    Don't get me wrong guys, I'm that guy that always pre-order their fancy pancy Deluxe Limited Edition, so yeah I'm sure I can afford a digital release. It's pretty fun though they only give out the Promotion edit for Spotify, but doing the opposite for Japanese audience with "The Insulated World" where the full album was out on streaming but "Radio Edit Ver." of 5-tracks were out on iTunes Store/Amazon.

    I'm sure they re-release it as physical disc within 6 months, or at least Okami Records do something for European territory.

    1. Cover artwork is awful

    2. LOL when I saw they mentioned full single is out on iTunes Store, Amazon and Google Play, while all streaming services only get the 1-track "Promotion Edit Ver." How lame isn't that? Now that Spotify opened in 13 new territories I think they need to understand streaming services is the new way to listen to music.

     

    At least release the god damn single on a service that provide lossless format. But yes I will smile and buy at iTunes, you'll get my money haha

    The first thing on my mind is; why digital release? Is it because of COVID-19, they don't think people can order CD's or is it because of they didn't plan on releasing this song as a single but "the situation with cancelled tour etc" made it possible to get some cash in worldwide?

     

    I hope the format is the same as before, if they only release 1-track single it's pretty pointless really. I expect B-side and no live version thanks.

    Already mentioned here but I want it as a separate topic for discussion/updates, OK? ;) 

     

    So DIR EN GREY today announced the release of their new single 落ちた事のある空 (Ochita koto no aru sora, The sky that has fallen(?))

    on the DAY 5 of their YouTube setlist series.

     

    Single will be released digitally in "summer 2020" and more info is to come.

    Kyo published a message on his Instagram and the official DIR EN GREY Instagram about this.

    People in the chat on YouTube even asked for an encore when the livestream was over lol although it was playing the studio versions of the selected songs.

    What made the livestream special was the piano version of The World of Mercy (?) playing on repeat at the end.

    It is not The World of Mercy, it's Ranunculus

     

     

     

    Quality is crap though, this is what I could offer through my phone, but I never managed catch streamings through my Mac... If anyone have better quality, please share

    Considering that the album will be available on streaming services, I wonder which timezone they use for its release on the services...

    For me, Japan is seven hours ahead, would I still be able to listen to it online even though it's still the 25th for me, tomorrow?

    And wouldn't it be possible to somehow rip those streamed songs in some way? I don't stream music, so I have no clue how it works.

    I assume it will be out on EU time since Okami Records is the licensor of the European release digitally and physically. When it's Wednesday in EU territory it'll be available.

    The album artwork made me laugh when I saw it, but now I actually think it's impressive and for the first time since ever DIR EN GREY finally put colors onto an album cover. I expected something dark (or white) with something typical Dir en grey-ish a statue or something symbolising the album title, playing with the name in some way. But it is actually quite refreshing they used so many colors for this album artwork and now I expect full colors for the booklet, and the other printing for the packaging. I prefer the limited edition cover artwork more than the standard edition.

     

    I guess they soon will start teasing us with samples of some of the new songs, a 15 sec clip of Ranunculus should be revealed within the week following a longer preview clip and finally a sample of some of the songs.

    The only information I am disappointed of at this time regarding the album is the fact the album contain so many live recordings. I mean, couldn't they do what they did on DUM SPIRO SPERO and put a lot of remixes and other versions (early ver/demo/shot in one take) of the songs onto the bonus disc/BD-DVD?

    Live recordings are pretty boring for bonus material I think, especially when they release at least one live BD every year...

     

    The  three live performances on the bonus CD could be remixes instead, and with the fact they dedicate the full BD/DVD for live performances, I think we are pretty full of that material for this release. 

     

    Btw, have y'all preordered the album yet? I'm in a bad situation since Swedish post now scanning EVERY package coming outside EU territory and put a nice fee (at least 8€, basically VAT must be payed on every parcel) only packaging that comes from a private person are free of charge... Meaning CDJapan and YesAsia are not longer an option to buy from :(
