If you've followed bondS France on facebook, you might have seen their song competitions, meaning that people could vote which song they liked best. Unfortunately, I cannot insert a poll here (or at least I wouldn't know how to do it), but I think it would be fun to post two songs and let them compete against each other. You can just post your personal winner (and maybe even explain why?) I'll just start: Ese uranai - Hisokyo

Would you send me a link? 😊

Ah yes. Germany is usually very expensive, but I guess there is not much difference to France, so thanks for your insight

Mhhh...I paid 40 euros for dir e grey, so I was suprised the gazette would charge such a price. I also didn't go see versailles because their tickets were 50 euros, and I thought that was a bit too expensive. So I'm not sure if I'm going to see the gazette for 60 euros, but I guess they'll be sold out anyways.

Is it true that the German concert tickets for their last tour were around 60 euros? Does anyone have information on that?

What DVD do you mean?

I would be interested in the DVD! I'm going to send you a PN

Anyone else planning on attending the show in Weinheim? I'm not sure yet if I'm going, since Weinheim is the middle of nowhere, but I really want to 😅

I figured sth out! I hope more people get involved though. I appreciate Bonds France for putting all of those tweets together Just listening to AnCafes Best album...I can't get over the English version of smile ichiban ii onna...wtf, I can barely make out the words 😂

Already looking forward to the show in Cologne Tickets are not on sale yet, hope they are not too expensive.

I only got the information from AnCafe web Germany I already heard about the project for I follow Bonds France o facebook, but since I don't have twitter, I think it's not possible to send a post?

Just noticed this release now. I'm a bit sad that it's now too late, but I was way too busy in October and November, so I missed it Fortunately, it's still not too late to order their last dvd

Ancafe are going to release a 2 dvds (miku’s birthday and their last live) with a personalised card with your name on it and an autograph by your favourite member. Ancafe web Germany is also taking order until the 14th of March (I think). I think I’m going to take teruki’s autograph because I like him a lot. Boy used to be my favourite, but since he was gone, I never really thought about who is my favourite. But teruki is awesome, so why not

I agree with the yoshiki thing. Just talked to a friend about that. Let's just hope he won't film some documentary called I am Dir en Grey which is actually not about his band but just about him, and has no value whatsoever.

Shinya or Die agreeing to going bald? Not in a hundred years, people 😂 Kyo might though. I can totally see that happening. Talking about the band members’ progressing age: how many years do you think they will stay together as a band? Any assumptions?

Whenever I see pictures of Kaoru these days I cannot help but think that he has some type of midlife crisis 😂 I much prefer him with brown hair. His blue hair is okay, his blonde hair was....let’s not talk about his blonde hair 😂

Nope. was that you? @filth_y Did kaoru do that thing again where he puts his two fists in the air? I did not see much of him, but i remember him doing that in the past. And I agree, we should all leave Die alone. He just wants to be fabulous, ok? ;D

Oh no, i was talking about the queue outside (which did not exist at half past 7 anymore). I was there at around six. I also queued for the toilet, the wardrobe and the merch booth, so there were already lots of people standing there. So we also made our way through some people to find a good spot, but it was so crowded already that we did not want to move in further to annoy people (I'm also used to concerts where things are different, but I wasn't sure about the way diru fans would take that.) But I was actually quite satisfied with where I was because I had sooo much space. I could jump around and headbang, it was super fun! About Die: I also find it crinchy af, but for me, that's the fun of it (or maybe I'm just too magnetised by his wavy hair, who knows lol).

Me too! Was never a big Toshiya fan, but he left an impression on me. I find Die's "poser" act pretty hilarious tbh (probably not what he was going for), and I never want it to stop It's super funny that you two were standing so close to each other! I was standing way more in the back for once, but that was okay. I arrived quite late (because deutsche bahn), and the queue was already waaaaay too long. But I met some super nice people that I ended up spending the concert with, so I'm actually glad I was so late haha.

You're only saying that because you'e ever witnessed it. It's absolutely fabulous. But in all seriousness: that was a joke, come on. @Seelentau I was on the right (Die's Side) in front of the mixer. So I was not exactly in the back, but not close to the front either. There might be some air verding underneath the mic stands and Die just decides to go there more often to wave his hair around like all of the other members. But I can't be the only one who's noticed, he seems to be quiet proud of his hair...where the air comes from, however...will forever remain a mystery, I guess ;D How about you? Where were you in the crowd?

I agree with you! The set list was okay, beelzebub was a highlight though. I did not expect “wake”, which was a pleasant surprise! They did have some problems with shinya’s drums, but in general everything went quite smooth. The show was quite powerful, Kyos growls A+, and the visuals were great. My personal highlight: Die’s long, waving hair. (why is it that there only seems to be some air wending on his side of the stage? 😂)

I understand your problem! Even though I used to live in a good area for concerts (a huge city one hour away), it was rarely possible to go there because there were no trains running late. Also, Japanese bands mostly tend to tour in the same cities (Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne) that are not that close. So as a teenager with little money and no car, I rarely got to see any concerts. I could only attend my ancafe concert in 2009 because it was on a Saturday, and my family had relatives close on Cologne that my parents wanted to visit. So they took me (plus a friend of mine) by car. You don’t have to speak Japanese to go to a Japanese concert though! They try to communicate with the audience in English If you ever get the chance to see a visual kei band live, you should go for it! what is your favourite song?

Ah, thanks! yeah, I was wondering about that. I wanted to get my copy yesterday, and read the date and was like: what. Then I will probably give it a listen on YouTube and buy my real copy there. I have all the original copies of their cds, so I want to get the new one as well (naturally).

I still have to listen to the new songs. I was waiting for the German release, but read the date wrong. It’s actually coming out after the concert. Might download the songs on amazon and listen to them on the way to cologne.
