Dir en grey

j0ylucky · 11 Jan 2006

I'm fairly new to DEG and was wondering if anyone saw the clip of Toshiya and Kyo fanservice... The one where Toshiya is licking Kyo's neck. The background is blue. Anyway.. Does anyone know what song is playing?

neostereo · 11 Jan 2006

The song is Hydra.

I know I'm ignoring this place but I was looking for more Shinya pictures cause I feel like drawing him... I couldn't resist posting this and making others laugh at how ignorant and superficial some fans are... not one mention of her liking of their music ☝

Yay Dir en grey! : D One of the best looking bands ever in my opinion. ^_^ They were a gothy visual rock indie band until they caught the attention of none other than Yoshiki of X-Japan, and he offered to produce the five singles on their next album.. and now they're one of the biggest visual rock bands in Japan. ^_^ They're led by Kaoru.. who writes most of their music, and has the coolest pink hair ever! heehee. ^_~ Kyo writes all the lyrics which are usually very dark and really good. ^_^ Half the time he sings in a low emotional voice and the other half he screams like a psycho.. and often in the same song.. so he sounds really crazy, hehe. Die has probably the most distinct song writing style of the band, and he's into lots of German stuff.. in their earlier days he would wear Nazi outfits and swastikas and stuff.. hehe. Toshiya's their very pretty bassist, and he's cute even without makeup too. ^_^ Shinya's gorgeous too.. even though he doesn't do the dragqueen thing as much as he used to.. and he's gay! Yay! : D ~hugs him~ Well.. he probably is anyways.. he's kinda shy and hasn't said he is directly.. but if you read the interviews he makes it pretty obvious.. heehee. ^_~ Dir en grey released their second album Macabre in September and I think it's their best stuff yet. ^_^

is she serious? ☝ ... ☝ ...... ☝ ............

...where is that fork stabbing smilie when I need it? it seems so appropriate for what I'd like to do to people who sound like that...

Dir en grey coming to the USA.

Dir en grey have been invited to the South by Southwest festival.

http://2006.sxsw.com/music/festival/ (their name is on the list here)

It's not confirmed on any official site yet, but I think it might happen.
Tickets to this are apparently $475 (O_O) but that lets you see every performer.

There is also (more) rumour of an actual US tour, but there's no certain information about it still.

So.. you lucky people in America

Yokan · 14 Jan 2006

hmm, The emeralds are on that list *has never heard of them before* The Pillows aren't going >_>

does anyone know of a new diru album? like have they said anything yet?

Thanks

i have heard a rumor going around....but i am not sure.....it would be awesome if they did!!

juvi · 14 Jan 2006

Hi, I have seen different rumors around on the internet that says that kyo doesn't practice with the rest of the band. I don't know if there already have been posts on this subject, if so I'm sorry. Could someone please let me know if they know anything, have someone here also heard of those rumors?
Ps! It would be great if Diru came out with a new album, it have been quiet around them lately

Yokan · 14 Jan 2006

Yeah it would be awsome. Well it will happen sooner or later i just wish i could have the album NOW!!! I have absolutely near enough all their discography and PV's love them! XD

i heard this too. ( that Kyo doesn't practice with the rest of the band. ) I don't no if it's true. I read somewhere ( but i don't remember where :sorry: ) that it was some thing relating to cutting himself or something .. but that sounds a bit stupid to me it sounds like something that isn't true.

i read in an interview that Kyo said he put almost as much emotion into his singing in the studio as in live .. but i don't rmember if he said he practises with the others or not.

it would be a bit crazy not to practise with them, ne ? ☝

Or maybe not all the time .. but at least, some times.

And i wish they had another album out, too!

lost · 14 Jan 2006

i want another album of theirs!!!!

i can't believe...i still haven't gotten cleaver sleazoid yet!

Normphobic · 14 Jan 2006

I'm pretty sure it isn't a rumor, because Kyo even said it himself in an interview (if anyone has this interview, please post it). I don't think his reasons sound stupid at all. If he gets so emotional over the songs and has to take out these emotions physically, then practicing would be a very draining and exhausting task. Watch a Dir en grey live and look at the physical strain Kyo puts into each song. Now imagine him doing that at every practice. I don't think he'd have the energy to do the lives if he practiced all the time. Also, I think his lives are more raw without having practiced first, and all the built up feelings can be portrayed in a more powerful way.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking when I first read it to, You can't play in a band, and not practise together

Doll · 14 Jan 2006

I like their older stuff! But i really want to listen some songs from Clever Sleazoid!^^
For the Totchi fanssorry if it's already posted here)

*Ev3* · 14 Jan 2006

i can understand that Kyo don't always practise wtih the rest of the band like Normphobic said cos it takes to much out of him .. so if they practise together everyday he doesnt practise with them. but he would have to practise with them before lives , tours and that stuff otherways they couldnt get there stage show right. ☝ timings and those things .. maybe it doesnt take so many practises as each day but still ........

neostereo · 14 Jan 2006

Hmm, there's also something about Diru going to Sweden. They haven't commented on this, nobody knows if they are even going there, but there's a voting on Hulsfred '06-festival's site [ http://www.snarthultsfredsfestival.net/onska.php ], and they have clearly received most of the votes. I'm getting pissed, because I don't know anything about this, and it would be a perfect chance for me to go and see their live, because Sweden is so close ;;-;;

Champloo · 15 Jan 2006

^^ Have more hope, now that they are becoming more known, they probably will go to these places they never went to before, for their fans in that area.

ijiwaru · 20 Jan 2006

I am new here..and this is off topic but just wanted to say that I am a huge fan of Dir en grey for every style that they experiment with I know a lot of people dislike Deg's "new direction" and feel that they're "selling out" but IMO they are getting better and better ^^ and I really hope that they achieve their goal of world domination! xD

umm...also ... does anyone know where you can buy kyo's 2nd poem book? I can't seem to find it anywhere

Yes..sorry for the randomness/off-topicness <___<;;

In case you have not heard the news. The WTD album's U.S release date is being pushed back

Withering to death. Postponed

Warcon Entertainment's American release of Dir en grey's Withering to death. has been pushed back from March 7th to March 21st. No reason has been issued for this change.

Wow this isn't bad news but I was really waiting for this album (I already have WTD but I was getting it again). And also with all this he say she say being sayed. And all the drama with the SXSW and Warcon and Free Will its kind of annoying. I mean every body is saying something or saying this and that and everything else. Yet it isn't coming from the place it needs to come from the most. Dir en grey. I mean these past few months they have been so quiet. I mean it doesn't bother me that they are being quiet, cause the way they have been touring last year they deserve a break. The reason why I am getting so mad is because everybody is saying this that and everything. I mean Warcon says this, Free-Will says that you have rumors saying this, that plus more. But the band says nothing. I say that I personally won't believe a thing till it is on THEIR official website, but still all the rumors are annoying when they are being suspicioulsy quiet. Of course they did say that they have a BIG SURPRISE coming up for 2006

Yokan · 22 Jan 2006

Well, a tour is being planned. Perhaps that is the surprise

Placebo · 22 Jan 2006

arent they already on tour

Riyko · 22 Jan 2006

Nana007 I agree with you about the whole what's actually going on and what Dir en grey is going to be doing, it does get really annoying because these places shouldn't post something unless it's actually going to happen because what their doing is getting peoples hopes up without knowning anything and when the news changes people get angry and upset... Champloo shush =p just incase you might say something

Nana007 · 22 Jan 2006

oh Champloo can say whatever. I really don't get annoyed that often. And Its not like I am one of the fangirls who went and bought tickets for the taste of chaos tour just because a rumor was out for like two hours . Like I said I want confirmation from Dir en grey on the website before I do anything. But its like they are being so quiet. Thats whats annoying. I mean they didn't even put the news up of the U.S release of WTD up yet.

neostereo · 23 Jan 2006

Mm, as far as I can read their website, they are not on tour right now.

Nana007 · 23 Jan 2006

I had to post this. Sorry if you have seen this. But it is just to funny.
