There should be a tribute to DEG album at this point. They have been around for a long time now. I really enjoyed the cover songs that was done on those Crush! 90s V-Rock albums. Merry, Mejibray, and R-Shitei did something on DEG songs.
They need to do it some times, maybe in their 25th anniv or something.
 
Also, hope they would release some kind of boxset for Gauze this year, since it will be 20th anniv of the album release.

Honey, he still had sex with you even when he knew you're drunk? And y'all not even official, on top of that? Red flag. He is not a good man. Let him go. And call the police.
 
Like, even after married, people still need to ask for their spouse's consent to have sex. Let alone someone who's on dating phase, and always seems so ambigious about his feeling for you. He might just taking advantage of you. 

22 years ago, on January 24, 1997, DIR EN GREY played their first ever show at Nagano J.
Kyo, Kaoru, Die and Shinya arrived the day before and met Toshiya in a parking lot.
They stayed at Toshiya's parents' house over night and on the next day, they booked two hours in a studio to rehearse.
In the evening, there was an event and the future members of DIR EN GREY performed on stage together for the first time.
Since they had not thought of a band name, they called themselves DEATHMASK and played around four Kuroyume cover songs.
Toshiya also performed with D+L as their support guitarist on that evening.
So since it's already the 24th in Japan, today marks 22 years since the true beginning of DIR EN GREY! 😊

Dunno, I found it in a random video with gosan guys lol

Ya. But you can do the trick I use: make a dupe account using secondary e-mail,  with fake Japanese name, house address and Japanese bank info,  (you can google this stuff, there are website prividing that for free), and it is IMPORTANT to do all these on incognito!
 
Then with your main account, send   Amazon JP e-gift card to the dupe and voila, profits! 👌
 

cocklobin, man! It might be cute to say it while in Japan. Even publicly. But not so much when you're in English speaking country. For the sheer misunderstamding it might cause. "Hey, what are you listening to?", "cocklobin, man!", "heyyy! there's minor here!"  😂😂😂

I am not surprised at the victim blaming. This is really sad reality in Japan. They also do the same to people who struggle with depression. Very frowned upon. They'd take them as an outcast or as if they are people with dangerous disease.
I guess it is back again to Japanese's  way of life and the social caste stuffs. There were these saying in Japanese that said, "出る釘は打たれる" (nails that sticks out will be hammered down) , and でるくいがうたれる (don't rock the boat), which both are pretty much have the same intention, and that is what happen here.

Hearing issues are common with musicians since they play loud music live for over and over again. 
Honestly, I attended a metal/rock show one time and I got to stood on the front row and exposed to these high frequency noises and I did get temporary deafness for a day after that. Imagine getting that but almost daily. 

What a great idea, I never thought of that..

Their competition must be a band called Mr.Muscle

They're different, I guess. Aside from music that are very listenable to Western standards, it was their visuals. I suppose not many front man on VK bands who would vomit that kyo did on stage when they started out. Most bands were still embracing the 80s VK imagery popularized by X-Japan, Luna Sea and co., even DEG did it too, but they also did a little bit more too. And among others, DEG grotesque visual were stand out, this, combined with their rascal attitude back then really sold it to lots of VK listeners from abroad to get into them. I mean, people love bad boys as much they love bad girls. And these people does the work on doing mouth to mouth promo to their other friends. And it goes on and on. 
 
These days, it is a breeze for the band, I believe they got quite a street cred after Mike Portnoy praised UROBOROS to high heavens. Like, that is rare for any Asian bands, fam!

I own many of these releases physically. So these are close to heart. Even "music" album which I had difficulty to enjoy when it was initially released. I appreciate much more now. However, I personally will leave out sadie from this list.

it's a look from 2014, he's turned into a way poorer version of himself since and that's about it

I just realized he is turning into way poorer version of Yoshiki by the looks.

I swear if queens who coasts  until near the end before winning the maxi once or twice and suddenly became the winner again, like Tracy last time, I will have to talk with VH1 manager.
