Nowhere Girl 189 Posted May 27, 2017 I always come back to this topic expecting actual music news... there really is nothing to talk about, is there? While I love this band probably more than is healthy, their output these days is fucking glacial. I know they tour a ton but they haven't swung by here (UK) in two years now. Wasn't there at least one new song that debuted live last year? Really hoping they'll throw us a bone after the MACABRE and PIERROT tours. So, I guess we're looking at August at the earliest. This is optimistic given that Rinkaku, SUSTAIN THE UNTRUTH, and ARCHE were each a year apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted May 28, 2017 Most of the members aren't solely about DEG anymore, that could be part of it. That and they're at the point where they don't feel like they need to be constantly releasing something. They've been a band for 20 years, so if they aren't burnt out yet, I Image they would slow down to keep it from happening. And I get the feeling they don't have their sights set on the West much anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sixnightmares 1 Posted May 28, 2017 I'm still really excited about this Pierrot/Dir en grey collab...but also nervous that it will be a wreck.... I do agree they aren't terribly focused on the west anymore, but it doesn't surprise me. During the first turn toward metal, they were hardcore about it. They got a little press but I think a great majority of Western views on them were still colored by their early days. Which I found distressing at the time...but expected.

hotcocoa 36 Posted May 29, 2017 Aren't they working on the new album now? I think general consensus is that it will be released after they finish with mode of tours? So only macabre and WTD left. There were two new songs besides Utafumi, faster one during UROBOROS and a ballad during Kisou. I would be very happy if they play more new songs during those remaining tours as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really care. It's only a two-day stint and it's not happening outside Japan. Cool for those who can go, distinctly meh for the rest of us. Releasing a collaborative single at the same time would make so much sense from a marketing perspective, but perhaps the tour is too short-lived to be worth that much effort. The most I expect is yet another fanclub-exclusive Blu Ray. I'm most excited about hearing those new songs. Utafumi has grown on me massively since I first heard it. 1 sixnightmares reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AwesomeNyappy 98 Posted September 5, 2017 Toshiya: looks the same as always Die: fabulous hair, but THAT scarf. Kyo: ...I don't...what...his hair and....just everything. Kaoru: saw pics of his new hair on tumblr a few days ago already, and the term "mid life crisis" also came to mind...he had beautful hair. Why. Just why.

For footage and demos of Diru and associated groups, I suggest checking out the WorldOfDirEnGrey channel on YouTube. However, if you seek full shows, video or audio, that'll quite an adventure since traders typically demand something in return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seelentau 884 Posted September 13, 2017 I'm well acquainted with both JMN and TNP. Sadly, the latter has been inactive for a year now (and he just uploaded regular stuff, anyway), and JMN only uploaded what everyone already has, and now he created a new channel (JapaneseMusicNerd, hence JMN), so he's out of the picture as well. Hell, I even got the Kiyomizudera tape before he managed to^^ What I'm looking for is early-era stuff, the batsu stuff, you know? For example, everyone knows about the Karma/Aoitsuki demo, but according to some website, there's another demo, but I've never seen a picture of it. So what's up with that? And what else do the old traders hoard on their drives? I want the 97-02 stuff :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
