Dir en grey

[Riyko]

I don't really like dead tree it's an ok song, but not one I would listen to all the time just occasionally.

I love the Obscure PV it's an awesome pv, but I love Drain Away, Kodou and Saku more.

 

[Champloo]

I like Dead Tree's pv. I like the story of it, it's quite awesome.

Drain Away... *fills bucket* Oh LAWRD!

Ok, but that pv have nothing on KR Cube.

KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *pokes her msn DP which has been him from KR for like 4 weeks* hehe

dead tree

Here is some water for the dead tree... I see your reflection in the dirty water...
Dreams and aspirations Your ideals in the big sky
Passionate Red
The one I loved so much...
Ideals being sweeter then candy are just ideals

Noone wants the present

Point your finger Goodbye
I feel love on my forhead at gun point
Even the child with the red coat swallows her tears as she faces reality

Why? Why? Over and Over
It will never heal
Why? Why? Over and Over
My dead heart...

Love, tenderness, freedom and peace

 

[Coshh]

Thanks for the lyric! I had it in Japanese (b/c I have the Japanese release of WTD) but not in English.

No one that I know likes j-rock... no actually, I converted a girl to it, someone who came to our company on work experience ... but we never see each other any more... just chat about music on msn Well, that's one... and Furan, but I never see her any more either

 

[Ch_Niimura]

The lyrics are great. I read it before, I have the spanish translations. I love every word Kyo writes ^^

 

[Champloo]

Wow..I never read it in English..I got a tiny gist from kanji lyrics abit ago though. (can read kanji and understand it better than romanji) So, thanks for posting the english ones..he still has it. *pet pets the lyrics* I hope I become a ******* SHADOW of THAT someday. XDD

 

[Nana007]

I have never converted anyone into J-Rock, but I am at the point in my life where I really don't care. Although I was recently embaressed when my coworker, she's asian came up to me and was like "you have an asian thing don't you?" And I really didn't know how to explain it, because the way she said it was like you have a fetish, and its not really a fetish. I told her that I like the music, but now she and my other asian coworkers now think I have like this weird asian fetish, when its really nothing like that.

 

[Nana007]

But back to the topic. YEA DIR EN GREY ROCKS! So you know Dir en grey isn't just looks. But what is your most favorite look for each member.
Kyo-The Final Ugly Kingdom Look and the Saku look.
Die-I loved his long Mullete of the VK days.
Toshiya-The 12 year old boy look he was rocking(I really don't know the era)
Kaoru-I actually like his new long hair, even though I was the main one complaining.
Shinya-I know a lot of people hate it, but I like Shinya with braids. Or either the long blond hair that just is all over the place when he is drumming.

 

[Riyko]

My favorite Diru looks are

Toshiya - Vulgar period
Die - Kisou period
Kaoru - Filth outfit
Shinya - The Final look
Kyo - Macabre period

 

[Champloo]

Toshiya: Vulgar era
Die: Obscure pv, KR Cube pv
Kaoru: His looks last year were good
Shinya: He looks good now, I like how he looks now
Kyo:makeup less+ costume less macabre era (), Drain Away, KR Cube, Saku, around november of last year, hell, ALL the lives pretty much XD, ect. << >> << What, the list would go on forever, trust me.

 

[Honey Vanity]

man I just miss anything Vk, since when did it become so uncool ? ; - ;

 

[j0ylucky]

I really like Kaoru's hair when it was pink. I really like pink hair. Heck, I really like the color pink.. MmmMmm... Pink ta..... *shuts up*

 

[Thirteen]

my favorite Kyo look is the glam look and obscure...glam i.e. Medium wavy hair, open shirt revealing chest, licking the pole...0.0..OMG..*gurgles*

 

[Nana007]

Wah, why is this thread on the 2nd page! And so random, but as I was rereading the lyrics to dead tree I saw this lyric

Even the child with the red coat swallows her tears as she faces reality

And it made me realize that Kyo is a Movie Buff. That line is in referance to the movie Schindler's List For who those of you who haven't seen it, is shot in all black in white, with the only color in the movie being this little girl in a red coat.

I don't know why but for some reason this makes me very happy

Wah so random, so weird. But now you guys know something new. You know what for some reason I want to go through Dir en grey lyrics and look for some more random pop culture refrences. Yea I know

 

[Champloo]

Now that you mention it, the whole video is a war scene. That never corssed my mind, but it makes sense now. ;o

 

[Kaine]

!!! OMG!!! THATS SOOO COOL =D a hidden meaning/connection!!! aww kyo!!! you're so wonderful and brilliant!!!

 

[Kei Kusanagi]

has anyone seen them on tour yet

 

[Placebo]

has anyone seen them on tour yet

Yes


Does anybody have scans of kaoru for the men non no magazine

 

[Champloo]

GUYS! I thought you should feast your eyes on this

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/feature/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002345276

FEATURE ARTIST! Yeah, you heard me right.

 

[Thirteen]

oh no...that means they might go mainstream! I would cry if they would..I hope not...*praying*

 

[Champloo]

Yeah, I hope they don't go all mainstream either, but it was cool to see that.

 

[grenadeglovegirl]

Ahhh, it's so hard to type right now because I can only really use one hand because I like killed my wrist, so I won't write a lot... but anywaysssss I personaly thought the article was really good.
It came from a relatively respectable website, and it said a lot of positive things about Dir en grey's music, and not just their image. It also talked a little about how fans could overcome the language barrier.
Even though Diru may get more fans now, in the end it will help their older fans because it means easier access to merchandise and tours. Plus, a bigger fanbase would mean more money for the band, and money is always nice
Even though a lot of the new fans may be a bit... annoying, they could turn in to really loving the music, and not just the image or because the band could be a fad. If Dir en grey does become a fad, it will eventually will pass over.
The one thing I didn't really like about the article though was the large amount of labeling. Not all Dir en grey fans are Japan obsessed anime loving Hot Topic fanatics.... But, other than that, I really liked the article, because it gave me hope to being able to see Dir en grey preform live again
And now, I will stop typing because my wrist might die *runs away*

 

[Champloo]

I am hoping they pass the KoRn tour up because I don't want them to tour too much in one year. I want them to get rest, so that they aren't completly dried out and come back refreshed next year.
