Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted March 26, 2012 Too much action packed backstage footage of doing hair, showing the band members backs at the camera and smoking to fit in one release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted March 26, 2012 hope they're already drafting new music meanwhile. shame for not including the making of direngrey clone out of 12012 (but I guess that stuff is worth a dedicated blu-ray documentary itself) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretsy 1343 Posted March 26, 2012 Dum Spiro Spero didn't flop...lol A matter of opinion (the way those fans name it..."metal record of the year", that just makes me cringe and do major headdesks) I wonder why I...we should even look forward to this release -documentaries are not the thing they are supposed to do now, or are they going to kaisanize?

nekkichi 6043 Posted March 26, 2012 what's the point of constant whining about how bad the band is?just asking. really. because they used to be pretty awesome, and all the recent news are making me cringe. Dum Spiro Spero didn't flop...lol not in the diengreystan universe, but it did elsewhere: it sold worse than the fucking TMOAB, but they obviously earned a billion dollars off the $ 15 american edition.

sebbivism 134 Posted March 26, 2012 So, now I really hope the "Limited Edition 3DVD" and the "Blu-ray 1 DISC" will be the same edition, but in different format. I really hope they aren't meaning that if you want all material you must buy both the Limited Edition DVD and the Blu-ray release... What's the point in releasing a Blu-ray if everything is not included? I know a DVD needs to have more discs than the Blu-ray (that's probably why Blu-ray is only 1 disc and DVD is 3 discs/2discs), but how about that "+ 1 bonus disc" for the "Ltd Ed" DVD? And of course.... 8000yen for each one. FUCK OFF I can't afford it, I haven't even bought the UROBOROS Live Blu-ray release they released in January, yet...

sai 868 Posted March 26, 2012 Wow, I heard MOO sold bad, but worse than TMOAB? It's fun to see my favourite albums of theirs ranked in the top 4. What I don't get is that it SEEMS they're getting more popular with their new audience (with the harder sound) so I thought that they were only getting more fans, but it seems I wasn't the only one reluctant to buy a copy because I don't like their current direction.

Wonrei 108 Posted March 26, 2012 I find the Oricon position thing funny, specially because the album didnt sell as much as the other Dir en grey albums, but it did get a higher position than many other Dir en grey albums. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked Teletubby 528 Posted March 26, 2012 here's where an upcoming DVD thread went straight into 'how bad the MOO was' discussion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted March 26, 2012 Gauze sold out well due to Yoshiki factor but other sale number positions actually make sense - as with Sai, my favorite releases are on the top (which makes me happy, to be honest) here's where an upcoming DVD thread went straight into 'how bad the MOO was' discussion Alrightey then, we will carry on in DEG thread ---> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-Marc 7 Posted March 26, 2012 even how much i love dir en grey, their previous docu dvds where boring as hell=p will first wait to download it to see if its any good. maybe if its worth it ill buy then europe one, since i went to the holland gig=) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebbivism 134 Posted March 26, 2012 The big question is "Will there be English subtitle for this release?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*littlelamb 78 Posted March 26, 2012 I find the Oricon position thing funny, specially because the album didnt sell as much as the other Dir en grey albums, but it did get a higher position than many other Dir en grey albums. lol That's why it's silly to judge popularity based on that ranking. Record sales in general have gone down A LOT in recent years. If you look at the ranking and number of appearances on the charts, it's stayed pretty much the same, even though the number of units sold is way smaller. That's because everyone's sales are getting smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
relentless 254 Posted March 26, 2012 Post wouldn't post so: 1. We're comparing albums that came out as long ago as 13 years against an album that came out not even a year ago. That makes sense. 2. Dir en grey, like many Japanese bands that reach a wider international audience, received a decrease in sales overtime. Shocking? No they ditched a fad and short term sales. 3. Their claim to fame in Japan was Garden, their world renowned fame is two back to back albums Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero. 4. Local sales (Japan) have dropped, international sales have surged (especially with increased focus and exposure of the band) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted March 26, 2012 Dum Spiro Spero didn't flop...lol A matter of opinion Opinions are for the weak and stupid. > In no1currsanymore solitude, sales aggravation and MOO flopping induced desperation ---- still they take the stage. How much have Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero sold overseas? Last time I checked Uroboros was still in the lead. Edit. Oh, the discussion moved elsewhere.

Pretsy 1343 Posted March 26, 2012 Post wouldn't post so:3. Their claim to fame in Japan was Garden I'll, their world US renowned fame (Uroboros didn't even have notable charts in Europe, unlike Withering to death and it's early Finnish chart position for instance) is two back to back albums Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero (nothing's changed after Uroboros in terms of fame). Fix'd and discussion moved elsewhere, thnku. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
