Crube 585 Posted January 28, 2015 The worse they could do is have the band play over a green screen with the lyric video imposed as the background. 1 ghost reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seimeisen 4406 Posted January 29, 2015 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 6042 Posted January 29, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RinFukurou 46 Posted January 29, 2015 OMG. *hyperventilating* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted January 29, 2015 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") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nekkichi 6042 Posted February 28, 2015 i can feel shinya's embarrassment from the other side of globe as I see this also, kyo has a qt belly tattoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted February 28, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Visutox 188 Posted February 28, 2015 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 Posted February 28, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
