Demivee

Strange, in my opinion the Berlin performance was so much better than the one in Dortmund. Kyo and Toshiya were on fire today! At the Dortmund show Kyo looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. But today his screams and his acting was awesome IMO. TWoM was intense!

Which setlist version did you get? The one beginning with TWoM or the one beginning with Zetsuentai?
And when did they play Gaika in the encore? First or second?

And when were they done?

The one with TWoM as the starter. Encore was Followers, Gaika, Utafumi.

But it was not exactly the setlist from St. Petersburg. E.g. they played Aka after Zetsuentai. I can not recall every song position, sorry!

concert was over after 90 minutes (21:30)

@EvilHippy yes they did!

Just a quick reminder that Gaika is a fucking beast live. 😱

Sieht man jemanden bei DEG in Dortmund und/oder Berlin?

DSS will be sold as Vinyl again - which is pretty nice. Gan-Shin also is teasing  a surprise for the latter half of the tour. Maybe a TIW Vinyl too?!

For Arche: I dunno about Spotify, but the here in Germany the album is available at Apple Music.   

"In the next episode of Dimlim no Dorama: Will Retsu finally find his true inner self? Is Sho able to handle the sudden fame after the release of MISC or will he leave the band just one week before their sold out Tokyo Dome Show? Will Hiroshi finally doing anything? Will Laptop-san finally get the stage presence he deserves?"

I would assume that the Smiley Thing will be their next PV.

I honestly wanted to like this album but the outcome made it impossible for me.
Misc is one messy beast and a really unsettling listening experience. The whole thing sounds as confusing and random as Retsu's social media slapping over the last weeks. I really don't know who they (he) want to aim with this sound.

Some of you also stated the electronic samples. Yeah, cringy is the perfect description for them. Especially the SEs are freaking annoying.
Three quarters of the album sound the same (Which isn't always something bad as CHEDOARA had a stringent structure, too) and songs like MIST or Funny World are kinda bland and forgettable. I rather not start talking about fucking Lament.. 
What's up? for me is the only highlight followed by before it's too late and Tick Tak.

This state of the band really is a waste of talent and I hope that Sho will leave this sinking ship soon and joins a banging VK combo again. He is too talented for draining in a J-Pop band.

I'm curious of how well this album will be embraced and if they will gain new fans with their new sound. But it is with a tearing eye that one of my (our) VK hopes left the arena and will definitely not come back.

The entire song is in Japanese...

Sorry, I was talking about the preview snippets from ITunes.

Nobody mentioned yet that Sho is throwing some Engrish lyrics at us? In the samples it sounds actually quite good but I‘m not sure if I like that approach if it is done for pleasing us Gaijins. 🤔

Hmm, difficult. I really dig the song as it is a logical continuation of Rijin. But I fear that the outcome of the album will be to stale and poppy. We‘ll see..

But I‘m defintely grateful that Retsu didn‘t throw some trip-emo-hop at us...

This picture of 9GBO was my mobile phone wallpaper for like 2 years. Dunno why but I love every aspect about this shot.

Interesting (part of an) interview with Kyo.
He gives some (hilarious) new insights in the neverending theme of his hate to touring abroad.

And what I found very interesting he tackles the theme of dissatisfaction and how it started with leaving his musically boundarys when he founded sukekiyo.

cant stop imagining a timeline where they actually make it abroad but end up having their equipment stolen partway through the 'tour'

Yeah they should take good care of that laptop with samples.. 🙃

„We‘ve changed.now it‘s your turn next“ - lol wtf Retsu

Dunno if it is correct to post it here but:

I have 1 ticket for Dortmund and 1 ticket for Berlin for selling.

If anyone is interested in one or both tickets please contact me.

Does anyone know if there is an online shop shipping abroad which sells this single, please ? ><

I will attend their Oneman in February. If they are selling the single at the merch-booth I may buy one for you.

Despite that one positive concert review that was posted here some time ago, I'm totally convinced ( with no proof of course ) that this is a total disaster and this is the worst album rollout strategy in visual kei history especially when you consider that the album probably isn't going to come out either. 

Ah now I see clear. Their masterplan was to step away from VK so that they can‘t be crowned for the worst rollout in VK history. 😂

lol @ the first minute being a complete Take this life - In Flames rip off.

If the whole album sounds as brutal as in the snippet it will be a banger

It's out!

But sadly this album sounds mediocore at it's best.. Maybe it clicks with me after a few spins.

Outstanding tracks for me so far: PHILIA, anagram (what a beauty!) and 宇宙の詩 〜Higher and Higher〜.

Yup, it's really a TIW-centered tour.

 

Two more dates to go. What else is missing, beside Kigan?

They already did Wake, -Saku-, THE FINAL, THE DEEPER VILENESS, Fukai, HYDRA -666- and Sustain the untruth.

 

Missing from VOS are Beautiful Dirt and THE IIID EMPIRE.

Missing from NoK is Ash.

Missing from TIW is Kigan.

 

So either of those for the last two dates.

Gaika it was. 😮
I feel so sorry for LA recieving fucking STU..

if you really think about it, kyo is always masquerede, because he hides him true feeling's when he preforms..... and wears make up

If lord Retsu would have been around 20 years ago he may have cured Kyo from his pain and showed him the ultimate way of expressing feelings on stage.

Interesting thing that they play in two different venues in Berlin. I will try to attend both of them.

I love Kowareta... to death and am really looking forward to this tour! 😍

The whole representation of DIMLIM seems so confusing at the Moment. lol

But they wouldn't have bothered to build a whole new website if they've had plans to disband in a few weeks.

I'm 100% sure that we will get this album and it will bang!
