Dir en grey

[Reita-kun]

No no no, I'm talking about these freaks Fair to Midland and Bleed the Dream.

Oh that! I didnt know what you were talking about for a second... gomen...

Now that is a different story... I dont know why they toured with them... again... I think its popularity!

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

Image is something thats very little on my part... even though they look sexy... what they do with their image is for themselves... all I want is for them to still make awesome music! lol

Sorry for interrupting your conversation ^^"
But i'd like to say something about that *löl*
It's just that i think~ Their music is more important than their images, you're right~ But I still think, Toshiya is the most beautiful man in world, no matter what comes, so~ I'm just looking at their look, even if it isn't that important to me XD ^^
Maybe it's just because Diru themselves changed so much~ as kaoru said in that Interview a few weeks ago...~

[Reita-kun]

No... its ok... interrupt as much as you want...

Yeah... I'm more into their music than they're look... They have changed alot... but they all look hott ^^", I love Kyo-sama... *dies*

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

His body is kinda perfect~ if you don't look that much on the scars ><" I just don't like see him cutting himself ;_; and all that stuff~
I was crying, when he did at the concert i went to ~ ><"

I still love watching new pictures of them~ because I still think they're hot, even if they aren't visual anymore~ ^^

[Reita-kun]

Yeah... I dont like it when he does it either... makes me want to cry... my friend said he did it at the concert that she went to too...

I like seeing new piccus of them all the time... they are hott either way yeah? lol ^^;

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

Hehe~ I found one of Kaoru... just a few days ago and I was like: "What the hell?! .....Oo.. SHIRTLESS?"
Maybe you noticed that Kaoru is never shirtless~ XD

[Reita-kun]

Hehe~ I found one of Kaoru... just a few days ago and I was like: "What the hell?! .....Oo.. SHIRTLESS?"
Maybe you noticed that Kaoru is never shirtless~ XD

What? he is NEVER shirtless! How awesome!

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

@Reita-kun - Touring with those fools is going to make them LOSE popularity!!
@Yumiko_Okahawa - Oh goodness, please don't apologize! The forum is here for everyone to talk!! *hug* I bawled my a*s off at parts of the concert too, their music is amazingly beautiful! He does have really bad scars on his ribs, it is almost painful just looking at them. Uh... wanna share that Kao Kao piccy?

[Reita-kun]

@Reita-kun - Touring with those fools is going to make them LOSE popularity!!

Well, yeah... but I mean like... I think they are trying to gain popularity from another aspect of fans...

Seeing those scars on my Kyo-sama makes me cry... TwT

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

Ah~ just call me Yumi or Yumiko, okay? ^_^

Mau~ I'd just like to, but i can't.... I wanted to share some in the Kagrrathread already but... it doesn't work :(
They just tell me I'm not allowed~ But maybe it works as an attachement? I'll try! ^^

[Riyko]

No no no, I'm talking about these freaks Fair to Midland and Bleed the Dream.

Fair to Midland wasn't one of my favorite bands, but I really liked Bleed the Dream. I understand people don't like them, but you shouldn't call those bands freaks or even say that Diru will lose popularity for touring with them. All in all it's more of an advantage for Dir en grey because at some of the shows because some of the people there only wanted to watch those two bands and in the end wound up liking Dir en grey and gained fans for Diru.

I could of easily taken your comment the wrong way, but after a while I get tired of listening to people say that the opening acts should of been different or they shouldn't of had opening acts. With out the opening acts Diru would of had to perform at least 3 1/2 - 4 hours a show and would of either wound up dead tired from playing that long or ran out of songs to perform.

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

ROFLMAO At first I thought I was being yelled at w/ the capital letters XD LOL I am sorry, please do not be jealous! I just got lucky. But yeah, I didn't wash my hand for a couple days and then I did when I wasn't thinking about it, I was kinda bummed!! LOL *hug*

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

So... did that work with the picture? I hope so~ I get desperate here XD Can you see it?
Toshiyaaaaaa~ *.* Of cpurse I'm kinda jealous (Now I have to think about the song, everytinme I use this word ^^"), Yoko, but~ I think you're lucky and no matter if you wash your hands or not XD You will always remember that ^^ I have to think about a quote I read ... "My memories of you are all the rain can't wash away..." I think, that's true here! ^^

[Saishu]

The average age of the guys in Diru is 30... I think they're beyond the point of being affected by "peer pressure."

I wouldn't worry about them turning into drug addicted and/or alcoholic womanisers.

[Bloodlust]

No no no, I'm talking about these freaks Fair to Midland and Bleed the Dream.

I believe that those two bands are on the same American label. I don't think DEG hand picked them or anything. But I did hear that Toshiya (?) liked Fair to Midland. Maybe he just enjoyed the apparent siezures that vocalist kept having! And what was with the bald spots on his head? Was he trying to hide the fact that the one in the back was so real? Yup, I noticed.

No I dont think that they would do that either... It would give them a bad name...

I did hear somewhere that Toshiya did like Fair to Midland... but then again I could be wrong... ><

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

Hm~ Fair to Midland...is that a band...? Gosh i don't know them, but okay... nice that Toshiya seems to like them~ i tought I was always up to date with Toshiya facts.... määäh~

Hahaha~ I just don't think Diru will change that much~ womaniser... never mind... as kaoru said in an interview they don't even try to be too close to each other in Duru, so I think, they wouldn't change to that XD ^^
I just don't worry about them, they change, but they change in a good way, I'm sure ^^

[Reita-kun]

Yeah... Fair to Midland is a band... and Toshiya likes them... ^^ I dont know them much... but yeah...

I dont think they'll be womanisers... but yeah... this will only take time... I mean... I dont think they going to change like RIGHT NOW... but if they do... change it will be in the future and then we can share our opinions then... as for right now... I'm just assuming... TwT

[gravenimage]

Umm, hi again!
The whole changing thing sort of upset me a bit. As they went from VK, to sorta, I dunno...stylish but not really all VK'd out, then pretty much average clothes like now was sort of a "DeG is going crappy!" at first to me. I was worried about MoaB, mainly because I was iffy about the first two singles, then plain out didn't like ASOM. The cd works great though. I dunno, the change in music style has also sort of been odd...wouldn't say downhill, because it's still good. I just liked their older stuff and was expecting more of the same vein of music further down the road.
Hopefully they don't change much more, or even a bit back towards their old ways would be nice I think. But I don't think they'll be getting all "Sex, drugs any time soon. That'd be terrible.
Can anyone help me though? I'm looking for an avatar, or even just a picture of Kaoru from Child Prey. I've been in love with Kaoru's style since I found DeG and his jacket+hair in that PV made me go crazy. Aaaannny help would be like a christmas present early. :)

[pinkbuta304]

here are a few pics of child prey kaoru. ENJOY :-)

[daki]

re: that shirtless pic of kaoru somewhere on the top of this page, i didn't know his left arm tattoo extend all the way into his chest, i thought it was just forearm and back of the hand..wow.

re: fair to midland, i don't mind if toshiya likes them, as long as they don't try to do what they do musically. -.- fair to midland was just....bad in my opinion.

[gravenimage]

Holy schmokes! I've never seen the whole thing like that either. That's pretty crazy stuff. Man I wish he'd cut off that facial hair, he's much better looking with it off, and his hair in one of the crazy style it can hold.

[pinkbuta304]

and yeah i didn't know about how far his tatoo extended :souka:

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

While we're being a little fangirly :p Kyo makes me lose so many lesbo points, like, you have no idea :love: I would post piccies but I is TIRED so...yeah *lazy*

And yes, Kaoru is Godly.

[andie]

@Sonya
thanks for the entry...that sounded really funny...well I guess drinking and making party with Diru is always funny :p
It seems that I'm the only person here that has NOT been to a diru-concert so far..:bawling:
I think a band has to change in some way to develop themself, like in the style of making music and so on...but I don't think that Diru would change like andie worried (although it's always good to think about such things...that shows that you care about the band and that they are important for you)...I mean look at them...they're an japanese rock-band, having fans all over the world..they toured together with Korn (which is, what I think, most of their biggest successes) and I think they know that they have many fans who will support them everytime and don't need to change ( in a bad way)...but that's only my opinion..don't bite me for that

diru members are somewhat vulgar except for shinya,i know they are smart and talented it is just that i hope they wont do drugs,sex and excessive alcoholism.as for their sound,i am not a huge fan of their OLD stuff but i like vulgar and withering to death and a few songs from their earlier album.the way they sound now is so awesome,kyo's voice is superb i just wish that they will be DIR EN GREY!i dont want them to be acting like some western rock metal band(this is without prejudice to western bands)

[BlackSoul]

@andie
I can totally understand your worries, especially now when they have so much contact with america and are touring with american bands..but there's one thing that makes me think that they won't change...you don't know about their private life, you only know the things they want to show (in comments or at their blog), it's not like that they're hunted by the press and everybody knows every detail from their life, like it's the case with some american stars and I think that prevents them from being fragile for drugs...also they don't seem to be only together to make music and work..they're friends and help eachother...but that's only my opinion and I really hope that they will be forever this amazing band!!!

and those shirt-less pics of Kao were great....*drools*

[Precious4e]

^ Don't forget they are Japanese and their moral codes and they way they conduct themselves is entirely different from the west. They'll probably hang out together and get drunk and have fun but I don't think that they will go as far as some of the bands here.

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

Holy schmokes! I've never seen the whole thing like that either. That's pretty crazy stuff. Man I wish he'd cut off that facial hair, he's much better looking with it off, and his hair in one of the crazy style it can hold.

O_________o" NOOO~ his hair is the most beautiful hair in the world! I just L O V E his hair XD

about his tattoo... me and a freind we speculated on that just since... a half year~ And by founding this picture, we just were like "that was soooooooooo clear, we knew..." Just asking myself now... how is his back looking? XD

[Thirteen]

Yes... I agree with you... Precious4e

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

LOL okay so maybe I got a little lucky. :blush:

@Bloodlust- I thought they were just flat out scary O_o My mum thought the singer of Bleed The Dream was 100% on acid. Ahaha! I asked what she thought about Kyo, and she said 'he didn't seem that strange' I was like :bluush:

@pinkbuta304 - LOL I have that poster ^^ It hangs ever so convieniently above my bed ^^

Aha, Kao is my idol!! The stuff he does with his guitar is phenomenal!! I don't mind his facial hair, but it does make him look a little bit older.

@thirteen- I'm so mad, the pictures don't get bigger :bawling:

[Riyko]

Jeez... I didn't mean to sound offensive :bawling:
It's ok, I wasn't singling you out. After a while of hearing that the opening bands sucks you get tired of it. It takes alot of courage for a band to open for a band like Dir en grey or an even bigger band and even if you don't like their music you should at least respect them for opening for Dir en grey.

I talked to some of the members of Bleed the Dream at the Toronto show and they are very nice and laid back, they we're giving people hugs, taking pictures with them and just talking to the fans waiting in line, where as fair to midland didn't even attempt to talk to anyone. I'm glad that Bleed the Dream was there, but they could of gone without fair to midland.

I've always been even if you don't like a band you shouldn't talk badly about them. It would be like someone talking really badly about Dir en grey for one reason or another. That's what I was trying to get at the whole time.

Anyways, I'm waiting to find out that my two copies of Despair in the Womb have arrived so I can pay for them and have them sent to me. It's kind of sad though because I have no one to give my second copy to now since that person doesn't want me to talk to him :(

Did anyone here who went to any of the shows, get to meet the band?

[Reita-kun]

you are so lucky... i want a deg poster too! *jealous*

@Reita-kun - There's probably one on eBay.

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

Did anyone see Kaoru and toshiya on tv last night :-)

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

Well the host what ever his name was XDD
He kept saying dir en grey like "DEEERU en grey" and i laughed everytime he said it, im amazed kaoru and toshiya stayed calm but they did laugh a little
He asked questions like "Is that REAL blood kyo uses and what was that trick with kyo's eyes bleeding??" Kaoru talked mainly, and he said "His eyes were not bleeding it was blood from his mouth" XDD the guy also asked "Where do you think the fans get this information from and how is jrock spreading across america?!" Kaoru said "maybe from the japanese video games and anime they learned about the music and he said he has no idea how they got information" Toshiya said a couple things and he was so adorable ;__;!!

[pinkbuta304]

yeah i saw them on fuse! they were acting all cool and steven was so excited it was funny. Toshiya didn't speek much tho.

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

@reita

aww im sure it will be on youtube soon don't worry!!
if i find the link ill definitly post it :-)

[Precious4e]

the fuse tv interview

[Bloodlust]

Hyde_Is_My_Antidrug: HAHAHA... lesbo points. Yeah, me too.

I missed the Fuse thing because I don't get it out here! Thanks for the Youtube link.

Riyko: It's true, they were brave to open for DEG. I wasn't impressed by either of them, but I suppose I could be nicer *upsets the natural order of things*

[Precious4e]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8liZKSp1IWc

part 2 of the interview

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

And Kyo has screwed over more people's orientations than just about any other J-Rocker. It surprised me at first but I've gotten used to my straight guy friends getting all googly-eyed over our favorite demonic midget.

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

Have a look at this... how could you just NOT WANT him?! ^^" :blush:
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k49/Yumiko_Okahawa/Dir%20en%20grey/kk2py1.jpg


And because of the interview with Totchi and kao~
awwww~ soooo cute together!!! They're still my most favorite pairing ever XD ^^
I just lieked to the kaoru "sniff" and say "moooooooou" *lol* and I liked how they were smiling, when -Steven- said "Dir en grey" I just wanted to know, what both of them were thinking at that moment X3~

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

My favorite part of the interview is his mutilation of Kyo's name. It's actually gotten to the point where I find mispronunciation of certain things mildly amusing (but still annoying).

[Bloodlust]

Anyway... Kyo getting tattooed. Makes me all squishy inside. He looks peaceful.. maybe it doesn't hurt as much as I'm expecting it to? Probably does, he just likes the pain. My kinda guy!

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

I less than three Kyo's tattoos... although I'm still mourning the loss of being able to SEE the butterfly :(

[Reita-kun]

~on topic~

I also less than three Kyo-sama's tattoos... ><

[Saishu]

Did you guys know that there's an article about Dir en grey in the April issue of Revolver?

[Reita-kun]

I've heard of that... but I havent seen it... unfortunately...

[Michiko-kitsune]

By the way, thanks for posting the links to that video Precious4e!

Wow, it's cool to see that Diru are popping up in the media now. @_@ TV and mags and all...

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

Yeah, well, that's because Deg's just 18 different flavors of awesome like that :-)

[Michiko-kitsune]

I'm definitely aware of that. XD I was just getting at the fact that it's kind of a big deal (it seems to me, at least) for a band to break into the scene so suddenly and in full-force as they have.

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

@Yumiko_Okahawa - Ooooh, I like that picture!! :lol:


@Michiko-kitsune - I wasn't expecting it all so soon either!!
@Hyde_is_my_anti-drug - LOL I never thought Baskin Robbins and Dir en Grey could be compared XD That's so awesome :lol:

[Bloodlust]

I've never actually studied any of Kyo's art. Wierd... I've been known to touch strangers to check out thier work. I'm rude like that, I guess.:-) Does anyone have any good pics of them?

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

I wish I could see some of the art... if someone has it, please post piccus!

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

Heyaaa~ ^.^

Someone asked for that interview of revolver mag... so~ here it is ^^

[Michiko-kitsune]

Thanks so much for the interview, Yumiko!

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

No problem ^^ You're welcome

I just found another one, dunno if you already know... it's with Koaru, but... i was really supruised by what he answered to the question about why dir en grey styed together for such a long time :(

Enjoy ^.^

[Precious4e]

Thanks for the interview. Die's comment on the bidet was funny.

[BlackSoul]

thanks for the interview Yumiko......that's really surprising what he said about that point...but maybe it's the best way for them to stay together for such a long time...although I ever thought that they were more close to each other...

[Michiko-kitsune]

thanks for the interview Yumiko......that's really surprising what he said about that point...but maybe it's the best way for them to stay together for such a long time...although I ever thought that they were more close to each other...
Yeah, I think I've read in an older interview (with Kyo maybe? can't remember) that they're not so close outside of their music. If you think about it, though, it seems very practical; it would be a shame if a band like them split because of personal matters that couldn't be resolved or something like that. It's hard to be around people you have personal issues with, let alone work with them.

[Reita-kun]

That is true... I have heard something similar... They are more connected through their music than they are without... like as in more common interest... I think thats that same interview that you read Michiko-kitsune...

[BlackSoul]

that's true too...if the band members are too close to eachother that can cause serious problems..and it would be sooo sad when a band like Diru splitted up because there are personal problems...also it's finally their decision and they have to make it the best and most comfortable way for them...but I thought at least that they are some of friends in some way..but only they know and I'll stay at their side and will support them, since they are an amazing band..

die's comment was really funny!!!!!:D

[Bloodlust]

Poor Die...

I'm not shocked at all about the comment Kaoru made. I dare say, every band that has ever broken up (short of ones that had a member pass away) did it for personal reasons. Maybe not that they decided to hate each other, but always something that had nothing to do with the band as an entity, but because of an individual's life changes or opinion. Even 'artistic differences' are a personal reason.

Of course they're people, too! That's why I've never been one of those screaming fangirl types when I meet bands. True, I've never met anyone I adore as much as DEG, but still. I've met some relatively high caliber folks, and I kept my wits about me. Always remember: everybody poops.:giggle:

[Michiko-kitsune]

I think it's also good to keep in mind that "not close" doesn't equate "completely cold towards eachother". X3 Yeah, maybe they keep out of each other's business as Kaoru says, but I would qualify the cooperation needed to stick together and make music for ten years as some level of "friendship", even if they're not like OMG BFFs!!! If you know what I mean. XD

(This isn't in response to anyone in particular, by the way, just a random thought I had all of a sudden and felt like sharing.)

[daki]

wow, surprising interivew, esp when kaoru said that the 5 of them isn't too close, they only come together to make music and care not so much about other's private life. if they've been together for 10 yrs, i thought they would be a little closer than this. lol. i guess this explains why shinya always look like he doesn't know why he's there?

[gravenimage]

rofl, he definitly is the odd one out.
But yeah, he didn't say they're distant. Not too close, not too distant. So it sounds to me more like a happy medium where they'll just let each other go home and be friends without having to live with each other and know all their personal stuff.
Oh, and I forget who mentioned Kaoru's hair- but yus; I don't mind the messy, long hair...just the facial hair. I loved his old styles, but the new one isn't terrible.
I just think all of diru should keep clean shaven. They're prettier that way.:bluush:

Can't wait for a live DVD of this tour, and to somehow find out the set list for Toronto.

[daki]

i listed out the set list in a post about 3 weeks ago. i did it after i came back from the show. nota complete set list, but about 70-80%

[Precious4e]

02/09/07 (Fri) The Guvernment - Toronto, ON, Canada
Set 1: The Fatal Believer, Agitated Screams of Maggots, Mr. Newsman, Disabled Complexes, Saku, Grief, Itoshisa ha Fuhai Nitsuki, Kodoku ni Shisu Yueni Kodoku, Obscure, Ryoujoku no Ame, Merciless Cult, The Final, Shokubeni, Dead Tree

E: C, The IIID Empire, Beautiful Dirt, Clever Sleazoid

from setlist.com lol

Same as the one in NYC the next day except we had Audience Killer Loop instead of Shokubeni and The Deeper Vileness instead of Disabled Complexes.....I would have liked to hear Disabled live though Audience Killer Loop is one of my fav songs and i'm glad they played it ^^

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

just want to make another commet about what Kaoru said...
I think it's really not the first time we've heard about that... i just remamber that story they told in earlier times... about the thing with Shinyas Handy. Didn't say tell, he bought one and after having it a half year he told the other members? and then a half year later he gave them the number? So.. i think, that's another point of "not too close" as Kao said....
But when I watch that old stuff, they look very close to each other (except Kyo maybe ^^") .. Maybe that changed, too~

[BlackSoul]

I think (and hope) that they found a good middle between being too close to eachother and a total distance...at least it's their decision and they have to live with it, and if it's the best way for them to not be close friends than they should keep it (also for the sake of their music)...I was just surprised, cause other bands sometimes say that they are like friends and help eachother and then Kao said that they only come together to make music...but maybe friendship is for him being really really close to eachother and they also have their deep connection through their music...

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

I said this to my mom about this subject, "Of course they don't know anything about each other's personal lives. It's hard to know anything about something that doesn't exist." As they've said many times their lives kinda ARE the band. :p

[pinkbuta304]

ahh you guys had me worried for a bit, but now after finally being able to read the interview i have no worries. Being not too close and being not too distant = friends doesn't it? anyways, they played audience killer loop?! aww not at the show i went to! :( ah well, i'm still happy to have been able to see em:-)

[Thirteen]

I think it's also good to keep in mind that "not close" doesn't equate "completely cold towards eachother". X3 Yeah, maybe they keep out of each other's business as Kaoru says, but I would qualify the cooperation needed to stick together and make music for ten years as some level of "friendship", even if they're not like OMG BFFs!!!

(This isn't in response to anyone in particular, by the way, just a random thought I had all of a sudden and felt like sharing.)


dude I can totally see that!

Shinya: TOSHI!
Toshiya: heeyyy
Kyo: BFF's FO-EVA! *high fives everyone*

[pinkbuta304]

lol i have the funny image of kyo high fiving everyone now

[Michiko-kitsune]

I was thinking something more along the lines of pre-rehearsal group hug. Lolzors and stuff. XD

Kyo: OMG you guyyyys I haven't seen you in like a week!! *does girly hand-fanning thing...you know what I mean*

...that image should not exist. XD

[andie]

@andie
I can totally understand your worries, especially now when they have so much contact with america and are touring with american bands..but there's one thing that makes me think that they won't change...you don't know about their private life, you only know the things they want to show (in comments or at their blog), it's not like that they're hunted by the press and everybody knows every detail from their life, like it's the case with some american stars and I think that prevents them from being fragile for drugs...also they don't seem to be only together to make music and work..they're friends and help eachother...but that's only my opinion and I really hope that they will be forever this amazing band!!!
and those shirt-less pics of Kao were great....*drools*

i will remain a diru fan whatever happens and i just hope them all the success in their career.i guess i am just undermining them a little:souka:

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

@Michiko_Kitsune- It would be soooo odd to see Kyo act all femme like that O_o

[Yumiko_Okahawa]

I think I read to many of those FFs where Ko was like that, so it's too easy to imagine him that way,.... It's kinda scary... :(

[pinkbuta304]

i wish it was real but it only exists in my mind. lol sorry for getting you excited. but here's one where it looks like he's in that bff kinda mood. lol they all look like they're in that friendly mood

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

@pinkbuta304
AWWW!! that pic is so adorable i agree it does look like one of those moments where they would all joke around and laugh together :blush:

[pixy_false]

Goodness! They look like such dorks! lol So cute though.

That so ruins the image they have going for themselves these days.

[Child_prey]

Dir en grey are coming to Sweden. Allthough it isn't official but the site where the date and place is posted on is usually right so they should be in Stockholm August 7.
http://www.skrikhult.se/

If that is the case then I will probably be able to score an inteview with them since I work for a mag. And so I come to you, fans of Dir en grey, for help.
You see many (worthless) interviews with them and since I am a huge fan and have nothing but respect for the band, I want to atleast ask some decent questions, not like "Why is your name Dir en grey?", "why do you have a beard?" but to give them the sense that we made an effort and we are interested in their music and in them. So... If you have a Q you would like to ask them then please reply to this post.
Thank you for your help.

[Kinsao]

Yayyyy!! Dir en grey are finally coming to the UK! London on August 2! :bravo: :yeahh: :happy:

[what doom doth sing]

@Michiko_Kitsune- It would be soooo odd to see Kyo act all femme like that O_o
have you seen the clip of him skipping in his myaku outfit? Its so adorable and femme.....
funny vid including said clip :cute: is on youtube..... its titled "bounce"

[Precious4e]

I'm glad since they already came to the US. Now other fans can enjoy their shows!

[coilediris]

Yes, or ask them if they're planning on going back to the studio when they get home, and compliment them on their work ethic. Or ask them what the differences are for performing in other countries compared to Japan.

[coilediris]

And Diru's plan to conquer the world is complete.

[Child_prey]

I can't help to notice that france isn't on the list... did they hate the live in paris that much?:(

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

@pinkbuta304 – OMG that picture *giggles* All of them look so cute in it! They try to be all dark with smiles like that!? Pfffttt!

[pinkbuta304]

i think this pic was from one of their early photo books...
yeah, the pic is from their Dragonfly photobook.

[daki]

Child_prey:
as a guitar player myself, i've always wondered what kind of equpiment Die and Kaoru use. it would be SOOO nice if you can ask them on their equpiment such as guitar pickups, amps, effectors, and stuff that they use to get the sound they've now.

yeah, the pic is from their Dragonfly photobook.
looking at the pic, it made me realize it's really been so long since they released that photobook.:souka:

[Child_prey]

To those who have answered my post, I'm writing it all down and have some ideas... Anyway, keep posting Q, even though there is still time it's never to early to start to plan. I really want the fans to be heard.

[Yokan]

I can't help to notice that france isn't on the list... did they hate the live in paris that much?:(
I'm quite sure they'll add a date for Paris, they're always adding additional dates! I'm surprised there's only one date in the UK. Still, one gig i'm definately going to! :-)

[Kinsao]

^ Yeah, I'm gonna be there myself! :cool:
Even though I still haven't heard the new album... haha. :blush: But, I mean, Dir en grey are, like, legendary... :p :yeahh: :cool:

[BlackSoul]

ahh....I'm so excited...I just found out that diru are coming to europe...and to germany.....*screams around*...I will go there for sure..that will be my first j-rock concert....I'm really happy!!!!!:balloon:

I got a Nintendo Wii this week and one of the first ideas I got for a Mii character was Kyo. This is what I came up with:

I'm having trouble getting Die and Toshiya to not just look like generic characters, so I'm still working on them.

Hello friends,

i am new at this forum and i hope you can help me with my problem.

A girlfriend of me wants to paint "Dir En Grey" in japanese letters on the wall of her new room.
But I can't find anywhere Dir En Grey in japanese letters...

Has someone a graphic or picture, where the bandname is written in japanese letters? this is important because at the moment I can not install a language package. So a picture would be wonderful.

Thank you,


Frank

There are no graphics or pictures of "Dir En Grey" in Japanese letters because the band name is supposed to be in english.

The band name is: Dir en grey

Just like that. (only the first word is capitalised :bluush: )

[Saishu]

Actually, "Dir en grey" is written in katakana on the packaging for the "Jealous" single. Unfortunately, I can't get a good picture of it; it comes out too blurry since it's written so small.

[Precious4e]

In katakana? would it be デルエングレイ？
Not sure if the Japanese would pronounce the beginning as "diru" or "deru"
though....i'm not even sure if the have the sound for "di" lol

[Saishu]

Actually, it's ディル アン グレイ .

The "de" followed by the small "i" is pronounced "dee." So the name, technically, is pronounced "deer ahn grey," even though most people (including me) say "dur in grey."

[Precious4e]

ah...so they say it as "dehru ahn gurei"....puahah I say "deer en grey." I never liked saying "dur" :p Just one of those words that just don't sound right coming out of me.

But arg translating english words into katakana is hard because I have no idea how Japanese people would say it. Like the "e" sound for "a" for example. I would say "en" but they say "ahn"

[andie]

That last picture is not the image I think of when I picture him in my mind. He looks too innocent there.

[Saishu]

But arg translating english words into katakana is hard because I have no idea how Japanese people would say it. Like the "e" sound for "a" for example. I would say "en" but they say "ahn"

Well keep in mind that "dir" and "en" aren't English words, so they probably pronounce them like... whatever language they're from.

German and French?

[yuna_leska]

Aha well I pronounce Dir en Grey in french =_= *is from a french speaking town* Like I roll my Rs....if Diru would hear it, they would probably laugh....

[VainForbbiden]

Is anyone else not really liking Marrow of the Bone?
Don't get me wrong, I love that they've come to america and expanded and are getting so much respect and popularity...
but their new CD has done nothing for me. Withering to death- eh....
but....right now I just wish they'd do another Gauze.:(

[Precious4e]

@VainForbidden: MOAB took me a few listens to really get into it. I personally liked Vulgar and Kisou the best but I don't think they'll be going back to those sounds any time soon. Each album just seems to progress away from the previous one.

[daki]

they won't do another gauze, but i'm not a huge fan of MOB. i think even WTD or Vulgar was done better than MOB. it's not a bad album, but in my opinion lacks some passion. i don't know if passion is the right word, it's missing smth but i don't know how to describe it.

i pronounced it too in a french fashion...:cool: dir en grey such a cool name very catchy i wondered who coined that name

anyone?

[daki]

i pronounced it too in a french fashion...:cool: dir en grey such a cool name very catchy i wondered who coined that name
anyone?
they just came up with the name together.
it's supposed to mean "Coin of Grey/ Grey Coin", since En is like "Of" but Dir doesnt mean "Coin" in german.......:okashii:

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

Okay... I just read that Kyo was married and had a kid... what?! I've never in my life heard this... are people just being idiots or am I that ignorant?

[Saishu]

I think the whole "grey coin" thing was wrong, because the word "coin" isn't anywhere in the band's name. The latest translation for "dir en grey" that I've heard is "to you, in grey."

Also, Marrow of a Bone is easily my favourite Diru album -- it only took a few listens for me to realise that. There's plenty of passion and a wide range of emotions, it just seems like people can't get past Kyo's screaming and growling. Some songs that are obviously emotional are "Conceived Sorrow," "Namamekashiki ansoku, tamerai no hohoemi," and "The Pledge." But one line in particular that gets me all the time is in "The Fatal Believer."

"Please grant me my small wish/骨の髄まで愛してくれ"
which translates to:
"Please grant me my small wish/love me to the marrow of my bones"

The first half of that is sung in Kyo's soft falsetto, then he launches into his distinct rabid bark for the second half. It's pretty amazing; I imagine someone faced with extreme desperation just from the way Kyo sings that line alone. Marrow is an amazing album.

[Michiko-kitsune]

@Yoko: I'm pretty sure people are just being idiots.

As for the whole name-meaning thing, I'm confused- hasn't the band been saying recently that "dir en grey" doesn't mean anything in particular, they just liked the sound of it? Unless everyone's just contemplating what it COULD mean if it does have meaning...but yeah, I've heard lots of different things as well so it's hard to say.

And I also rather like The Marrow of a Bone. Saishu, I agree, that's a great line. Do you know Japanese or did you find translations somewhere? :o

[Saishu]

Michiko -- I studied Japanese for two years in college. After that I pretty much just started trying to teach myself. I don't know the language well, but I pretty much have the basics nailed down. When it comes to translations I just try my hardest to understand them then, when I can't, I look for words in the dictionary and try to piece them together so they make sense. It can be especially frustrating trying to translate Kyo's lyrics, but it's also fun at the same time.

[Michiko-kitsune]

haha, I imagine his lyrics would be hella frustrating. I seriously admire you for trying. XD I never took classes or lessons, but I did used to know a fair bit more than I do now (college gets in the way of any of my own "independent studying", unfortunately) Anyway, I was just asking in case there was a site you could refer me to for the translations that I didn't know about. Oh well X3;

[daki]

I think the whole "grey coin" thing was wrong, because the word "coin" isn't anywhere in the band's name. The latest translation for "dir en grey" that I've heard is "to you, in grey."

i know, thats why i said "Dir" doesn't mean coin. but i'm pretty sure the official chinese translation of the band was "Grey Coin" a long time ago. but it's been too long i don't know if they still use it, or was it me who remembered it incorrectly.

and regarding MOB, i'm not saying it's bad, but when i compare it to my favorite Vulgar it lacks something. i even said that i'm not sure if "passion" is the correct word to describe the missing something that i feel of. BUt again, maybe it's just me who feel this way.

[Thirteen]

It's a definite fav of mine too. I love the emotions in it but I'm also a lover of heavy metal, so his screams and growls adds on to my liking :-)

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

It's a definite fav of mine too. I love the emotions in it but I'm also a lover of heavy metal, so his screams and growls adds on to my liking :-)

I agree. I mean I guess at first I was like yeah I like their old stuff. But I like their new stuff too now, you know? :lol: I guess I never realized how cool it is that they change and never stick to the same thing twice. That would be really hard to do!!! :cool:

[Precious4e]

about the name thing, I find it interesting that some people say its a play on the title "Dorian Grey". I don't know how similar they would sound when said in Japanese but there are certainly similarities when said in english (or the respective language it came from). It's most likely conjecture but the book itself was about the darkness and vileness of human nature so I think it suits them well hahaha.

[vicky666]

does anyone know if they will do another north american tour in the near future?(is hopeful)

regarding MOB, its ok imo....not the best, but definately enjoyable. i also liek the fatal believer

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

I've heard a lot of rumours that Korn wants them to play in the Family Values tour again. So maybeh.

[Precious4e]

^They have most of August booked up in Europe so I don't think they'll be doing FVT again...unless they join for the last half of the shows

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

^They have most of August booked up in Europe so I don't think they'll be doing FVT again...unless they join for the last half of the shows
Yeah, that's why I said I heard rumours :lol: It's possible they could postpone FVT if they want them that bad.

[Bloodlust]

Wow. If Kyo's married, he must never see his family! I almost hope he's not, but not because I want him, but because it would be so hard for him, not to see his kid. It is probably just people being dorks, though.

[pinkbuta304]

yeah i'm pretty sure thats not true cuz i haven't heard about that before and if it was true everyone would be talking about it, i think

[Riyko]

I guess Diru is opening for Deftones on June 28th in LA, but that's the only show and I don't even know if it's true or not *shrugs* I won't believe it until it's been made offical by one of the official companys like FWA or Warcon or announced by Diru or Deftones or both.

[Bloodlust]

I dunno... Do you really think they would fly all the way here for one show that they weren't even headlining? Unless thay have more business in LA and this is just a time killer. I wouldn't believe it either until you hear a more official announcement.

[Riyko]

I'll get the link when I can get onto livejournal, but it was an article about it and then the link to where you can buy tickets from.

[Riyko]

https://www.premieremarqueeclub.com/index.asp? Get the tickets from there

http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/entertainment/music/abox/article_1621784.php The article

[pinkbuta304]

ahhh! yay! they are gonna be here! i just checked at livenation.com! can't wait:-)

[Bloodlust]

I still think it's wierd. Damn... now I have to save to go to a Deftones show in June! They must be here for something else, cuz I just can't see them paying to come here for one show that isn't even thiers. Plus, I hear Kyo hates to fly.

[andie]

Okay... I just read that Kyo was married and had a kid... what?! I've never in my life heard this... are people just being idiots or am I that ignorant?

kyo is married?oh no, that will surely break my heart,i love him so much,argh,,lucky girl,darn i hope that is not true

really strange indeed......why suddenly becoming an opening band for 1 show....? and all the way here in north america......
:okashii:

[Michiko-kitsune]

Hmm...once again agreeing with Bloodlust in that I still think it's really weird. I guess maybe they'll come up with something else to do around the US later...

Anyway, thanks Riyko for posting linkage and pulling it out of rumor-dom. XD Too bad at that time I'll be heading over to the east coast...

Yoko, what are you talking about? We just had Diru a month ago. That is most definitely not "nothing", silly person XD

(And no, Kyo is not married. These types of things are more often than not rumors. If anyone in the band got married, I'm sure more than just a couple random internet people would know.)

[Riyko]

From what I know is that the Deftones are planning on making a major announcement soon. If it is true and Diru is opening for them then more then likely it will be the whole tour and if so hopefully they'll go back up to Canada.

[andie]

if kyo is married i doubt if he would act like that.i mean the fish hooking,self mutilation and everything it would shock his child.

[Bloodlust]

andie: True, but sometimes we freaks can raise well rounded offspring.
Kyo would probably make a pretty good daddy. He doesn't strike me as the absent father kind of guy, and I think there is much more to him than the persona he presents to us. Fish hooking or not, his kids (should he ever have any) will probably be OK.

[pixy_false]

Okay so Deftones has now officially announced on their website that Dir en grey will be touring with them this summer. And some other band....

[Riyko]

Deftones announcement (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=769597&blogID=243556423&MyToken=99f77182-5b95-431d-8532-b98657ca42fb)
They are going to be in Utah on June 23 and 24th, but I honestly wonder if they'll allow Diru to perform or if they'll be there doing nothing. (if you know how things are run in Utah then they are very against what kyo does to himself on stage). It sucks if Diru is really going to be with them, since I will be in Canada for schooling, but I could just fly back home to see them.
I really do hope they add Toronto as an upcoming tour date even though it's just their US tour, but still T_T

[coilediris]

Blargh. I saw the Deftones live at the Summer Sanitarium tour and they were craptastic--they're a band who has a few okay songs ON THE CD and then don't measure up live.

But...if they're playing somewhere that doesn't drain my wallet...I might sacrifice my pride for Diru. And then just leave.

[Nana007]

More dates to be announced :
Deftones will be heading out on a nationwide US tour this summer with Dir En Grey and The Fall of Troy.

[andie]

kyo will be a good father if ever,i am sure that he will not let the pain that he has suffered be experienced by his child,but if ever he will have kids i am sure he will mellow down a little (his actions sometimes shocks me but i so respect kyo both as a singer and as a person)

[Michiko-kitsune]

OMGeeeeez. They're playing in Minneapolis again, and I'll still be here at that time! (Yoko, you may now celebrate XD )

[Precious4e]

Finally they go to Albany......when i'm NOT in school....gosh...

[Riyko]

Finally they go to Albany......when i'm NOT in school....gosh...

It's the same for me except they'll be in Utah when i'm away for college pfft.... that sucks too, but i'm thinking about flying home to see them since the shows are on a saturday and sunday I can go and come back for school before my tuesday classes start.

[Saishu]

Oddly enough, I've always thought that "Grief" sounded a bit like a Deftones song. It's one of my favourites off Marrow of a Bone.

[kouji-sama]

heya, new to the thread *waves*

I'm one of those that can't understand WHY Dir en grey would be touring as an opening band...they've already proven they can tour on their own, so...why? why why whyyyy?

and why can't they tour in my state? *sighs* the closest venue is in Georgia...

Ah well, as long as they're still doing anything I'm happy :lol:

[daki]

i'm ok if they don't come up. when you think about it, i don't wanna pay $50 and see diru for 30mins. i paid around the same amount last time for the Inward Scream tour and i got to see them for 90 mins :okashii:

[Riyko]

They are going to be performing for about 45-50 minutes this time.

Oh and Diru won't be joining the tour until June 6th so any show before that is just the deftones and fall of troy.

[pixy_false]

At least for this round, there's one opening band before Dir en grey. And the upside is if you really don't like Deftones, you can leave early or go buy merch since Dir en grey would have already played anyways. In my case, I'll be at the bar. I've seen Dir en grey from the front row a few times, and I am getting too old to be pinched by crazy fangirls.

[MissMurder]

I only saw the Deftones live once, and that was at Family Values. Now, granted, I think that outdoor venues don't carry sound as well as indoor ones, but Deftones just sounded like one big messy wall of noise. .



uhm.. thats what DeG sounds like live too.. :-)

anyone know if Dir en Grey and Defones are playing in Arizona?.. I think I may be the only person here that actually really likes the Deftones.. and seeing them with DeG would be a nice bonus.

[Riyko]

Dir en grey won't be at the Arizona show since that show is May 11th and Dir en grey isn't joining the tour until June 6th.

[advigilo]

@ nekkyo: i just wanna drop a note that i like you're avatar


what do you guys think of the new album?
or did you already discuss this? (im too lazy to look back trough al the pages ^_^;) i have it digital so if anyone needs ****** you know the story :P....

[IkaruJaki]

uhm.. thats what DeG sounds like live too.. :-)


Um what show did you see them at? I caught them on both the FVT and when they came thru in February and had no problm with the sound quality what so ever.

[Saishu]

uhm.. it was a joke.. most bands sound like a wall of noise live.

Maybe I shouldn't have used the phrase "wall of noise." My point is that I couldn't make sense of anything when I saw the Deftones. It was a complete mess.

[IkaruJaki]

uhm.. it was a joke.. most bands sound like a wall of noise live.

Sorry, didn't catch it.
Anyway I was at FVT with Saishu and the Deftones had really bad sound issues that night, where as all the other acts the night had no problems. So I think that's what he's refering to.

I dono if it's dicussed here but I'm was here long time ago and yeah i'm lazy too!
BTW I like new album!
Conceived Sorrow,Disabled Complexes,Namamekashiki Ansoku are my fave (sometimes I just like to hear slow Diru song where I can enjoy a real beauty of Kyo's voice) and I also like those three bonus versions!I like the whole album!I think it's not their best but it's one of the best (even though all Diru albums were great to me)!>_<

I LOVE the new album - Conceived Sorrow is simply magnificent and is already right up there for me with stuff like Obscure and Aint Afraid on my all time Diru list. Anyone who thought Kyo had lost his voice has been well and truly owned. I was a little surprised that ASOM was chosen as a single considering they had gems like Fatal Believer, Conceived Sorrow and Grief that would have made better releases I think. I also got the limited first press release and am loving the bonus CD - I have thought for some time that Diru should have released an unplugged compilation and am very pleased with what they have done on that bonus CD! :-)

[Jack]

I was a little surprised that ASOM was chosen as a single considering they had gems like Fatal Believer, Conceived Sorrow and Grief that would have made better releases I think.

I personally feel that if "agitated screams" wasn't released as a single and was just left to the album, i wouldn't like it as much, i guess i just listened to it a lot; over and over while waiting for the album to be released and it really grew on me.:relief:

Does' anybody like the remake of Clever sleazoid? I liked the original better, but i do really like the re-recording of ryoujoku no ame the lyrics are more pronounced and sound more clear.

[dorikura]

I liked the original better, but i do really like the re-recording of ryoujoku no ame the lyrics are more pronounced and sound more clear.

I agree!:cool:It's amazing!I like Kyo's voice!He has an G/D sexy voice!

[Michiko-kitsune]

I'd also say that I like the single version of Clever Sleazoid more. When I first heard the album version, I felt that it sounded as if it was being pulled through mud, whereas the single version, in comparison, pushes through the song a lot more powerfully (if that comparison makes any sense... X3;; )That's not to say I don't like the album version at all, though; I just happen to find the single version superior.

[Bloodlust]

I agree. Admitedly, I've only heard a less than pristine version of the album one, but while it does have it's merits, I do find the single more appealing at this point. Still rocks, though. As far as I'm concerned, anything they touch is gold. Could be crap and probably wouldn't notice!

[dorikura]

Dono if this was sent before but I decided to post it here!

sorry, I have to interrupt for the sake of dear Toto's 30th Birthday.
:cake: :confetti: :spray: :romance: :flower: :flower: :disco: :beer: :singer: :thankyou: :car: :smoke: :cake:
*ahem* HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOSHIYA!!!

[pinkbuta304]

woohoo!! Happy Birthday to Toshiya!!! :confetti: :balloon:
i wonder what he's gonna do to celebrate :?

[Bloodlust]

Play with his puppy?

Has there been any official announcement from Diru about the Deftones tour?

[Dirufanboy]

....Does anybody like the remake of Clever sleazoid? I liked the original better, but i do really like the re-recording of ryoujoku no ame the lyrics are more pronounced and sound more clear.

Agreed on both counts - the album version of Ryoujoku is the better of the two versions, but the single version of Sleazoid is far superior to it's album version in my humble opinion - the choruses are better, as are the "Sky is deep and wide" lines. Some real good stuff on there, but I hope Die and Karou haven't completely abandoned the solos.... :(

[IkaruJaki]

I'd also say that I like the single version of Clever Sleazoid more. When I first heard the album version, I felt that it sounded as if it was being pulled through mud

I felt the same way. now I don't mind it as much, but yeah given the choice between the two the single is still my top pick.

[Michiko-kitsune]

I felt the same way. now I don't mind it as much, but yeah given the choice between the two the single is still my top pick.
Me too; after I heard it for about the 4th or 5th time the other day, I didn't mind it as much as when I first heard it. XD For sure, though, I still like the single version more.

As for Ryoujoku no Ame, I don't think I've listened to the album version enough to know which I like better at this point...

Bloodlust- hmm, I checked around a bit, and I haven't seen anything on their official site or myspace or anything...unless I overlooked something.

[the-fatal-believer]

songs songs songsss
i remember when i first heard Agitated scream of maggots.. a bit like oops -wannabe trash??? but the more u listen to the better it is. but what i wanted to say ->> i was watchin Despair in the womb and i almost fainted when heard this song live.. O___O i cant wait to go to their concert in Dresden...this song catched my heart....
btw do you think that it is real Kyo´s blood when he is on stage???

[Thirteen]

I do like both Clever Sleazoids, but the single is obviously easier to understand. I heard the video is coming on MTV2 soon, but are they making a new one?

[Reita-kun]

Hello! Guess what, I ordered these buttons...

I got them the other day... with other buttons to! I'm just missing Kaoru <33 Kyo is love <33

[*~EnvY~*]

Agreed on both counts - the album version of Ryoujoku is the better of the two versions, but the single version of Sleazoid is far superior to it's album version in my humble opinion - the choruses are better, as are the "Sky is deep and wide" lines. Some real good stuff on there, but I hope Die and Karou haven't completely abandoned the solos.... :(

yep i agree too
although the album version is getting better i'm always startled by the chorus ^^°
btw what do you think of kyo's vocals in the album?
cause i think his voice is soooooooooo going down :( i love the pledge but i think you can hear the strain on his voice it feels as if he can't sing like he used to.....

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

their new album is REALLY good!!
i love The pledge, and Conceived sorrow and most of all
Namamekashiki Ansoku, Tamerai ni Hohoemi x3!!
when i saw diru live,
Kyo sang Repitition of hatred and The fatal beleiver it was so amazing <3
they also sang Obscure which is one of my fav songs :3

[Dirufanboy]

yep i agree too
although the album version is getting better i'm always startled by the chorus ^^°
btw what do you think of kyo's vocals in the album?
cause i think his voice is soooooooooo going down :( i love the pledge but i think you can hear the strain on his voice it feels as if he can't sing like he used to.....
To be honest I have no problems with his voice on MOAB. I had worried after hearing ASOM that the whole album was basically going to be a scream fest, but he really pleasantly surprised me - especially with stuff like Conceived Sorrow (< O__O) and The Pledge - Kyo's voice isn't gone, its just being used differently with a few new surprises thrown in, like the high pitched squeals which are just fantastic :happy:

Wow, Hitsugi_love - you got to hear Obscure? Niiiiiiice. :-) It's probably my absolute favourite Diru song, that and FILTH - I can't choose! O_O
I've never seen them live but would go nuts if they played Obscure.... :cool:

[the-fatal-believer]

Obscure is a great song. i cant say if it is my fav or not(but i rly like it a lot >_<). For me their best is aint afraid to die . Music composed here is rly on a high level.Very emotional....

then i like mistu no tsuba /tsumi to batsu (it has 2 titles so i hope i wrote em right ^^;;;).
Also cage is interestin for Toshiya´s solo here.


MOAB is amazing. i saw DVD despair in the womb and conceived sorrow is *heart*. Also grief and Rotting root.
What i like about Dir en grey is that each album has a different sound. it is always hard for me to pick up one song when my friends ask me to do it cause they want to know their style.

[*~EnvY~*]

yeah they keep changing styles but i still have a soft spot for 6 ugly
btw i do like MOAB don't misunderstand me i just feel like kyo's voice is changing and that he can't do wt he could.... i dont know if its very clear ...anyway ignore that
i think the song i liked best in live was.....maybe increase blue....or obscure .....or child prey cause everyone's singing together and you can see they're pleased....or....merciless cult....gaaahhh i cant chose i think those guys are amazing in live anyway and i wish they'd come to france i dont know why they're snobbing us like that :( no fair :(:(

[Reita-kun]

I think I want to order more buttons from them... because I love them so much... LOL!

[*~EnvY~*]

lol i bought a few while in japan this summer and i think my fave remains the one of kyo in his The Final outfit it looks great as a button ^^
btw would anyone have recent pics of deg? (im too lazy to go through the thread right now) like from MOAB?

[Reita-kun]

thats so cool... you got them when you were in Japan... ^^

Gomen, I dont have any pictures of them... well nothing recent anyway... my computer suffered a minor mishap.... so now its gone... as an added bonus, I have nothing J-rock anymore... but yeah... I dont have any pictures...

[*~EnvY~*]

'course i'd help out i can't imagine how i'd be if i lost all my jrock and i know i'd be glad someone help me get some back ^^
but we're getting off track here who's planning to go see deg live this summer in europe?

[Reita-kun]

Thanks again EnvY, I'll let you know when I get a new computer... <33

I wanted to go see them this summer... but I cant... I have school and work to go to... I bet Kyo-sama would look AWESOME! as a matter of fact... THEY ALL WOULD! <33

[*~EnvY~*]

i know i was really impressed by them all but mostly by Die cos i was in front of him in Paris....he's so focused during lives it's terrific! i loved it ^^

well that confirms that....their new pics are too dark (as in "we can't see them" kind of dark) in my opinion i wish we could see them better....the only 'clear' pic i've seen of marrow is the poster i have when they have their Rioujouku no ame outfits....

[pinkbuta304]

OMG new Diru pics! :shock: thank you! it looks like your ex-wallpaper will be my new wall paper lol
oh and about Kyo's voice, i'm pretty sure it has A LOT to do with his smoking:smoke:

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

Diru is comming back this summer i'm gonna go see them again!! :3!!
They played merciless cult and dead tree at that part it became really emotional half the audience was in tears and so was kyo ;__; i had such a good time i must go see them again >__<!
i really hope you all get a chance to see them live it's such an amazing experience *__*!

[yoru_kozi]

*le gasp x2*
My my, Kyo was in tears you say?? *-*
With an audience like that I could understand why...it's Garden all over again :lol:

[Reita-kun]

Kyo-sama was in tears? no... way...

[*~EnvY~*]

^
doesn't really surprise me cos in Paris he was clos to crying a few times....and i THINK he actually cried at the end.....before emptying a bucket of water on himself....^^°

[the-fatal-believer]

i think i can post it here ,,,*hopes**
this is a necklace my friends gave me for my 19th birthday .It is kyo´s name in kanji , you should probably know that ^_~. made especially for me*0*. i almost fainted when i saw it back then. i am not sure but i have not heard u can buy this somewhere .. if yes it does not matter cause in my country no *feels special XDDD***:blush: .....waaah....
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h210/blackjiang/kzo.jpg

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

omg that's such a kool necklace!!! :love:
Did your friend get it custom made or something??
i want one T^T!!!
and yes, kyo was in tears he even had a big sad face on ;__;
it was really emotional at the concert with everyone singing along~

[Dirufanboy]

For me their best is aint afraid to die . Music composed here is rly on a high level.Very emotional....
What i like about Dir en grey is that each album has a different sound. it is always hard for me to pick up one song when my friends ask me to do it cause they want to know their style.
Agreed on both counts - Diru's ever changing/evolving style is part of what makes them utterly astonishing as artists - you could never acuse them of being stagnant or out of ideas.
Aint Afraid is also in my top five, a truly brilliant masterpiece. I actually had a dream about Kyo which had the closing piano phrase from Aint Afraid playing in the background. After I woke up I felt weird - kinda all warm and secure, if that makes any kind of sense :blush:

[yoru_kozi]

That's seriously a one in a million necklace you have there *_* :lol:

^Their ever changing style is what really attracted me to them ^^ You had a dream about the closing piano? I have yet to exprerience a dream concerning Diru... T_T

[semi~sweet]

that is an awsome necklace
i hope i get to go to one of their concerts, i just bought the morrow of a bone a few day ago and i love it

[pinkbuta304]

haha thats funny! Funniest diru dream i've had was the one i had the night after i saw them live. I had a dream that kyo was on stage doing a dance wearing girl clothes! :hihi: weired i know!

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

wahhh shinya driving?!? XDDD
He's so fragile and small to drive crazy :D
The funniest diru dream i've had is
Ruki from gazette, Me and Kyo were sitting in a blank room with paper clips hair clips and all kinds of random junk then Ruki picked up the paper clips and threw them at kyo and kyo started attacking all the stuff and throwing it everywhere XDDD it was wierd...

[yoru_kozi]

LMFAO!! all of those are hilarious >.< :lol:
Kyo dancing wearing girl clothes?? :love: THAT I want to see!!
Shinya driving wild from Godzilla...Kyo and Reita being A.D.D on you....*sigh*
you have ALL made my day. period. :p

[Japanimaniac]

Kyo dancing in girl clothes? Watch the PV for Unkown...Despair...A Lost :p Or any Missa/Gauze era video. :-)

I'm after some Saku, Obscure and Child Prey caps. *crosses fingers* ^__^

[Japanimaniac]

....I somehow managed to look over this video until just now. Browsing through YouTube...I find Diru's "Message to [a knot]". It was awesome!! Poor Shinya....and Kyo. Quiet and brooding the entire time...and then... "No more calling me chan!" :lol:

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

omg they dont call each other "chan" anymore D:!!
awww


OMG KYO
wahh those pics are so beautiful thanks envy X3!

[pinkbuta304]

here are some child prey pics

[dakkii]

meh.... it says on kyo's myspace that he's single (not that he would say otherwise in public)... but i don't think he's getting married any time soon. i think he thinks it might mess up his career *hunch*

yay child prey! oh, and i'm trying to come the the show in LA, but i might be in japan *_* of course, i finally go to japan and diru isn't there...

look at this sweet gif of Kyo I found

[kouji-sama]

whoa shi-! just had to pop in and say I wuv that gif :lol:

and the candyseller!kyo makes me...hungry?

[Precious4e]

Yay the Deftones tour added more dates.
Now there are TWO dates in NYC ....hehe wonder if I should go to both

http://www.deftones.com/6/index.html

[rechino]

is he mad of something or what...
but looks cool :cool:

[Bloodlust]

ANy camera operator that would stand that close to Kyo during a show must be incredibly dumb. At least Kyo's actions would boot the noob out of the gene pool! But I don't think it was a person, just a camera mounted on the stage. He threw the box thingy in Denver too. Just about took out a roadie... I laughed... so did the roadie.

[pinkbuta304]

haha kyo is violent. He through his crate around at the LA show too! I remember it like it was yesterday :-)

[monnichi]

Ahh, dir en grey..:) I'm going to Munchen's concert, anyone else? Actually I'm quite a new fan and have never seen them live *excited*

[Bloodlust]

Kyo would do fine in America. I just don't think he likes doing interviews.

[Bloodlust]

Well, he so rarely does them, I would assume it's more personal preference than anything else. Besides, I'm sure he has enough class to not kick the crap out of an interviewer or destroy a set or something :p But he is scary. That's part of what makes him soooo yummy!

[Anchyyy]

lol he would sell that..I have a feeling O.O
look at this sweet gif of Kyo I found
http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t123/cassie_perkins300/filmato111na4.gif

Since when it's sweet if you throw something at the camera? :shock:

[Bloodlust]

Since he's Kyo. I don't think anyone in here judges him as harshly as the rest of society does. I like the gif... I don't think he meant to hit the camera, though.

[kouji-sama]

yeah, I think he was just chucking it in the general direction of the camera, but not the camera itself. If anything, they stuck the camera there to get the shot of Kyo throwing the crate.

[dakkii]

i bet shinya flinched XD and if totchi had wandered back there O.O ahahaha! *funny head pictures*

and he's just being kyo when he's on stage... i'm not sure he cares about or even is thinking about equipment while he's performing. i'm sure the roadies are used to it XD

EDIT: by the way i totally stole the gif and used it as a sig on another forum and everyone freaked out at its awsomeness. ^_^ except on my school forum... they thought it was a shopping cart XD XD XD

[BlackSoul]

that gif was really awesome..when any other person would do that I would be scared but it's Kyo and he just acts like that on stage...and I have to admit it makes him sexy!!!!
and I'm pretty sure he didn't want to destroy the camera...he wanted just to throw something and didn't care about the direction^^

[Bloodlust]

i bet shinya flinched XD and if totchi had wandered back there O.O ahahaha! *funny head pictures*

Kyo threw the crate in Shinya's direction in Denver and he didn't bat an eyelash. Plus some jerk threw a water bottle and just about hit both Kyo and Shinya and they didn't even seem to notice. Either they both have nerves of steel or they are too involved in performing to notice other things.

[andie]

i guess they were too involved with their performance.that was so mean,if ever one of them was hit i am sure that vermin is dead by now

[dakkii]

^yea... people really suck sometimes... i don't understand how someone could do that when kyo is $%&@^@ BLEEDING up there, both physically and emotionally. no. souls.

[Anchyyy]

Since he's Kyo. I don't think anyone in here judges him as harshly as the rest of society does. I like the gif... I don't think he meant to hit the camera, though.

I'm not judging him. I just asked lol. It's not sweet for me, but that doesn't mean i don't like kyo. I'm just not so crazy about him and that doesn't mean i don't like him. I do. But i like his vocal and DeG music a lot more than members of the band. The music is important!! Not the looks and doings of the band.

If i, the simple mortal, would throw something at the camera, i would probably be marked as the worse human being on the planet. Well... who cares.

[Bloodlust]

Well, I wouldn't think you were the worst, but I break stuff a lot so... but only my own stuff!

It's true, the music is what's important. Most of the time, that's all I concern myself with, but Kyo strikes me as a kindred spirit, so I take more notice.

Hehe, 'simple mortal'... I like that.

[andie]

i love kyo, i love the sincerity of his voice and the passion he puts in his work,he doesnt care if his actions is taboo for others because he will do what he wants,he is true to himself and he is a very honest to himself.

i salute to kyo and the rest of DeG.

[Bloodlust]

He definitely does not care what people think about his actions. Honesty is always the best policy, even with yourself. Kyo's the best. That's why I fly all over the place to see DEG perform!

[Saishu]

Huh...

I was expecting to see posts about how Diru played Jealous -reverse- and an unplugged version of Zakuro at their 4/21 show. Then, last night, they apparently played Karasu.

This is all coming from setlist.com.

[daki]

[Sha]

Just wanted to say hi, I saw this site on my best friends computer and was like 'you know I need to get on that site it's pretty cool'.. so here I am. Karou and Die are amazing, would love for them to come closer to where I live to see them LIVE. But, well, HI :)
