Seelentau reacted to nullmoon in Dir en grey
Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure why you're getting so much slack for trying to be helpful but I appreciate your efforts anyhow

Seelentau got a reaction from emmny in Dir en grey
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.

My honest guess is that they will hold out on re-recording GARDEN until they announce disbandment, and that will be a parting gift. No proof, just a gut feeling.

"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.

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.

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 Tour18 song has Toshiya providing backing growls. Kyo mostly sings with his normal voice. Again, fast paced tempo with a slower section in the middle, Kyo growls here. Some crazy gibberish in the latter half. The chorus has this "climax" thingy to it, that Kyo does in some songs. ~3:30 long.
Ranunculus is a ballad. Very slow and melodic.

Reading this, I'm so glad that I absolutely have no ear for music lol
I'd never be able to tell if a song is good or bad in its mixing, or if the drums are flat or whatever else could be wrong with a song
