Not long ago, I received Lotus. Looking back at this, It is amazing just how diverse and timeless dir en grey are, I refer to them as "The Band Of A Thousand Faces", the possibilities with Dir en grey are endless, and I can only imagine what they will come up with next. But I know one thing will stay the same.. I will always love them with all my heart, not just as musicians, as people, they're dedication to us, the fans..Dir en grey will last forever, and will stay dear in my heart until I die!
IMO they still have the Visual Kei kind of look especially with their new updated style (you can check it out on their MySpace). I mean they may not be as extreme as their early days...but they still have a look.
Although I have to say I enjoy their old songs a bit more. They had a much more unique sound back then. Today...it's getting just a bit mainstream. JUST A TAD BIT.
I didn't start listening to Diru untill Saku was being released so I missed alot of their stuff but I'm also only 22 and I still love all of old stuff! I'll introduce my daughter to them as she grows up as well as other jrock and such. she's only 5 mo old right now XD
i think diru is ahead of there time for the music scene in japan. their older stuff like this has similer sound as to what bands like alice nine and penicilin are makeing now. <3 deg!!
I agree. People keep whining that they miss the VK era, but they are just as good if not better now. And still, we will always have old videos of this era to look back on.
sorry if i disturb you, but i heard from some jerks that this song's melody taken from megaman fireman stage or something, pretty ridicolous from them lol i don't believe them
Seriously. It's not like you know them personally and knew them when they were teenagers and so on. Die is so handsome and so is Kyo. Well, they all are. <3
Aww Poor Die Took Peoples Comment To Heart Because He Said Fans Called him Fat So Thats Why He Had Weight Problems :( Hes Doing Good Now....And I Still Cant Believe Shinya Weighs 93lbs Thats Crazy But Still =] YAy For Die </3
LOL I was curious as to how old you are so I looked at your profile. This video isn't older than you although it's about 11 years old. They all do look great but I think they could all use a little more meat on them, they are too skinny.
Die was not even close to fat. You've got some serious issues if you think he was fat. And his face is NOT ugly. Have you seen him in person? He is breathtaking in person and Kyo does not have a face of a forty year old!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes he was. He was chubby and YES it is. Have you seen that shit? Omg, it's a nightmare. You don't think he was fat because you're fat and compared to you he was the size of a twig. Yes Kyo does, he looks like an old timer now.
Why are you commenting on this video if you are not even a fan? And don't even say that you are a fan because a fan would not say such rude and untrue comments. And you don't even know what I look like to say shit like that. Grow up. I'm done responding to you. I have better things to do with my life.
I don't know about the rest of their songs, but this one is kind of like a lullaby for me too. I don't know what the words actually mean though, but the way they sound is very soothing and relaxing.
No the oldest ive seen him go no is from Vulgar their going for a new western metal look now so this type of music wouldnt fit into the setlist as well im guessing and people from the west wouldnt know older songs so yea it sucks but thanks to the fuckers who have a problem with distributing music outside Japan and USA as well we dont get awesome music u know idk if its a money issue and language or both but yea. So they dont.
sadly no.... they really should, so wat if they arent visual anymore, these songs still r awesome, as with their newer stuff too, i havnt heard a dir en grey i didnt like so far
and here I thought I had all the songs... :/ So many songs are on singles and I have doubles of many many songs. XD Myaku for Ash, [KR]Cube for Jealous -Reverse-, and etc.=_=;; I have nothing burning a hole in my pocket because I keep buying there music.
It wouldn't be benifiting the band if I did buy it, because the record labels get the money made from the cd's. The bands/artists get little-near nothing from it. They make their money from concerts. Not a money making career. I just like getting the hard copies of cds... >.>;;
ほんと、デビューから歌も演奏もゴミ以下だったのに、なんで持て囃されたんだかワカラン。
日本人の音楽センスが低下しきった挙げ句、CDが売れなくなっていったのは、この時代辺りからなんだが。
