enyx 903 Posted July 10, 2015 looks cool, but i sincerely hope die does not sing 'too much'. i just cant imagine him singing. I think it's a bit too early to be saying stuff like that considering we haven't even heard how he sounds yet aside from some backing screams/shouts at DEG lives. At least wait until we've heard something from the band before deciding whether you'd rather have him singing or not. 1 TheStoic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted July 11, 2015 Shoegaze is fine, but I'm hoping for something a bit more interesting. Although I think Kobayashi's involvement has pushed my expectations far higher than they need to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

platanity 99 Posted July 17, 2015 again, im intrigued . but it's not as interesting and exciting as i was for when sukekiyo was announced. but nonetheless, intriguing. altho the footage is cheesy . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheStoic 176 Posted July 18, 2015 I have to admit, the SE creating a more creepy vibe that I was expecting for this project. I won't judge until i hear a song. Of course, I'm intrigued and hope it will be spectacular, but I'll wait until the 23rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ro plz 1290 Posted July 19, 2015 ^I hope its not. Id lose some respect for Die if it ended up being so. I'm not hoping this will be as 'complex' as Sukekiyo's stuff but id at least like some kind of appealing creativity that makes em standout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furik 832 Posted July 19, 2015 In all seriousness, I feel this is going to be like nu-DEG and sukekiyo but more watered down and not as vocally aggressive (no screaming/shrieking/growling ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted July 19, 2015 In all seriousness, I feel this is going to be like nu-DEG and sukekiyo but more watered down and not as vocally aggressive (no screaming/shrieking/growling ). Knowing that his "main colleagues" a.k.a MOON CHILD drummer and Koba are there, it is less likely that this will end up as some sort of "nu-DEG"-kind of thing (your definition sounds like something Kaoru would rather do than Die himself...since Kaoru's the "main tailor" of Dir's sound after all): - Both Kashiyama (drummer) and Kobayashi ("guest" guitarist) are rather huge brit rock/shoegaze enthusiasts (common favs including Ride, The Smiths, The Cure...you can get the gist already in case you know these) - Die always used to be the person behind the most melodic (Kaishun) and rather "alt. rocking" (I suppose "Wake" counts as one) numbers in DEG repertoire (i.e. definitely not a "metal" person, nor a person with "complex" tastes) - Both Die and Kobayashi seem to be a lot into exploring various guitar trickeries and riffages, and their traits on that matter make them really stick out well in their respective bands - Marine-colored, foil-based room scenes are not doing much in case they want to express what you just called "more watered down Sukekiyo"-effect (most artsy bands aim to expand and clarify their "visions" by adding a lot to the visual effect as well, see: sukekiyo's "Aftermath" PV) All in all, ender's expectations (I suppose mine too) are more likely to happen according to the factors I expressed above. 4 TheStoic, Zeus, doombox and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CAT5 9075 Posted July 22, 2015 It's the 23rd in Japan, so the video is available on itunes Japan. I don't have an itunes Japan card, but judging from the available PV preview, it sounds like might have been right, ahahaha. 2 yakihiko and doombox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted July 23, 2015 Not sure what to think yet, haha... Such a light pop-rocky track. Not that it's bad, just... I dunno, I guess I just need some time to adjust to something with Die in it other than DIR EN GREY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
