D - Ouka Sakisomenikeri [PV]

D's Preview Video for "Ouka Sakisomenikeri"
[ 桜花咲きそめにけり ].

For those of us who have some knowledge of Asagi's lyrical style, and his knowledge of literature, you'll find that "Ouka Sakisomenkeri" is indeed the correct romanization--I say this because I've seen people complain about it being "incorrect".
"Ouka Sake some ni keri" is not the correct romanization.

Anyway, that aside; I love this PV! It's probably my favorite PV of all time--better than Corvinus in my opinion, even (although that was Asagi's work alone, and I like the song). I simply adore the whole "Old Japan" theme going on--and I adore Kabuki and Noh themes, so naturally, this Neo-Japanesque (oh the irony! XD) style is perfect to me.
I commend D for their work here, and I'm happy to see a band like them around~

I hope you enjoy this PV as much as I do~
If the quality is bad, watch it in HIGH quality (this is youtube's fault XD).

NOTE: In the future, there will be a subbed version of this video posted, as well as other songs like "Yami Yori Kurai Doukoku no A CAPELLA to Bara Yori Akai Jounetsu no ARIA", "Yami no Kuni no ALICE", "Birth", "Sleeper" "Snow White", etc. I plan to include Live performances as well, should I be able to get a hold of videos with high enough quality.
Keep your eyes open for these, in the future!
~ULTIMATE LOVER~

~dix love!~

[Haku92292]

its a good song, but I dont get why they dress like girls.

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

@Haku92292 Technically, ASAGI and Tsunehito are the only ones who look like women. And the theme for the song is more of a Noh / Kabuki thing, so ASAGI's feminine wardrobe fits this one.

An easier thing to say: D is a Visual Kei band. What do you expect? lol

Visual Kei = A lot of makeup and potential cross-dressing.

[Haku92292]

@ManasJeuneFilleX True, I mean Versailles does the same thing. But Alice Nine, Nightmare, Gazette, and the likes all look normal, and they are visual kei. Oh well, its all good when the music is a good as this.

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

@Haku92292 Hm. Versailles I know is REALLY VK... In D's newest PV for "Akaki Hitsuji ni Yoru Bansankai" they are too, but here, it's not so emphasized.

And, I don't have any names for it really, but Alice Nine, Nightmare and Gazette are part of a different section of VK that's closer to regular J-Rock. Versailles has the whole Euro-Nobility thing going, and D... well, D has all sorts of stuff on top of Vampire-based roots. They're returning to it in "Akaki Hitsuji..." though.

I like the song better than the video and i love the video it's self so that's saying something. I adore the use of the shamisen (or is that the koto?)

Thanks for posting!!! ^_^

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

It's one of my favorite D songs. =p Naturally I adore the video too, but the song is more what I focus on... I'd steal Asagi's kimono right off of his back if I had the chance though lol

Due to the range and speed of the instrument, I would say that it's safe to assume that it's the koto--but still, it's only Ruiza playing a synth via guitar. I'm sure it's the koto though, because it goes through some scales along the way, and a koto has 13 strings, while the shamisen only has 3...

[billiscious]

holy shit.

i... i don't know what to say.

lovely. beautiful.

[Chevy00001]

i'm speechless, as always when i see asagi.

I love this song and I love the video that goes with it.

[KestrelHime]

Waah!! Favorite song by D so far!!! ^^

This song reminds me a lot of Kiryu! They are also a really amazing! ^^

[Jasppier]

This sound little like Kiryu.. But I think that D is much better than Kiryu

[SarahGekkou]

Dammit Asagi... so pretty... such a beautiful voice...

If I believed in such things, I'd say you were an angel fallen from Heaven. T_T

[YuuSenkai]

dayum, im' so flabbergassted. i can a ctually find a song with my favourite tune in it! anyways, ilove how asagi-tan sings.

[YashaYuki1311]

@ManasJeuneFilleX *Sorry for the late reply* I'd steal it too, and then maybe stare at him O_e It's creepy I know XD
