[1] marks yelps and short trills in high range or anacrusis and short dips in low range.
[2] marks notes of questionable identity that cannot be confirmed to be the singer in question.
[3] marks non-melodic notes that don't have a significant enough pitch to warrant inclusion.
[4] marks notes that possess uncertain pitch or have been pitch-shifted.
[5] marks possibly inhaled notes.

Pretty sure all of the highass screeches are inhales, but I'm not 100% sure on the pitches and octaves of every single one of them. I'm not entirely sure whether the F5 screams on "Defective in Product (Cease Exist Ver.)" are inhaled or exhaled. Either way, you're not supposed to count those notes on his range so I think it's fine?

A few of their songs were remade a couple of times:
"Tsuyu Kusa no Iro no": The first version released in 2010 as a stand-alone demo/single, and then released on another demo/single together with "Mushikago" in 2011. The second version was released on the "Hoshin to Warau" single in 2012.
"Monokuri no Kanaria": The first version was released in 2011 as a stand-alone demo/single. The second was released on the Ideological Suicide album in 2013.
"Mushikago": The first version was released as a single/demo in 2011. The second was released on the Ideological Suicide album in 2013.
"Mayakashi ni Nagi": The first version was released in a 2012 split with Golbeza called Dogma. The second was released on the Ideological Suicide album in 2013.
"Invite": The first version was released as a stand-alone single in 2012. The second was released for free on their website in late 2012, then later included in a 2013 split with Redrum called Blame the Redemption.
"Not Worth a D__n": The first version was released in the 2012 single Grave Marker. The second was released for free on their website in late 2012.
"Fuki": The first version was released in the 2012 single of the same name. The second was released for free on their website in late 2012.

Despite being labeled as"Defective in Product (Cease Exist Ver.)" I don't think any other version of the song exists.

{Vocal Summary}Hinata is a former japanese vocalist, known for his work (on the somewhat oddly-named) visual kei rock/metal band llll-Ligro- (between the years of 2010 and 2013 and then from 2017 to 2018), and as well as the (even more oddly-named) project called 時限式:uadjet (read as in "jigenshiki:uadjet") during the time Ligro was innactive. With Ligro being one of the various groups formed after the vastly influential band Dir en Grey took an stylistic shift from more "conventional" japanese rock to a very experimental and progressive style, Hinata definitely wears his biggest influence (Kyo, the singer of Dir en Grey) on his sleeve and he's very proud to show it. With a penchant for quickly changing through a very wide array of often unconventional vocal styles, especially in the extreme vocals departament, Hinata's most distinctive feature vocally-wise is his combinination of both exhaled and inhaled harsh vocal techniques. Interestingly though, in a rather uncommon fashion for j-rock -and specially in the very high singing-centric style of bands inspired by Dir en Grey- Hinata gives a very big focus on his lower register, which possesses a surprisingly boomy quality for the style, and which he can extend through the entire second octave and even reach the first. His high range, on the other hand, has a lighter, vaguely nasal sound, and again evidencing his Kyo influence, tends to have a intense, somewhat forced belted approach, which often results in audible vocal strain.

Considering the extremely technically-unsafe approach to vocals his main vocal idol Kyo had, it's no surprise how much his voice deteriorated and how many episodes of vocal problems he had through the years. In a somewhat ironic way, but perhaps not surprisingly, Hinata also developed vocal problems that seriously hindered his hability to sing and perform live. Shortly after Ligro coming back from a 4 years hiatus, Hinata was diagnosed with acute corditis (an inflamation of vocal cords), which resulted in the band cancelling all the planned live activities, and in a very controversial decision, cancelling the release of their antecipated upcoming album Tomurai (弔) and with him leaving the band and the music scene, causing the band to end.
