I'm still really excited about this Pierrot/Dir en grey collab...but also nervous that it will be a wreck....
I do agree they aren't terribly focused on the west anymore, but it doesn't surprise me. During the first turn toward metal, they were hardcore about it. They got a little press but I think a great majority of Western views on them were still colored by their early days. Which I found distressing at the time...but expected.
