Next one is a new song - or what is now called as new new song. First new song after the ones in Shinsekai. I sooooo dig this one. It started with Shinya’s angry solo drums. Crowd was in awe. The song, for me, is headbang the whole way through. I don’t know with others but that’s how I did it. How would I describe it? I wish I can. That last Kaoru note in Utafumi, Shinya went straight to drumming after it and it was mad while Kaoru sustained his notes. Shinya’s drum lines are fast, so quick with Kaoru creeping slowly into the song. I think Toshiya came next and his lines are really low as Kyo sang. Then Die and Kaoru combo killed it. I shivered a lot. It’s fast with a slow, deep headbang motion in the pre chorus and chorus. If I can compare with another song it’s like a cross between Juuyoku and Decayed Crow but only in the chorus maybe? But yes, this new new song is so reminiscent of DSS for me. I really like the guitars. And i rarely say this. If i close my eyes I can hear Kaoru. Oh oh oh and how can I forget! Like almost in all their new songs, Kaoru did back up on this song - so passionately. What I noticed is that whenever they play a new song for the very first time, Kaoru would do back up. Die also did back up on this song with Kaoru on the pre chorus. Toshiya managed the chorus on his own. I remember Toshiya ended the song with a bass slide. So friggin’ sexy!

New new song. The Shinya drum intro song. I remember Kaoru shouting so loudly over the mic during his back up. I loved this new new song. I wonder what name it will have. I can’t remember but there was this one song where the pictures of white western males were flashed on screen. I think it was this song but at this point I cannot remember anymore. I want to hear this song again.

 

After hearing the other new song for the 2nd time, I now firmly believed it was the same song from the mode of DSS. Headbang from start to finish. There was no way my body would remember the hand and head movements if I have not been familiar with it before. If I will compare it to other songs… hmmm… it kinda reminded me of songs from Arche. Like Inferno or Midwife. Also a part of the lyrics were flashed on the screen. I only remember the kanji for “waratte”. I told myself i’ll remember but well, I forgot. Pfft. It was flashed in an ominous looking red font behind a solid black background.

From kyotaku:

The new song (06) with a video including a man wearing a quite scary leather mask starts fast, I can already see a lot of headbanging at seated venues. Kyo mostly sang fast, but some parts had shouts/shrieks. The rythm/speed changed few times - like sprinting and then jumping high for a while to go sprinting again.

The new song (07) had a video with the images of several serial killers, there was also a line like お前、そして見下して (will try to confirm tomorrow) appearing several times; Kyo definitely sings 'omae’ repeatedly and that’s why the song had been code named 'omae’ 😁 This song is apparently the one they played during the mode of DSS, but I’ll be completely honest - I couldn’t remember it so it felt like a new new song 😅 it’s a fast one as well.

I can go on and on with some other albums, but I think you get the idea.

Go on, if you want. Love to read other people's opinions on Deg, especially since I don't have much clue about music myself.

I think y'all are sleeping on Riyuu for realz >:|

It's almost entirely guttural, lots and lots of screaming and growling. A lot resembles the "Bring them to light" performances back in the day.

I would say it's more The inferno than Midwife, because Midwife only become faster in its second half.

Nice, I really enjoy their lives :]

I'm not sure why he calls it that. Personally, if I didn't know better, I wouldn't think it was a song by them. Not sure how to describe it, it's very "poppy", "up-beat"...? Dunno if those terms fit what I'm trying to say.

The song starts with guitars, then at 0:10, drums join and then the rest. Kyo starts singing at 0:22, first bridge(?) at 0:55 (I cannot love myself *Toshiya growl* x3), then chorus, then the song changes its beat at 1:28 (short Guitar strumming 4/4... I think? Like Dun-Dun-Dun-Dun). Second verse at 1:42, bridge (this time more gibberish) again at 2:03, followed by music only, refrain again at 2:32, then climax at 2:52, followed by a short Guitar riff, Kyo sings again and that's it. 3:30 long.

I think I read that it was on the screen. Also someone said that there were pictures of a bunch of famous American serial killers on the screen during that song (the mode of DSS one.)

According to a friend:

詩踏み → intense

人間 → intense

新曲(DSS) → intense

新曲(GOMAD) → anime song (lol)

新曲(HUMANSKIN) → intense?

Ranunculus → calm / quiet

理由 me up! (理由 me up inside)

- The song that was played on the Mode of DSS tour is most likely titled “Celebrate Empty Howls.”

What's the reasoning for that? With Ranunculus, the lyrics were on screen. For the other song, "I cannot love myself" (or sth like that) was audible and/or on screen, too. Kyotaku calls it "Punk's Not Dead", iirc.

It's so confusing, all these new songs @.@

Thanks, appreciate it. :]

I think they used 被る because it implies that a person’s skin is being worn as a mask. Look at the end of the music video and it makes sense.

It's probably a wordplay on this: http://tangorin.com/dict.php?dict=general&s=猫を被る

Also, I asked kyotaku for her take on the title translations and wow, would you look at that:

• 01. 軽蔑と始まり (Keibetsu to Hajimari) - scorn and beginning
• 07. 赫 (Aka (could also be read as ‘kaku’ but English dir site lists it as 'aka’)) - shine, glitter
• 11. 谿壑の欲 (Keigaku no Yoku) - unlimited, insatiable desire
• 12. 絶縁体 (Zetsuentai) - insulator
• (the cap from the merchandise from this tour has 絶縁 (insulation/disconnection) printed on it so I’m assuming that one of the new songs (new or new-new) they play is this song )
• 13. Ranunculus - the language of flowers says 'attractive’ or 'brilliant’

Looks like my translations aren't that wrong at all, huh. Who would've thought.

Sorry, I have no answer to that. 😕

They played the new "Wake" today, as well as two entirely new songs. Also, the DSS song got changed.

Thanks for the constructive criticism and alternate translations, guys. Appreciate it!

But now that I have more time, let me revise the names:

• 軽蔑 means "scorn", "disdain" or "contempt". と can mean either "and" or "with". I decided to go with the latter on a whim, maybe because it's the first track and 始まり means "origin" or "beginning". So, "Beginning With Contempt". Could also mean "Contempt and Beginning", but that sounds weird.
• 人間を被る is "Wearing Human", but because of their tour title "Wearing Human Skin", I decided to translate it as that, to keep it more official. 被る also means "to bear a burden", so the title could also be understood as "Bearing the burden of mankind".
• 詩踏み isn't "Poetry Rhyming", but "Poetry Trampling". I forgot to change it on the wiki and copied it from there. The latter kanji possibly refers to 踏み絵, tablets with Christian images, on which Edo-period authorities forced suspected Christians to trample.
• 赫 is a rather rare Kanji, comprised of the Kanji for "red" times two. It's used in a variant of "kagayaku", which means "to shine", and you might know if from Tokyo Ghoul, where it's used in the word "Kagune". But with the reading "aka", it's (apparently) really uncommon.
• 谿壑の欲 comes from a Japanese saying that desires aren't satisfied if they happen one after another. The actual saying is written as 渓壑の欲 and translates to something like "Desire of Ravines".
• 絶縁体 means "Insulator" (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/絶縁体), but I suppose the deeper meaning would be along the lines of someone isolates themselves from humans. Something like that.

So, if you guys want to criticise something, please don't do it like those two. That doesn't help anyone.

Says a lot about their maturity if people don't listen to a song because of its name.

But I suppose most of the people here, me included, just like making fun of things, no matter if they like them or not.

"Values of Madness" and "谿壑の欲" (Ravenous Greed) sound like names for the DSS song: "The song they played at mode of DSS reminds me of "Bring them to light", tempo-wise. It's entirely guttural, too. There's a slower, more melodic part in the middle. ~3 minutes long."

The other, no idea.

btw:

軽蔑と始まり = Keibetsu to Hajimari = Beginning With Scorn

人間を被る = Ningen o Kaburu = Wearing Human Skin

詩踏み = Utafumi = Poetry Rhyming

赫 = Aka = Illuminate

谿壑の欲 = Keigaku no Yoku = Ravenous Greed

絶縁体 = Zetsuentai = Insulator

The name Ranunculus is Late Latin for "little frog", the diminutive of rana. It's also a name of the buttercup flower.

I can imagine Kyo thinking up the titles and then using google translate to translate them, tbh...

Not mine, but they'll be up in some weeks, from my experience. When the Russians get their copies.

Two, actually

He did the one for Cologne, too

Nothing in the OP spoke of only vk-bands though...

Ah, so that's what blacktooth meant xD

But I actually meant any song by Dir en grey. :^)
