That album might not come out, but X JAPAN is working: they're gonna play Coachella this year somewhere during the second week of the festival.
 
 

my points exactly sksksks

These songs were performed unplugged (but not released officially):
 
ザクロ (performed during TOUR07 THE MARROW OF A BONE PREMIUMLIVE)
悲劇は目蓋を下ろした優しき鬱 (performed during TOUR08 THE ROSE TRIMS AGAIN)
蟲-mushi- (performed during TOUR07 THE MARROW OF A BONE on 2007.12.25 at 新木場STUDIO COAST)
輪郭 (last part heard on disc II of 「a knot」LIMITED -2012.10.10 SHIBUYA-AX- during the "for 'a knot'" section)
304号室、白死の桜 (performed during TOUR07 THE MARROW OF A BONE on 2007.12.25 at 新木場STUDIO COAST) [I think I actually have a rip of this one at home, but I don't think it has leaked anywhere]
 
and probably more :]
 
An unplugged version of 激しさと、この胸の中で絡み付いた灼熱の闇 doesn't exist, from what I can see. But there's a symphonic version, released on disc 3 of DSS@NB.
 
And this is the list of all(?) unplugged songs released as studio recordings:
 
艶かしき安息、躊躇いに微笑み
Conceived Sorrow
The Pledge
Undecided
Agitated Screams of Maggots
我、闇とて･･･
Inconvenient Ideal
Red Soil
流転の塔
Unraveling
The Final
Different Sense
獣慾

Probably this one for Dozing Green. Not really unplugged for me tho :shrugs:
 
 

(not sorry)

cant believe they're fucking allowing an escaped convict back into their band :// 

Huge fan, but I’m absolutely fine if Mejibray reincarnates with just those two

koichi and tzk were the only talented members anyway...also why lynch. destroyed deathgaze #TalentWon

Tisk tisk tisk for shame 

not that I care with a yuuki solo project already announcedT and disbanding lesser bands,
 
but I hope hzk doesn't go back to writing same-sounding self cover albums w/o the pressure of morally corrupt drug fiend tainting their reputation!
 
gr8 news for their fans too, supposedly

so when are the tzk hitting meto photos are gonna be leaked?

Mejibray is Deadjibray 

conspiracy but possible facts alert
 
 
 

In commemoration of their indie days

I feel like a Dir en Grey tribute album should have happened around late 00's, during the peak Diru copy cat era.

I feel like Dir en grey doesn’t have any friends. 
 
Satsuki would probably be on it though. 

Too dark and sludgy for them. If it was just the backing band, maybe.
 
Something more fun like egnirys cimredopyh +) An Injection, INCREASE BLUE, or Cause of fickleness would be more up BABYMETAL's alley.

Can’t imagine that was a serious suggestion. Would be disturbingly ironic though considering the lyrics. 

BABYMETAL should to Tsumi to Batsu  (New Ver.) tbh

No, only juniors.
 
Can't wait to hear the Sakura Gakuin rendition of Reiketsu Nariseba umbrella.

I literally have no idea what bands are buddies, I was just making a joke. 
 
Would bands that are DEG’s seniors be on a tribute album?

Dir has no friends?
 
What about MERRY, THE NOVEMBERS, downy, Kannivalism, ex-Kagerou members, PIERROT, D'ERLANGER...?
 
I am pretty sure the time for that tribute comes one day. Maybe next year to commemorate their 20th major anniversary (1997 was their indies year) or maybe even later to commemorate their very first debut full-length. which most artists or their labels do for their tributes.
 
I would love to see  D'ERLANGER making JESSICA great again, Pierrot having one of their GAUZE songs converted into their own kind of pastiche, THE NOVEMBERS doing Higeki or even Downy making a Radiohead-like rendition of some DSS song... 
 
Possibilities are endless!

In commemoration of their indie days

no cover art, no box, it's just gonna be a shitty mass-produced dvd-r with the title written on it in sharpie

I sometimes called it The Banal when I wanna mess with some friend of mine. He stan for WtD too much.
