Perfectly alright. Awesome! Thanks! This will be my first concert in Japan. ... since they don’t come to the US anymore lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ro plz 1290 Posted June 26, 2018 Not tryna get anyones hopes up but I'm pretty sure the LUNATIC FEST performances get uploaded in full so maybe...we'll get a taste of that new track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platy 3018 Posted June 28, 2018 I'm still unsure whether I should buy a ticket or not. I'm not a huge dir en grey fan and the fact Kyo can barely keep up his performance with this band puts me off. But I also haven't been to a vk gig in forever and at this point I wanna take what I get. (not desperate enough to see kamijo tho) 1 rekzer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Sukekiyo lives have been incredible and the mode of Kisou & Vulgarism dvd’s are really good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FOSCOR70 56 Posted July 2, 2018 looking for albums/artists/songs/band/whatever that sounds similar to albums dum spiro spero and uroboros. criteria- -should have mix of harsh and clean vocals. -vocals should be distinguishable from instrumental music. thank you.

geist 227 Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Does anyone remember the name of that god-awful pop song Kyo, and other VK vocalists, had a cameo on? It was shared on Monochrome-Heaven YEARS ago, if I remember correctly it also features Shinya on drums; but I may be mis-remembering that. EDIT: nevermind, I found it!

Seelentau 884 Posted July 13, 2018 The song they played at mode of DSS reminds me of "Bring them to light", tempo-wise. It's entirely guttural, too. There's a slower, more melodic part in the middle. ~3 minutes long. The Tour18 song has Toshiya providing backing growls. Kyo mostly sings with his normal voice. Again, fast paced tempo with a slower section in the middle, Kyo growls here. Some crazy gibberish in the latter half. The chorus has this "climax" thingy to it, that Kyo does in some songs. ~3:30 long. Ranunculus is a ballad. Very slow and melodic. 1 Kelrya reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These all sound awesome, I like hearing a variety of styles from them. I assume you saw these songs live? I actually liked their last two singles but they were pretty similar to one another structurally stylistically so it will be cool to hear some new songs both heavier and softer than those. I usually prefer their really heavy songs or their melodic ballads over the more straightforward single-y ones. Is the second song you’re talking about the “Punk is Not Dead” one (Japanese fans are calling it “GO MAD”)? I didn’t realize Kyo growled in that, I only heard about Toshiya’s backing vocals but I’m looking forward to it. Every time I read a description whether in English or Japanese it sounds completely different lol. Someone said it sounded like 80s hard rock, another said pop, another said pop-punk, so now it curious. Do the members who do backing vocals live usually perform those vocals on album or does Kyo generally record all the vocals? They never show him recording on the studio footage that they release but I saw one video (I think it was for Utafumi) where it showed the rest of them recording some backing screams/gang vocals.

Seelentau 884 Posted July 15, 2018 No, I have recordings of those songs. The second song is "Punk is not dead", yes. Aside of "gone mad", the line "I cannot love myself" also appears on the screen. No clue about backing vocals, but they're not credited, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelrya 145 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) How did you get those recordings? I’d really like to hear those songs. Some posters on Japanese boards are saying that the second song is called “I Can’t Love Myself.” Edited July 15, 2018 by Kelrya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted July 15, 2018 The other dudes definitely do gang vocals in the studio (including Shinya), but live they seem to have specific roles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted July 15, 2018 I Can't Love Myself sounds like the title for an Adele song or something tbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some posters on Japanese boards are saying that the second song is called “I Can’t Love Myself.” I trade them for other songs. :] And yes, as I said, that's one of the lines on the screen during the performance. Same for Ranunculus (which is also clearly audible in the refrain). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
