You are solely responsible for the situation that occured. You constantly try to bait other members into arguments by making unsubstantiated "edgy"/inflammatory claims and then when someone calls you out on argumentative fallacies whenever you try to tread beyond the purely subjective, you either create straw men to fight against or whine about the "tone" in the discussion, a tone you very much set the standard for when needlessly attacking other members on their subjective taste, like or dislike of a certain song. Not only do you monopolize threads and antagonize people who don't agree with you, when you're done digging your own grave you have the nerve to call me out for not throwing you a rope and dragging you out of it. There's a reason why the reply got so many likes, perhaps you should reflect on your own actions on this forum a bit and how you present yourself here. Making a new account isn't much use when you keep falling back into the same patterns. Finally, don't tell me how I should and shouldn't do my job. The team keeps an eye on all threads and we don't take kindly to being told by others what actions to take. If you have a problem, use the report function or PM one of us.

Can people just like what they like instead of trying to call each other out with faux-musical knowledge and passive aggressive statements deriding the musical taste of another? It doesn't matter if one person likes "The Inferno" and the other person does not. We're not all going to like the same things! That's fine! Dir en grey has been around for twenty years and if they retread some old steps or make some songs you aren't going to like, you can live with it. And don't call out mods to "do their jobs" when we're watching this thread constantly for the actions of three of you. Just because we don't say anything to you doesn't mean we aren't aware. Don't dig yourself a hole you can't climb out of.

Easy with the inferiority complex, sweetie, you’re embarrassing yourself. I never said my statements triggered people. Let’s not forget: you started pissing and moaning because one person on the internet said they liked a song. Just one problem: you decided to weigh your opinion on a topic which you have 0 knowledge of, so I had to correct you. You legit thought the Gaika and Inferno outros were the same when they have 0 similarities other than the fact musical notes are being played in 4/4 time. You only said this because Dir en greys new material triggers you, so you tried to pretend you knew shit to slap down other people that like the music. But again, it’s hard to discuss music with someone that has 0 knowledge of music and who couldn’t tell the difference between a C major chord and their own asshole. I know why you lashed out at me. It’s painfully obvious. Within music communities (especially VK), an individuals perceived status is linked to how much they know about the band. You wanted to fit in and impress people with your supposed “knowledge”, so you legitimately got upset when I drew that “knowledge” into question. Simply put: I hurt your ego, and you lashed out in an attempt to protect it. I find it odd you would liken me to a child when I’m not the one who started crying when someone else said they liked a song that I didn’t. But of course, your fragile ego needs protecting, so believe whatever nonsense you’d like: not like that hasn’t stopped you before, now has it? 🤔

Anyways.... Rinkaku is still the best Dir en grey song ever. Is there any debate to this? Id love to hear peoples (wrong) thoughts.

Do you react the same way to every visual rocker who ditch the make-up? As for a replacement, my money's on Fumiya "Fu-min" Morishita because he's played in every other damn metal band in Japan except this one.

stopped caring about ha once he dropped the visual look, hope someone better will replace him!

Those songs are great tho Thank you for sharing!

Hi I don’t know if its ok to ask here, but i wanted to ask if someone of you has some SOFT BALLET stuff to sell? Thanx in advance

It seems he's suffering from dystonia in his left hand, which basically means the movements of his hand are compromised. I feel for the guy, hopefully he gets proper treatment!

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU Now excuse me while I rant about how terrible it is you have an opinion that differs from mine. For real though, Rinkaku is pretty fucking great. Kyo’s voice is good; but it’s the instrumentation that does it for me. And is that troll really posting with a different account now? lmao, how embarrassing.

Sad =\ I hope they will find new members soon but I have a bad feeling about all of this and their music is not as good as before Anzi left the band

Tell that to Tool, haha.

This is what happens when DEG doesn’t release any new material in 18 months. Unless you count the D’erlanger cover. That was pretty sweet.

It's gonna be released when I'n in Japan fuck yeeessss

There’s also a wah in The Pledge which, honestly, is a far better example of a sister song to Tousei. I also did not connect Revelation of Mankind to Saku on a musical level at all.

what?

I’m almost certain the band didn’t approach the “origins” concept with the intentions of retreading old songs. If anything it’s more like they used their entire discography as an inspiration. You could probably place each song on Arche on a past album and have them fit. And the reason I think that is because during the Mode of lives they chose specific Arche songs to place in each set list. Which reminds me, does anyone know if they played Cause of Fickleness during the Mode of Withering to Death tour?

Why is it that you insist on someone getting triggered over your statements? Were I passive aggressive for questioning your negative attitude towards people not really giving a damn about bazillion dorky-titled subgenres? You seem to love it so much to the point where you are eager invent some petty strawmen and even pettier claims that you "corrected" something as if you were some kind of Allmusic-tier critic authority knowing DEG or genres they play to the very core. Here, a stock representation of your forum self: @WhirlingBlackit might be your job to finish this shitfest instead of liking posts and letting this thread sink into Fukkatsu cesspool. Now to the topic: Maybe, maybe not. The band did not disclose what exactly they meant by "Origins" per Arche's meaning so we are free to speculate anything we want, no? People would for instance recall "Disabled Complexes" or "Toguro" when listening to "Phenomenon", which might have been plausible sources of inspiration during their songwriting process. Or "Tousei" being the "Kodou" of the album. Some throwbacks succeeded, some could not hold a candle to their possible sources of inspiration, was what I tried to say. "The Inferno" being the example of the latter, in case someone missed the point. Diru can do much better than that. I really wish the band would retell the songwriting process of each ARCHE song one day like they did with TMOAB, but that would not happen since they have to keep their mystery band cred intact.

Thanks a lot, I'll check everything out when I get back home. It feels like a smart concept though, starting really small and progressively get better. HAH Dad jokes, hell yeah I'll take you up on that offer Thank you, with all the help and support I'm seeing on this thread, I feel like I can definitely do it and get better, and I do hope this helps to inspire others who are struggling too.

Yeah I kind of had the same problem at one point in my life with a person I used to think was my best friend but, in the end I was the only one who tried and after I stopped trying I was questioned and then thrown away like one of those gums after you chew them too much XD. That helped me learn how to cut out toxic people and just all together know what's best for me. So, I guess experiences like this are good if you pick out the positive things and the lessons from them. If you need positive reinforcement or dad jokes or roasting people, my inbox is open any time ✨. Good luck with everything you are doing ☺️!

No problem. Let the positivity flow my friend

For meditation there's lots of different types but they all centre around the same thing. Just pick a type and google a tutorial for the type that catches your interest. It's not complicated you just have to remember the general idea is to clear your mind of thoughts. https://visualmeditation.co/7-types-of-meditation/ As for kaizen its a really simple philosophy the key being when starting a project start embarrassingly small. ie if you wanted to start going to the gym, instead of buying a gym membership the first day you would do literally one rep with a dumbbell. This is a good video too:

1 Death★Rabbits - へぃぽーの逆襲 2 般若 - 報い 3 般若 - 夢喰～ばく～ 4 REALICE - 猥褻どらっがぁ

Very fucking good album, it's really a pity hide had to pass when he did. I feel like this project could've had some real potential if they'd stuck around for longer. I remember 3. 2. 1. being one of the first jrock-related albums I REALLY got into back when I first started listening to Japanese music, and I think it might be one of my most-played albums of all time, actually. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I personally even prefer it to a large percentage of X Japan's output. Never knew the album was so connected to Killing Joke tho, that's pretty damn cool. Also, I always felt like Fucktrack6 was partially a reworking of hide's Frozen Bug, there's SOME similar parts, anyways

ARCHEMI is already one of my favorite vk bands,and even hoping for the best, I'm already preparing myself for the disbandment.

甘い暴力 stole 2017!

Which legitimately no one said. I don’t know why The Inferno, or new Dir en grey material in general, triggers you as much as it does. It literally set you off into being a passive aggressive asshole out of nowhere when I commented on how much I enjoy the song. I get it, you’re upset I corrected you in our conversation a few days ago and this was your chance to get back at me, but please try to act less petty, ESPECIALLY when you evidently don’t know a single thing about music and the only term you remotely know is “motif” to make up for your lack of musical vocabulary.

@doombox I just realize it when creating the list lol 甘い暴力 has all of their songs on yt, which is really cool. @Triangle Yes, I think I got stunned by all the beautiful three covers albums. Koroshi no Shirabe, for those effects you just mentioned, for the green shinning line which draws Shin Homura, and the Blood effect for Shin Tsuuzetsu. The guys should make more like those.

They could be opting for a drastic change and he's not willing to ditch the shinto-kei that they play.

They've been playing the same type of music for so long and now hes leaving because of musical differences???? Sounds untrue .-.

That cover is damn shiny and kinda holographic and the album comes with a random member photo card.. reminded me of k-pop so much I felt triggered XD. Also yes to 茫然自失 in any version <3.

not gonna bother listing singles https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gw5eVKFWr19gOFIxKOEe3Fvg02Vp3a5fCTqSqanUbEk/edit?usp=sharing ...and all the unexpected releases I find along the way

Don’t forget! They also both contain musical notes! Fuckin self-plagiarists!!!

Now we’re at the crux of the issue. Not only are you musically ignorant, you also don’t like the direction the band has gone (*cough* metal *cough*). Which is fine, you don’t have to like the direction Dir en grey has gone musically; but when you make arguments out of ignorance to inflate the importance of your half-baked opinion, it warrants correction. Just keep that in mind. Also, please keep your silly American politics out of this thread, thanks.

So I guess they want to play a game...

Actually Gaika is one of the most beautiful songs from Uroboros remastered.

Kyo eats strawberry Pocky Kaoru eats dry toast Die drinks beer Toshiya eats spicy ramen Shinya doesn’t eat

They have yet another new look. Individuals:

I want adidas kei back.

dogmatic 15-16 final, limited editon. man was this thing worth every penny!

I feel you On topic: and some more that I have yet to win the auction on. February is going to be expensive ._.
