Yup, but someone told me that at all previous concerts, they took 30 minutes to take the stage and 30 minutes between the main set and the encore... But it's fine anyway, got all problems solved

How long were the concerts until now? I heard conflicting lengths, from 90 minutes to as long as 2h30m. I mean, it's just one band, so it shouldn't be much longer than 90 minutes, right? If nothing happens, of course. But this tour seems to be kinda cursed ._.

1. I think that the song's title refers to the Third Reich, but there's no official confirmation, as far as I'm aware. 2. The two demo songs come from disc 2 of DUM SPIRO SPERO, only included with the LP box version. 3. I think kyotaku would be the best to ask, on tumblr. 4. I have no idea, he never got back to me either, so I guess he's over the whole DEG stuff.

A lot has to go wrong to lose read access to files on your own laptop... I wonder if the IT dude had tried to turn it off and on again, would've probably fixed it.

How can you "lose" computer tracks? What does Shinya mean? Can someone explain?

The release date appears to have been pushed back to the 26th. But the album will be available at the German shows for around 15€.

Today's setlist for those who weren't there: SE 詩踏み 腐海 Ash 理由 輪郭 Devote My Life 軽蔑と始まり Phenomenon (cut short) THE FATAL BELIEVER (In place of THE BLOSSOMING BEELZEBUB) Sustain the untruth (In place of Ranunculus) The inferno (In place of NINGEN WO KABURU) Values of Madness THE ⅢD EMPIRE Beautiful Dirt 鱗 (In place of KODOU -> The Final -> Repetition of Hatred) 朔-saku- (In place of Revelation of mankind) C (Unplanned extra performance) 羅刹国 SE. Ranunculus piano ver.

I think the Dir en grey guys are rather older than younger.

Yeah, you missed the difference between being interested in a band and their music and being interested in the band members and their personal lives. I wrote "radically invested" for a reason. Being invested in the band to the point of fetishizing its members is definitely no normal fan behaviour. Or would you say that wondering if Toshiya was in D+L or GOSICK first is the same kind of interest as wondering if he'd bone me after their show? And since you're not the first to mention the 6th member thing, it's something the band called their fans in the past, as far as I'm aware. Besides, it's long gone from my signature. I think it's more about the where, when and how.

Someone (or multiple people) took pictures of the band at a train station. I'm actually a bit surprised nobody has posted them here already.

Man, tumblr-DEG is in uproar about the non-venue "stalker" photos and taking photos at the band's concerts... Why do people get so radically invested in this band (or bands in general)? They're just some dudes who play music.

1. Utafumi 2. Fukai 3. Values of Madness 4. Ash 5. Wake 6. Devote My Life 7. Keibetsu to hajimari 8. Ranunculus 9. Phenomenon 10. Rinkaku 11. Ningen wo kaburu 12. Sustain the Untruth 13. THE IIID EMPIRE 14. Beautiful Dirt Encore 15. THE FINAL 16. The Inferno 17. Rasetsukoku Setlist A is with THE FATAL BELIEVER, Kodou and Revelation of mankind. Setlist B is with Phenomenon, THE FINAL and The inferno.

You all present valid points, but as I said, it's more of a gut feeling. If they continue, good for them.

Just a hunch... no releases since 2017, multiple member changes in their short existence, not a lot of touring iirc... I know DEG released an album this year, but even sukekiyo managed to get one (or two) releases out there. Then there's SERAPH, which I'd already consider to be on hiatus.

Has anyone guessed DECAYS yet? 🤔

I have more problems understanding where this came from tbh

kyo_official twitter 2018.10.05 sukekiyoの11月公演で一曲入りの未発表音源を発売しようと思ってます。無くなっても追加する予定は無いので、ご了承下され。余れば通販するかもしれないけど。ヨーロッパ行く前に仕上げたのだ。 京 At sukekiyo shows in November I want to sell a cd with a new song. Please acknowledge that even if it gets sold out we are not planning to release extra copies. If there’s anything left we might sell it at the galaxy shop. It was finished before going to Europe.

Hi, some months ago, I made a list on Discogs about the various versions Japanese music gets released in, thought some here might be interested/help/correct. Afaik, there's no list like this on the internet, or at least I wasn't able to find one. Of course with Dir en grey releases as examples :^) 通常盤 (Tsūjō-ban) → Regular Version. Includes main CD, sometimes with extras like stickers or so. Example: Pretty much every normal release. 初回盤 (Shokai-ban) → First Press Version. This can mean any of the 初回 below, but it's commonly used as an abbreviation of 初回生産限定盤. 初回生産限定盤 (Shokai Seisan Gentei-ban) → First Press Limited Version. Literally "first-run limited edition production recording". Different cat.-no. than 通常盤. Example: Dir en grey - Vulgar 初回生産分 (Shokai Seisan-bun) → I think this refers to the extras of the 初回生産限定盤. No clue where I found it, though. 初回仕様限定盤 (Shokai Shiyō Gentei-ban) → Initial limited version. Literally "first-run limited edition technical recording". Same cat.-no. as 通常盤. Example: DIR EN GREY - Uroboros [Remastered & Expanded] 初回特殊仕様 (Shokai Tokushu Shiyō) → Initial special specification. Another description for the aforementioned. Example: Dir en grey - 鬼葬 初回封入特典 (Shokai Fūnyū Tokuten) → Initial version with an additional extra, such as a photo card, a sticker or an entrance ticket (応募券) / an entrance postcard (応募ハガキ) for a lottery. Often shortened to 初回特典. Example: Dir en grey - 脈 完全生産限定盤 (Kanzen Seisan Gentei-ban) → Special limited version. Literally "perfect production limited edition". Often the version with most extras. Example: DIR EN GREY - Dum Spiro Spero (LP Version) 完全受注生産限定盤 (Kanzen Juchū Seisan Gentei-ban) → Like the previous, but the number of copies that are made depends on the number of pre-orders. Example: DIR EN GREY - 輪郭 特殊パッケージ仕様 (Tokushu Package Shiyō) → Means that the jacket is special in some way. Example: DIR EN GREY - Arche スーパージュエルケース仕様 (Super Jewel Case Shiyō) → Means that it comes in a super jewel box. Example: DIR EN GREY - Average Psycho 2 特殊スチールケース仕様 (Tokushu Steel Case Shiyō) → Means that it comes in a special steel case. Example: Dir en grey - Tour05 It Withers And Withers -Bootlegged- 紙ジャケット仕様 (Kami Jacket Shiyō) → Means that it comes in a paper jacket (gatefold). Example: DIR EN GREY - Dozing Green 封入ステッカー (Fūnyū Sticker) → Means that a sticker is included.

This single was released in 2018, by sukekiyo.

Can't wait for the bangya to scream "Kyo-chaaan" and "Kaworu-samaaa" next to my ears :')

It's definitely high on the list, along with naming yourself after their "real" names on social media and outright fetishizing the band members.

Yes, October 19, with bonus track Kigan.

In fact, if you like anything after their 2 track demo tape performance as DEATHMASK, you're not a true fan. They sold out with MISSA and became mainstream trash.

Some more info on the album's tracks etc.:

I actually left the lyrics wikia because their two or three sysops have some serious power issues. You can see most of it on my talk page there. So yeah, that's why the DEG wiki came into existence. There, I can be my own sysop, edit how and what I want and don't have to answer to anyone. Plus, I personally went through all booklets and almost all band scores to correct the lyrics. Some still have mistakes because I don't own the band scores (or there are none), but the bulk of lyrics are correct. Plus I can add whatever other information I want. sry for off-topic uwu
