    Interesting that you like sukekiyo's first album, but not TMOAB. I think the general opinion on here (or was it on last.fm?) is that IMMORTALIS is pretty bad, production-wise. I can't see it myself, though.

    tbh I wouldn't even be able to name most of DEG's songs xD

    Just yesterday, I listened to MISSA and I couldn't remember the name of track 2 at all :D

    And I still sometimes mix up Shinya and Toshiya ._. I'm a bad bangai (or whatever the male form of bangya is lol)

    Just wished that embryo could be re recorded exactly with the same acoustic arrangement done on the undecided re record, would be so good. And can't believe that saku wasn't chosen as one of the re recorded tracks for the best album,I like beautiful dirt,but seemed to be such an aleatory choice

    While I do like embryo (both versions), I find -saku- to be one of their worst songs, actually. It's just boring.

    I think I generally dislike that era the most, tbh. I really love their early era with UDaL, JEALOUS and MISSA/GAUZE, up until VULGAR, but Wtd. and TMOAB are their weakest releases, tbh. Wtd. still has some songs that are super nice (dead tree, Kodou), but TMOAB is a mess. Then it goes upwards again, but UROBOROS didn't age well and DSS is almost like TMOAB.

    But I like what they released in between their albums. For some reason, their singles and EPs stand out stronger than the actual albums, to me. Especially considering how they butchered the album versions of the DSS singles...

    Even then it would be completely overkill. I haven't paid 40€ for the limited version. I have never seen any release by any band for a price as high as that, tbh.

    Dir en grey's Myaku on 12 inch which I believe was a promo LP for radio stations.

     

    Oh, so you were the one who outbid me, hm?

     

    On topic, I have DEG's GAUZE, UROBOROS and a signed DSS on vinyl.

    The lyrics translations of DEG and sukekiyo are awkward to read because translating Japanese song lyrics into English is incredibly difficult.

    Kyo often leaves things open, doesn't make clear who is saying what or who the lyrics are about etc.

    So even the official translations tend to be weird, although I assume the translator can at least ask Kyo directly... if Kyo answers is a different question, ofc^^

    really don’t lend themselves to a literal interpretation. Best you can do is translate the two kanji

     

    That's what a literal translation is.^^

    I do! What kind of information do you need?

    The following (the cat numbers are different, depending on where you take them from):

    Cat.-Numbers on booklet's back, inlay back, plastic sleeve's back, on the CD itself and on the CD matrix:

    Mastering SID Code: IFPI L???

    Mould SID Code: IFPI ????

     

    I think the best would be HQ photos so I can see for myself. Maybe you can help me out here as well? :]

    Nope!  44 here. 

    Yup, that's the rerelease. There are two initial releases (I think), but I don't have a lot of info on those. I'm not even sure if they were both released in 98. ._.

    Same for MISSA - 97, 99 and 01 releases exist, but I'm not 100% sure if the 99 version is really from that year.
