They did finally post the list of goods, but without any photos (are they still working on the video because that is so much useful??). There are some surprising items on that list like GARBAGE box?

Surprised they haven't worked in Cause of Fickleness, because that song is Withering to death as fuck.

Disagree, although the dolman sleeve on this tour looks great too, the MACABRE one is the second best only to the Kisou tour one. 

The rest of the merch for this tour looks... forgettable. I like how they probably bought like 2000yen garbage cans, slapped a Dir en grey sticker on it and charge 8000 for it.

 

The phone battery is pretty sweet though, good idea there.

 

[emmny 4139]

i love that DEG sell garbage cans, nice to know irony isn't lost on them!

[hotcocoa 36]

That garbage can was the first item to get sold out in Kyoto

If it was at least bit cheaper I would consider getting it just for the fun of carrying it back home on shinkansen.

What good are stickers? Just gonna collect dust in a bookshelf lol

 

While I love cats, I hate shirt dresses. Also, after over a decade of living here, I'm kind of over Engrishy shirts. Dir only had one normal shirt, and it was a pretty forgettable design. The towels were absolutely boring and also just as forgettable. The tote was plain and ugly. Like seriously, I was looking for at least one thing that would be remotely worth buying at the live I went to (cuz it will probably be the last time I see Dir unless they perform with PIERROT again or do another rehash of Mode of Gauze/Mode of Macabre) and came up with nada except for the Deity pouch, and all it said was "Deity"... Not even "Dir en grey", "Mode of Macabre", or anything to commemorate tracking my ass 30-40 minutes in the hot sun to get to that god forbidden community plaza in the middle of Die's country ass hometown. (Seriously Dir was trolling everyone by having their Macabre final there lololz.)

 

As for the new tour goods, the tote is cute and the garbage can is also cute/functional. I could have totally used a battery charger or smart phone case. The towel at least has the band name/tour logo on it. The teru teru bozu are cute, too, and I imagine some people will use them as car mirror decorations if they don't hang them up by their windows at home. Seriously, way more thought was put into the functionality/aesthetic of these new goods.

I respect your opinion, even though it's wrong.

 

On another merch note, I don't know why I keep buying towels, I never ever use them for anything! I have a collection of Dir towels still in their plastic wrap in my wardrobe and it's filling it up. I really need to stop. In fact, any merch other than shirts and sometimes bags (like the EXTREMELY COOL MACABRE BAG) just collects dust in my wardrobe so I'm probably going to cut costs and just focus on those in the future.

I use those towels daily as hand or face towels at home, or when I go hiking or jogging.

But I totally gave up on tote bags, got too many so decided no to get any new for a few years... unless they're Zemeckises bags 😄

That's a good idea, it's just that the shape feels off to me to use as a face towel at home, I like them more... square. Personal preference perhaps.

Same  Admittedly the Macabre stuff was probably better for guys. Except the Macabre bag. That thing is just fugly sorry lol

 

I use tour towels all the time to keep my head/face from getting sunburned while lining up for buppan, at music festivals, while working out at the gym or hiking, to wrap drinks in during lives so I don't get water stains inside my purse/on brand wallets, (and in PLC's case) during lives because they have a few towel furi songs.

I seem to recall the It Withers and Withers tour being lazy as well. Probably because it's a fucking lazy album.

Oh i believe it dawg. I just REALLY like that transition haha

[AwesomeNyappy 98]

Can I just say that I've seen clips on youtube, and I've never seen the band so ALIVE? Like, they are full of energy, they communicate so well with the audience, and also maybe it's just in my head, but there seems to be less tension among the bandmembers as well? I really enjoy wantching their new lives (actually I thought they were getting better again around 2013.)
