Really? If anything, that's the most common complaint I see about Dir en grey.

amber gris already saved vk yall SLEEP 

^ in ~gackt years. you need to multiply that by 1.2 to get a historically accurate number.
 
he changed his mind since 1997 when being 300 something years old was the shit, tho.

After digging around for a bit, and with the help of Linh, I've formulated a theory that they're breaking up because of money issues. Turn-A sounds like a last-ditch effort to re-record old A songs and then sell them to make some emergency cash. The low quality and poor reception of those CDs put the nail in the coffin for this band.
 
It's sad but VK is expensive and as much as I liked them they never got the push they needed to really make it.

Also Nimo, if you're lurking now would be the time to jump in. Tell us you're going to form a new band "B" or something. Anything pls.
 
EDIT: Also Linh makes another good point. They all die at the end of this music video. That supports my theory even more.




Someone bake this woman brownies. She's cracking all the mysteries today.

I have no idea why 9gbo disbanded (maybe every other member besides ryo just died creatively while being in that band), but this sounds like they took 9 goats boredom and multiplied it by every other member's irrelevance.
 
I only like first track so far, everything else sounds like a bunch of recycled stuff, derived from two equally terrible demos (the "jazzy" vk one and the "lyrical" vk cliche track)
 
 
 
oh, and the background growling gives 12012 a run for their money when it comes to being atrocious, why did it happen at all

just narrowing ur examples, you know ~~~

mia's nose is NATURAL* HDU!!!
 
*organic biodegradeable silicone compound

just narrowing ur examples, you know ~~~

I feel like, sure there's a lot of negativity but it's from people overreacting to some of the most mild comments. Even if the comment is pretty unnecessary like making fun of Mia's fake nose or bitching about Dir en grey playing Western metal. The responses from the cray crays are pretty over the top.
 
I think some of it is just due to people being pretty obsessive and unrealistic when it comes to their band worship. Any sort of criticism, even the most mild like, the kerning in the font on this album cover looks bad. Will receive responses with pretty outrageous comments because people take it as a personal attack. I think that's pretty common with VK, I'm not trying to put metal fans on a high horse (because they're pretty fucking stupid too) but it's the only fandom I interact with that I can use as a comparison. Yet a thread on say /r/metal with mild criticism like the above examples if anything would be mostly ignored but if you mildly criticize say MEJIBRAY or Dir en grey, the fans just come at you like you're some KKK dickwad Holocaust denier or Osama Bin Laden.
 
So really I don't think people are so negative, it's just a few loudmouths that will ruin a topic because they can't accept anyone saying anything but praise regarding their favourite artist or band.
 
***I kinda don't like using metal fandom as an example because comparing the two is like comparing shit to shit.

one and only


everyone else sucked, kuroyume album got postponed & zoro never released a flawless autotunefest lp that I was smw expecting throughout the year

Yes. Please. Don't.

I believe this is basically what you say about any up and coming gazette effort, but anyway
I'm keen to assume you need to read his comment once again, he's understanding everything perfectly, and if there's no innovation coming from the same members again, it means they had very little to do with it in the first place, given the amount of label puppets in vk and such.

kind of impressed that he susseeded at setting the already disastrous major ayabie bar even lower

lbr they all age horribly & only queen shinya's magical shoujo powers are standing up to the ugly traces of passing time

^ You need denkitribe. He uses a lot chiptune influence in his songs that have that videogame feel.

I suppose he meant this year's OnH interview - where Shinya sounded really, say, unmotivated.

In case no one knows, Shinya's currently doing session stuff with Yasu x Hyde crew* (ironically enough AFTER the whole DEAD END tribute thing), and this time - it's halloween-themed (no shit!)

Kinda interesting to see him go full drag again (not like I am the one to talk about looks - I mean hey, Kaoru is the one who's opposed to whole visual thing the most)
 
*the last show was done in Hiro x Ju-Ken x Yasu x Leda x Shinya -lineup
