MUCC sort of stops existing for me after ''6''. I guess most albums relesed after that usually tend to have at least one or two good tracks on them, but as a whole I just don't feel them as much as their older stuff. I feel like there's something more raw in their older songs, the newer material just feels so polished. I guess I also simply just prefer stuff with a more negative, oppressing atmosphere than stuff like Flight or any of their other anime OP-tier tracks.  I'm not really feeling their little excursions into metalcore either. As far as their output beyond my personal favorite era goes, I'd say that Shion is probably the most consistently enjoyable album of theirs. There's only 2 or 3 songs on there that I absolutely despise.. I also have a slight weakness for Gokusai, but to be honest that one's like.. entirely driven by nostalgia, cuz it was one of the (if not THE) first Japanese albums I ever bought..
 
Personal fav. album is Homura Uta, even though it's sort of kind of too long

Those sandals ... Hazuki looks like he just stepped out to get the mail and then they asked him to record a music video.

Яyo (ex-ギルガメッシュ Dr.) has started a music label named "Wolves anchor DC" since early 2020, and he is also the producer of the label.
 
SLOTHREAT is the only band that has joined the label so far.
You can read an interview with Яyo and Katsuya (SLOTHREAT Gu.) here.

When I mean old school I mean bands from 1998 - 2007 max 
Mainly because vk bands are using the same cord progressions and have shitty lyrics

Its totally not racist guyz theyre just cosplaying the actual apostles of David 

Since we are ironically hacking @Tokage's joke thread:
 
Not sure why these guys' faces are painted black, but this song is great
 
 

It depends. If it's about pure numbers, my collection is not that big. I basically just have all regular albums and singles and then some other stuff.
But there's people who collect not only music, but also magazines, tour goodies etc., those collections easily outnumber mine.
I've seen some on Facebook that have entire shelves full of magazines the members appeared in, their fanclub magazine etc.
But I don't really collect those, so of course collectors like that have more physical stuff than I do.
 
But if it comes to rarity, then yeah, I've yet to see someone who can outdo mine in that aspect. I do know two or three others who have the GAUZE LP, though.
But I don't know anybody else who has some of the tapes I have, for example. And then there's all those tereko that most fans don't have, of course.
 
But I think I said so elsewhere: It's not that hard to do if you're willing to spend money on it. GAUZE LP used to be this holy grail, but I've seen so many for sale in the last three years only, it's not really thaaat special.
Now, VULGAR LP on the other hand... So obviously, there are people who have stuff that's more rare than mine, but they don't post it online, sadly. 😕

How can you still call them worn out when you complain about his drumming since, idk 5+ years now? It seems to be his style by now, get over it or stop listen to them.
I am not a drummer but damn, this same sentence complaining about him every time in every thread for so many years now gets kind off annoying to read. 

They’re getting old too. I can’t wait for them to evolve into their final form as old man band. 

this band is god！i love dir en grey forever！

I honestly wouldn't mind if shinya took public speaking coaching from Mana (however not watching him speak probably would be easier.)

Yokan is fucking great, though.

That's what actually bothers me the most: There are channels that do literally nothing but upload straight from the DVDs/Blu-rays.
I mean, I know my channel is technically as much in the wrong as those others. But at least I make an effort not to upload any officially released material.
Besides, in which year do they live when they think that material that was once uploaded to the internet (or streamed) can stay exclusive?
It's 2020, if you upload something that is important to someone, they'll grab it before you can take it down again. There's no such thing as "exclusivity" with such content.
 
So no idea why they'd go after me specifically. For now, I've made all my videos private and won't upload anything new until the strikes have expired.
Then I'll have to see where to go from there.
 
But of course, this ain't my whining thread, sorry for the OT^^
 
Edit: Now some rabbid fangirl reported my facebook account... what a strange day.

Looks like they seriously targeted me, lots of other old videos are either blocked worldwide or have received a content ID claim.
 
So I guess that's it for my channel. ._.

I bought it. It does pop up from time to time on mercari.

@Seelentau by a fucking long shot

Luckily i was able to score my 2 most wanted HOLY GRAILS within the last year...
 
However today i was just reminded of a band i wanted to own something for FOREVER but still to this date i don't own anything from 'em...
And the band i am talking about is Suicide≠cult. I basically would love to own any CD by them but honestly i guess that will never happen.
Because i NEVER saw anything from them at some auction except for today and at first i was like: oh cool only 3000yen, i have to get this and on the 2nd look... well it says 30.000yen, not only 3000yen so FML... XD

"Hey guys so remember the time we sold our album Gauze on vinyl but it was limited to 100 copies?"
 
"Yeah, why?"
 
"Well we're just about to release our new album so let's do the same thing, but get this, let's only limit it to 10 copies"
 
"Great idea management! I'm sure we would love to give out ten LPs to people who will definitely sell them for a ludicrous price which will end up being scratched and then fuck over everyone else by not releasing all our albums on vinyl for the near future and the albums that are on vinyl now are too expensive"
 
Diru please re-release every album on vinyl plz. Kaoru senpai plz I want WTD on vinyl plez

I would KILLLL to have Dir En Grey's Gauze on vinyl. The ones that do exist are extremely rare as only 100 of them were made. I remember it being on sale for like 50,000 yen just recently and sadly it was sold out last time I checked. 
 
As for other rare items, Dir En Grey had this shirt from 1999 during the Gauze era and I love the design. Would love to have them remake it for the albums 20th anniversary this year.

Oh, and I would love to have a La Sadies demo tape

Painful.

People are fucking ridiculous.

I'm a stutterer, if that counts. Most of my family from my father's side has it, and I got unlucky in the hereditary process I guess. I started to develop it when I was 6, and it's been bothering and making my life a little bit more challenging since then. I'm 24 now and dealing with it hasn't got much easier.

前田愛郎 (Maeda Airou) (UNDER FALL JUSTICE) new maxi-single "私は誰？僕はどこ？" (Watashi wa dare? Boku wa doko?) will be released at 2020/08/21(2200yen)
 
[tracklist]
1. 私は誰？僕はどこ？ (Watashi wa dare? Boku wa doko?)
2. ひとりぼっち（ソロVer）(Hitoribocchi (Solo Ver))
3. I LOVE YOU〜裏切りの代償（ソロver） (I LOVE YOU~Uragiri no Daishou (Solo ver))
 
 
 

That was pretty rad I won’t lie.
