Furik

But. Those buttons. Why though?

I don't see these guys breaking up. They're entering a sort of X Japan perpetuum. It's just going to get more and more embarrassing from here.

We all know that the only good release is the Karma / Aoitsuki demo, everything else is sellout.

they seemingly scrapped every song from that year-long youtube campaign, interesting.
 
black pig was an abortion so I hope this one is at least on par with their first CD 😷

YESSSSSS JUST KEEP GIVING ME WHAT I WANT 
 
havent disliked a tune yet. Keep em coming. 

kaoru's hair = goals

Exactly! I didn't mind the sound/production of THE UNRAVELING because it was like a 'cleaner' DSS. ARCHE sounded too much like UNRAVELING but even more compressed, so I wasn't pleased. And if these two singles indicate anything, it's that we're in for an ARCHE II. I like 人間を被る as an ARCHE/UNRAVELING leftover, but I hope the album version is different, and I hope my "ARCHE II" prediction is false.

I wouldn’t say this is their worst single. Taiyou no Ao and Child Prey are pretty bad. 
 
What bugs me about DEG’s production is that everything has sounded the same post DSS. Every DEG album has a particular sound, but starting with Rinkaku up until now, they seem stuck on everything sounding like this compressed wall of noise. Kaishun could have been absolutely gorgeous if it were treated with delicately, but it’s just as fucking loud as Uroko and Midwife. Listen to the Ash remake and how the first part of the solo takes on a softer acoustic tone, yet it’s still loud as hell. Absolutely no dynamics, which completely destroys the impact of the following heavy section. 
 
These fuckers are in their 40s now. Time to go analog or something. 

That Utafumi live is ROUGH.

It will be on US iTunes anyway, even if come a little bit later.

Dir en grey doesn't care about distribution to the Americas anymore. Too many scarring experiences from stalker fans and Kyo's feelings have been irreparably damaged by the leaks.

Maybe it's a completely new song and they just accidentally also named it Ash :^)

Surprised by how generic everything except the chorus sounds, which itself only shines for like 2-3 seconds.
 
Is this seriously they best they got for us after years of waiting? 

*Edit, they didn't even add a bridge before the chorus?

Great look , Kai's giving me bad boy vibes and Reita still riding that Tokyo Ghoul train

sounds like a【the 13teen】 b-side!
 
(I can't stop cackling at both radio hosts talking in vocal fry at the beginning lmao)

Pretty sure it's mainly because we can all agree with the fact that Yoshiki is an egotistical dickwad who only cares about playing celebrity instead of actually doing his job.

Ah, the comma that defied a thousand lawsuits

CM part is practically a lotus self-cover :/

I want to forget this live ever happened.
 
This was painful to watch, this was extremely sad
 
lots of sound/guitar issues at each song
 
holograms ? more like holowaste, I saw taiji for like 20 seconds, didn't notice hide at all, I don't even see the point of holograms anyway, just leave them in peace
 
audience was not receptive at all, except for the first 2 rows who were just japanese people all around (god knows how much they paid to assist the show, you people are cazy)
 
This is what happens when you "perform" at a place you're not supposed to be AT ALL

they've been out x

You're two weeks late :x

Well, that was quick. 

The new G-Dragon. Can't wait to hear this masterpiece.

masato from coldrain, taka from one ok rock and  igari  from hey-smith were the groomsmen
 

everyone's looks in both versions are WAY too fucking busy and i approve. strong toot.
