Wicked Teletubby

band's first release is an EP titled 'The Daemon's Cutlery' worth ￥1890. no idea about the tracklisting though. Touru himself did the cover art. http://31.media.tumblr.com/83dbf87c85e6191b9e1f6f13502b668d/tumblr_myjyw0TFoQ1t34w41o1_1280.jpg

just to make it clear. Sukekiyo now may be officially counted as Touru's solo project. they played a show and someone kind enough on Tumboner has collected live reports on Twitter. so, basically it was like this. Tooru is now again blond, he was wearing a white leather jacket. Sukekiyo lineup features four more people which were not introduced to the audience. it was DIR EN GREY staff preparing the set for Sukekiyo. I say that's logical. the band played three songs, all in minor key. an SE intro was a piano. the second track was played on an acoustic guitar, an upright bass and drums and something which could be recognized as violin (reporter wasn't sure). the third track was again an acoustic guitar and a man who played violin on an electric guitar. all songs got violent towards the second part with Tooru singing in a heavy falsetto, they felt somehow different from DIR EN GREY. after finishing the songs Tooru said 'thank you' in a small voice and left. Shinya and Die were in the audience. I hope that was any useful. I think Sukekyo would be a better name for the band.

agreed. it's like if it were even 30 seconds for Maximum The Hormone.

Earpods. you sound like you already use the best pair of earphones ever created. what are those? I'll give them a try.

DIR EN GREY will play six fan club shows in February. the tour is entitled 'FINEM LAUDA'. Latin expression Lauda Finem translates as "Praise to the end". not sure why the band decided to reverse it. the schedule for this tour is as follows: 2014.02.06 NAMBA Hatch, Osaka 2014.02.07 NAMBA Hatch, Osaka 2014.02.13 CLUB DIAMOND HALL, Aichi 2014.02.14 CLUB DIAMOND HALL, Aichi 2014.02.16 CLUB CITTA', Kanagawa 2014.02.17 CLUB CITTA', Kanagawa

kind of liked the sample. doesn't sound like an evolution though.

I did! I've tried lots and lots of those. including those that are more expensive.

nope. they fit, they sound, they're good. I love them. I'm being serious.

may I please take a moment of your lives to let you know that I'm totally happy with my iPhone 5 Earpods. thank you.

that's the last one, I swear.

here's one more. we couldn't resist to make Darth Vader style hadouken.

so, as someone out here told before, I am married to an asian version of Nina Dobrev.

oh. I didn't see the change in capitalization. thanks. now I too see Tooru behind this makeup.

crap. still nothing from Chicago, Minneapolis and Denver. where's everybody?

obviously guys at concertconfessions do use setlist.fm too. they've added the setlist posted on 'fm right away. but there's a problem with the setlist: review says the encore opened with THE FINAL. meanwhile, Toshiya thanked Houston for the show on cameran: https://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/cameran-images/12d9ad88-ca4c-4871-bee3-b496d4f133de.jpg the setlist was pretty much the same. a preliminary one is as follows, still to be confirmed: 2013.11.04 Scout Bar, Houston, TX / U.S. 01. Intro 02. 冷血なりせば / Reiketsu Nariseba 03. Unknown.Despair.Lost 04. 業 / KARMA 05. RED SOIL 06. DOZING GREEN 07. Bottom Of The Death Valley INWARD SCREAM 08. THE BLOSSOMING BEELZEBUB 09. Dead Tree 10. VINUSHKA 11. 輪郭 / Rinkaku 12. 鴉 / Karasu 13. DIFFERENT SENSE 14. かすみ / Kasumi Encore 15. OBSCURE 16.
