Ro plz 1290 Posted October 19, 2015 IDC how bad ppl may have thought this entire set was. This easily is one of my fav performances due to how much energy they went into it with. ALSO, SHINYA BEASTED. 1 Crube reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked Teletubby 528 Posted October 19, 2015 probably that was the last time Touru had a decent hairdo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted October 19, 2015 probably that was the last time Touru had a decent hairdo. Acquired taste, heh (at least from my POV current, shorter cuts give him a bit of "tough" look - quite fitting concept-wise). Also, regarding "Touru": I am not intending to do Kareki here but wasn't this handled like years ago already? Idk what fans are attempting to be when they stick to presumably "real names" (for the record, it doesn't take a genius to google out in Nipponese and find more sources referring to "Hironori" rather than "Tooru" but who gives a shit anyway). We have their officially acknowledged pseudonyms for that matter y'know. I might actually take my words back and say: thank god that no one remembers "AAAH TOORU WARUMONO-SAN" idiocy from pre-'10 years, phew. Regarding ARCHE (which is still a huge clusterfuck): "Midwife" gets too much hate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted October 19, 2015 It actually kind of bugs me when people refer to the band members by their "real" names too. I mean, those names actually got pulled from Wikipedia years ago, which I think is a pretty good indication that they were made up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saishu 1589 Posted October 19, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAr8466lSUA IDC how bad ppl may have thought this entire set was. This easily is one of my fav performances due to how much energy they went into it with. ALSO, SHINYA BEASTED. Ehhhh... Clearly much of the problem can be attributed to poor mixing and probably monitor issues (was it during Obscure when Kyo glared at a stage hand running by, then screamed at another during a vocal break?), but there were also issues performance wise too. Kaoru totally mangled the solo, especially during the finger tapping part. Toshiya's vocals came in too early during the "live thru this world" part. And Shinya... I'll just say he was tired.

Pretsy 1343 Posted October 21, 2015 Sneak peek into Kyo's "septum look" (he apparently changed his casual style too): The guy on the left is some journo from Rolling Stones Japan, and the article he worked on handles Kyos willingness to explore the worlds of Jodorowsky and Švankmajer. Hmmm... Also, the sketch report from Niigata live revealed his next-level freakiness: Fuckboi gear! also, real photos from their China tour (HK?) http://vrockhk.com/2015/10/19/dir-en-grey%E4%B9%85%E9%81%95%E5%8D%81%E4%B8%89%E5%B9%B4%E5%86%8D%E8%87%A8%E3%80%80%E5%8F%B0%E7%81%A3%E9%9F%B3%E6%A8%82%E7%AF%80%E9%96%8B%E5%94%B1/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretsy 1343 Posted October 23, 2015 Speaking of Toshiya, Japanese fans have informed that he became even more ripped than ever. Here are the bands that performed there btw (some live-only omnibus) Three last acts are there due to the fact that they are all related to Free-Will (manager/CEO for Doginthepwo/Buglug/Blubillion's labels, Yukari (from ex-Baiser fame) works with Dynamite Tommy too). Also: we might get ANOTHER sukekiyo release next year - here's what happened during Decays/Sukekiyo coupling gig back in August (or w/e it was, thx to azifxxx@tumblr): (transl.) 1.) sukekiyo played a new song at Nagoya and Osaka. The song was like Hakuro, latour, dunes, foster mother, mama(original version). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretsy 1343 Posted October 23, 2015 Boo (you know, that chubby BFF of Dir's) decided to put up his own Xmas show soon, and he informed about his new *special* session band - not gonna bother with separate thread because barely anyone would care: "TTT" (the band name, btw) (for "Boo Xmas Event 2015" 21/12/2015) members: Vo: Mr.TTT (Boo)Vo: KOJI (Tears Of The Rebel/ex.SCREAMING SOUL HILL)Gt: Kaoru（DIR EN GREY)Gt: Aiji (LM.C)Ba: T$UYO$HI (The BONEZ/Pay money To my Pain)Dr: DUTTCH (UZMK) source: http://www.boonight.jp/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted October 24, 2015 Patrick Lennon? That's seriously a line in the lyrics? That's what was removed in the censored version?! (well, that and the "PEDOPHILIA") WHO THE FUCK IS PATRICK LENNON?! 1 Crube reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crube 585 Posted October 24, 2015 There's a former baseball player for the Seattle Mariners named Patrick Lennon, but I doubt that is who they are talking about. 1 nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted October 24, 2015 Maybe it's this Patrick Lennon? Totally random, but fits the subject. xD http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/oct/04/deputy-head-encouraged-child-rape (it would even fit if Kyo were to reference something recent, since the news is about 8-9 months before the release of the new Tsumi...) 3 Zeus, Crube and Pretsy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
