Which legitimately no one said. I don’t know why The Inferno, or new Dir en grey material in general, triggers you as much as it does. 
 
It literally set you off into being a passive aggressive asshole out of nowhere when I commented on how much I enjoy the song. 
 
I get it, you’re upset I corrected you in our conversation a few days ago and this was your chance to get back at me, but please try to act less petty, ESPECIALLY when you evidently don’t know a single thing about music and the only term you remotely know is “motif” to make up for your lack of musical vocabulary.

Now we’re at the crux of the issue. Not only are you musically ignorant, you also don’t like the direction the band has gone (*cough* metal *cough*). 
 
Which is fine, you don’t have to like the direction Dir en grey has gone musically; but when you make arguments out of ignorance to inflate the importance of your half-baked opinion, it warrants correction. 
 
Just keep that in mind. Also, please keep your silly American politics out of this thread, thanks. 

Don’t forget! They also both contain musical notes! Fuckin self-plagiarists!!!

Who said Dir en grey's musical style being predominantly metal was "carved in stone"? I get the point you're trying to make; but let's stop pretending Dir en grey are not a 'metal' band when over 80% of their catalog is classified as 'metal'.
 
Ah yes, the "true metal" argument. This is one of those arguments people slap around when they evidently know very little of the style of music being discussed (see: your comments on "Djent"). It's an abstract non-argument where you're not actually saying anything despite the fact you're stringing sentences together. Please, define for us "true metal" and how that is distinguished from a band like Dir en grey who are apparently not "true metal".
 
I don't recall ever specifically defining Dir en grey as "progressive metal", whom are you quoting?
 
No offense; but it's difficult to discuss music with people who are unable to distinguish between guitars chugging in C# (Gaika) and an A minor/diminished half-step riff (you, know, a staple within the 'extreme metal' style) built on two guitar harmonies outlining a i-v (A, E) chord progression and a tri-tone. Not only are they different harmonically, they're entirely different in how they're introduced in the song.
 
Saying Dir en grey "aped" the outro to Gaika demonstrates clear ignorance of music and musical form.

Two outros that are at a slower tempo than the rest of the song, and they both come after a break in the music. That’s... where the similarities end, really.  And what does it matter? 

batsu actually links to an ebay store these days
interestingly, shortly after I discovered it and contacted one of the more frequent users... hmm

Fukkatsu was a forum started by Dir en grey fans because Batsu, another forum, was dying. 
 
The community (most of which were friends) migrated over to the free board fukkatsu, and it eventually died because people lost interest. 
 
I am still close friends with one of the two admins and they’ve completely abandoned the site. 
 
At the end of its life the forum started getting bombarded with adds, and everyone was too lazy to invest time into it, so it disappeared into the abyss. 

I loved DOGMA. # idgaf 

So is MH gonna play the "I hope the GazettE blows us away with an album thats entirely new" game again and then get mad/disappointed when its not?
 
:V

Wouldn't it be interesting if Aoi and Uruha started using 7strings in the new album
 
 

And here I miss the simple days of admiring Kyo’s boner poking through his track pants...
 
We all know that non-Japanese female VK fans are the worst, so let’s implement male-only lives again! That’ll eliminate most of the problems tbh

Seriously. Look how much this thread blew up all because they re-released a bunch of shit we’ve been listening to for years already. 

Speaking of Saki, here's a fun clip of two worlds colliding. Shit tier kei and swed kei (BatAAR ft. Saki covering ASOM)
 
 

u dumb whores LEAVE japan and COME to north america its been 3 years

I’ve always been puzzled by those sentiments because if you’re a band that writes, promotes, releases, and tours music — your entire purpose is to maximize how many people are buying your products and for how much. These guys don’t do it for free, they expect that you’ll give them money in return for whatever they’re selling and promoting. 
 
To criticize ANYTHING as being a “cash grab” in popular music just seems weird to me because that’s the whole point. 

yes bitches
who else will pay shinya to drink and kyo to die his hair and be spotted with random girls in shinjuku ? moneyz well spent
