Thrash Hits TV: Dir En Grey @ Download Festival 2009

[donttttt]

haha kaoru all the time with his face expression "what the fuck is this guy doing" xD

[magz21dec]

one word: AWKWARD

MOFO REPROTER. HIT HIM WITH A BRICK. i bet kao might do it for free for asking all those dumbassed questions. no swearing, no hitting panda in the face with a brick for money, diru rules as ever!

[ashiyo10]

lol..where is the cute translator girl?

[BiohazardGT]

"We don't use those words because we are the good boys" lmao! Dir En Grey is awesome.

[maffeusesutbe]

am I the only one that noticed Die's nipple? yes? oh ok

[valfaris25]

Kaoru just made me laugh, he looks like as he rather would hit the interviewer with a brick in the face instead of a panda xD

But great interview though.

[donttttt]

steife nip-pel

[glimmerification]

Trust the Brits to come up with the wackiest questions!

[xfranczeskax]

Finally some fun interview! :D

[orangegreendaysuite]

"Nora! Nora!" Oh my, I kinda burst out laughing.

[ganztersaam]

looks like in the background you can barely ear bmth

[xxshekinahxx]

That guy did a great job actually, it wasn't as "awkward" as I expected it to be, seems to be a great dude. The panda question was just a joke, it seems to be a "heavier" subject because it took so long before they understood what was going on.

I was kind of surprised Die answered everything in Japanese, he always seems to be so proud of his English. Kaoru looks extremely handsome here, great look on him.

[Abiasnail]

This is still the best Dir en grey interview...EVER. Kaoru and Die are both loving it the whole way through

[elli0chan]

1:30 LOL XDDD

[ogremaru]

I guess most of us know the "translator" is not a translator. He is Masuda, a music critic in Japan who happens to be a good friend of the band. The girl Nora is the translator.

[wizznana]

XDDD WTBBBBF ?? (What this Big Big Big Big Fuck ?)

The translator sucks, and Die, Kaoru who don't speak english to their age sucks too ! xDD And the americain reporter is just stupid xD

OMG i love this video, THE DIFFERENCE IN CULTURE AND LANGUAGE IS SIMPLY HILARIOUS xD

[rtothecore92]

4:30 - EPIC FUN MOMENT

Grandpa Translator is so funny!

Also, that guy's the best interviewer ever.

I'd seriously consider hitting a panda in the face with a brick for a DIR EN GREY concert.

[NatsuKisu3]

Hmm... Maybe I would throw a brick into a pandas face..if I would get something like.. Die or Kyo for that +.+.... anyway, I dont believe that Die doesnt use bad words xD..I'm pretty sure he use things like ''bakayaro'' etc. :D or maybe kyo does? ..

[AlisaBoskonovitch19]

Liked this interview.

I didn't see anything so wrong with Raz asking that panda bear question and Masuda calling for Nora was funny.

[gublue24]

This video is so being favorited because

1. The epic panda question

2. The translator needing a translator

3. The swear words answer

4. Although the questions were silly, they were a hell of a lot better than the "How are *insert country* fans different from Japanese fans?

[ThrashHits]

@gublue24 YES. SOMEONE GETS IT!

[baskinart7]

lol, during the swear word part Kaoru's just like "... whut."

[baskinart7]

Wonder where that panda question came from... lol

[Za4]

When Die and Kaoru understood what the question was, they both were like "we're NEVER coming back to this sick country" XD

[ichaichaparadice]

I want every interview to be like this!! xDD

[qauthux]

lololololol you know your fucked when your translator needs a translator. XD

[tum039]

whats the song name about 6:40

[Nesveri]

@tum039 GARBAGE from Withering to death.

[wowitslateinhell]

*dies* New favorite Dir en grey interview. The fact that Nora had to be called over to help interpret the panda question... Oh god.

[Twiggyay]

Holy macarony! look at Kaoru`s arms!

[rekkapower]

id throw a brick into a panda's face for no less then 500 if it was ugly, 2000 if it was OMGZ KAWAIIZ LOLZ BBQ.

[Makimono]

does anybody know what band/song is playing in the background? XD

[Aamonath]

@Makimono I also wonder that.

[breakfastcrew]

kaoru is the shittttttt!!!!!

[Crow667]

I know there's pro-shot footage of them playing Download 2009 cause it's in the Reiketsu Nariseba video, but I can't find it anywhere.

[NataSsaj]

I like the way kaoru mostly doesn't move in the entire video XD

[nowwisige]

At the end of the video when they're discussing the bad words-- I can't stop laughing at Kaoru, he just looks like he's glaring at the interviewer like he wants to kill him xD

[Kylawlz]

Ahaha how embarrassing to have to explain such a silly question so thoroughly XD

GOOD BOYS MY HINEY! ]:<

[Aamonath]

@Kylawlz I'm not sure if the translator didn't understand or if he was making sure he heard correctly! haha

[Brad2427]

The translator looks so awkward....

[Brad2427]

I want the translator's shirt.

[00Vazquez]

did die just deny his love for cussing like a sailor!? lemme go tell my sister, she'll NEVER believe me <3

[ObscurelyNyappy]

Kaoru knows English mabie not a ton but quite a bit.

[jawkster]

wth, i was listening to Spread Legs Not Lies before clicking on this link haha.. Diru <3

[Esuta]

lol@the panda bear question, for some reason when diru's involved that questions shows up everywhere x'D

[starikunis]

if i were asked if i had a messge for the fans id be like...yeah, uh, final fantasy 7 is way better than 8, i mean shit, 8 sucked and 7 is one of the greatest games EVER, half way through 8 i gave up and all i wanted was for the game to end already...everyone who thinks that 8 is better than 7 can go die, i mean seriously dont even come to my shows u idiot fuckers, i fucking hate you, fuck you...yeah, thats my massage...

[Esuta]

AGREED <3; and diru saying such a thing would be EPIC ;D

[zombieneilXD]

haha the blackout in the backround XD

[bigdaddyganon]

wow lol

[AlixRoars]

lol, that reporter XD

[Zeromaru]

the scene with the not so serious questions reminds me of the movie "Lost in translaton"

"Noraa Noraaa" *waves hand* XDDD

[nofarvam]

WTF?! this is so funny XDXD

[lillithrazor]

what a chode

[ReijiAoeGirl666]

I don't know, but....the interviewer was kinda funny lol

To be rude enough asking such stupid questions is very entertaining and I kinda liked that because it wasn't that serious how most of the diru interviews!

And I laughed so hard at the interviewer at 1:31 XD He really makes fun of them XD

Even though I'm a big Dir en Grey fan, I sometimes also make a bit fun of them XD I don't take the interview too serious and it's actually very funny how Kaoru wants to punch him so badly XD

[Ancaferocks4ever]

XD i love how the interpreter is wearing the uroboros shirt i wanted to buy so badly....

[TheInfinite91]

Dir En Grey are a sweet band.

[EmoVampireVictoria]

KYAA look how sexy die-sama is haha and kaoru-sama die-sama nipples hahahahahaha kaoru-sama is so short.. i Am TO haha

[KiriMukuro]

omg, i also was all like "OH DEAR LORD, DIE'S NIPPLES R SHOWN. OMGOMGOMG! NIPPLES~~" and then i passes out xD~

kaoru is not THAT short. he's 171 cm [mah god, im taller than kaoru o.o]

[Esuta]

Lucky, im still smaller then kaoru ;___; I think I could only look Kyo straight in the eyes without hurting my neck x'D

[KiriMukuro]

well, thats normal since ur a girl [plus u can always grow some more] poor kyo is a guy and he'll stay like this porever xDDD

*nooo, makin fun of kyo-san is bad :<*~

good thing we still got die and toshiya, our 179 cm tall idols ;D~~

[Esuta]

I dont grow anymore..sadly...so even though Im still a girl, im in the same faith as kyo..staying like that forever *doom sound*

Toshiya's height scares me..meeting him IRL would probably make me feel really uncomfortable ):

[HeSlaysMyHeart]

You're not alone; I'm 18 and Kyo is 2in taller than me. I think he'd be happy to know he's taller than someone, even if they are girls :D

[Jehana]

LMFAO!!!!!

[Ln192]

lol the blackout is playing

[chaqueen22]

dispite what everyone else says,the interviewer being terrible and all,this was actually very entertaining!

lol

I mean come on,when do we actually see an interview with them answering questions like these and not "What do Dir en grey stand for." specially when those questions have been asked millions of times before. He did a great job of freaking em out,and I think thats exactly what diru needed!

sorry if I offended anyone,just stating my opinion.

[TheInfinite91]

What does Dir En Grey stand for anyway? If you get pissed off, sorry...lol

[chaqueen22]

lol no worries.

it's been stated by them that "Dir en grey." doesn't mean anythingit just sounded right when they put those words together really. But later on fans tried to attach meaning's to them and came out with "Greyish silver coin." "Brought to you in grey." or "you in in grey." there are MANY guess's from fans ,none of which have been proven to be right. Anyway,in short,when diru made the name they intended it to be only that,a name.They didn't expect it to actually mean anything.

[robojones]

omg what a complete embarrassment, what kinda questions were these, i woulda felt so akward being around this fuckign chode when he's asking them sorta questions.

[robojones]

this interviewer is a joke

[ghooost933]

"Nora, Nora.!" hahaha.!.xDDD i was funny.xD

[JROOCKGiRL]

Die and that interviewer at 2:12 2:15 = LMAO ...

and the Panda Q ........ I didn't get it o_O"

but it's obvious that Kaoru wants to punch the guy's face soo bad after that Q XD

Die,OMG he's damn HOWT ..

and Yup they're A GOOD BOYS .

DIR EN GREY IS <3

[nowwisige]

Lmfao!! I never noticed that before... awwkwaarddd..

I think Die got stung or bit by something at 4:21 . Jump and then act.. natural.. like.. nothing.. happened.. hoho.

[JROOCKGiRL]

Yeah, and actually, I think he spit or below on himself to get rid of that something XD

[soyanoli]

lol... I had to go back and look at that... too funny I didn't notice he did that before!

[mothkof]

Is that The Gazette - Leech as the backround music?

Not the beginning. :/ I know that's diru.

[waterdolphin777]

o.0 What kind of question was that?!?! Made me laugh though. I bet if they actually were given a brick and a panda to throw the brick at, they would have hit the interviewer.

[skarekrowkomplex]

Probably some idiotic bet between him and some other person...

[SpartanMaster7]

This dude is interviewing one of the best bands in the world and all he can think to ask is "How much money would you have to be paid to hit a panda in the face with a brick". Really? this guy deserves to be in the middle of a moss pit where everybody but him has a brick.

[dimensionsss]

this interviewer should be fucked in his ass by gay dog...

[mewsailormermaid]

KYO!!!!!~ *fangirl squeal* <3 <3<3 <3 <3

[guanjon]

I would've said "For free if it's the pandas that won't fuck to save their own species."

[panamakira]

They were being way too nice....they're very introverted...like many Japanese in that sense to be honest, but that interviewer guy was fucking stupid......can't even interview...anyway.....I'm not that crazy of a Dir en Grey fan but I listen to their songs now and then....hopefully they come back to U.S.

[GhostsINtheSnoW]

I love you.

[tsukyoko]

oh god..if someone wouldve asked me that..i wouldnt know what to say either... xD

id just stand there...thinkin if he's actually serious...

poor Die nd Kaoru...

having to go through that

xD

[colorfulhyde]

OMG! How much money will I ask to hit a what!!!! Poor Die he really didn't know what to say ;_;

at  the end Kaoru was like dude! you are digging your grave deeper and deeper! `_`

[whitewolfdemon14]

Ugh I hate Nora

[guanjon]

I would tap Nora like there was no tomorrow.

[70111107]

いくら払ったらお化粧してくれますか？

[nowwisige]

Kaoru looks so unimpressed for the entire interview..

[steelcat87]

Kaoru is like " -_-' "

[agentyuna]

HAHAHAHAHA WOW

[70111107]

後ろで演奏しているバンド、誰かわかりませんか？

[DIRU382]

That was the worst question....ever.

Entertaining though.

[ZeenLimo]

this was 20x better then any of the other "english" interviews lately...

[ImanakaCook]

通訳しているのは増田さん？

[ogremaru]

そう！増田さんだ！

[ImanakaCook]

おーぅ

センキュー

[MuckyChan]

xDDD Man XD

[PearSquared]

Best interview ever. These guys need the occasional "wtf" interview to break up the day.

[nasigorenggg]

wtf panda bear question?

thats meann D:

[ogremaru]

I think the questions are a bit boring......and so cliche.

The panda question..................WTF!­?

-_-|||||||||

Why so many silly questions, no wonder Kyo never appears in these interviews...

[gratielaM]

o_O i wonder how much was that dumb interviewer paid to make a fool of himself... !.. he doesn't deserve 2 cents though...

[MuckyChan]

This was crazy XD

[k999t666john]

"Wait. . . what's swearing?"

XDD LMAOOO

But that one question about he panda was kinda cruel to even think of ;A;

[Simpathal]

I love Kaoru's laugh. <3

[earthtoken]

Yiu could tell near the end that Kaoru was not finding those questions too funny. The look on his face was like WTF?

[Kokusare]

"Ikura?!" God, Die is perfect XD

good boys? Kaoru's laugh said everything XD

[ShinigamiElien]

LOL! Die is indeed very funny guy and I bet he is more and more surprised by european people. He was like "WTF?!" on tuesday concert in Prague when the girls went crazy and were fighting for the things he was throwing to the audiance XDD

[deathollic]

wrong translation!!!

[ShinigamiElien]

which one?

[sasukeluvver1]

mm, Die <3 XD haha must have been tricky :3

[XReikuXChanX]

lol

[Unabletorest]

actually those were really funny and random questions but I think that people at that age don't joke that much anymore

[1PsychoClowns]

bORING pEOPLES

[iamnotapie]

I felt so sorry for the interviewer, props to him for seeing that panda question to the end.

[narutofangurl]

ahah XD The last questions cracked me up.

Die: "Ikura?? O__O XD"

Gotta love Kaoru's tattooed arms <3<3

[ladyferg]

I really enjoyed this! Thank you for posting!

[theromantist]

dudes got some balls to ask them that question XDDDDD kaoru was not ammused hahahahahaha bless die for actually answering and forget being fucked without the translator they'd be fucked without nora XDDD

[BatoruRowaiaru]

I love... absolutely LOVE the Panda question. Matsuda-san bless him... calling for Nora.

Hey... interviewer guy... how much money would you have to be paid to hit a panda in a face with a brick...???

[lucyinthesky302]

xD

the interiewer looks intimidated.

mwahaha--the heavy precense of the die and karou<3

[SiLlY686]

omg, Die is so hot... so it Kaoru... I would kill 20 babies and 40 dolphins to go to a dir en grey concert.... nothing against babies or dolphins ._.

[thefourthavecafe]

your comment...is so not funny.

even if you were joking...

you shouldnt say disturbing shit like that.

kthanksbye.

die would slap you in the face if he were able to read english and read your comment.

[SiLlY686]

D: I'm sorry dude...

._.....

[goonerboy912]

They we're AMAZING that day at Download, the only band i really wanted to see all weekend :P

[alf88sen]

dont worry, if dir en grey come back to were I curently live, there will be mauled babys and dolphins. you better beleive it.

[SiLlY686]

definetly owo

[fifimsp]

My sisters been to two. You can always just buy tickets.

[soyanoli]

that was so silly thanks for posting! It cracked me up.... and Die's smile..... makes me melt.... so beautiful!

[1sadsexual2sadsexual]

nice interview, it was different than the other ones. btw thumbs up with the panda question lol

[neofreak10]

"we don't swear because we're good boys"

i bet you are, guys, i bet you are XD

that was perfect 8D

[Palmeow]

Thank you SO MUCH for deviating from the standard boring questions, it really gave me a laugh :)

[Sparkonetwo]

Dude... The part when you're asking the panda question was PAINFUL to watch.

[marinaholopainen]

I laughed so much!

Why didn't you interviewed Lacuna Coil?

[xxAmberKidxx]

Awesome! I laughed SO hard.

And I know how tough it is to do interviews with japanese artists...I would be lost too if there was no interpreter. And trust Nora to come to the rescue...

*giggles*

[Endjinn]

BRICK THE PANDA!

[KyoNiimura]

Hahahaha that's funny!! Finally someone who didn't ask the stupid all the same questions again and again! I like Die's and Kaoru's somehow confused but a bit amused face at the question with the Panda Bear.

But the thing with Kaoru is, he always is bored! XD

[nowwisige]

Kaoru just wants to get back to drinking.. haha.. he never looks optimistic in interviews :¬|

[GhostsINtheSnoW]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL All that bother to find out that Die wouldn't brick a panda.

I loved this interview. More Die's thing than Kaoru's. Would've been more fuck if it was Die and Toshiya. Toshiya would've taught you loads of swear words and I bet he would brick a panda.

I would have loved to hear Kyo respond to that was well.

=D Thank you for asking amusing questions. We need more shit like this.

[ThrashHits]

Thanks a lot xx

[miyabinohime]

At least this interview has something fun in it. I bet the boys are so tired of the default questions . .. and yeah they would have been fucked w/o the translator! so would most other interviewers they've dealt with XDD

[marinaholopainen]

I laughed so hard!

[DieZu]

great LOL !! for them in wasn't werid intrv - for them is standard ;)

and panda Q was PERFECT! I love to see this supprise on their faces whent in the end they knew about what exactly is this Q xDDD

[diru915]

haha, i think Die was having fun, but Kaoru towards the end, looked unamused... and yes they would have been fucked without the translator, i'm still laughing... this was a pretty good interview though!! i liked how he said they are considered one of the cool bands there!!

[mikera84]

OMG!

Dir en grey are fantastic!

Weird interview....xd

[punchdrunkrock]

QFT

[midwintertears]

that was the most RETARDED interview I have seen in the world!! stupid emos at download.. die and Kao just look sooo fucking bored.

[ThrashHits]

We're so emo, we're actually going to go and have a cry about that comment.

Literally.

:'-(

[midwintertears]

GOOD! thankyou I am glad to know I am having some effect. Try to avoid interviewing people at all costs, as you have just seen it does not end well.

[HIMSinclair]

I love translator Matsuda becuase he really understands the band on a more emotional/musical level but sometimes he just doesnt understand shit in english. XD And Kaoru didnt answer the panda question!

[ShinyasDoll]

LoL!

If we're honest, Die speaks English, but he doesn't dare to give an interview in English. That's a pity...-_-

[BatoruRowaiaru]

That Panda question was just the best.

[raziqrauf]

I don't think I've ever done an interview like that before and I doubt I'll ever do one again.

<3 Dir En Grey

[periX]

Die speaks English and I'm pretty sure Kaoru speaks little too.

[Chiisanamado]

WOW love that interviewer guy for persisting, and asking those questions despite the awkward XD

I don't think I ever actually saw an interview with them that had me laughing like that...

The panda question was totally over their heads XD
