D'espairsRay

I agree with you. Hizumi is one of my favorite vocalists, I think I still like Hazuki better, but I love Hizumi's scream where he is like still singing, I love that, like in "Infection".

well, Hazuki's number one for sure XD

but Hizumi's vocal has improved greatly. i like that on lives it sounds just as pure as on the recorded songs.

some of their 2001-2002 relesases were also good. but still i like their later ones [like Coll:Set, yeah] more though the music isn't as hard as it used to be.

[zombie8mylunch 4]

that's a long list...... so they've been around as long as diru?

[Spike760 16]

Dir en grey started in February 1997, and D'espairsRay started in 1999, so there's a two year difference.

[Nekomimi 1]

And half of those releases are just the same releases with some extra goodies : D

Hell yeah, Hizumi's voice is awesome!

But the older releases S:

Sexual Beast is something quite horrible xD

Sexual Beast is something quite horrible xD

nooo, it's quite good ;__; especially the "[Tatoeba]kimi...ga...shinda...ra" and "Gothic" <3

[Nekomimi 1]

I can't agree with you >.<

I should listen to sexual beast again to say my definate opinion : D

"Why is it so bad" (because I say so)

I'll tell that later, lol.

Though, I hay have deleted the whole single ^^' *dislikes*

As a Finn I'd say the songs sound pretty damn Simo.

And sounding Simo is not too good.

[taka 0]

we have different tastes, that's ok ^^

and what Simo is?

speaking of older D'espairsRay, "Monokuro ninatta saigo no hi" is just like one of their all-time best songs. love it

[Nekomimi 1]

Well actually Simo is a name xD

But if you sound like Simo then you ermm..

Argh, I really can't explain it in any words : D

And yes, different tastes are good ;3

But I still do want to give a proper arguement !

[zombie8mylunch 4]

Well actually Simo is a name xD

But if you sound like Sumo then you ermm..

Argh, I really can't explain it in any words : D

And yes, different tastes are good ;3

But I still do want to give a proper arguement !

d'espair ray is an awesome band....... just don't listen to them when you are tired..... or deathgaze for that matter..... lol

[Chazzi 0]

D'espairsRay is the best band ever! xD <33

Hizumi's voice is so amazing, and Tsukasa's drumplay is.. fantastic!

And they're so fucking amazing live.

[buster 3]

even if they're my fav. band i was a lil bit disappointed about mirror, too softly imho

[Akatsuki 0]

Tsukasa is my favourite drummer of all time O___O <3

Sadly he has made me dislike drummers I use to think was okay D:

[Tokage 5930]

Said drummers being?

Oh, and I like Despa alot too.. Sixty Nine is my favorite song from theirs, after that comes Maverick and In Vain.

They're really good live, and I think Hizumi's english is surprisingly good.. I actually manage to understand most of it without lyrics

[Nekomimi 1]

even if they're my fav. band i was a lil bit disappointed about mirror, too softly imho

aaaw

I couldn't disagree more!

Mirror was perfect. I don't want to say every song on that album is awesome, but most of them !

Aaand, *ahemahem* I seriously adore Hizumi *points her avie+siggy*

And I kind of died when I didn't get to their performances in local festivals : ( So I can't say anything about the live performing.

[foshokku 1]

How can you not like Sexual Beast? ;_;

Gothic was one of the very first songs to ever impress me on music, and Tatoeba was guilty for addicting me to them. <3

Also, I disagree about Mirror being soft.

First, D'espairs Ray isn't soft in any aspect of music. Second, even Coll:Set had their fair share of mellow music.

You're too much fixed on screams to categorize one music as heavy or soft. Mirror is happier than Coll:Set, as it has less screams and more harmonic/emotional vocals, but it's still a piece of heavy rock. :\

Which I think is a good change, that only shows how versatile they are. <3

[Spike760 16]

I liked MIRROR, but I LOVE Coll:Set. MIRROR has too happy or something, I don't know, but don't get me wrong because there's some really awesome songs on it, like TRICKSTAR, and SQUALL, and yeah... xD

[buster 3]

yeah, coll:set is definitely a masterpiece

[Flame-X 441]

i like both albums. The CD i own from them is Squall single.

some of my fav songs are:

Trickster

Forbidden

Desert

[Fuyu Shita Riso]

p.s. im currently making an amv using trickster on X TV

muhahaha

[Tokage 5930]

And as a change of subject, am I the only one who found those 2 remixes on [Coll;set] bad and unneccesary (That's how you spell it, right?)

[Nekomimi 1]

bloody minded mix, and white stream mix?

They are what makes me love mirror more.

Just bought mirror. Or a friends friend bought it for me xD

[Spike760 16]

Actually those remixes are on Coll:Set. But I know Ito really loves them. xD

[a GENTLE LIE 0]

I don't like Coll:set. O_o;

But MIRROR 8DDDDDD

[Nekomimi 1]

*hugs gentle lie*

Yay <3 Mirror is love

[kishi 0]

Now it's been a year since their first live in Finland ;___; <3

Hopefully we'll see them again next year.

I'm sure of that

[Nekomimi 1]

Well, if they are going to USA, it'll cause me way too much jeallousness if they don't come here >

So yeah, maybe this year I'll have enough money to go and actually see them xD
