Dir is still managed through free will, it was hardly a dramatic separation that needed to be negotiated under the table. I'm just saying that Yoshikis involvement was of marginal importance given their already quickly rising fame at that point. The curve was already pointing in the right direction and he just jumped on the chance to put his brand on another band that was a surefire success. Also, I'm glad you have friends. Keep it up.

'''My dad totally works for Nintendo you guys, I swear!''

Why is it that you still don't understand the purpose of stage names? What is wrong with "Kyo"?

Do you mean me lmfao. They've been doing quite well recently, not just in Kansai but Kanto as well, especially in the past 2 or 3 months. In April they started going down into the crowd and stamping people with hanko during kimi, izon, tattoo and it's become a huge hit even among bangya who aren't fans of the band. There's always a big rush of people who run in just for it. Btw, the second song they're playing in the video @Mihiposted is ちゅーしたい which will be on the new release coming out next month. If there's enough interest I may consider doing a shopping service for it as well as the 500 yen 入門盤 CD and cheki. Also I completely forgot I posted here a few months ago saying I'd share live reports and dumb stories so I'll do that within the next couple of days.

Man, seems like Noah really went for it at that dance battle.

As they have paused activities on July 17, it has been determined that 乙女国家 (otomekokka) will return to the stage on December 23 at their live at Shibuya club Asia.

If you haven't spent at least a season or two moping in your room to deadman, we cannot be friends.

This is why I'm rooting for ISIS

Carpe diem has restarted activities on July 18! Drummer Jun (ex-閉鎖病棟 (Heisa byōtō) → カラビンカ (Kalavinka) → somali, ラブカ) has also joined the band!

also today they announced that at their drummer Issei birthday oneman live which takes place at 2017.10.21 名古屋MUSIC FARM that their distributed CD, title not yet finalized, will contain 2 songs: 1.4(仮) (tentative title) 2.15(仮) (tentative title)

Clear played at Takadanobaba AREA for the first time in a year the other night (7/17)! But it was also their last time playing there T_T They all really love this livehouse (it seems like a lot of bands do actually) <3 Their set list: 1.星流る夜に (Hoshi nagaru yoru ni) 2.DizzlingDance 3.モノクロの未来 (monochrome no mirai) 4.Surround It was a completely different setlist from 7/11. I love how they can have a completely different set list, but I'm never disappointed. Like most bands have that one song that they will play without fail at every single live, but Clear doesn't really do that. I mean like if it's their shusai I think they tend to play Yume Utsutsu for their encore, but it's not like a MUST at EVERY live. Like if they DON'T play a song, maybe I'll be like "oh I wanna hear that next time" but it's not like I'm upset about it. I mean, like last time I saw Tra they didn't play Kamikaze and I felt SUPER weird about it haha. But yeah, CLear also usually does a pretty good job of matching the other bands their playing with so that the other gya will maybe give a shit about them haha idk they're just really smart with their set lists <3 Anyway, I really liked their set list last night! I mean, I love their set list every time really haha When I first got into CLear, Surround, Dizzling Dance and Hoshi Nagaru Yoru Ni were like my top three songs for sure so it was just really nice for me <3333 Also, I think I just like jumping in circles, which you def do a lot of in Dizzling Dance lolol <333 Jumping in circles and throwing hearts. It's the fucking best. hahaha <333333 Maybe that's why they don't really play Dizzling Dance the same time they play Mousou Closet... too much spinning in one set list?? lolol I'm glad more ppl joined in for Dizzling Dance! I always feel kind of dumb if I'm the only one doing the furi for it in the second row haha it's really fun though!! lolol Before they went into Surround, Miu (the support bassist) had some technical difficulties (all the bassists were having problems that night for some reason), but Tsukimi didn't notice and played the track to go into Surround cos he didn't notice, so they had to stop it suddenly lol they recovered pretty well like Tsukimi just started playing a good beat and Wataru and Kai joined in and it was like a nice jam session, but then they stopped suddenly. They should've just kept going lolol then Ryota started talking and Tsukimi told us a story of him spilling his salad all over the floor before he was even able to take one bite... but no one really laughed and Ryota was like... yeah that's not very interested (I found it interesting though cos I've def done that before??? lolol) Anyway, but then they fixed w/e problems Miu was having and all was well. I really REALLY like Surround <33333 That was the first song that from CLear that I was SUPER obsessed with haha Anyway, here's some picspam from after the live <3 (they all changed their looks a bit! Ryota pinned his bangs back! <3) Their next live is 8/8 @ Shinjuku Club Science! http://eplus.jp/sys/T1U14P0010843P006001P002231230P0030001 (they aren't listed on the eplus site cos they were added last minute I think, but they will def be performing!) The only other live they have in August is on the 31st, but they haven't announced any details yet.

You, guys, hope they are brutal ? Hey they look like Royz ! Of course they won't be brutal !

Kyo's real name is Hironori Nishimura, not Touru. But as his stage name is Kyo you should probably refer him to as that.

i cant BELIEVE theres still ppl out there gettin hard bc of game of thrones and/or dr. who in 2017

ayyyyyyyyyy (PLEASE switch labels though, for the love of god)

I was so bored that I put in my favorite lenses and tried to do cool make up (and failed) to take photos but only those two turned out well

Jesus fucking Christ. -Implying that Kyo and GaCKT look remotely similar. -Implying that a guy who shrieks like a hydra from the seventh hell would call some dude '' big buddy! ^_^" These are the people who only go to bed after daydreaming about kyo being a bottom who when he gets home hugs his vanilla scented teddy bears and puts on diapers for fun and gets spanked by gackt

last fm was also easily the best site to search for concerts in an area. all the other options these days are so shit that you just have to either remember all the bands you listen to and go to their OHP, or know all the venues in town and check their sites. sincerely die a painful death everyone involved in ruining last.fm

[2] I like this promo pic

a lot of great live house names out there, but Bigtwin Diner SHOVEL has to be near the top. instant classic

That's because nobody ever wants to see another Dir en grey.

ラミエル (Ramiel) 5-month consecutive one-coin singles will be released at 2017/9/6, 2017/10/4, 2017/11/15, 2017/12/13 and 2018/1/6, respectively.

brb going to enjoy hikaru's cream

Inside of Me will distribute one of their new CDs to those who spend at least 3000 yen on merch (1 CD for 3000 yen, both for 6000...)

I got into deadman over a decade ago and just last year their music was pretty much all I played during a tough breakup and it still has not gotten old even a bit. So yeah. They are the definition of comfort music for me.

"That dude from *insert band's name here* totally stole Ruki's look".

I met a colleague at my volunteering work for the first time and he was such a fucking creep, asking me to go to the storage room with him, whispering to me the question 'was my relationship with my partner serious' and saying he could give me a ride all the way back to my mom's home if I needed a car. He kept starring at me while he thought I wasnt noticing. The dude is sixty years old and married. Ugh. I just hope I don't have to see this cunt again. Why do old people think they can get away with being slimy as fuck.

Btw. it looks like their Clapper oneman is sold out. At least there are no tickets left at eplus

How much do I love deadman? I got an all region DVD player just so I could watch endroll.

think reporting should be back to normal from now on. anywho. Osaka day 1. 2017/07/17 【大阪府】グランキューブ大阪 01. Deity 02. MACABRE -揚羽ノ羽ノ夢ハ蛹- 03. Audrey 04.

Kind of wish LAB. THE BASEMENT would start making new music again, or that Ao would start up some other solo side-project. His voice is rather unique and I feel like he could deliver some more (post-)punk / new wave-inspired goodness, but at this point I feel like he's comfortable enough just sticking to cali gari. DALLE is fucking garbage and they have literally 1 (one) good song dummy-xD are INCREDIBLY slept on (even tho their vocalist seems to have the same helium dealer as Yumesleep's one)

As of yesterday, Amai Bouryoku has released a compilation CD of all their songs (minus 嘘キス) entitled 入門盤 (nyuumonban) ("introductory disk"). Includes 6 previously released songs along with 1 new track for only 500 yen. Tracklist: 1. 溺愛シット (dekiai shitto) 2. 本能 (honnou) 3. 君、依存、タトゥー (kimi, izon, tattoo) 4. 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい (egaodeirutte mendokusai) 5. 聞いてもないし、求めてもないのに (kiitemonaishi, motometemonainoni) [*live recording, call and response] 6. ファッションメンヘラ (fashion menhera) 7. 夜乙女 (yoru otome) Unfortunately this CD does not come with a lyrics booklet (probably why it's so cheap)

Noah just read Otake for filth!

why are indians on facebook almost always like *that*?

i hope they're brutal

gotta say their previous released stuff didn't get me at all, however these two previews sound fantastic!!

New X Japan is soundin great

visual key

This sounds like another G-inspired song.

Better than most of bands, but it is not to my linking.
