Inward Scream is Kyo's little a capella vocal improv routine. In that video the band used it as a segue into Hydra 666. There's one from the Uroboros era where he screams "RADISH". I'll see if I can find it.

RADISH @ :47

I tend to be cautiously pessimistic with these guys because I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed nowadays. Say goodbye to what little melody ASS had. I don't even care if the new song makes my ningen kaburu.

They may as well remake Sustain the Untruth at this point.

I love that song.

This individual did a better job at keeping alive the spirit of VULGAR than the band did during the Mode of VULGAR tour.

Despite supposedly being very limited, this was pretty easy to find.

Toshiya really is the talent of the band.

I'm expecting either more theatrics or psychedelics for the next album. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

I'm really interested in your new haul. Congrats! You're going to need to post some good pictures here when you get them.

what do u think the dir en grey guy's eat for breakfast every day

Seagulls, if you recall from the AGE QUOD AGIS DVD.

I want adidas kei back.

Kyo actually has a twin who harmonizes with him in the studio for choruses but he's far too shy to come out on stage.

I'm just saying that because I can't begin to imagine the internet fallout from the event of DEG breaking up. It's hilarious how content starved everyone is after picking the bones of Arche clean that we'll discuss absolutely anything. Speaking of which, do you think Kyo ever bought that washing machine?

What will happen when this band breaks up some day?

For me it used to be that chorus/flange/reverbed effect Kaoru and Die used to do all the time, but now it's chugging and perforated ear drums.

Oh and I guess Kyo's voice is pretty unique.

I don't even enjoy music in the first place.

Worst thing about being a DEG fan that’s a grown ass man: being lumped in with the fucking weirdos

But that's my favorite thing about their shows. I always go in thinking I'm going to hate it but it's somehow made so much better by the fact that I feel hilariously out of place, yet we're all watching the same five Japanese men slowly trudge through their midlife crises on stage. It's strangely cathartic.

Who would've thought that Kyo's true calling was to play theremin?

Oh, with the woman and the doctor?

I'm just glad that the Latin fest is over. Kyo seems to have dumped that off on sukekiyo though.

"Welcome to the world of truth" and that older tour "That's where the truth is". They really like tour names that sound like tag lines from yoghurt commercials. 

New tour announced. Or at least I got a ton of tweets. TOUR 18 真世界

"pure world" or something. Not sure because I don't renshuu shimasu my nihingos enough. 

Would you buy it?

I get that same "end of a day" feeling with Behind and Kodou.

That's very similar to what I did, but I like keeping Un deux as the opener. Behind a Vacant Image is a great closer and is really the only track that leaves me satisfied once it's over.

so they slapped on that interlude that sounds like Shinya and Toshiya tumbled down the stairs together. 

I always got Seinfeld transition vibes from it. I really liked my first listen-through of MOO but that just took me out of it.

I always tweak the tracklists of their albums and throw in single versions or B-sides. Generally I try to respect the artist's intent when it comes to album sequence, but I don't think DEG even has an intent.
