^_^ ee yesterdays concert was so great!!! ah and got to meet shinya!!!the live seemed kinda short tho oh well least I saw them!! *happiness*

Poor Toshiya... why do his eyes look so puffy? It's like he's either got allergies or he had been crying.
Or he got into a fight.

He's probably really tired and worn out, he could also have some allergies and maybe a hangover :?

 

[Precious4e]

Ooo that's not good that their band from all Hard Rock owned venues, oh well the Hard Rock sucks anyways XD... House of Blues is better...
Yes i've been drinking and I probably make no sense what so ever and am going off topic again.

aW that sucks. But you would think that some of these owners would know how the band performs onstage beforehand.

And poor Toshiya... he does look kinda... tired/worned/rugged/swollen lol.

There's a picture of Die in the Zip and you can see bags under his eyes. Let me find it.

 

[Nana007]

Found em.

 

[Kinsao]

I guess he does look a bit tired, but that's kinda to be expected as they've been working hard on tour. They all look good, though!

I've been reading all the live reports I can get my hands on... it sounds really awesome.

 

[dirus_ninjou]

as for the band looking tired: they probably haven't quite adjusted to the new sleeping patterns that they have had to take on since the 3rd.... i mean, they had the first live in this tour the next afternoon, so that wouldn't really leave much time to get well rested before it. and, i'm sure that what little time off they get, they are wanting to spend looking around. i mean, if the show starts at 1:30 in the afternoon, it'd seem like 3:30 in the morning to them, because of the time change and that second time is what they are used to when we are used to the first. <.<;;.... and i'm ranting.... sorry~!
okay... time to be random....
does anyone else really like Die's new hair style/cut? i realize that is wierd, but i do. i thought that i was going to be disappointed when i saw it cut, but it actually looks very good. :haihai:

 

[dirus_ninjou]

mayhaps the venues should find out what they should expect -before- a band is scheduled to play on their stages... and besides, diru have it mentioned in the rights contract that blood is a factor for their shows. almost any band who incorporates blood in live performances are required to state it in the contract that is signed by the venue management. i don't see why Hard Rock is complaining.

 

[boobiebutt]

ever think venues book so many bands on a daily basis that they might not have time to research every band that plays there?

 

[Riyko]

I just think it's kind of pointless to get upset about it because you can't change the venues mind. There will always be other places in Vegas that they can play at and not have to worry about it at all.

 

[Precious4e]

Precious4e: thank you for agreeing. <.<; you were agreeing with me, right? o.o;

LoL. Yes i'm agreeing with you.

Today I drove by the Nikon theatre that Diru will be playing at next week. It made me so sad because I can't go.

EDIT: this is a totally random request but do any of you have the pics of Toshiya in this photoshoot? (This is just a wallpaper that I found of Toshiya that someone made).



Thanks.

I saw Dir en grey live in Phoenix on the 18th. That was the highlight of my entire life, though the sun nearly killed me.

 

[boobiebutt]

toshiya looks like he has breasts...

 

[haru_urara]

I agree, but what does it matter XD

 

[pixy_false]

miss totchi, indeed.

 

[Precious4e]

ahahaha yea Toshiya does look very girly there but I wanted to see the original pics of that photoshoot if anyone has hehe....

and what's this rumor about Diru not wanting to come back to the US? What happened? But if Diru doesn't want to come back to America then i'll just go over to Japan to see them LOL. I can see how American culture can scare or frustrate those from Asian cultures. It's really very different.

 

[beau99]

That's what i'd like to know, what rumor is going around about them not wanting to come back and what happened?

Evidentally, they're getting stressed over a few things, 'tis all.

 

[boobiebutt]

i've been hanging out in the FVT forum lately and i'm already sick of the fangirl drama over the rumor of them not wanting to come back to america. i don't blame them, honestly. i think it's stupid that everyone's getting so worked up over it...i mean, if they don't want you to do a certain thing, then respect it and move on. whether or not you think it's stupid...most americans are too ignorant and disrespectful to understand why Dir en grey don't want the fans to do certain things, and that respect is a big thing in asia..so they should just....get over all of it, ne?

its true....i totally agree that most americans r way too ignorant and disrespectful....but if u think of it...other countries have their massive crazy fangirl groupies and such...and have their own ignorant and disrespectful fans...but it never stopped a band from touring.....its all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[Kinsao]

I hadn't known there was a rumour they didn't want to go back to the US, but whatever; it's their decision. Although IMO the American fans would at least deserve a small explanation from the band's management.

I guess such a thing would be largely the province of their management anyway; if they thought there was enough money in it to be worthwhile I reckon they'd try to persuade the bandmembers to go back even if they didn't want to; and if the bandmembers wanted to but the management disagreed they'd probably refuse them. ~_~ Gahh, complex. >< All the American fans can really do is carry on supporting them by buying their CDs and merch so that they can get a good idea of the size of the fanbase. ^^

 

[pixy_false]

i'm sure the band knew what they were getting into. if they let all the stress get to them, they wouldn't have made it this far, i say.

i spoke to harry at the houston show, and he told me the band already felt like they've been on the road for a whole month, and it was only the 3rd show so far! they're gonna need a big ol' vacation after this.....

 

[Pink Usagi Chan]

I wouldn't put the American fans down as the culprits, Japanese fans can be just as rabid and scary as the ones in other countries. (well, from Dir en grey footage that I've seen.)

 

[Precious4e]

^ aW. I wonder if everything is too crazy for them. Especially the other bands. Did anyone see Bullet and Octane's weekly diary on YouTube??

It's here:

Shinya and Die are in it for a few seconds. Poor Die had to explain his sexuality and Shiny couldn't shotgun a beer. It's funny but then I feel bad for them because I don't think they are used to this.

 

[Kinsao]

I bet they're kinda enjoying it though...
Although touring is well tiring. I hope they do have a good break after and get all rejuvenated.
