I’m ok with this. Tired of all the ooga booga screaming and growling and wheezing. Nice to hear Kyo just sing for once. And nothing else. 

 

same here. 

honestly im ok with anything and everything of what dir en grey does

but i think it's ok for them for a change. they already have a handful of screaming songs

[Saishu 1589]

It’s always weird when someone says it’s nice to hear Kyo sing again when at no point has he ever stopped singing. Arche was roughly, what, 90% clean vocals? 

 

And don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with DEG gettin’ chill,  but that preview sounds like a million other ballads. 

[blacktooth 227]

It sounds like an anime ED.

Probably another one of Kyo's anti abortion themed stuffs. #ProLife

I feel some kind of weird when I realize the many awesome songs penned by Kyo (or Ruki, also) that are clearly anti-abortion hymns... Then I remember that Japan is far, very far indeed from lightening their heads with a little of genre conscience...

Well, I just try to avoid thast thoughts lol

If you want this then just listen to sukekiyo.

lmfaoooooo What?

That nigga hootin and hollering in Sukekiyo songs too hahahaha

 

 

As for the preview, I'm intrigued....but at the same time this sounds like Rinkaku based on the chorus and Rinkaku is the best DIR song ever. Ima be really upset if it ends up being better or worse than it. 

[Saishu 1589]

All I hear is another Kasumi. 

[Asakusa 95]

When I first heard the chorus I got blown away by how beautiful it's sounds. So much negativity in here imo

[platy 3018]

Don't forget there's a dir en grey artist thread for all your song discussion needs. 

[dannemannen 69]

Not that impressed by the sample, chorus honestly sounds a bit boring.

I’m still blown away by how emotional the vocal melody is at 50 seconds.

[Tokage 5930]

ok so i said the ranunculus sample isn't really anything special at first but now i've had it stuck in my head for like the past day, sooo.... ?????

[Seelentau 884]

There will also be a physical European version of the album, btw.

Unlike Nok, which was only released digitally abroad, I mean.

[Seelentau 884]

For ARCHE, samples were uploaded 20 days before release. For TIW, that day would be tomorrow (6th). Soo samples tomorrow/this week?

[Manji 卍 743]

Usually i'm always anxious to get the samples,but i rather think twice when comes to this album...

i wouldn't resist checking it if the samples come out,so i feel like if i ever check them i'm going to ruin all the experience,

cuz i'm already hating the whole concept of this release,so letting the band surprise me feels like the only way to keep it fresh and exciting

Samples usually lies anyway sksksksks

Just gonna listen for what it is

[Saishu 1589]

Good lord, is this the only vk band that has us drooling for samples weeks before a release?

[LIDL 692]

No. There's The GazettE 

[Kelrya 145]

It’s got to be this week. Although the samples are often misleading but I’m still excited.

Arguably yes. No other band does the traffic that Deg news generates on this forum. 

[nekkichi 6043]

they'll be out x

[Kelrya 145]

Before Arche officially released we already had videos for Rinkaku, StU, KnK, and RoM, not to mention the 10 second samples. Hopefully we get some more videos soon or at least the full version of Ranunculus.

I don’t remember anyone sweating for samples of Ninth week’s before release to be honest.

I want a jumpscare teaser where there's just a screen with some japanese text and then out of nowhere some really heavy stuff and Kyo screeching at the top of his lungs (think of the "Reiketsu Nariseba" ending) starts playing with the album cover flashing on the screen (come on, it's pretty freaky, it could work well)
