Visual-Kei DIR EN GREY Music Clip Blu-ray/DVD "Average Sorrow" release

[Crube 585]

The worse they could do is have the band play over a green screen with the lyric video imposed as the background.

[Seimeisen 4406]

空谷の跫音 is better than most lyric videos; there's actual video footage and it's on the minimalistic side. Whereas in a typical run-of-the-mill metal lyric video, there's some graphic in the background that's shaking (or some other stupid moving effect) and the lyrics almost ALWAYS fly in and also shake (and sometimes more stupid effects)... like those FUCKTURNAL BUTTLUST lyric videos...

[nekkichi 6043]

why not?

because no one ever wanted/expected a Dir en grey lyric video?

they went down from vulgar/WTD era PVs to stitching stock footage and calling it a day.

[RinFukurou 46]

OMG. *hyperventilating*

[Pretsy 1343]

why not?

Because lyric PVs are usually considered as means of promoting releases through video streaming sites (a.k.a "teasers") instead of being "legit PVs" (that can be normally marketed or streamed through TV, for instance)

 

Not to mention that the collage of stock footage and whatnot in "Kuukoku" makes it totally inferior to "better" PVs in AS, e.g. Unraveling (if we believe in a knot stans' words about it being "von Trier-y")

[sebbivism 134]

Sorry DIR EN GREY; will not purchase this one!

[Trombe 22025]

[The Piass 3472]

Since when Johnny Depp has joined DIR EN GREY?

[Bear 1817]

That's a great mustache, but aside from the one mustache they all look like shit.

[Sakura Seven 593]

yasss leather daddy kyo

[Incogneeto 23]

That's a great mustache, but aside from the one mustache they all look like shit.

Die.

[nekkichi 6043]

i can feel shinya's embarrassment from the other side of globe as I see this

 

 

also, kyo has a qt belly tattoo

[CAT5 9075]

lol Shinya actually looks the most masculine this time? Whatever the case, I think it's great to see that they're still embracing their visual roots to an extent. Can dig.

edit: Kyo kinda looks like a video game character from King of Fighters lol

[Visutox 188]

I say yes to this new look, and another yes going to Kyo. Shinya's fab as usual. Except Kaoru's look, which I find meh in that particular pic, all the members are so fucking classy. Kaoru should forget about facial hair if he wants to adopt a more Visual Kei style, even if he looks better in his individual shot. Btw, the individual shots of the members are awesome as well.

[enyx 903]

It's times like this when I get amused that some people still think that Dir en grey have completely shed any Visual Kei influences.

 

Anyway, I'm normally not the type of person to care too much for a band's 'look', but I quite like this one.
