Yes, bootlegs. But in Western language, bootleg also describes the counterfeit releases of actual albums etc., so most go with tereko instead.

Yeah, Shinya is too br00tal for his own good!

From what I know, the Japanese fans usually follow a certain band member, so if DEG were to split up, the fans that survived the shock would probably just listen to whatever their fav put out next. For me, although I don't care about him as a person, it would be Kyo. I don't really have an ear for music, so I can't say if a band sounds different because of a different guitarist or bassist or drummer. The only thing that stands out to me is the voice. I mean of course I can recognise if a band entirely changes its genre (like the latest Suicide Silence album, for example), but I'm lost when it comes to the deeper stuff. So while I enjoy listening to sukekiyo, the other bands in DEG's orbit are not that interesting to me, simply because of the different vocalists.

The tour he means is 「楓」～if trans･･･～ Mechanism For Leave -Unknown･･･Despair･･･a Lost- ～裁きの血舞台～, specifically on May 5, 1998. You can hear Kyo saying "Ranshishoku" at the very beginning. It's also written as ランシ色 on a different setlist. 業 is "karuma".

Not from what I know, no.

MIRAGE is KISAKI's band, right? There was an event some years ago where they apparently sold DVDs with some La:Sadie's lives. I don't expect that they do it again, but if they sell something like that at the 3/31 live, please buy it for me.

There's a spoken word version of Sangeki no Yoru, some covers (INSANITY, Shinainaru DEATHMASK, etc.), an unnamed vocal solo and a song with literally no information. Also, Setsuna changed a lot before it became UDaL. Oh and the name is Ranshishoku, not Ai Murasakiiro^^ Perhaps they also played other songs during the lives w/o terekos, but there's no way to know that. And if you count the indies versions of all those songs as well, then there are two or more versions for each song^^

It's probably not the only song by them that you've never heard.^^' And I absolutely suck at describing music, sorry. I can't even read sheet notes. But I will try (28.10.97 ver.) : It (always) starts slow and melodic (4x dun-dun-duun...), then picks up the pace with a simple drum pattern, then about 30 seconds into it, the actual song starts and after about 70 seconds, vocals begin. Basically, the song builds up until here and then becomes slow again. After the first vocal part, it picks up the pace again, then repeats the slow part with the next vocal part, which is longer than the first one. At about 180 seconds in, it's really slow and only guitar is really playing, along with the drums. Then there's some kind of du-dun...du-dun...du-dun... (sounds like when they show sneaky steps in a cartoon, kinda), I think it's the bass? Then there's another guitar part, this time more up-beat and then there's vocals again. Kyo is singing really normal by the way, no screaming or crazy stuff, the lyrics are clear-cut into verses and if the quality was better, I could probably understand the lyrics, even. So the song is mostly a little faster, but with breaks of slower melodies in-between. There are three or four times at the end of a longer note where Kyo and the music stops for a second, only to start again. In total I would probably call it a ballad, but then again, I really have no clue about music. Oh and the longest versions are actually only 8 to 9 minutes long, it's just the whole file that's longer because my contact left in the part between songs (fangirls, MCs etc).

I actually gotta correct myself. They played 新曲2 (Re:birth) at least on five occassions: 08.08.97 28.10.97 30.10.97 05.05.98 03.08.98 No idea why my contact randomly told me that they played it five times, as if it was new information. He had even sent me the five terekos months earlier. But then again, his own setlist file has it wrong... ^^'

Yes, the DEG wiki is my work. The concept titles can be found on various pictures and back in the day on their OHP blog, I think.. This one, for example. Edit: Yes, that one xD

http://direngrey.wikia.com/wiki/Re%3Abirth *snip* The song is between 6 and 14 minutes long, by the way.

We can trade, if you have any terekos I don't have. :] Why would I ruin my reputation for a troll, though? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who has DEG terekos, so maybe others can confirm my words? The song was known as 新曲2 on setlists, my plug said that Re:birth was used once in an interview, but I wasn't able to confirm it so far. According to someone from batsu, it was a fake title, though.

Re:birth is a song.

Yeah, it has become quiet... my plug randomly messaged me after two months, only to tell me that they played Re:birth not four, but five times. Now he's quiet again and I don't even know when they played it the fifth time. Meh.

I like sea of retards the most, tbh.

"Uroboros" is a transcription of ウロボロス, which in turn is the Japanese writing of οὐροβόρος (based on its pronounciation). "Ouroboros" would be the direct transcription of the Greek word.

"Arche" is English, the Greek word is "Arkhē". So they used the English word, but the Greek pronounciation (arkhē is pronouncedアルケー in Japanese).

ARCHE is "Aruke~". GAUZE is "Ga~ze". MACABRE is "Makabura". But since they're all English loan words, you can just pronounce them like you would in proper English.

It's absolutely not hard to know the pronounciation of the titles if you know Japanese, tbh^^ ARCHE is アルケー. GAUZE is ガーゼ. MACABRE is マカブラ. :]

Finally got these from customs. The next one is on its way already:

I mean Deity is definitley Russian, according to the lyrics^^

Protip: Anyone can write a book, too. I don't know if you think wikipedia is some kinda lawless wasteland, but it's certainly not. Also, we never spoke about why DEG chose that title, stop moving the goal post please.

Yes, I have the same problem with the android tags. For some reason, DEG's AMON isn't in DEG's list on my smartphone, for example.
