Laughing at the idea of Dir en grey being the only band able to do something musically.

But I actually like the sample for DIFFERENT SENSE a lot. It does seem like the same style as Hageshisa, but based on the sample I think I'll like it better.

Other bands covers being shitty doesn't make this one any better.

Tracklist seems interesting enough though. Am curious about a few songs.

And the whole "Can you even imagine what our other songs are like?" sounds retarded. Why? Because there's nothing hard-listening about the two songs and the 30 second preview, which means the rest can be catchy pop songs. Retarded statement is retarded.

Kaoru, saying something retarded?

Well I've never.

Wow. 'the strongest and maddest record resonating across the globe' 'uncategorized' 'only artist that can surpass themselves'?

I know band descriptions are generally terrible and wanky, but this is even worse than usual. It's so bad I kind of like Dir en grey less now.

Don't think they wrote it themselves. But yes, reading that made me facepalm so hard it hurt a little.

Oh I'd like for Dir en grey to drone.

They obviously did not write it.

it was made for the lulz actually

Yeah I kind of figured. I just laugh every time someone seriously thinks Dir en grey is grindcore/deathcore/etc, haha.

you don't like hageshisa 'cuz it's nonsense death-grind-core-ish shit.

AHAHAHAHAHA.

DIR EN GREY will release their 8th studio album “DUM SPIRO SPERO?? 2 years and 9 months after “UROBOROS?? which garnered overwhelming support as the strongest and the maddest record resonating across the globe. In our time when heavy rock music has become diversified, the band’s deep and extensive, unique perspective is once again borderless, uncategorized.

There are 14 tracks including “Hageshisa To, Kono Mune No Naka De Karamitsuita Shakunetsu No Yami?? (featured on ‘SAW 3D’ soundtrack), “LOTUS??, “DIFFERENT SENSE?? as single-cut tracks in this album.

With the combination of world-noted engineers and the individuality of a Japanese born and bred band. After all, DIR EN GREY is the only artist that can surpass themselves.

I don't like the album title. It doesn't fit with any theme Dir en grey has ever had, imo.

I'm excited, because I ended up loving UROBOROS, but the two singles released thus far have been pretty meh. I'm still hopeful, but I kind of expect to be let down.

Hm, let's see. I'll start off with saying April I didn't listen to almost anything new, so mostly I'm still stuck in March. But there haven't been a ton things I really loved. There haven't been any Japanese albums yet this year that have really impressed me. Closest would be Aube or Yamaan. Overall though there haven't been many albums at all yet this year that have. It's been a pretty weak year, especially compared to one of the best years in music I can remember, 2010.

So far

Jessica Pavone - Army of Strangers

White Suns - Waking in the Reservoir

EMA - Past Life of Martyred Saints

Josh T. Pearson - Last of the Country Gentlemen

Mountain Man - Grief

Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes

were probably the only albums I really dug.

I've been to a lot of different concerts, but I've only ever had one bad experience. I went to AnimeNEXT to see RENTRER EN SOI. I bought a copy of I hate myself and want to... to get the pass to get an autograph. I didn't have time to take it back to the hotel room, so I just brought it with me to the concert, and someone stole it during the show.

I wasn't too upset, since I already owned it. But they were only supposed to sign the CDs and nothing else. So I talked to the group doing it and they contacted the band's management and approved me getting something else signed. So, it worked out in the end and all I lost was a CD I already had.

New favorite band.

i was talking about you on fb with some peoples to refresh my mind and now i clearly remember who you were. Though idk if it's the same person or just the same username.

Welcome back.

I hope no one stole my username. =[

I would be sad if they did.

[it probably was me. As far as I know I'm the only Marupinku around.]

Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All x Fin

My PSN is Marupinku.

omgitsu

'ello, I'm Marupinku. I used to post on TW a few years back and then I left.

And now I'm back. I'm 20, live in the US, like music and books and other random nerd shit like video games.

As far as VK/Japanese bands I like, ガ??ーシャ, RENTRER EN SOI, Dir en grey, cuol, the futures, Basket of Death, イツロウ, 戸??純, 浅??マキ, ??野敬二, ave;new.

Really I'm into whatever, but those are some of my favorites.

This is awesome, thanks.
