Dir en grey

Pink- I think she meant when she went to see it. dakkii?

Hydra would be great too, and yeah you're right Child Prey man if I was there I'd go completely crazy
 
The best part about child prey is everyone can sing along, and beat Kyo in something for once.

yeah, i know. i went to see it too
i would probably go insane for child prey and hydra, i already go crazy just by listening to it!

dirujjj- i agree, drain away is a pretty song

MANRYKYRO- yeah yeah! everyone would be able to sing to it!

Does anyone else get all teary eyed when they listen to Embryo? lol i'm such a crybaby for that song
 
I get a little emotional to some diru songs and embryo is one of them. Well that and aint afraid to die...especially the live on the Ugly Kingdom dvd...such a beautiful performance.
 
I think it's the bottom of the death valley that gets to me or... mazohyst of decadance. And ALWAYS Ain't afraid to die. It's so sad.... So does amber, the last line "lets sing till our voices go out" Now I'm geting emotional! haha xD
 
i don't really get emotional for any other songs but Embryo, sometimes mazohyst of decadance but not as much. Watching the video gets me all teary too even though it's nothing! lol i dunno. i'm weired
 
Zakuro, can't listen to it too often though, so long! The live versions gut me. Yeah actually the live versions of alot of their 'emotional' songs are quite...erm whats the word? You know what I mean though right?
But usually I'm not the type to get all emotional over music.
 
I usually don't get emotional over anything like music or movies and stuff but some of there songs to kind of get to me sometimes.

According to diru's LJ community they played 24cyilnders and Drain Away at one of their recent shows. Really awesome!
 
Did anyone hear about the "dynamite tommy" thing? Apparently they are pulling deg's merch off the shelfs..... I went to fye and newbury comics even hot topic recently, and there where no cds D: not even a plastic card.
 
So...i've Found An Incredible Pix Of Kyo....that's Amazing....this Is The Real Warumono Style^^yeah....sure...eheheheh...

Theft of 320,000,000 yen from major advertising company: former employee arrested

A former employee of the major advertising company Asatsu DK, Inc and the executive of music label Free-Will were arrested in connection with fraud totaling 320,000,000 yen. [Approx $2.8 million USD] In 2001, Kaku Koichi, former employee of ADK, Tomioka Yuu [Aka Dynamite Tommy], president of Free-Will, and Murasaki Ittoku also of Free-Will placed a bogus order for costumes, concert expenses, music video exspenses, and other overhead costs for the popular band Dir en grey, and are suspected of falsely taking 324,000,000 yen from Asatsu DK, Inc. The majority of the money was given to Tomioka by Kaku. Kaku confesses to charges while Tomioka denies them.

Please keep in mind that if anything really serious goes down as a result of this, EVERY band on or affiliated with Free-Will will probably be affected. This includes Dir en grey, 12012, and anyone else affiliated with the company. And under Japanese law assets can be frozen for a VERY long time. This is serious ****.

Japanese fans have reported ticket sales being suspended, but later someone said this was just an unfortunate computer error or something, because Free-Will claims not to be suspending sales or postponing any shows. A popup is appearing on Dir en grey's Ohp, the Free-Will Hp and the official home pages of the related bands. English translation is:

"At this time, we wish to deeply apologize for the worry inflicted upon everyone by the media reports. In regard to business operations, normal procedure will be followed. Also regarding scheduled releases and concert appearances of bands on our label, we have no plans to postpone or cancel them. Certainly from this point onward, please give us your unchanging support."

This must be so humiliating for Dir en grey and for everyone affected by this. Possibly having ticket sales suspended, having to appear in court, being unsure of the fate of their label, etc... *sigh* I don't know. I can't imagine how they must be feeling right now. And if the label goes down because of this... I mean sure they will just be signed to another label but that's a lot of upheaval and trauma.
 
lol. so i havent posted much.....whats up? o yea i hear dir en grey is gonna have another american tour. im not sure about it though its just a rumor
 
^ I've been hearing that too and I really hope it is true cuz I am going to try anything to get my parents to let me go lol.

That isn't very good news for diru...I hope everything works out for the best...
 
@darkshadow
XDDDDD!!!!!!
that pic is just hillarious!!

@Skull
HOLY COW!!!!!!*drools*....TOTOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *falls off chair*

@Twisted
I already hear about that...it's really sad...the only hope I have is that they are intelligent enough to take good care of diru (and all the other bands under Free-Will...which are really a lot...concerning the fact, that they also do promotion for PSC!!), but they should be!!! I hope everything will be fine soon again!!!

@Infernal
I just know that they are having a little Europe-tour at the end of the year (november) and about the concert with linkin park in tokyo!!

(sorry for shortening the names...I'm just too layz )
 
Twisted thank you for your post. As I write this post, tickets are now on sale for the Fuse '07 event in London where Dir en grey are due to be headlining on November 2nd. I do hope that the band are not forced to pull out of the gig due to the fact that their assets have been frozen and cannot travel to the UK.
I know that my daughter would be seriously upset if the band she wants to see again had to pull out of the show just because someone was greedy in the past over how much it costs to run a band.

mmm....so...Credits to Jame!

Trouble For Free-Will

Koichi Kaku, a former official of Asatsu-DK Inc., a advertising agency based in Tokyo, was recently arrested, along with two other people, for fraud. Hiroshi Tomioka (also known as Tommy Dynamite), president of Free-Will music production, and Kazunori Murasaki, a former Free-Will official, were the other two involved in cheating the agency out of 324 million yen (about $2.4 million) in 2001. The three associates covered themselves by passing the funds off as those required for producing videos for artists such as Dir en grey, but instead, outsourced the projects to subcontractors.

It is unclear how exactly these events may or may not affect bands such as Dir en grey, RENTRER EN SOI, and others affiliated with Free-Will and its sub-labels.
