the cover looks like the bathroom from saw lol
loving the song already from the sample, it sounds like kyo's going right into a scream once the chorus ends... :D

SINGLES

X->1 - Tokyo Jihen - 13,107
X->2 - DIR EN GREY - 11,047　
X->3 - ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - 8,081　

Congratulations to boys :)

Wow, nice!

I quite liked the single :yes

By the previews that single sounds amazing.
The full song is meh.

Kyo's unique and amazing voice ruined by a lot of 'growlblaarghhiieeek' screams.
Srsly what the hell.. I know they never returned to visual kei anymore but omg D: those girly screams are annoying.

I like and I don't like the single. ZAN is too much, and Shoukobeni is ok. The main song is too hard for me. I love their old style & music, but I don't like the direction they took after UROBOROS. :(

Zan is the only standout on this single, for me. Although the original will never be beat, the intensity of this rerecording is amazing.
Pretty good sales!

Glad to see Japan is still into Dir en grey! <3

Much like everything on UROBOROS, the chorus is the best part of the song xD;

I really liked it, too. Idg the complaints about it, but whatever.

Happy to see them selling well too :3

The single has sold 26,871 copies so far :yes

I love Dir en grey's older songs much more.. like Cage, Saku, Obscure, Audience Killer Loop,...

^ me too, too bad they probably won't make music like that anymore :(

^ great sales

the concert was great, the whole audience sang the encore together with kyo
I was sad it only lasts 90 minutes
but my boyfriend got me a guitar plectrum they through into the audience
that is the best item to remember that concert

I can't wait to get the tour on dvd

That's really cool :3 When I went to see them in NYC this past November I remember lamenting that the shows ended too quickly--but they were an hour and a half long! You just get wrapped up in the fun of the shows and seeing them live that you want it to go on for hours. Sadly, can't happen.

Thank god they won't. Could you imagine if they never branched out from one style and just kept making the same stuff? It'd get a little boring :(

^ you're right, but they're not really keeping my attention with this new single either :no

Sounds like a great show, but where is IIID empire? Thats the BEST encore song ever. Did they ever play Waga, Yami tote anywhere?
I really miss seeing them in concert. Theyre one of the few JRock bands to acknowledge Canada's existence.
