lol i asure you they do not have any happy songs... :relief: there are "high" songs though...

I meant that some of their songs sound "happy". ( :worried: ) I don't know how to say it but I'm sure you know what I mean....

Songs like Audrey or Umbrella or Yokan are really good "to bring good mood"....

But I know that the lyrics of Kyo can be very different from what the song sounds....

mizerable_d

Jan 30, 2005, 04:29

ooo yes. yokan is very unbringing.umbrella sounded like fun sing along(but then the lyrics *sweatdrop*) Children and Jessica sounds upbeat as well. i thought 304goshitsu hakushi no sakura was happy until i read the lyrics...and cried T_T

their latest is Vulgar

isayhello

Jan 30, 2005, 07:13

Vulgar. right. say, you don´t happen to have a homepage of you own with pics on diru or something?

mizerable_d

Jan 30, 2005, 08:03

oh pretty avatar Enora ^^ i like it.

okay occurding to kyo, all his songs are love songs.......... my question is, how the hell do you consider ALL of diru's songs a love song!?
i mean i guess SAKU is a love song too
then again, Kyo lies like hell in interviews, so he might be joking... lol there's no way in hell that berry is a love song, ne? :p

vulgar is a good cd, but i think you(isayhello) should get Six ugly lol i just love the songs on it ^^ but then again all their cds are good

tell me this: would you guys give EVERYTHING you´ve got to meet diru? How important is diru to you? Are you really really REALLY devoted, or are you satisfied only listening to their CDs and downloading some pics...? (just testing....)

Enora

Jan 30, 2005, 22:58

Your questions are quite weird Isayhello.... :okashii:

Anyway about dir en grey I would say that my dream at the moment is to see them live!!!! Listenning to their CD and watching their dvds is not enough....

I hope my dream will come true and that they will come in Europe very soon.......

mizerable_d

Jan 31, 2005, 02:35

Diru's music tends to be more dark but its not EXTREMELY dark. Sad and twisted at times yes but not really dark (I am twisted in the brain so yeh....-_-;;;; )

Im not Gothic despite what people like to believe... I dont really think of myself as punk either...I am a VK fan so I guess you could call me very visual, which I am XDDD, but I dont really fit into and catagories like that....

haha Well Obscure, You have it better then me. The only people in my school who like VK are the ones I have introduced to it, my sister and my friend Ryan....wait no Suzanna too...so really that leaves only 2 fans before I came and both are more Gackt fans and the such.
lol yes my friends find me very twisted and disturbing for liking Diru's PVs and looks, but meh.

you both have it better than me, there's like 2 anime fans who only know wat vk is but dont listen and one of my friend only likes Diru cuz i got her into it...^^;;;

tell me this: would you guys give EVERYTHING you´ve got to meet diru? How important is diru to you? Are you really really REALLY devoted, or are you satisfied only listening to their CDs and downloading some pics...? (just testing....)
i wouldnt give EVERYTHING i've got. i mean i need it to live. one day i was thinking about going to their live and meeting them then i would kill my self but it just dont work...lol but i really wish to see them live! im saving up for it too! lol i would have to pay everything from ticket to travel fee to hotel to food so i still need a job, but im working hard towards it! :box: lol only if they could come to canada, or even the US! then i can drive or fly depending on distance and it would cost less than going t japan! but i want to go to japan so ya... i will stop talking now... :blush:

Enora

Jan 31, 2005, 05:04

Kyo is NOT the leader!!! The leader is Kaoru, the most serious and mature in the band!!!

Kyo usually sleeps during interviews.... I can't imagine him being the leader.... No way....

isayhello

Jan 31, 2005, 05:29

is this because you´re into Kaoru or is it true... (^_^)

mizerable_d

Jan 31, 2005, 05:36

ya Kaoru is THE leader-san.

and japan is AWSOME(havent been there either).

isayhello

Jan 31, 2005, 19:35

Are there many interwievs with diru? Or do they mostly keep silent and mysterious?

isayhello

Jan 31, 2005, 23:17

oh, oh, one more thing, could you guys please please tell me a little about each of the members of diru. I mean, they must all have different personalities and different ways of acting...? Tell me all you know! (Thanks)

Enora

Feb 1, 2005, 00:07

The "clichés" of dir en grey"s member:

- Kyo: enjoys sleeping, lying, hurting himself.....

- Kaoru: enjoys working, being scary and working....

- Die: enjoys laughing like a mad man, having fun of Shinya, .... He has a really great smile!!!!!

Toshiya: enjoys being sexy, flirting, having fun and he can cry very easyly....

- Shinya: very shy at a first sight but have a wonderful smile as well. And he also has too big arms for his girly face I think.... :cool:

Ok.... That was stupid, I don't know them but that's what is usually said on them.....

mizerable_d

Feb 1, 2005, 01:27

http://www.crysania.com/tattered/who.html
that is one of the best diru sites i've ever been to, it should give you some good ideas on diru.
i have a short interview clip of kyo and kaoru talking about something...you can pm me if you want it ^^

isayhello

Feb 1, 2005, 05:24

Thanks, Enora: So Kyo likes lying and hurting himself? Maybe he should get a new habit, playing tennis..? haha.

Thanks also Miz, that homepage is good, (I haven´t finished reading it yet...) Now I have checked up a lot about diru and seen a lot of pictures. Man, those guys are really beautiful, I mean, they are really really REALLY good-looking! I love the pictures taken on various concerts, instead of in a studio - the concert ones are more real, and they still look sooooooo good. Die HAS a great smile.

I would wanna see this video-clip with Kyo and Kaoru, but pm?? whadda? besides, my computer is messed up right now, we don´t even have media player, haha.

Are the members of diru always depressed - they seem a little "dark", not only their image, but also the members themselves, they seen a little melancholy. (sp?)
Shinya seems really depressed about life?

Enora

Feb 1, 2005, 05:49

They are not always depressed, they have a lot of fun together!!!! Just watch them backstage.... Even Kyo can be "happy" sometimes... (I think of Miyaku making of when he is jumping up and down.... :cool: )

And Shinya is not that depressed, he can smile as well (especially when there are animals around....)

ObscureAngel

Feb 1, 2005, 06:18

isay: Kyo HATES sports, he absolutly hates them.

mizerable_d

Feb 1, 2005, 07:46

ya Kyo HATE sports, as so do i. ^^;;;

Diru is dark, but in life they are pretty happy, i mean they're always laughing and cracking jokes, ne? kyo too, i dont think he is a very depressed person... ^^ they are VERY good-looking

oh ya, PM=priviate messaging, and by the way the clip i have is a sound clip not a video clip im sorry ^^;;; but i do have diru live clips and PVs is if you want, just private message me ^___________^

Feb 1, 2005, 12:08

I can't remember who it was, but someone from this site had emailed me Dir En Grey mp3's...I listened to a few of them and at first I wasn't interested in any of the songs except Machiavellism, but now I've gotten more curious and have started listening to more of their songs and I've been stuck on their song Cage for a few days now..I just repeatedly listen to it..I can't get enough of it..I know its a pretty old song of their's but its still really really good...^^

Camui

Feb 3, 2005, 12:12

*high fives mizerable_d back*...Umbrella...Hades...I haven't heard those..the titles are kinda strange though..lol ^^

i havent heard hades... ^^;; but Umbrella is definatly good! ^_____________^

isayhello

Feb 4, 2005, 01:25

Do diru have any up-beat songs at all? (happy sounding songs..)

mizerable_d

Feb 4, 2005, 02:16

sure they do, Umbrella is pretty happy. Yokan is VERY happy(sounding). so is Jessica. I'll is pretty happy as well.

isayhello

Feb 4, 2005, 04:53

oooh. right. umbrella... like the sound of that.

Illaparatzo-sama

Feb 4, 2005, 04:59

Jessica, Umbrella, Yokan. Berry has quite a happy sounding chorus, even if it is extremely miserable in reality. Machiavellism, ZOMBOID, Domestic Fxxker Family and Children are upbeat, too. Child Prey is... very energetic, but not HAPPY. audrey is laid back, but again, not necessarily happy. And then there is, of course, R to the core. It's only about two minutes long, but still pretty good.

Enora

Feb 4, 2005, 05:01

Don't forget Tayio no ano and garden as well: they sound happy as well I think....
I just love the bass solo in Garden.... :love:

ObscureAngel

i heard they played in new york once or twice and then i know they've been to LA.
(i don't know if they preformed there or they just visited, but they were there)

all the diru fans i know were all pissed off because they weren't able to go. ^^

mizerable_d

Feb 12, 2005, 02:40

they played in new york? how come i didnt know about this? when? wat year? i know Gackt went to LA but Diru!? how come no one knows?! AHHHHHH dude they did not play in new york, did they?

isayhello

Feb 12, 2005, 05:17

whoa, secret performances... what!? So diru HAS played in the US.

I stared at Toshiyas smile for like............. an hour. His smile. Can't describe. Teeth.
I just love the way his teeth are...not in the right place, his teeth are messy but it still looks HOT HOT HOT. I'm in love with Toshiya. *insane person* :love: :love:
(that was my confession.)

Illaparatzo-sama

Feb 12, 2005, 05:58

No, they have not played in the US. Only place outside of Japan was a couple of other countries in Asia. uglybugfaceman, please don't spread unfounded rumors.

Oh yes, and they've recorded (Gauze [or was it Macabre?] & Withering to death) in L.A.

mizerable_d

Feb 12, 2005, 08:04

thank you Lydia *was so confused* i knew it! muahahaha i dont wanna miss anything that happens about Diru.

lol i adore Totchi's face as well! so kawaii!

Feb 17, 2005, 23:23

I listened to and saw the video with the song Cube. Waaaa, good! I like that song! Kyo is such a good singer, he really knows how to use that voice of his!

Ok, ok, Maybe you all heard that song a thousand years ago, but I'm a little slow and only just started... AND NOW I WANT TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS FOR THEM AND THAT SONG and THE VIDEO. I do it like this:

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :love: :cute: :love: :cute:

dirus lyrics are a perfect mix between dark and sad
the way it sounds has got a big influence in my lyrics *sigh*
but because these are so bad nobody notice XD

i am no goth or 'vk goth'
i like the style (okay my hair looks like kaorus mostly [now like hizumis X'D])
and i'm wearing black clothes all the time (i love my loooong leather coat XD)
but that dont make a goth or am i wrong?

can anybody tell how much diru albums are there?
i've got just kisou,macabre,gauze,vulgar,six ugly and missa

greetings

thats pretty much all of diru's albums. well there's still the remix album...but i have no clue how much that costs. Withering to Death is coming out in March and i believe it costs around $30?

lol isayhello, it's ok ^^ [KR] cube is my fav Diru PV i just love the plot and the costumes in it!

[KR] cube is my fav Diru PV i just love the plot and the costumes in it!

What plot?

Talking about Withering to Death I was at a book shop the other day and I was checking out the music magazines and I saw a one page advertisement for Withering to Death and there was this group picture of Dir en Grey and I was shocked to see how everyone looks have changed. They don't look anything like before. Kyo got my attention since he looks like an old man now the only member I could picture the same was Shinya.

Maybe that was just one weird picture...

Their look for Withering to death is really nice, especially Kyo's. He looks great without weird contacts and bleached hair. Toshiya and Kaoru have looked pretty much the same since Vulgar, with slight changes here and there, and Die looks good. Shinya is just boring. :|

Tsuki to tawamure

Feb 18, 2005, 15:49

The plot? The assassination of Kyo, maybe? How each of the members had their own role to play, although I have no idea why on earth Shinya needed to kill some guy in the ladie's bathroom. wtf. *shrugs.*

Shinya is just boring. :|
I don't think so, but each to his own. :P

I really like how Kyo looks. A few of my friends think he looks ****** with the short hair, but I think it looks rather nice on him. =\ We get to see more of those beautiful eyes. <3333

I think Totchi just looks like a crackwhore. :sorry: Please don't maim me for my opinion. Thank you.

Horizon

Feb 18, 2005, 19:19

Toshiya looks like a crackwhore...? CRACKWHORE! CRACKWHORE! -giggles insanely-

Anyway, now that I've got that out of my system...Xb

KR[Cube] does have a plot I suppose. Kyo's an evil pimp. Shinya's either a murdering hoe or just some psycho who doesn't like drunks. Toshiya's Kyo's *****. Die's some asassinator and Kaoru...Well, he's just Kaoru...? Xb

So yesh, it's all about killing Kyo...How rude!

And as for Shinya, he may just be "boring" as you oh-so elegantly put it, but at least he's a talented drummer. And hey! He's pretty too! And even better! He's around hot JRockers all the time, no? XDD

Illaparatzo-sama

Feb 19, 2005, 06:41

I should rephrase that - Shinya himself is not boring, his look is. He never changes it.

He dyed his hair blonde once! And he had those dreads/braids or whatever! Haha! XDD

As for Toshiya looking like a crackwhore...

I'm just gonna assume none of you have ever seen a crackwhore before.

Actually, no, but I thought it was just funny. Tee...Crackwhore...

Kyo? old man? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *gets all defensive* nah nah he doesnt look THAT old. i think he looks good. in fact he never really looks bad anywhere.
What plot?
uh, kyo being a pimp, and Die is on a mission to kill him with the help of Kaoru undercover as a bartender and Shinya a drunk killer? and ***** toshiya taking part the weird guy's hand...
I think Totchi just looks like a crackwhore. Please don't maim me for my opinion. Thank you.

they changed their style on vulgar
is withering to death 'old-fashioned' again?

mizerable_d

Feb 20, 2005, 04:00

i loved the vulgar style. withering to death is probably the most different style of all of Diru's past styles...i think. on their website the pics look so "normal"...and they all have really short hair except totchi and shinya.

Leader-sama

Feb 21, 2005, 00:42

vulgar isnt bad
but i like the gauze style better
the stuff like cage or yurameki *bg*
(or mazohyst of decadence *sigh*okay, the whole thing's just great)

withering to death sounds interesting
i'm really curios
need more information *g*

but shinya with short hair...i liked it middle-long
well, we'll see
btw. (there were a discussion in this thread)
the greatest diru is member is in fact kaoru *smirk*

Kyo_Karou_Fangirl

Feb 21, 2005, 03:00

I have to say that I adore Cage because it was my first song, Yokan, and Ain't afraid to Die. Berry fits in there somewhere as well. I havn't seen many PV's, so you'll have to excuse my little knowledge on them.
As for my fav member? IT's either Karou or Kyo. I lurve Kyo's voice andKarou is,well. . Karou XP . Shinya's awsome at drums, but I just don't see him playing them. I want to see Shinya play Guitar. LEast fav mmeber. IS, well, Die due to my lack of intrest and knowledge on him. Poor Die. T_T

mizerable_d

Feb 21, 2005, 06:52

i think kyo is the greastest. not just of Diru, of all musicians...^^
Diru really changes their style basically every album. the Gauze look was similar to their indies time look, macabre was a little bit different but i cant really describe, kisou was really different(again cant describe it due to me sucking at descirbing), Vulgar is a more dark look and now they're pretty much "normal" looking...

PrincessBerriKiller

Feb 22, 2005, 09:02

I think Withering sounds great so far. And I love both of their appearances as visual and as "normal".

PrincessBerriKiller

Feb 22, 2005, 09:11

hmmm I think I have to say my current favourite will be Saku because I t just hasen't gotten enough love. My friend... she is crazy. She didnt like it, but I am glad that she didnt give up hope and is still buying Withering. She said if it was as dissappointing to her as Saku she was going to sell it and from what she had heard, she didnt really like it so far...I was like "you are crazy. Saku was awsome."

Camui

Feb 22, 2005, 12:14

There're a lot there, and it's really good cause you can zoom in on the kanji to 300 or 400%. For romaji lyrics, try http://www.finalfantasy-world.de/deg/lyrics.htm, though it doesn't have the more recent songs.

edit:

Centigrade-J also has a large section of Deg lyrics, translated and romaji. http://www.centigrade-j.com/translations/direngrey.htm

Cage is a really attractive song, especially if you like bass. 2 of my friends who never listened to jrock before listened to Cage and fell in love, now they listen to a whole bunch of Deg.

Feb 23, 2005, 09:32

eh..hello I am new here but I have been a fan of Diru for a very long time :cool: . Diru's P.V.s are cool I have alot of them on my computer, they are awesome and I love their style. I actually have ordered Diru's Withering to Death, their new album, and I'm so happy and I can't wait to get it ^-^

Also I noticed earlier that the posts from awhile ago [sorry if this is late] about their personalities and something about them being dark and having fun too O_o that is kinda true.. I um..know people who have met them, they said that Kyo was a very nice person to hold a conversation with and Kaoru and Toshiya were very interesting and they got along very well. I didn't ask that much detail but they aren't the "deep dark people" that some people think they are. Eh..well..I've said what I wanted to say..eh..viva la pistachio! [have to see the 5 Kingdom Ugly dvd to get that one xD]

gothic lolita is kawaii - specially when it´s really really doll-like. (so nice!)

besides, pretty difficult to dress like the Dir en Grey-members do. I mean, where could you get the clothes!!?!? (NOT in Sweden at least. seems like japan has the coolest stores.)

I dress Visual Kei-ish every day. Before I found out bout' j-rock I didn't have a style. I looked really boring. But when I found out bout J-Rock and Diru I started dressing that way cause I thought their style was THE COOLEST EVER! And I still do. My favorite color has always been purple. ^^ And as in Sweden Norway dosn't hold any cool Visual Kei stores. So I make my own designed clothes. And I also cosplay Kaoru. ^^

wait.. you make your own clothes? you sew them yourself? Or you just design them and let someone sew them?

I really couldn't make my own clothes. and having someone sew them is expensive!!

I'll have to go to Tokyo instead... :-)

You know, speaking of bass...I must be one of the only people that don't think Shinya or Toshiya shined until Vulgar. I hardly hear any drums or bass lines that are all that catchy in any of their previous CDs. But in Vulgar, most of the songs have you on the edge of your seat waiting for the drums or bass to come in.

Illaparatzo-sama

Feb 26, 2005, 03:12

I think Shinya's started coming in most obviously on Kisou, with tracks like ZOMBOID, Domestic ****er Family, FILTH and Karasu, and was really impressive on Six ugly. Bass was obvious from Macabre, with songs like egnirys cimredopyh and KR Cube. I've never had a problem not being able to hear them or with catchy drums or basslines not being around. $$$

Not so much that I haven't been able to hear them as they just don't catch my attention like they do in Vulgar. Like I said, probably just me. But Audience Killer Loop, The IIId Empire, Syokubeni, Red...[em], Drain Away, Obscure, and Child Prey all thrive off of killer bass or drums, or both. And it's no secret that Sojou No Uta would be nothing without it's bass. -shrug- Just happens to be what my ears hear, and what pleases them.

Wow, that is a hard question... here are my top 4 Dir en Grey songs:

Kasumi, Yokan, The Final, and R To The Core.

Shinya's drums were extremely impressive in Umbrella and Toshiya's bass was the best in Cage ^^

Camui

Feb 26, 2005, 12:13

I agree about Toshiya's bass in Cage...its soo awesome...I always end up tapping or humming to it whenever I hear it...its even made me like the bass more than I usually tend to...^^

Ok... I just discovered this site. Apparently this organization is trying to persuade Dir en Grey to come to America. They are trying to prove that there is a big enough fan-base here and fans willing to travel to see them perform. They hope to hold the concert somewhere in the Mid-West.

Don't worry... I checked. It's a recent site and was updated just yesterday.

I'm not sure that it would even work, but what could it hurt to sign the petion? I did. They don't even have 50 signatures yet and they have a goal of 3,500 signatures.

Please share this website on other forums, with friends, and such. Who knows... it could actually work. Like I said... it can't hurt either.

You've got PLC that i think finished their tour and now are on their way( if not done already) to disbanding,

Uhhhh.

What the ****?
No. PLC is not disbanding, nor are they on their way to it. They're doing what are called "side projects". They don't have a tour scheduled for this summer, so they're expanding their horizons a bit. Aya and seek are only doing a temporary thing with Isabelle, Yura-sama is doing a quickie tour, and Daishi has for the forseeable future only this one single scheduled and done with. They have an autumn tour scheduled, I'm sure. If solo workings were a sign of disbandment, L'arc would be years dead.

So many to choose from! Dir en grey is my favorite Japanese band and Kyo's voice is just so... original, although, he can be out of tone at times (GOMEN NASAI KYO!!!), but their music still kicks ***.
My favorite songs include:
Cage
Akuro No Oka
Yokan
raison detre
ASH
Mr. NEWSMAN
umbrella
HOTARUBI
ZOMBOID
GYAKUJOU TANNOU KELOID MILK
MUSHI
Shinsou #3
SYOKUBENI/SHOKUBENI
KASUMI
DRAIN AWAY
OBSCURE
Child Prey
Merciless Cult-saku-
GARBAGE
THE FINAL
KODOU

Yeah, I know a LOOONG list, but do note, I actually cut some (or a lot, depends on the way you look at it ^^) songs off of this list to make it... err. somewhat shorter *nervous laugh* :relief:

Japanimaniac

Jun 12, 2005, 20:56

I enjoy pretty much all of Diru's music, but I gotta admit that their rock-sounding stuff is my favorite. -ZAN-, Wake, audience KILLER LOOP, RED...[em], Mr. NEWSMAN, and MARMALADE CHAINSAW are definitely some of my top songs. :cool:

Average_Psycho

Jun 13, 2005, 01:41

I'll is a very good song, and so is Yokan, and ALL of hteir songs of course. But one thing about KODOU and THE FINAL, me and a friend from school find them very similar... >_> in terms of sound of course! ^^

pinkkillerkisou

Jun 13, 2005, 02:20

This is hard :?

Raison D'etre was the first song I got hooked on... I saw the PV and was like :shock:.

But Pink Killer was the song I got stuck on for the longest (nearly 4 months) I couldn't go a day without listening to it at least 5 times... It's probably my favorite. :p

Average_Psycho

Jun 13, 2005, 02:39

I like that PV... O_o
But for me, I didn't have my computer *hugs it desperately* until about a year ago, and all my friends were going on and on about Dir en grey, and I felt so... deprived. So the first song I actually heard from Dir en grey, was OBSCURE, and since I heard that song, I knew that all their stuff was great, and so... my obsession began ^^ But I really do love a lot of their older stuff as well, like Ain't Afraid To Die and Cage - Toshiya's bass is KILLER! - and other random songs... >_>

Kinsao

Jun 13, 2005, 02:44

My faves are Cage, Pink Killer and Fukai (can't choose out of those!). Although I've still got quite a bit of their stuff to get... and a coupla songs on the 'new - need to listen' list!!!

pinkkillerkisou

Jun 13, 2005, 02:46

I do too... but it's not a good pv to see first... something frilly like garden would have been easier on the eyes :lol:

lol I would have to change my answer like every DAY! I love every album equally, even the singles too... And I don't normally like nor buy singles, in fact, I'm getting an order delivered this week including the Ain't Afraid To Die single, and it's the FIRST single I have ever purchased... I just don't buy singles... I'll only buy Diru ones now though! :-)

pinkkillerkisou

Jun 13, 2005, 06:06

Jun 13, 2005, 06:20

Actually, I'm going to be ordering again in September, taking out all my money from the useless bank that my entire family loathes, and am going to buy the Code of Vulgar[ism DVD... At the moment, what I ordered, was of course, the AATD single, Gauze (I LOOOVE that CD!!!), Withering to death, and FINAL 2003 5 Ugly Kingdom. Did you know they're releasing 2 more PV DVDs? Average Fury, due the 29th of this month, and Average Psycho due the 27th of July... I'm buying those next as well ^^ :-)

pinkkillerkisou

Jun 13, 2005, 06:34

5 Ugly Kingdom is the best live I ever bought :-) You seriously won't regret it.

Hey we were talking about that... that they should release more PV collections. YES!!! :happy: *adds it to her list of things to buy*

And the prices from the Official site...

Average Psycho = 2, 625 (Yen of course)

pinkkillerkisou

Jun 13, 2005, 07:06

I think I'm in heaven :love: *jumps up and down all excited*

That better be a remake of mazohyst... cause to put it on a PV collection with those really awesome PVs is laughable :D

Average_Psycho

Jun 13, 2005, 07:08

I'm glad to have pleased you... i haven't even seen the original PV of mazohyst of decadence, but I can only assume it will be awesome.

*chokes* No... you haven't seen MoD... it is horendous... it's a disgrace to the song. Sure it's artistic in a way and symbolic but it is boring as hell and makes you mentally insane.

Dollporn

Jun 13, 2005, 07:45

Which song?
Awww, that's allmost as hard as picking one of the members...
I think Kasumi was my first favourite, and then the FINAL... But now they change all the time. I love all of they're songs, they just switch back and forth being favourites.
It's been Machiavellism for a while, but I'm real addicted to R to the Core now :cute:
It's the most underestimated Diru song in history I think, it's so good!:balloon:

I was real scared actually, finding out Kyos attitude towards abotion. Though I really don't want to discuss this with anyone here, I just had to get it out.

Even after all this time, my favorite Dir En Grey song is still Cage, although I find the video a little disturbing...lol...I just love the beggining...I really wish I could find a music box that plays that, that would be soo awesome ^^

Average_Psycho

Jun 13, 2005, 08:28

It WOULD be awesome if you could actually find a music box that plays that song! A lot of things that disturb other people don't bother me at all... People call me weird... If Manson and Diru can't creep me out or anything, then what can?

That was a long time ago too... but it still hurts...

Illaparatzo-sama

Jun 14, 2005, 07:58

They won't pay attention with a petition. I know someone who tried to get a tour set up for them, clubs and all, and the management (Dynamite Tommy in particular) ignored them. Dynamite Tommy is a jackass and he'll only let them play somewhere that he thinks will make him money. If he doesn't think that, they're not going anywhere. One major reason why they're barely branching out into Europe after all this time.

pinkkillerkisou

Jun 14, 2005, 08:08

Errr... :okashii: I think there will be a really great turn out if they came to America, though. I know I would travel to where ever they go... no matter where it was. I mean... there's a huge fanbase here... I'm sure there are plenty of fans who would do the same. :?

It's just stupid that other bands keep coming and they aren't... I keep missing these lives to save money for Dir en Grey if they come... if they don't I'll be so angry. :okashii:

pinkkillerkisou

Jun 14, 2005, 08:23

Not just that... I am missing shows I really want to see... not just sort of wanted to see... I mean I was dying to see them. Do they have any idea the things of done without? I'm not being stupid either... I'm talking important stuff like good food and clothing. All so I can support these bands and they DONT COME HERE... *pulls her hair* You think Kyo's scary... I will be 10 thousand times more frightening if I never see them live.

I'm just gonna go sit in the corner and cool off now. *steaming*

I don't know much about the 'situation', but thosiya says they want to go, but they're waiting for the right time, thet has to be positive...

pinkkillerkisou

Jun 22, 2005, 13:28

From what Illaparatzo has said I believe if they come here it would be somewhere that fans can easily get to, but would still be a big enough based to make a large profit. I would think it would be somewhere like California or Texas since those are largely gig states... or possibly somewhere in middle America.

Granted my word isn't official or anything... take it as a theory.

Illaparatzo-sama

Jun 24, 2005, 13:45

No, he didn't. That would be going very far, even for him. He scratches, that's about it. And he doesn't enjoy it when people think it's great entertainment and egg him on in that.

Tsuki to tawamure

I have no patience for people who encourage. Although, to do it, is at least understandable for me, but I don't have patience for people who see such as *only* 'entertainment'. To spectate is one thing, encourage is another.

I couldn't find the link for the petition. Anyways, I'm not a fan of Dir En Grey. I listened to an album, or two but that's all. I would still be interested in watching them perform in the USA though. I do hope they are doing something besides have 3,500 people sign the petition, and then e-mail it to the band. That will not do at all! They have to e-mail it their record label in japanese, and english.

It's a great album, but not my favorite. I think it's without a doubt their least diverse album.

Garbage is a ridiculously delicious song is it not though. Possibly my favorite off the album, but it's so hard to choose. Machiavellism is catchy... it has that tendency to get stuck in your head for days and drive you insane (but in a good way :relief:)

Jul 11, 2005, 08:23

At first I thought it was to ...westy. You know, not j-rock enough. But then I think I realized it was just because I had listened to so much j-rock I couldn't make out the clear difference anymore :p
I think it's a really good album. You just have to get used to the style.
Two of the slow songs I'm not really crazy about though. It's really backround music, I have diffeculties keeping my mind on the music, I just drift off.
But Saku, Machiavellism, Garbage, Jesus Christ... all of those I really like.
But I do miss the more alternative, j-rocky songs. The ones who could have bass solos without you really thinking about it, just because you expected them to be so varied.

Here I go writing a long post again. I wonder if anyone ever bothers to read them :relief:

Technically I had heard about their song Cage from a lot of my friends, but I never got around to getting the song. As it turns out, the firt Diru song I actually LISTENED to, was OBSCURE. It just finished downloading before Cage. And then I was hooked. OBSCURE shall forever be my favorite Diru song. Cage and everything else comes in second.

And about GAUZE being last, I said it was HARD!!! I love them all EQUALLY but having to make such a decision as that, I was basing everything on Kyo's voice, and because I think that VULGAR was a remarkable album. They had grown so much, gotten so much better and louder, I think it's one of their best albums really.

Aug 2, 2005, 22:13

i love withering to death!! oh man!! but i love all diru, so that's not really saying much...:souka:

hmm...as far as albums go...my order, from most favorite to least is:

1. Withering to Death
2. VULGAR/6 Ugly/Kisou (they are all equal in my eyes)
3. Macabre
4. GAUZE
5. Missa

the first stuff i heard was all from GAUZE and Missa, and i used to love it, but i love each album more and more. i still love all of it. :-) but i like their old stuff more because i'm more into the screamy stuff than indies. not to say i don't like indies, i just prefer screamy.

as to WtD, my favorite songs are Garbage (oh this song rocks awesomely!! :D whatever i may wish is a weed's life, indeed. :lol:), Kodou (this song is SO COOL! as is the PV! :blush:), Merciless Cult (more screamy!), dead tree (SCREAMY!!), and Machiavellism, in no order. well, Kodou, Garbage, and dead tree are all tied for first.

the first diru song i ever heard was Jessica, although i didn't realise it and so forgot. that was actually my first Jrock song ever. i heard it on a plane on the way home from Britland. i don't remember, i was so concentrated on the BoA song (...my embarrassing pop phase, please pay no mind...). i fail miserably (even if i do listen to some Jpop every once and again...shh, don't tell...) :relief:

and don't listen to PK, DRAIN AWAY IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY THE BEST. i am all-knowing, so you should listen to me. :smug: (won't admit that she hasn't yet heard PK, and is really just caught up with how wonderfully sexy Daisuke is in his Drain Away outfit...) Drain Away is one of the best though, in all seriousness. it's my favorite along with Kodou. :-)

I've downloaded Pink Killer not long ago... ^^;; Still untouched. Now that you're recommending it so...strongly...i'll go listen to it immediately...or not. It's late at night now here...maybe tomorrow.

Drain Away is my first Diru song and my favourite....for now, that is. Garbage is cool. ^^ Cage is of coz one of my favourite song......... Heehee, can't get enough of Diru. :cute:

Is Dir en grey Jrock or New metal??
I and some others have had the discussion about that....
What is the right answer!?

mizerable_d

Aug 16, 2005, 21:45

Jrock. they are Japanese and a rock band. also their earlier stuff is not metal so i say Jrock for sure.

Kinsao

Aug 16, 2005, 21:53

I was thinking about this... but I am so unsure of how is defined 'jrock' and 'new metal' that I couldn't answer. I am really not knowledgeable about music categories :sorry: because mainly I just listen and I am so backwards about all the distinctions. I don't even know the difference between new metal and other types (well, some I know, obviously, but I couldn't guarantee to be right every time! :bluush: )

But I would have said they were more of 'rock' than 'metal'... although maybe I am wrong? :?

I don't think that "jrock" is an actual genre of music. It's a nationality of music. So yeah, Dir en Grey is obviously Japanese. As for their genre, it's pretty much metal I guess. Or you could just call them visual. Not so much anymore, though...
visual kei is not a genre of music. it's a style in how one dress. i would say that Diru is just rock since only recently they became metal and their earlier stuff vary greatly in sound.

Aug 17, 2005, 05:46

i just kind of think very naively... like, rock is heavier stuff than pop, and metal is heavier than rock... and after that, I just get a bit lost.... :mad:

DemonHunter

Aug 17, 2005, 06:20

we should see Jrock as a name for al sub-genre's

furan

Aug 17, 2005, 06:56

well.... actually there's supposibly a rule for what chords a band uses inorder the clasify them as metal (stupid as it sounds)
because Sum 41 are but in the 'metal' gunrer in music stores because of the chords they use......

rock, to me, has always been with real instuments - drums, bass, guitar as the basics, and with a real sence to the music... as soon as it becomes corprate then i'd pop-rock. then, metal... usually has in a whole load of other instuments, with a definate theam among it's lyrics - usually heavily depressing.

pop... is usually coparate market type stuff... - symphosisers, up beat stuff, usually about love and appealing to the general teen population...

but those are my definitions, lol :relief:

hebiichigo

Aug 17, 2005, 16:44

There is no way I can place Dir en grey in ANY genre. They are too FABULOUS and eclectic (LOL this is coming from a very biased fan, okay? don't yell :p ) and with most music I don't put it into genres or worry about that kind of thing, I just listen to it if I like it :-)

I guess I could call them Rock though.. they are Jrock because that's just Japanese Rock.. haha. It's a very broad category. And they're not really Visual Kei anymore.. Not all Jrock is Visual Kei :cool:

I might ask my friend, who is not into the whole Jrock thing but likes Dir en grey, what genre he thinks they are.. Get an outside opinion XD

Aug 17, 2005, 21:27

mmm... i agree with PrettyPinkSpider, j-rock is about the nationality. Dir en grey is a j-rock band because they're japanese...

about the genre, i'm kinda lost too :relief: for me, their music is rock although it sounds heavier than it... but it's definitely not pop...

I remember I read an article where Kyo said he didn't want to be compared with marilyn manson and claimed that their music is rock...

furan

Aug 17, 2005, 22:03

hayakuchan.... you really need to wan me before you post!
that Aki pictures is just too much! *whines*

but, lol, yes.... i managed to draw myself back to life enough to read your post and... i agree... but i'd say that actually... they don;t have one spacific catagory... some of their stuff is under 'rock' and some would be under 'metal'
and some sound be under 'heavey metal' - ie pink killer :relief:

mizerable_d

Aug 17, 2005, 22:19

lol
yeah... erogo's like their 'sub-catagory' within Jrock...

buuuuuuut........
can i just ask......
how do we tall appart 'Jrock' from 'Jpop'?
see... i go on my wester definitions of 'Rock' and 'Pop'..... but then someone told me Kana's clasified as Jpop... and i was like.... EH?!?
Eeh!? Kana is NOT pop :relief: At least not the stuff I've heard... Pop for me is Morning Musume, W, Aya Matsuura or Hamasaki Ayumi... :relief:
Kana is Visual Kei and Pop. YES.

you can be VK and pop. vk has nothing to do with music.

Ya Diru's music REALLY varies. but they still fall into the borad "rock" category.

mizerable_d

Aug 18, 2005, 00:22

yeah... but.... how does that work?
do you understand it?
like.... how is she clasified as Jpop and PLC (or are they, i forget... and B'z too :?) and Hide (i'm sorry, i love you, but in my opinion ou're styls a little 'too' pop to be rock to me...) aren't?

:worried:
PLC can be considered Jpop/Jrock and VK. hide, i think is Jrock and VK. B'z is jpop/jrock non-VK. thats what i think.

VK is a style in how one dress themselves, so you can look VK and sing pop, or techno or whatever.

Aug 18, 2005, 22:10

then yes... yes i do need to hear more of her songs.... *whimpers* i've wanted to for a while now... :(

lol, i don;t think i could ever call Diru gothic rock.... their content - there's nothign 'gothic' about it...
i've heared goth rock.metal.... and.... it kinda scars me :relief:
not that the music's scary... just that... some of the content is like....

um..... ok.....

neh, Diru are most definatly not goths... i know goths, and they're not it....
(just because someone wears black doesn't make them a 'goth' - no matter what some people may believe :okashii:)

furan

Aug 19, 2005, 01:17

lol

yeah.... Moi dix Mois, Mana.... they're Gothic
but i don;t think... as far as western 'genres' go... they'd be clasified as 'goth rock'

goth rock is usually about committing suicide with your lover under a rose bush growing over an abandond old church whilest screwing....

ok, little bit exagerating (but i'm sure there's a song out there about just that :okashii:)
but the fat is... a lot of 'goths' don't listen to 'goth rock'....
actually... a lot of the people who go round saying they're 'goths' now-a-days... listen to... i dunno, savege garden or something...

for the past.... 5 years, i've had people shouting 'goth' at me or the ever so annoying 'are you a goth?'

err.. no?
geees... just because i wear dark clothing, happend to carry a depressed look on my face most of the time and wear dog collers and heavey eyeliner... dose NOT make me a goth...
*cough* :relief:
no... really, i don't look like a goth... if anything, for a time i looked like a 'metaler', but not a goth... tho... i do have some 'goth' outfits :relief:

argh, i'm having the argument with myself now :relief:

i would say if you were to 'catagorise' Diru int any wester genrer, they'd fall under metal.
some of their songs would be melodic, some symphonic, some heavey, some... possibly even death metal... but... not goth - goth bands tend to have femalevocalists anyways....

*has just remebered that Nightwish are sometimes considered a goth band* - um, their image is.. but their genrer is symphonic metal :relief:

Kinsao

Aug 19, 2005, 01:28

I sort of think of goth music as being a kind of mishmash between The Mission, The Sisters of Mercy, Eve of Destiny, Moi dix Mois, and a cement mixer being operated by a piccolo player.

EDIT: although I do actually like it... :blush:

mizerable_d

Aug 19, 2005, 05:40

well the question was if Diru fit into metal or jrock. i think it's pretty easy to answer.

furan

Aug 19, 2005, 07:10

hee hee
you're not old dear... i have friends older XD (and i don't consider them oldeither)

yeah... i hate catagorising....

but i think Diru are both.....
Jrock is Japanese rock, and metal is a derivative from rock... therefore you can be Jrock metal.....

mizerable_d

Aug 19, 2005, 07:26

but their earlier songs are nothing like metal, so i'd say just jrock.

furan

Aug 19, 2005, 07:37

yeah.... but bands change styles...
AFI started out scar :lol:

T_T god no! not emo! never emo! EWWW. i dont think they're anywhere near goth. isnt goth like elegant?

furan

Aug 19, 2005, 09:47

noooooooooooo
i was just using AFI as an example :relief:

you... Diru could NEVER be emo....
and i don't think AFI are really... it's just.. i'm crap when it come to sub-sub catagorising :relief:

i'm just saying, they're drastically different now...

Goth.... hmmm... there is a degree of elegance to it... like, the fashion statment is very lacey and long and flowy....
and... their lyrics tend to be very poetic... to some extent i think Shakespear was kinda gothic... (actually, probaly very gothic ^^;)
it was a movement... i can't remeber when... somewhere around Queen victorias rane... but goths now listen to... what ever they want :relief:

but the catagory would be... i don;t know, i'll have to get an example for you...
ooo the Cure... aren't they goth rock?
and the Crow... that was a gothic film right?

Child_prey

Aug 19, 2005, 20:04

That's what I have been saying to them...
Besides, If Kaoru himself said that they are Jrock (the interview in Berlin) then he knows best right? =)
It just makes me mad that so-called Hardcore Dir en grey fans say that they are NOT Jrock anymore, that they are new metal and that everyone who says that they are Jrock don't know anything...
How the hell did Dir en grey become NON jrock, did they become non japanese??
Well, anyway, thank for the answers, good to know that I'm not totally out of my mind =)

*I'm never wrong! Muahahaha*

Aug 19, 2005, 20:18

furan

Aug 19, 2005, 20:53

lol, you're welcome child pray :relief:

hee hee, yeah, metal's a derivitive from rock, and seing as there's not a Jmetal catagory officially (otherwise D'espa would be in it :blush:), they gotunder Jrock, and then... yeah, they'd be clasified as metal...
however, i wonder if people in Japan call thinkgs Jrock or not.... :?

i guess int theory we should ask onna them :?

I'm not sure if japanese people call Jrock "Jrock" :lol: Although when I was speaking to the group of Japanese girls at school I asked them what music they liked and they said "Jpop" (and acted like I wouldn't know what the hell that was :okashii: lol)

God forbid Diru would come to America... let alone with Slipknot of all bands. But I'm not in the mood right now to argue, I just want to see if anyone has any more information on this.

*sings it and tosses some Kozi cookies all around*

I think it is still creative... not as diverse but if your actually listening to the instruments individually and then all together and pick the songs apart in your head (like I do XD) then you can see it's still very creative. :?

*nibbles on a Karyu cookie* Baked to perfection... :hihi:

I'm so happy. :happy: Can I help with the evil distraction and confusion schemes... *rubs hands together*

Just go to the new releases page on the Dir en grey official website (www.direngrey.co.jp) and scroll down a lil ways under CLEVER SLEAZOID, there should be a clickie thing "Listen" Obviously, you click on that and be patient while the sample loads in a new window. If it doesn't work for you, then I don't knwo what you should do.:? Sorry! :sorry:

.... I wanted to help Demon Hunter out pkk... damnit.... oh well..... that ^^^^^^^ was extremely pointless..... -sighs-

I think I yawned a couple times, and if I did, it was more from boredom than from tirey-sleepyness.

They do treat him like a teenager. It's really unfair. lol, I'd love to see that happen. I could just see Shinya chasing after Die. lol.

Unfortunately, very few people seem to know what really goes on with them all.... damned parents for living in Canada >_<

I'm glad you're enjoying your Karyu. I'm not even halfway finished my HIZUMI cookie... tastes so yummy.

Of course you may! -evil grin- The more help, the quicker to execute the scheme.

Good girl. I'm hating to spoil my plans over a little rumor. I'm really starting to doubtmy souce of information...lol. Anyway, I guess we'll just all need to wait and see.

Way! Thanks, I finally heard the song! I tend to not like the new Diru songs at first though, that's a bit depressing. But I've sure I'll come around to it.

I honestly believe they will come... eventually. I hate to get my hopes up for nothing though so I'm waiting for official news. :-)
i agree. they will go to america eventually (lucky bleeping americans) because it's a huge market. but yes im waiting for official news as well. i really hope they don't come so soon... i'd be happier if they came next year and hopefully during the summer or spring break or else i'd never be able to go.

the thing is, they've been doing heavy stuff for 2 albums, and it's kind of pissing me off. i don't know what the reason is...

Out of curisoity, how many people have gone to Otakon and heard about this announcement Free-Will America gave out? So far I've heard one person say it. I"ve contacted them and am curious what they'll have to say.

I don't think Dir en grey would really respond in all honesty. I contacted JPop house, Otakon, and Free-Will America.. no one has replied. I do encourage you to contact whatever you can think of too, if it includes the fanmail thing too then *shrugs* so be it. Tell me if you can any replies?

According to Fee Will Europe`s boss Free Will America is not official, it´s just a fan site........... And they Dir en frey won´t come to America.....

Is that so? Well then, I"m wondering if this was really ever announced and if they had any place saying so?

Are you saying that I'm not the only person who does that? I love picking songs apart and analyzing those separate pieces and then adding them together to see the entire picture. It's actually kind of fun... >_>

Woooohooooo! I do that as well! :wave: I thought everyone did.........? :clueless: I'm incapable of not doing.

Why the Hell are you happy for me!? Because of the fact that I will no longer suffer from D'espa Withdrawl?
I'm happy you will suffer no longer. :blush:

I'm excited you can hear and appreciate them too. :happy: And of course that I'll have someone to gush with. :lol:

the thing is, they've been doing heavy stuff for 2 albums, and it's kind of pissing me off. i don't know what the reason is...
But they are making the kind of music they want to make... why be mad at them for doing what they want to do. I'm happy for them. :bluush:
