Seelentau 884 Posted May 12, 2018 No clue, I don't use lighters, especially not zippos^^ In other news, I worked some more on the band history: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted May 12, 2018 Pretty sure Zippos can be refilled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted May 12, 2018 It is refilable. You can buy the refill fluid in cans on grocery stores like walmart, it’s just about $7-$9 ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nowhere Girl 189 Posted May 12, 2018 Tbh it'd probably be cheaper to make a vector of the graphic and get it etched into a blank Zippo lighter. More effort, yes, but not 22k Yen. Holy crap. 1 emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted May 13, 2018 Yeah. It is expensive just because it’s limited merchandise, not more. It is only for bragging rights, not more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't into DEG at the vkei-craze (06~08), but whenever I read posts from that time online... Western bangya are scary, man. I think I probably dislike (or outright hate) 99% of the DEG fanbase. I just read a certain person's tumblr and there are so many things about Kyo's feelings and whatever, some people claiming to be his fiancee and other weird shit. Those names are/were thought to be real on tanuki some years ago. I've yet to hear any update. This is the source for "Nishimura Tooru", btw: Dunno if it's from a KERA magazine, though. Also, the name lacks furigana, so there's multiple possible ways to read it. Funnily, "Niimura" is not one of the readings, no idea where that name comes from. The only actually confirmed names are "Kaoru" and "Shinya", as in, only the first names. I've also read that Kyo sometime confirmed that his last name is "Nishimura", but well, no real source for that. Nishimura on his index finger (in hiragana) and in kanji: So three sources so far for that last name... allegedly, there is also a Nishimura bakery in Kyoto... No idea about the other's names, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seelentau 884 Posted May 14, 2018 I mean on the drawn hand, of course It just says にしむら, which is a reading for the 西村 you can see on the second picture and on the blue picture in the quote. Not that it matters to the casual fan, but I'm 80% sure it's his real last name. As for the first name, well, I have yet to find anything. I imagine that Japanese newspapers published his name back in the day, when he had his first health problems (~2000), but other than that - and especially regarding the other members - I have no clue where the supposed names could've been published^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seelentau 884 Posted May 14, 2018 There's one particular person like that. But if you're unaware, it's better that way, trust me. I don't think I know anyone in the fandom who's fond of them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted May 14, 2018 Well yeah, obviously I never really spent much time in online communities to pinpoint anyone, but to this day I come across fans that are pretty ridiculous. A lot of Gazette fans are really bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bear 1817 Posted May 17, 2018 Sounds like you guys are talking about that German chick. If so, that's hilarious. I remember her getting upset about people wanting to hear Dir en grey do cover songs, as she just fucking KNEW that they would never ever do such a thing. I loved that girl to death. I wonder what she's doing now. 1 rekzer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
