seys got a reaction from benzaiten._ in DIR EN GREY new single 落ちた事のある空 release summer 2020
It's a complete new single, it was just revealed now because of the current situation. It would've been revealed in just a few weeks ago anyways if any of the concerts weren't cancelled.
No word on if it'll have any extras but I bet that it will, I also bet that it'll get a physical release in the future.
I'm also fairly sure that it'll be included in the next album, since it supposedly will come out next year, and The World of Mercy was said to not be included in the next album.

seys reacted to Japan Music Revolution in DIMLIM
Hey guys.
I feel bad and don't want to get your hopes up, this announcement is not about shipping just yet. Japan Post is completely shut down for overseas shipping at the moment. DHL is in my experience pretty unreliable and costly for the customer; we really want to offer you the best shipping options and so many packages from other carriers such as CD Japan are being returned due to the virus. I ran some quotes through DHL and the shipping of say a couple of hoodies wanted to charge $300 for shipping.
As soon as we can ship safely we will do so, but this announcement is something to pass the time until then. Hope you will still enjoy it, it'll be posted on Dimlim as well as our Twitter at 20:00 JST. We're working with them on connecting with overseas fans in different ways and there are a few more ideas bouncing around as the guys really want to stay connected during this time.
On the plus side, they've just announced a 2-days live in Tokyo on January 9th and 10th of 2021. Thanks for the support.

seys reacted to ghostpepper in The bad bandmen of VK bands
That guy is a bit more oldschool in ways, overall top guys in kabuki are a bit different. One thing I can say is the image that the vice video and this video too give of the host industry is like a 10% view. Ive thought of doing a youtube video explaining what it is really like but kind of do not want to be mainly known for that if it blew up tbh. Now I do designs for host clubs in our group and help newer guys who come into our group so I still see it from behind the scenes everyday. Honestly lots of parallels to how vk guys do mitsu eigyou.

seys reacted to Ikna in The bad bandmen of VK bands
This discussion brings back some memories of the time the tokyo damage report about the inner workings of the VK industry was posted on the net and so many overseas fans were in total disbelief and denial. Most of us overseas fans never had been to a live in Japan and most of had no idea how the scene truly was in its home country. So it was really hard for many to stomach to hear that their beloved oh-so-perfect and "better than plastic, mass-produced 'murrican pop music" bands were just as fabricated by labels and couldn't write their own music or play their instruments.
Even then many new VK bands were just talentless hacks who wanted to get their 15 mins of fame and easy access to pussy, and that was maybe 8-10 years ago? Around that same time LUNA SEA's Sugizo and Dir en grey Kyo commented on the then contemporary scene, that the newbies are not passionate about making art and music, but only care about attracting chicks. I remember how much hate and flack they both got then, with some fans accusing Sugizo to be jealous of the young bandomen, because they were hotter and got more girls, lol. How naive we gaijins were back then. Ofc we would also believe that there are no kusomen - our fav bandomen are all perfect, because they are hawt!
It's good that the scene nowadays is more open about discussing what's going on inside and that we are not foaming at our mouths because someone "insulted" our fav bands by pointing out the obvious… like Kisaki's misdeeds. If that would have become public ten years ago I bet you there would have been at least a small army of people defending this guy. At least now most people see him for what he is.
That said, VK always rubbed along with a bit of delinquency and depravity. Since the hosts entered the scene that got even more amplified, but that transition has taken place since a whole decade. I think we reached a point where almost none of the "original" spirit is left behind. Ofc you get the occasional band that's truly concerned about doing art, but for every honest group you get 10 forgettable ,mass-produced trash ones.

seys reacted to Seelentau in DIR EN GREY announce TOUR20 疎外 (Sogai) and Two-Days "The Insulated World -The Screams of Alienation-"
Thank you to all of you who were listening those five days.
THE FINAL in the end was the last for those five days so I added it as a double encore.
We were thinking with all band members about the closing video and I thought that we should do it with something as close to the LIVE as possible.
The announcement at the end was also something we were planning to show at the end of tour SOGAI, so we made the announcement now. It is now in production.
Right now we cannot see beyond the darkness,
but I want to move forward believing in something leading us beyond the darkness.
From under this sky.
Kyo

seys reacted to Jigsaw9 in MALICE MIZER
Since Közi has been uploading quite a few acoustic MALICE MIZER cover snippets on Twitter in the past year or so, I thought it'd be fun to try to gather them here in one post. I've put the videos under individual spoiler cuts so that the page doesn't become too bogged-down/media-heavy.
claire～月の調べ～
Ju te veux
Garnet～禁断の園へ～
...okay I thought there was more, but actually the other vids are him doing ZIZ or solo tracks, heh. Still pretty cool.
btw all these songs were credited to him, so I guess he might be only playing his own MM stuff. Based on this logic, hopefully he'll do some of these in the future:
seraph
APRÉS MIDI～あるパリの午後で～
偽りのmusetté
Madrigal
COLOR ME BLOOD RED
ILLUMINATI
Brise
月下の夜想曲
鏡の舞踏 幻惑の夜
地下水脈の迷路
The more poppy/laid-back stuff would translate really well to a stripped-down acoustic arrangement, but what I really wanna see is ILLUMINATI or COLOR ME BLOOD RED, haha.
