Not recorded, but my right arm and hand are on Toshiya's instagram picture of their Cologne concert: The one on the left, directly below the light.

It costs ￥7,870, so $72.

Flyer for Kaoru's ex-ex-band CHARM. Someone bought it before I could ><

Dir en grey "CLEVER SLEAZOID" demo VHS Currently on sale with a bunch of normal releases, but I can't pay 30k JPN + shipping etc. just for this VHS. ><

Random find on German mini ebay: DIR EN GREY - The Insulated World Limited DVD version Finally

Didn't that girl from BABYMETAL leave because of hearing issues? Or throat issues, I'm not sure. Anyway, everyone probably knows of Kyo's partial deafness ever since 2000. "R TO THE CORE" from VULGAR is about this, I think.

https://www.discogs.com/release/10957718 For 15€... the last time I saw this for sale, it was sold for ~200€ along with Amakuchi... good way to start the year in things Dir en grey... xD They also sell one of the 2000 mail-order limited boxes of KAEDE ~if trans... ~, this one: https://www.discogs.com/Dir-en-grey-楓If-Trans/release/10835106 For 40€, which is a really good price, so if anyone's interested...^^

No clue, I can't read notes or scores But yeah, in the normal lyrics, there's nothing there. But they're not entirely accurate as well, it's all one big clusterfck.

Yup, but according to the band score, he sings "hone no zui kara X X // GOD GOD GOD G-O-D", and the only other time I've seen those XX used so far is in the sheet lyrics for THE IIID EMPIRE, where they censor 魔人婦穴. So I think there might be something censored there, but well, I doubt it'll ever be revealed

Yeah, right before the rapping part, there's some loud sound, but you can clearly hear him sing someting beneath that sound: "hone no zui kara" PENG (doukan?) "GOD GOD GOD G O D"

yeah yeah very funny On a different note, in egnirys, does someone else here Kyo sing something between "Hone no zui kara" and "GOD GOD GOD G O D" (in the second to last verse)? To me it appears as if the word(s) were censored with a sound effect, and in the band score, it gives ✕✕ in its place...

merry shitmas

Accordion to setlist.fm, Kyo passed out during THE DEEPER VILENESS at last night's show. Edit, from kyotaku: I wasn’t at the show, but from fans report there was an accident during Deeper Vileness (middle of encore part). Kyo fell and was lying down in front of the drum stand. Some fans reported it was due to hitting his head while headbanging (not confirmed). Others noticed singing was gone and started checking on him. Before C Kyo stood up by himself and said he lost consciousness for a bit, but he’s fine. He finished the encore set.

In case they didn't give "tsumi" as the actual reading: 呪い is usually read as "noroi".

I think nearly everyone's first band was a cover band, except for Kyo's. And even he performed in Haijin, which was a cover band. So yeah, to me it seems covering other bands or copying their kind of music isn't considered as bad in Japan as it is in the West.

So, according to shuji: The VHS is not for sale and he doesn't know the contents. Looks like the only way to know is to buy it... meh ._. The red demo tape was the band's first. It has only one song, 月色の十字架. This contradicts both puresound and D+L's mixi community. The black (or blue) demo tape apparently has two versions: the puresound version with two tracks (LEAVE / White), and one owned by someone on Twitter, with three tracks (ガンジガラメ / 僕ノ中デ… / ユメノユメ). However, according to shuji, this tape was made by fans, so it's fake.

読弦 is "Dokugen".

DIR EN GREY - DIFFERENT SENSE (Deluxe Version) Now all that's missing is Hageshisa. Oh and a 1998 version of JEALOUS. :]

I live in Germany and since today, it's working again.

Hmm, maybe it's because he's still in that other band, Suzukingdom or whatever it's called? I think that's what "to graduate" usually means in this context, no?

That's the wording they used, yes.

Hmmm...

In October 2018, vocalist SAIKA graduated from the band after completion of the release tour for the band's best-of album THE LEGEND. His replacement is SADEW, who already performed on the band's fourth album, mozaiq. The band also announced their sixth album, slated for a 2019 release and put their website under construction: http://www.bloodstainchild.com/index.html On their Twitter, you can find short videos of their recent live performances with SADEW: https://twitter.com/bsc_of
