If you actually check out the translated lyrics, you'll know the song "Cage" is about child abuse and sado-masochism, so in a way the imagery is quite appropriate here.
Oh yeah, I bought their album Withering to Death for like $35 at a store in New Jersey. I think the prices are so high because we're importing stuff that was already made in Japan. If one of the company that makes Dir en grey's things would come over to America, then I think the prices would go down.
But I can only wish for such thing to happen. Oh well, it's not that big of a deal for me though.
Not trying to be rude but you need to do some more research. Four of their music videos aired here in America. There's a show called Headbanger's Ball and they aired Dir en grey's music video called "Obscure"(the edited censored version) and "Saku". Their music video "Clever Sleazoid" and "The Final" aired on a show called Fuse. Also, they appeared on the show called Steven's Untitles Rock Show for their song "Clever Sleazoid".
For which one? All of them? Well, in the show called "Steven's Untitled Rock Show", Dir en grey appears as a guest and is interviewed for their song "Clever Sleazoid". This interview can also be seen on youtube. Now the other three vdeos. I just flipped on to the channels I have mentioned, and their video suddenly just popped up!
Wow... At first, I thought this wasn't going to be all that great of a song. But, the song got stuck in my head at school, so I keep coming back to listen to it. I love this song now.
Oh yeah. Now, I've been getting Clever Sleazoid and Filth in the Beauty (by Gazette) stuck in my head as well. I am getting the CD's so they can go on my Ipod to keep me from going crazy. ~_^
i remeber a few years ago.. no one new of dir en grey here.. now everyone dose.. and its so mainstreem... though their style isnt so vk anymore.. but if visual kei gets really mainstreem DX
Aaaaahhhhhh.... this reminds me of one of my favorite nightmares I've had. For some random insane reason, I cut my torso wide open and did not have the means to "fix" it. The true strange part is that I wasnt bleeding.
I'd just like to say I love this song, and I love Dir en grey. Seeing all of the "L0lzdirengrey suxorsz." shit is annoying. Don't like it? Shoo. This isn't your place.
The bass solo or on that subject none of the bass in this song is difficult(I DO play bass and learned this song in 30 minutes upon hearing it)since its not difficult doesnt mean its not very impressive
What's up with the "bad bass" and all that? ><; I mean, if it was so bad, why would they do it in the first place? Also, didn't someone mention that this was an early work? Everyone has their ups and downs, and I'm not saying they're all up. I don't play bass and all, so I can't really tell wheather it's bad or not.
I actually do play bass, and it is a fairly difficult song to master. It's got some top-notch transitions and is an awesome bass part.
Eh, note that this Sebasstian asshole not only pisses on Totchi for awesome bass work on Cage, but does so on plenty of other Diru songs as well. Get a life, tard.
The song is good until he sings. His voice sucks. And I don't see why everyone says the bass is so great, its a basic scale... its like the same 8 notes.
>.> jeez there is always someone that has to critisize huh? and no his voice doesn't suck kyo is freakin amazing and Toshiya is an awesome bass player. this was one of the first early songs where he got to do a solo and Toshiya is god!
Well, compared to the music I listen to and the bass work that I do... I think it sucks. The solo is decent. But if you want to hear good bass work, go listen to Primus.
Keep in mind, a lot of these kids don't listen to any other 'heavy' music and I have no doubt that they got into this because it's cool at the moment or because they listen to Jpop. (note user names on here suck as gacktdirengrey etc) If you want to talk about Primus, you're talking to the wrong people :P
I see what your getting at Dir en grey is the like naruto right now. but for example I listen to practically anything and I have listen to other music besides Jpop and Jrock. I've been a fan of dir en grey forever and I have listen to other music from Malice mizer to cradel of filth true dir en grey isnt the best but I think there pretty cool then again everyone has there own opinion
Wow, a statement about crappy usernames coming from an idiot with "milkymoocowmoo" as their SN. Smooth, jackass. Go listen to your gay Tool or whatever, Primus blows.
I'm sorry but Primus sucks and there vocalist suck too. I listen to that band It really doesn't have anything you can't base that a band sucks by one song and I listen to a lot of Primus music and It really is not something special
Oh God, I love Kyo! He is so effin' hot. Woot for Dir en Grey!

Hot Topic has a myspace page.
