
Parfois, je les dessine encore
Elle fait partie de moi
Je veux juste une dernière danse
Avant l'ombre et l'indifférence
Un vertige puis le silence
Je veux juste une dernière danse
Je l'ai connu trop tôt mais c'est pas d'ma faute
Et la flèche a traversé ma peau
C'est une douleur qui se garde
Qui fait plus de bien que de mal
Mais je connais l'histoire
Il est déjà trop tard, dans son regard
On peut apercevoir, qu'elle se prépare
Au long voyage
Je veux juste une dernière danse
Avant l'ombre et l'indifférence
Un vertige puis le silence
Je veux juste une dernière danse
Je peux mourir demain, ça ne change rien
J'ai reçu de ses mains
Le bonheur ancré dans mon âme
C'est même trop pour un seul homme
Je l'ai vue partir sans rien dire
Il fallait seulement qu'elle respire, merci
D'avoir enchanté ma vie
Avant l'ombre et l'indifférence
Un vertige puis le silence
Je veux juste une dernière danse
J'ai longtemps parcouru son corps
Effleuré cent fois son visage (une dernière danse)
J'ai trouvé de l'or
Et même quelques étoiles en essuyant ses larmes
(Une dernière danse) j'ai appris par cœur
La pureté de ses formes (une dernière danse)
Parfois, je les dessine encore
Elle fait partie de moi
The lyrics to Kyo's song Dernière Danse describe a deep, passionate love that the singer has for someone. He has explored every inch of her body, caressed her face many times, and found pure gold and even stars as he wiped away her tears. He has learned by heart the purity of her form and sometimes still draws it. She is a part of him, and he asks for one last dance before the shadow and indifference come, causing a vertigo and then silence. He explains that he met her too soon, and it was not his fault, and that the arrow has pierced his skin, causing him to keep the pain that does more good than harm. He knows the story, and it is already too late; in her eyes, he can see that she is preparing for the long journey. He can die tomorrow, but it doesn't matter because she has given him happiness that is anchored in his soul. He watched her go, without saying anything, knowing that she needed to just breathe. He thanks her for enchanting his life, and he asks for a final dance before the shadows and indifference come.
The song speaks about how love can change a person's life and how sometimes it may be too late for it to work out. The lyrics capture the passion, longing, and sadness that comes with the end of a relationship. The singer describes the pain of knowing that the person he loves is leaving, but at the same time, he is grateful for the time they had together.
