Dir en grey

[Nana007]

Wow, those pictures were awesome. Kyo always has some of the nastiest expressions on his face during his lives, I love it. I wonder what the people were thinking when the saw this little japanese guy on stage. He looks so little on the picture of him on that amp, like "Yay I did it".

I still think that Dir en Grey is Visual Kei. Even though they aren't as, visual as they were say 3 years ago. The band especially Kyo, looks visual. Like Dir en Grey now comes in 2 flavors, VK Heavy and VK Light. Compared to none VK bands in Japan, they still have a VK influence that you can see.

I have never seen these, nor did I know Dir en grey were here in the States!

Anyone know anything about this and why they were here?

 

[Riyko]

Don't quote me on this because I could be wrong, but I believe that it was only Die and Shinya who went to New York for some type of class or classes.

Hmmm... maybe they were doing negotiations on their 2006 US Tour?!

I'm making that up, but hey, it's possible right.

 

[Kinsao]

I saw that on the Batsu forum. I have no idea why they were in New York, though. Could have been any number of reasons!

I like what you are thinking sunsweet!

I heard somewhere that these pics are fake or photoshopped, or something like that.. But I don't know for sure... ☝

 

[dniwer]

Hmmm, I guess they could be photoshopped, but who would do something that stupid?

*thinks of all of the photoshopped pictures I've seen of J-rockers then rethinks that question*

 

[POISONxIVY]

I've seen some pretty sweet photoshopped pictures LOL I am a photoshop master you could say and overlooking the photos, the one with Die looks real. That guys hair is all frizzy and it would be very hard to get all his fly aways perfect like that. The one with Shinya looks like it could be photoshopped, but I don't see why someone would do that. It seems pretty pointless and lame in my oppinion. Sure they could keep the pic of Die real since there isn't anything in the background, the one with Shinya could have been like that too and he put a NYC background in it to make it as if they were in NY. I doubt that though haha. Next time I talk to diru i'll have to ask I guess!

 

[grenadeglovegirl]

Hi guys! I'm new... hehe

Anyways, does anyone know when the pictures may have been taken? Aaaand, is it ust me or do Shinya and Die not look extroidanarily (sorry I can't spell) happy to be with that...guy.


I think he's sketchy... >.>


Anyways, yay Dir en grey! They make me happy.

And so do those smilies.....

Haha, would YOU be extraordinarily happy to be with that guy? It looks like he was just a fan who spotted them on the street and got a picture with both of them. I think Shinya and Die look so cute with the kind of 'confused' look that's on both of their faces.

 

[Kinsao]

Hmmm, I dunno but I think they're real. Don't know why I think so, though (not like I'm a PhotoShop master or something!) - just a gut feeling. I saw them on Batsu. I guess I just thought there's no reason why Die and Shinya couldn't have been in NY and have their pic taken with a fan... good for him! (I heard somewhere that they don't normally like to have their pic taken with fans... but... I think that being a guy might have given Ramiel something of an advantage... I heard that Dir are a bit cagey of the rabid fangirls... )

If they are fake, though, well, someone is just a loser with too much time on their hands.

And welcome, Grenadeglovegirl!

 

[pinkkillerkisou]

Uhh... you guys... Vulgar was recorded in New York if I remember correctly... ☝ but those photos (if dated correctly) are defintily not during that time frame and who can really know if those are real photos...

 

[Normphobic]

I think they are real. Unless someone is a photoshop pro, because look at the hairs on top of Shinya's head. That would be really hard to do and match with the background. Also the scale of the background. I laughed at your comment Tiff, "would YOU be extraordinarily happy to be with that guy?" What kind of name is Ramiel anyway? (I love how we always resort to making fun of people for no apparent reason.)

"I think that being a guy might have given Ramiel something of an advantage..."

I think being hot and not a fangirl is a better advantage LOL...

 

[hebiichigo]

I don't think the photos are photoshopped either, but some people seemed really convinced that they were These people who claimed to be really good at photoshop and graphics and all that... ☝

The guys head looks kind of pasted on though

 

[Placebo]

I think there is something wrong with how he took the photos if you think about.


If you saw two members of your fav band wouldnt you have them both in the photo? Even if you had one take the photo then they switch places you would stand in the same place. Unless he spotted them in diffrent locations but what are the odds of that happening in crowded arse NY that he runs into two members on the same day possibly during the same time frame and gets them to take picture with him.

 

[grenadeglovegirl]

Yeah, but maybe he had one of them take the picture while the other was in it. Like Shinya took the picture while he was with Die. hehe, maybe he didn't trust other random New Yorkers with the camera as they could have run away with it. hehe

 

[Placebo]

I talked about that in my post see....

Even if you had one take the photo then they switch places you would stand in the same place.

He should have the same background because it would just be the two of them switching unless he moved for some reason and if he did move the question is how far is shinyas background from dies if its farther than a few steps then its probably a fake photo.

 

[Normphobic]

Why do the most retarded discussions start about things like this? lol (No offense to anyone, not making fun of individuals, just the topic itself.) Why would you have to stand in the same spot for a photo? What if Die took the photo of him and Shinya, and then Ramiel walked over to Shinya to have the photo with him? I can't believe I'm even replying to this haha. Who cares if it's photoshopped or not, the guy at least met them, and Dir en grey have been in New York before! I'll give him props for meeting them, and if I ever do, I'm going to purposely stand in front of a different scene with each band member!

 

[POISONxIVY]

haha my thoughts exactly! I was just thinking... why are people even going on about something like this? Who cares if it's photoshopped or not. I sure don't haha. If it is then mad props to whoever made it! great job! if not, then that was awesome for that dude to get pics with Shinya and Die. . I would rather get a picture with individual members myself, rather then with the whole band or whatever. I mean has anyone really even notice any of the photoshopped pictures I have posted on here lol... I totally posted some photoshopped pictures of D as a joke with my sisters face on the girl... no one seemed to notice lol.

 

[Placebo]

do you guys think Dir En Grey will be like the Rolling Stones and play forever? I hope so that would be awesome.

 

[POISONxIVY]

Mmm jrock juice on a hot summer's day is sooo refreshing haha. Man I bet that Dir en Grey will look a lot better for their age if they do that. Asians usually age more gracefully lol. Plus the Rolling Stones did so many drugs and drank so much it really messed up their aging process even more (you know the big head syndrome from drinking too much haha don't ask) Do you think Dir en Grey is pop? haha im just kidding. I can't wait to se diru... hopefully in 2006! (speaking of rolling stones I love the song painted black)

 

[Nana007]

Asians do age gracefully, but they aren't the best agers IMO. Yea, if they became the Rolling Stones of Japan that would be great. I mean they are already getting up there, they aren't the fresh youths they were in 1997. And while they might not drink or drug like the RS remember, They are pretty big drinkers, I mean come on Japan is a country where to see a salaryman passed out next to his vomit is pretty common, and even not frowned upon. And of course the have SAKE. I am a person who can take a shot of Vodka to the head like water, but the first time I tasted o-sake I was on the floor crying for my momma.

 

[Placebo]

does anybody know where I can get all the dvds for cheap?

 

[Nana007]
