Bajs!!!! MEJIBRAY is the only VK-band I still listen to, sad but what to do about it?

Is it even confirmed this "ANDROGYNOS" thing is a coupling tour? I think it sounds odd to create a official site, facebook- and twitter account for a coupling tour? I think this is something else? Members of both bands join to build a new band ANDROGYNOS? I remembered when Kyo announced the sukekiyo project... It was all mysterious at the beginning. As long as DIR EN GREY is not disbanding I'm all set for this stuff, I'm so curious!

Tracklist is revealed: 1.MALIGNITION 2.VREDE 3.LAVENDER 4.the blinding conviction 5.DECADENT ADVENT 6.ALWAYS DIE YOUNG 7.BOILING POINT

Btw, Okami Records will release the "Utafumi" single in Europe on July 27, digitally on downloading/streaming services such as iTunes Store, Spotify etc. They will release the main song only, in a "radio edit" (presumably the same edit as the music clip on YouTube)

"Utafumi" has grown so much on me the past few days. When I heard the radio rip, I liked the chorus directly but I didn't get the fact that the song actually was going to be that heavy. When the 30 sec teaser appeared on their official YouTube-channel, I kinda understood the song. And now... when they released the Promotion Edit, I'm so excited for this! The song is not really that heavy anymore, the radio rip actually fooled me. I need July 27 now, so I can hear the full song (will probably be 10-15 sec longer than the Promotion Edit?) but anyway I want the CD and the Blu-ray now! The new version of "Kukoku no kyouon" will probably only be the live appearance with SUGIZO from the LUNATIC FEST. but in a studio version. Actually, I thought SUGIZO destroyed the song completely, why did he even guest the song in the first place?

The radio rip made me disappointed. But the Music Video 30 sec clip made me excited again!

What is happening, why SPEED DISK now. They were so good in major label hands... Tokuma license has ended

Well, of course a "best of"-album could be a indicator of the band are about to close down, since "the best of the band" has been selected onto a compilation album = there will not be any more songs. But yeah this could simply just mean they are about to release the 3rd part of "DECADE" since the last one were including songs from 2007. Next CD may feature 2008-2016, or there will be two parts again DECADE 2008-2011 and DECADE 2012-2016?

Special site has been opened with their discography listed. I guess fans are invited (Japanese citizens obviously) to vote for songs to be included on the best album. I more prefer a completely new BEST OF album, other than a third compilation album from "DECADE XXXX-XXXX" series. I guess this one will be an -all time- best of album. I hope this does not mean they are about to disband. http://direngrey.co.jp/special/bestalbum/

PSC is not a label but a management agency. There is a difference. Anyway, they should indeed be managed completely by Tokuma Communications. Counting the days until the GazettE is leaving too.

My theory is that by judging from the tour name "TOUR16-17" it will be a long tour that will continuing on to next year as well. Maybe they continuing with the other albums in 2017? TMOAB, Wtd., MACABRE, UROBOROS. But I personally think they should skip DDS and UROBOROS for now..

Yeah, I think this would be a relevant promo pic for the VULGAR part of the new tour. He pretty much went back to the "OBSCURE"-outfit

They announced several news for 2016 on ARCHE day 2, see more here https://www.monochrome-heaven.com/index.php/topic/40248-dir-en-grey-new-single-new-live-dvdbd-new-domestic-tour/

So if I understand this correctly, Alice Nine is renamed A9 due to the departure from PS COMPANY and Universal Music Japan, owning the license to the name? But the band never disbanded, just continuing on with a revised band name?

Swedish visual rock band BatAAr revealed today the arrival of new Vo.ENDIGO (ex.Overworld) on their social media channels, with a welcoming video on YouTube. A new remake single "REBIRTH" is released digitally on 2016.1.14 and a 2nd single "ALWAYS DIE YOUNG" is released in spring 2016. Track list REBIRTH: 1. THE DISTANCE (REBIRTH Ver.) 2. RISKBREAKER (REBIRTH Ver.) BatAAr lost their Ba.Jake and Vo.Seb months ago and with arrival of new Vo.ENDIGO the band continuing as four member band. BatAAr released the 1st music video DVD "VICIOUS AURORA" on 2015.12.23 in Japan territory in cooperation with FWD Inc. (agency home for band such as DIR EN GREY, MERRY, BAROQUE)

MiA is the coolest guitarist in visual kei today. Why you bashing on him?

This preview actually got me very interested. I really hope JENZiiH is the composer of all three songs. I honestly don't think YOHIO have what it takes to compose these kind of songs. But if it turns out that YOHIO actually is the composer, I'll gladly taking off my hat for him. Btw YOHIO seriously, stop releasing Christmas albums and geeking around in musicals and singing bad Swedish cover songs for late artists. This is what you should focus on, money is fun I know, but do you want to be remembered as the runner up from Melodifestivalen that during aftermath only focused on milking money from young Swedish kids and singing in shopping malls just to receive a montly income? Nah, you should focus on visual kei with your band mates in DISREIGN in the Japanese market.

I couldn't even manage to listen through this short preview.

Basically, a 8 cm CD is where the disc size is 8 cm instead of (today) standard 12 cm sized disc. 8cm CD to the left, 12 cm (standard size) CD to the right -------------- Fun news, but I guess they want fans to collect all 3 of them since each live has a different cover artwork?

I heard "Filth in the beauty" rised up like a phoenix Sorry but too bad YOHIO is their vocalist, since I know DISREIGN is originally JENZiiH's project. But if they're going to make it in Japan, they need a vocalist with real Japanese lyrics and YOHIO is suitable for that.

I agree with YOSHIKI, because I don't think that people who doesn't even compose their own music shouldn't be in charge of "their" music! Seriously. If there should be anyone in charge of streaming services, its their composers and their publisher companies. Creating music includes many people. Everyone should get their salary and I think composers and producers should continue to have the main profit. Long live Spotify because they're doing everything correctly. Greedy artist such as T.Swift can go somewhere else. Sorry for off topic but I thought this was relevant!

Sorry DIR EN GREY; will not purchase this one!

Sorry for writing in old thread but I wonder regarding album "Heart" tracklist: Track 7 抱きしめられながら is romanized as "Dakishimerarenagara" but where should the actual spaces be in this title? It can't be "Dakishimerarenagara" right? I've tried splitting the title in different parts but nothing seems to be right, PLEASE HELP!
