Don't diss Decayed Crow, it's their best song

Gross. 

Yeah, Shinya is too br00tal for his own good!
 
 
 

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.

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^^

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.

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).

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

The song is between 6 and 14 minutes long, by the way.

I had heard a different explanation for the meaning of [KR]cube, but I cannot find the page now. Basically, Kyo wanted to originally name the track "crazy crazy crazy" and the other band members (I think Kaoru) was like "no", so then he changed it to [KR]cube.  If I can find it again, I will post it here, but it's been a few years so no promises. It didn't seem to make much sense to me, and the "kururi" explanation is also a good one too.
 
Also, is Re:birth an old song or a new song? Title looks too visual kei to me monkaS

I SAID NO

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

While ensuring all sources are 100% correct is admirable, this is not a library nor an academic institution. It's an online forum to hang out and enjoy.
 
Kyo has been known to reference Asian mythology and frequently uses language in bizarre and creative ways. He doesn't need to be a "scholar" to do a ton of research of his own on subjects that interest him. Tbh, this may be as simple as using a word/concept that struck a chord with him and/or was in some way relevant to MACABRE.
 
If Rasetsukoku is some kind of allusion to Russia, that song may be book-ending the album in some way (even though it's not the final track). Deity is sung (supposedly) in Russian, and the melody is taken from Johannes Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5.
 
Seems straightforward enough to me.
 
What this has to do with the rest of the album is anyone's guess.

Yes, the South-Korean version is remastered, from what I know.
There's also an unmastered version, but I wasn't able to win the auction to buy it ._.
 

My music is sorted like this:
 
 
In regards to tagging, since I'm kind of an order-whore, I try to keep everything as accurately as possible. I recently removed all genre-tags from my music, I try to keep everything in its intended capitalisation (Dir en grey vs DIR EN GREY vs Dir En Grey), the releases only have the original release name - and I puke when I see the tags on last.fm, shit like "DUM SPIRO SPERO (Deluxe Edition) [CD 2]".
For VA releases, I usually only keep the relevant track (Embryo Burning, for example, in DEG's case) and put it into the correct folder.
As you can see, I also put related artists into the main-band's folder (such as Kyo's poem book CDs), but I might change that, now that I noticed it^^
For terekos, I put them in a folder named after the date and location they were recorded, but the album tag is the name of the tour/event.
 
@MamoMasquerade demo-tape, the one with the white cover. Not sure if it's the correct name, though.

Since my instagram is public anyway~ (been to the barber since, tho)
 
Well now it's not public anymore lolol

This is NOT a request thread. Any more posts that are offtopic will be hidden and you may get a warning. Stay on topic folks.

Yes, I know, doesn't make it any better. Just proves that extremism about anything is never good.

Hopefully this arrives soon~ (although I already own the upper two)
Also, on Saturday, a tape player will arrive that can digitalise those tapes. Wanna see if they sound any different

I don’t think they were televised like on the special when they were mastering Sanjou no Uta. 
 
These demos were from a radio program that I think one of the members was a guest on and played some of the unfinished tracks. 
 
Ill see if I can find them later this weekend when I’m not at work.
