ARCHE European Edition has been postponed (is still in the making) due to printing difficultiues in Japan. Release date is now unknown but Okami Records hope to release it as soon as possible! European Edition will have special packaging, 2 CD and English lyrics booklet.

VITIUM will be released in Europe, however release date and other details has not been revealed/decided yet. Release company is Okami Records.

Kyos appearing on the Limited Edition cover makes me draw parallells to RENTRER EN SOI, where Satsuki always appeard alone on cover artworks. I dont like when bands do that. I mean, they are a band not a solo artist project.

ダウト (D=OUT) Vo. will release new maxi single "アイラブ東京" (I Love Tokyo) on 2015-02-18 in three types 初回限定盤Ａ (CD+DVD) TKCA-74184 ＜CD＞ 1. アイラブ東京 (I Love Tokyo) 2. 雪國 (Yukiguni) 3. もしかして (Moshikashite) ＜DVD＞ 「アイラブ東京」 (I Love Tokyo) MV + MV Making 初回限定盤Ｂ (CD+DVD) TKCA-74185 ＜CD＞ 1. アイラブ東京 (I Love Tokyo) 2. 雪國 (Yukiguni) 3. もしかして (Moshikashite) ＜DVD＞ 「雪國」 (Yukiguni) MV + MV Making 通常盤 (CD) TKCA-74189 ＜CD＞ 1. アイラブ東京 (I Love Tokyo) 2. 雪國 (Yukiguni) 3. もしかして (Moshikashite) 4. 三都物語 (Santo monogatari)

Yes, there is still a possibility on that, but according to their official homepage, both new tracks on CD2 are instrumental tracks. I find hard to see a instrumental track by DIR EN GREY being +6 minutes

Oh! I thought it was released this week! Sorry! ;D

Have they used a time machine to 2003?

I assume the European Edition will get that other cover artwork since it will be a 2CD edition just like the Japanese one?

I'm waiting for them to "correct" the capitalization on the English/Latin song titles... When I saw the tracklist for the first time I was like "Huh? First album in ages that doesn't wear CAPS LOCK?" However, I don't think they will release both a 'standard edition' and '2CD special edition' in Europe. If you read the news posted on Okami Records Facebook-page, they say European Edition will be released simultaneously with Japan, and it will be a 2CD version + a digital version. I will definitely buy it, and I really hope for digipak and a 1st press bonus item like the autograph card that was added randomly into the DUM SPIRO SPERO Deluxe Edition (Yeah, I got one of those!)

They're releasing its last single due to the "last live" concert "Seremedy one night reunion [re:MADNESS]-LAST LIVE" in Stockholm on September 20. The last live is sold out since long time ago, they switched venue to Arenan and some tickets are available.

I'm reliefed that they didn't do a 12000-yen edition for this album. The custom fee and shipping fee I got for those editions of UROBOROS and DSS were so expensive! Happy they finally included Blu-ray into their Limited Edition! I will definitely go for their 9000-yen Blu-spec+CD+BD edition!

More info about new album "ARCHE" was revealed today along with new promotion picture: New album will be avaliable in following editions: Deluxe Limited Edition: Blu-spec CD + CD + Blu-ray (9000yen) (incl. special packaging) Deluxe Limited Edition: Blu-spec CD + CD + DVD (8000yen) (incl. special packaging) Limited Edition: 2CD (3400yen) Regular Edition: CD-only (3000yen) Read more about the Blu-spec CD format here: http://www.blu-speccd2.jp/

Patrik from BatAAr, right?

No, because PS COMPANY is only their management office. If you don't know the difference, google it They've been in Universal Music hands since a while now, this will make no difference in either popularity or their sound. It's about time Universal Music is responsible for their management as well!

I think this actually is the rearranged version of "ZAN" that was released as the B-side on "Hageshisa to..."-single The "Geki Yami ver." should in fact just translate to "Hageshisa to Ver." although the one who wrote this setlist probably wrote the titles fully in Kanji..

People are crazy for this tour because it's connecting previously and present DIR EN GREY-fans together. People who have liked DIR EN GREY once in the past is now getting excited to hear their favorite songs. Just look at ticket sale when X JAPAN and LUNA SEA first comeback a couple of years ago, same story going on with this tour

Announcements for the new album will definitely be revealed during this tour.

Yeah it will probably be a total of 11 or 12 songs, with intro and outro included...

"Heart" is now visible on KAMIJO's artist page at Warner Music Japan official site, see Heart（初回限定盤）CD+DVD WPZL-30917/8 http://wmg.jp/artist/kamijo/WPZL000030917.html Heart（通常盤）CD-only WPCL-11964 http://wmg.jp/artist/kamijo/WPCL000011964.html

I thought Moi dix Mois disbanded long time ago?

It's a management company, like PS COMPANY and sun-krad if that helps (not a record company or label)

I haven't been so up-to-date with this release. I ordered the Limited Edition, but does anyone know if there will be any bonus items for this release? I poster would be nice...especially a B3 sized Limited Edition cover with Kyo in the water.

Taken from ダウト official Facebook: Important announcement about music activities of D=OUT's Minase We have an important announcement to all fans supporting D=OUT. Minase (drummer) is going to graduate from the band due to personal reasons. We are sorry for causing worries and trouble to whom it may concern due to　a sudden announcement. We are deeply grateful for everyone who has supported the activities of the 5 members of D=OUT up until now. From now on, the four members, Kouki, Ibuki, Hikaru, and Reika will continue in the band, so we hope you will continue supporting their activities. March 22, 2014 D=OUT PS COMPANY Co., Ltd. CEO Ozaki Tomomi ------------------------------------------------------ To everyone who loves D=OUT Thanks to everyone's support, we have been able to continue our activities with full force for 7 years ever since we were formed in 2007. There is something we need to tell you today. It has became difficult for our drummer Minase to continue musical activities due to family reasons. All the members and the staff searched for a solution to the problem with utmost effort: a solution for Minase to stay. However, we have decided to respect his will and sense of duty as son and heir. He is going to take over family business and graduate from D=OUT, and his musical activities. We know it’s a sudden happening and a bad news for you all, but we will continue our activities as D=OUT with the 5 of us with full power as long as it is possible for Minase to continue his activities. There is only a limited time left, but let's all become one and show the spirit of D=OUT. We will do our very best so that there will be no regrets. We hope you will keep on supporting us. D=OUT Kouki, Ibuki, Hikaru, Reika ------------------------------------------------------ To whom it may concern I am going to graduate from D=OUT. This is due to family matters. I have been the member of D=OUT since the band started in 2007, and during these 7 years I have spent time worth more than just 7 years. This is all thanks to the members, the staff, people I’ve met through the activities, and the fans. We had our 7th anniversary and were going towards our 8th one, everyone looking forward to it wondering what kind of D=OUT we would be showing you this time - however, we had to do an announcement like this and as the result we caused everyone to feel bad, and I'm very sorry about this. I discussed about this with the members and the staff, and they did various things for me, trying to search for a way for me to stay. D=OUT is a very important place for me. But I chose to protect my family in a place that is also important and irreplaceable to me. Therefore, I will end my musical activities by leaving D=OUT. Looking back on my activities in the band, I have experienced many valuable things. Things I couldn't have experienced, things I couldn't have felt, sceneries I couldn't have seen anywhere else, It's all thanks to you all, the members, the staff, the people involved, and especially the fans. Thank you very much. I will continue to love D=OUT even after I graduate, and I will leave the things I did and the sceneries I wanted to see in D=OUT, and continue supporting Kouki, Ibuki, Hikaru and Reika, who will keep going on in this music scene, together with all of you fans. I will keep doing my best with all my force as D=OUT's Minase for the time I have left, so that I will have no regrets. I will give my everything and do my best for that time to make everyone think that "D=OUT is a great band", "D=OUT's lives are the best". D=OUT Minase
