Dir en grey-Saku

[KissingTheGallow]

what's this...? compare this to the studio....: |

[GuitarNiimura]

@KissingTheGallow this is better :)

[SangoNyanYaoiFan]

@KissingTheGallow You know studio version of Saku was realeased in 2004? It's kinda hard to sing song like that after theese years when your voice changes but persnoaly I love this live (but I hate life-less crowd)

[mityuki6]

京さん頑張ってるよ～

[eurazngal]

I can't believe those fans would use THAT flag of Japan. Do they not know anything about WWII?!

[Periwinkleton]

@eurazngal

Oh please, remove that comment, WW2 has nothing to do with this.

:]

[nimbalo300]

@eurazngal its the same flag of over 100 years stfu

[ClaudiaLawliet99]

shinya forever alone xd

[filth69ify1]

why are there stupid emo's at a dir en grey concert.

[drugwhore]

that devil horn bullshit people do with there hands is soo fucking fake every person doing that is full of shit

[Necrypt]

@drugwhore Wait, what? Why? It's the purest sign of rock n' roll.

Doing it at Avril Lavigne or similar bullshit concerts, THAT is fake.

[felixisdx]

The crowd is weak as fuck...

[munkeefork69]

I don't like them live. It's simply magical what pro tools can do to audio.

[THEREALMOSH2]

@munkeefork69 I'm assuming your new to them, look up the're budokan performances they're x100 better their.

[munkeefork69]

@THEREALMOSH2 definitely not new to d.e.g just not crazy about their live performances I'll stick to the albums

[THEREALMOSH2]

@munkeefork69 You don't think they're good live? What's so different? Well this live wasn't that good but compared to some of they're good lives they're nearly perfect

[munkeefork69]

@THEREALMOSH2 just a preference dude. Some bands I prefer live such as Dimmu Borgir or Gakt but Dir en grey just doesn't appeal to me live.

[THEREALMOSH2]

@munkeefork69 well ok then

[pauliazz94]

@munkeefork69 dude.. its literally the same to all the other bands.. what they do is record the song in the studio, make a music video then combine both... the other bands are even worst.. but this is still good but i prefer saku with the video of the boy killing is parent's xD FUCK YOU FUCK YOU AND WIPE!!!!!!!!!!!! peace ^^

[munkeefork69]

@pauliazz94 ???

[Twilight231001]

U haters then why even watch them

If u think they suck

[Twilight231001]

I cannot wait to see these guys live I almost got to seem them oh btw they don't suck when they play live

[PhillFxC]

I saw another video where saku sounded awesome live....i can't seem to find it tho : (

[Wattershed93]

damn they suck in live :<

[DigitalDevil94]

@Wattershed93

Actually, they are great live.... this song just sorta never sounds good however T_T

[filth69ify1]

Saku 1 ur dying saku 2 ur dead saku 3 nothing left

[thejanomix]

his voice sounds like the shiiiiit



[tositosi1578]

このライブは酷い・・・

客も反応悪いは・・

[MrDrainBramaged]

Is it just me or does it seem like kyo is the only one who gets into the performances..hahah come on guys get it together!! =\\

[magma3000]

@MrDrainBramaged I agree with you, but Toshiya gets into the performances a lot now.

[GatEgr]

客反応悪

[FF10master1]

fuck ya dir en grey rulz awsome quality great job

[volleyballchampion]

I really wish there was more headbanging in the crowd :(

[RoxyTheEchidna]

@volleyballchampion The crowd is leik, dead/:

[kozihoneyvanity]

Shinya looks really cute when drumming here :$ sorry it had to be said XD

[DerKupplerMeister]

Gotta admit, even with his voice in such a condition, Kyo still gives the perfomance his all.

[blizzared2]

imagine at 1:33 u heard that yell in ur basement xD rofl. Scared me

[JaysunLeigh]

I agree, this is definitely not Kyo's best vocal performace. However, during that time period he was having a lot of problems with his throat and touring for extended periods.

Since then, I have seen them twice and both times he has just gotten progressively better and better.

It seems that he figured how to do the aggressive, screaming style of vocals and still keep his throat healthy.

At the House of Blues in LA on their last LA tour (November 18th?) he sounded amazing.

Just my two cents.

[TheTerrorUforgot]

This sounds really bad compared to the CD version, but it certainly isn't from lack of effort on the band's part.

[whatthehell108]

this song is such a hard one to sing.

[festerlove]

Kyo seems to force his voice a lot in this song ó.ô

[Brad2427]

This is at Wacken, which is held in Germany.

[1mtk]

This wasn't in the US. They aren't haven't sold out to become maintream either. They are definitely in a league of their own. I saw them perform recently and it was the best show I've seen thus far. Amazing talent altogether. Simply a joy to watch and listen to.

[BoyaYoru]

it's at Wacken Open Air, Brad2427 is right, biggest Metalfestival of the world in Germany.

[SinGabrynth]

2:25 those two cannot head bang.

[666Mariko666]

@SinGabrynth this is so sad. say, there are even rules for head banging?

[NurseEri]

@SinGabrynth SOO MANY THUMBS UP

[SinGabrynth]

this cannot be in the us. definitely not.

[SinGabrynth]

they are turning more into uniform because it takes too much time for heavy makeup, and they don't want to be in the crowd other bands are in.

[hellacezkie]

go toshiya !

[Brad2427]

the chorus is just... ahhh

[mahhjau]

who is die and who isi kaoru? =X

[Franyjoss]

Die is the guy of the red guitar, And kaoru is the guy who has the ESP Viper (black guitar) srry for my english

[hapkidokid157]

Kaoru has the black guitar in this

die the red one

[SinGabrynth]

a badass red one.

[EmoVampireVictoria]

kyo kyo kyo kyo kyo mines mines

[apples21879]

dir en grey is an extremely versatile but still awesome band!

[apples21879]

its so crazy how much dir en grey have changed over the years from how they were in '99 when theyd be performing stuff like cage or yokan and now theyre singing alot heavier kind of songs like bugaboo and saku for example in just 10 years.

[Gravegun]

Often bands change. It's the same thing with MUCC... Once the kings of angura kei and a unique japanese sound and now they play more and more westernized music with electronic elements. There are a lot of other examples like this. But it's strange... If I think about it Dir en grey is the only band where I really adore the change. Without it awesome songs like Saku and Repetition of Hatred would never have been possible.

[RichiBitch]

i wouldnt say MUCC is playing westernized music... just listen to their singing melodies... which western band has similar singing melodies to theirs? not even one... its true their music was a little KoRn-ish nu metal but now they have their own style...

[Gravegun]

NO ^^ I just don't think so. To my mind they lose their uniqe style more and more and turn mainstream. Of course they still have some of their own trademarks within their music. If not it would be even more sad. But I really was a MUCC fan by heart and I know what I'm talking about when I say they lost what was so special and intense about them a few years ago. I'm not the only one who thinks that way. But still they aren't bad.

[RichiBitch]

turning mainstream doesnt mean that they are giving up an unique style... a good example is L'Arc~en~Ciel... they are mainstream but they have their own unique style too... i know in Sora to ito there are some metalcore parts.. at first i was like "eh? are they becoming westernized? no way :S" but i listened other songs on their new album and i was calmed, they still have their unique style... did You heard their newest song Freesia? its super Awesome and unique too... true Japanese masterpiec

[depechex]

@Gravegun Seriously, my opinion about MUCC is EXACTLY the same as yours. Word by word... well, it's not really a surprise at all that more people think MUCC are dead but it's hard to find someone who has the exactly same opinion as yours.

I needed to say it ^^

[0HAM0revived]

i really liked bugaboo, i thought i was the only one who did

[sa1ya2]

京様素敵すぎ

[13darkdeath13]

son un asco tokando en vivo

[sasukeluvver1]

Poor Kyo must have been getting so tired T_T

[Shirobero]

1st No Visual Kei =D

2nd Hum, Kyo can't do the vocals of his albums but he has a fucking amazing feeling!

[poopwadmcgee]

it was weird... i watched two different lives of Obscure, and one sounded more intense, but was lacking in precision and "skill"

when the other was pretty much spot on but less precise and perfect.

seems like he was feeling the songs really intensely at Wacken, but something was getting in the way of his preciscion. i dont know.

BOTH WERE AWESOME THOUGH

so is this!

[Shirobero]

I need to agree!

Dir has some feeling. Its impossible to explain and this feeling is the diferential. A unique band.

[TheLPsyche]

He was probably weak or tired

[AnCafeBest]

This was right after his surgery...

[poopwadmcgee]

well damn he is on perky motherfucker after surgery.

[stigerqueen]

I think this was before he had his surgery. They are so amazing now like better than the album versions.

[Hydeist117160]

Seriously though there are sometimes where he's just insanely awesome but some where he's drained and sounds off.. when he does he knows and you know he knows because his face changes... there's some parts on the rose trims again dvd where you see how pissed he is that he is off pitch... and then if you read about before he needed that surgery he begged the fans for forgivness truly an honorable man...

[stigerqueen]

Yes but you can't expect him to be perfect all the time. When you put as much strain and is that rough on your voice night after night it is gonna crack. I agree he knows when it is happening and is an honorable man.

[A7Xsephiroth]

Kyo's got a hell of a lot of energy, I wish I could do that in the hot ass sun XD. Dir En Grey is incredible.

[naokoryo]

Freaking Awsome!!!!!

[imagineallthis]

kyo ya no canta,una pena!

[13thKaze]

Wow he nailed it, sometimes he's more roary than screamy but he always has a crazy-good voice. Best voice ever IMO.

[wrangler34]

Naaaa, Mike Patton is slightly better vocally. But the big opposite between the two is Kyo writes what he feels to be profound in his music, Mike Patton's stuff is often dumb, meaningless, or done for humor.

[iamnotapie]

they didnt play this when i saw them in Glasgow last night

they were still awesome tho

[Fuzaito]

KYO fuckk all over the world

u are the best man!!!!

[YohioGuitar]

no they don't sound like shit live, kyo is exhausted

[LastRqss]

lives are never really that astounding compared to album version, unless you're actually there it might be slighlty better.

[damnationofsociety]

ya, I guess it really matters where its at, the sound techs, how the artist are feeling, etc.I just went to see suicide silence and they sounded amazing.

[LastRqss]

yeah i guess you could say its like comparing apples and oranges though. they both have their own set of standards i agree

[damnationofsociety]

lol.Ya.

[iamnotapie]

wtf if i saw DEG performing Saku i would be ripping peoples limbs off not standing like an idiot

for shame wacken

[jacie74penney]

perfect *o*

[Tamoko991]

I fall in love..... Dir en grey are perfect!!! I love it!!

[crazydanger]

omg Kyo's voice was perfect here. Awesome.

[Amaglev]

Great band! But wtf, crap audience.. :/

[Hypnosis]

YouTube does that to quality.. it just.. pixelates. Or something.

[tarash24]

HOLDY CRAP!!! AWESOME

[Otherpie]

Omg i just love this band and the song *_*
