Man, this thread was an interesting read. Here's some more pictures of Ki$aki's old bands, just for completion's sake I guess:

Sound effect. jic your reaction means you don't trust me, from jpwiki: 音響効果（おんきょうこうか）、サウンドエフェクト (sound effect)、略してSEともいう。音楽コンサートにおいては開演前に客席に流す音楽や歌曲もSEと呼ぶ。 "Sound effect" is also called "SE" (from English "sound effect"). The music that plays for the audience before a concert starts is also called "SE".

Some more La:Sadie's stuff and magazines. This means that the following La:Sadie's shows have been released sometime ago: [the first three were allegedly sold for the first time on 20.12.1996, that could explain the different CD pictures] 13.08.1996 - Maebashi Ratan (no pics available) 14.08.1996 - Kumagaya Vogue (one song leaked) 16.08.1996 - Niigata O-DO 20.08.1996 - Ichikawa CLUB GIO (two songs leaked) 29.08.1996 - Osaka amHall (completely leaked, often mislabeled as LS' last live) 30.08.1996 - Osaka amHall I've also added La:Sadie's to setlist.fm: https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/lasadies-7bd6c2b0.html Some entries even have setlists, but most are empty, of course^^

I finally got around to double-checking this, so for those who care: MAGGOT, 眠りの迷い, THE FATAL BELIEVER, 菩提樹, ネヴァーダイ are from the August 1, 2006 concert. 刹那 and 残‐ZAN‐ are from the May 31, 1997 concert. I think they're from the cassette rip, as opposed to the more common rip you can find on YouTube. 藍紫色 is from the October 28, 1997 concert. raison detre and Unknown... are from the October 30, 1997 concert, the latter was actually still called 刹那 at that time. No clue where exactly Cage is from, but it's a live arrange version that was performed on the tour 2000>>20001 macabre. As for the rest, some are fake tracks, the others are live tracks from official releases, I think.

Never trust a translation you haven't done yourself I guess

kyo_official twitter 2018.10.31 sukekiyoリハスタート致しました。 2日あるところはメニューと演出を変える予定です。 あとBGMを無くし、その間、公演が始まる前はメンバーのインタビューを流そうと思ってます。全ての会場、全て別のインタビューを流す予定です。今回が終わればもうやらない曲も結構出るのかなと思っております。 京 sukekiyo started rehearsal. When there are two days we will have a different menu (setlist?) and performance. Also, there won’t be a BGM, at that time we will have a video of members interviews. For each venue there will a different interview. And I’m also thinking of playing lots of songs we usually don’t in case it’s the last time. Kyo by kyotaku last time, huh

Yup, the original one, from what I know.

Original Karma, Aoitsuki and Byou""Shin were played in 2017, the others haven't been played in a looong time. "S" was played once in 2004, the others haven't been played since 2001 and original Kiri to Mayu was only ever played in 1997, from what I know. From six Ugly, they played all songs in 2016, except for children in 2017 and Byou""Shin not at all. :]

Dir en grey 「楓」～If Trans･･･～ CRYSTAL VIDEO BOX mail-order version (2000 limited), came with an extra pamphlet for Dir's 1998.2.21 show and a TMOAB poster. Finally, and only for 20€

That's exactly the kind of "fan" I meant in the other thread some days ago. Absolutely disgusting.

Hiragana, huh. Wonder if it's a stylistic choice or a first hint of a re-naming...

Kisaki and just about everyone

Karma was released as a digital version in 2008 or 2009, but you could only get it via the band's Utafull website, which is super-old and mobile only. Maybe TNP has a rip of the VHS. Regarding the story behind KtM and SnY, the latter's lyrics were written first, but a day before recording, Kyo was asked to change the lyrics. Regarding GARDEN, I'm not sure if those ar actually two different versions. It's not like SnY and Karma, that were forced on the kaede VHS, after all. But I can tell you that the PV was recorded in May 1997 (although I can't find my source for that right now, I think it was because of the same location and outfits?). Oh and kaede was initially released in December 1997.

No, I was right behind him. His whole demeanour was so weird, can't even really describe it. Maybe it was because of his girlfriend, but I think he absolutely wanted to appear as super cool, but only came off as condescending. But I met some nice people after the concert, so that cancelled each other out, I guess.

Did you hear the guy who pulled out a box and played Dir en grey in the queue outside?

Yeah, the twins with beards and no hair, right? They were next to me on the right, in front of me was the tall girl with red hair and left to her was the Kyokyokyo girl. While we waited for the show to start, someone sat down right behind me. And over the course of the concert, of course the crowd moved a lot, but sadly I didn't manage to get further towards the stage. Couldn't grab anything either, didn't even see Kaoru's picks due to the lighting.

I was in front of Shinya, in the middle of the crowd. Right where two of the tallest people stood, obstructing my view lots of times. But you can actually see my right arm on Toshiya's instagram picture

Yup, look here: https://www.setlist.fm/stats/dir-en-grey-43d6c33b.html Fun fact: MACABRE is their least-played official song (aside of the three indies live songs). It always surprises me when fans think or wish they'd play it, especially overseas. They've also played Ware, Yami tote... only 18 times, which I find very surprising, considering that it's one of the best tracks off of UROBOROS.

Yup, two times in 2001, February 11 and 19.

They should just add Ladybeard by now.

Where were you located in the crowd? I was right behind that girl who growled Kyokyokyo a couple times. In front of Shinya, in the middle of the pack. Didn't see or catch anything this time, was hoping for a second drum stick. And I wondered about Die's hair as well, how is he doing that? Are there vents in his mic stand?

Yup, today was packed. Didn't see shit because of a girl that actually managed to be taller than me, which is a rare occurrence. The setlist was as boring as expected, but BEELZEBUB is something everyone should experience once. Also, no Sustain, yay. But! We had to wait 70 minutes for the band to start. 30 minutes into that, they suddenly began working around the drums, no clue why. The sound was alright, I think, but as I said, I dont have ears for that. In conclusion: The tour shouldve been named "Waiting to begin" and Berlin 2015 was better. Mainly because of the visuals during Rinkaku. Oh, but Kyo's growls are absolutely bonkers. He delivered on KtH.

I bought a signed DUM SPIRO SPERO box set off of ebay a year or so ago, but the signatures have started to vanish, sadly.

Munich's setlist: New SE 詩踏み 腐海 Ash Revelation of mankind 理由 Devote My Life 軽蔑と始まり 輪郭 THE BLOSSOMING BEELZEBUB Ranunculus 人間を被る Values of Madness THE IIID EMPIRE Beautiful Dirt 鼓動 Sustain the untruth 羅刹国 Ranunculus (PV) So yeah... I don't expect anything special for tomorrow. The London show was the odd-one-out, it seems.
