i expected something like this lmao

You who were at the US shows, did you notice any cameras recording it? There was at least 1 camera recording each show in the EU, and in the one I attended, during the last song (Utafumi) there was a guy at the back of the stage with a camera. I'm not sure if he was just taking pictures or recording though. Die did point to him when he left the stage. I'm asking because if there were, I think it's pretty likely that there's going to be a DVD of the tour since they used the same name for Japan -> US -> EU.

I use Spotify, if the songs aren't available there I just download them and put them on Spotify. Really convenient that way. If I like an album/band enough I'll buy a physical copy.

Definitely read Chainsaw Man, it's really, really good. The best Jump series in a loooong time. If you end up liking it I recommend Fire Punch, it's by the same author. The name and pitch might make it seem like a bog-standard shonen but... well, you'll just have to read it lmao

I have yet to see real, proper explanation for it, so from my understanding the Diru vs GazettE shitflinging doesn't really have a real cause, it's just the two arguably biggest vkei bands having the biggest fanbases, which regardless of medium always has it's fair share of negative sides, in this case hating on the other side just because. Though maybe there was a real cause for it in the beginning, maybe it was just a joke that went too far.

Oh true, didn't know that. Though even if they do end up having one there's a high chance Diru won't attend haha

I think the first half is okay, a bit boring and monotonous, but starting from 2:23 I really like it. First the vocals are normal, same as the track so far but with the instruments having an anticipatory tone, then suddenly it evolves into low growling immediately followed with the high notes giving it really nice contrast. Definitely the best of the album. I'd love to see them perform this live but that's probably never going to happen.

This is great ASMR lol

I think the black tee with the shot from the World of Mercy PV looks great though... Were the CDs 15€ for you too? I got the DSS DE too but I definitely would have gotten Arche if it was there... (why the hell is it 30€ upwards everywhere?!) The hoodie itself is very soft and feels really good, but the print parts are kinda worrying me as mentioned above, they kind of "stick out" from the hoodie itself. I think the print on the back will be fine since it's pretty solid but I'm expecting the print on the front and on the sleeves to deteriorate in time. As for sizing, I'm really thin so I got it in size M which fits pretty much perfectly but I wish I got it at as an L, I like it when hoodies are a bit oversized.

I'm not entirely sure but it's safe to assume so, I got the DSS Deluxe Edition and it's the EU edition. Also I think the main merch supplier is Ganshin Records which is from Germany.

There were no vinyls being sold at the Helsinki show at least, but they sold every album from WTD to TIW (but no Arche) as a CD. There also were Deluxe Editions of DSS. Every album was 15€. It's been on EU Spotify for ages and just recently got released on US Spotify

I'm not 100% sure but I think I remember them saying that they don't like it, could've been an old comment though so not sure on their stance on it now. Regardless I think it's a bit disrespectful to the band and definitely to the other fans to film the WHOLE gig. Can you imagine the guy next to you just standing there, looking at their phone for the entire duration? Must be annoying, if not "immersion breaking". I guess it's not as bad as someone scrolling through Instagram on full brightness in the middle of a song, though. And yeah I saw that video too, the venue was so small 😅

Igor over here filming the whole fucking show? lmao Didn't GazettE get mad that someone filmed the whole gig and afterwards prohibited filming?

Out on Spotify for me at least.

Pretty good, 8/10 Hopefully the album has a few heavier songs, I miss the growls. Also Sho looks really good lol, hopefully he makes an instagram account or something haha

Sho channeling Kyo? lol Also surprised they're in just hoodies and jeans with no makeup

That clapping is really annoying to me for some reason. Doesn't fit the mood at all? Also cheering while the dude is ripping out his guts.

-What the hell were they thinking!? Award Don't know if they count, but 8P-SB. Everything by them. -Best Single/Maxi-Single/EP The World of Mercy from Dir en grey and Rijin from DIMLIM. That's all for me lol, wasn't really in the scene this year.

Looks good, thank god the hoodie isn't a zip-up, I hate those

Anyone got a good picture of the merch?
