Guest cyberfruit Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 eh... i'm not really into asian rock (or any asian music)... or any rock bands that formed mid-late 90's but anyone wanna recommend me what they'd consider to be dir en gray's BEST song? i'll check it out. Aoi Tsuki is their best song in my opinion followed by the remix of Akuro no Oka (It's off of Kai, anyone remember the actual remix name?).

Guest tifachan Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I say Kasumi since it was the first song that got me hooked. x] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paroxysmal Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I like Kodou, Bottom of Death Valley, Cage, Mushi, Yokan, RED...[em], [KR] Cube, Ain't afraid to die ... okay I'll stop now. >___<; Basically, I like most of their songs, if not all. Though I rather disliked Clever Sleazoid - at first it was okay, but when I read the lyrics... yeah... But oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Malice_Kaiser Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Dir en Grey is really good. Not my favourite band, but they're incredibly talented, and their old stuff is amazing. I don't like their new scream-o stuff either. Kyo had such a nice voice. Now he's been smoking for so long and screaming more. Just kind of ruined it for me. o_o; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toshiyanemura Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 My favorite song is Child Prey and Cage. Did you know Child Prey's in English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tifachan Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 That was what I thought of CLEVER SLEAZOID... I didn't know that it was in English. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Malice_Kaiser Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Kyo's English skills are.... less than desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toshiyanemura Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah, that's true, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a great song. Oh, and that planned concert with Korn; it's finalized. They've already got the location and it's going to be this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want Diru to become mainstream in the US. I don't want most J-rockers to become mainstream here. But all this touring with Korn, plans of selling their stuff at Hot Topic... I dunno how to describe it, but I don't like it. It's like I'm selfish and wanna keep my fandoms at a fairly unknown level (around here at least) y'know? Anyone understand what I'm saying?

Guest toshiyanemura Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Yeah, I totally understand what you are saying. It's like, I've found Dir en Grey on my own and I appriciate them because they're great, not because everyone else around you is listening to them. I don't mind sharing songs with friends and I love showing off (like wearing their T-shirt or purposly doing a project that I can play their song in the background) but them being mainstream is... eh. My biggest fear is everyone getting the wrong idea about them. They're not METAL, they're VISUAL KEI!!! :tongue2: Yeah, maybe I'm getting too into this.

Guest direnwe Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 My biggest fear is everyone getting the wrong idea about them. They're not METAL, they're VISUAL KEI!!! Yeah, maybe I'm getting too into this. they're not really Visual Kei anymore.. which i like more.. I like their change. I love their old stuff as well, but I think Dir gets better all the time, as time goes you know... well i like Kisou and vulgar more than WTD.. but I like WTD more than Missa or Macabre, or Gauze.. so.. I could say i am into this screamy era or whatever some call it And someone was speaking about Australian fans of Dir.. I've heard of many australian fans I am not sure if Dir will turn out into something crappy now that it has been in the US and coming to europe again.. I hope it wont affect their personal style of music and so forth.. that's what I'm afraid of... that they'll become some crappy band, and try to impress western ppl :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cyberfruit Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 What is the difference between metal and visual kei? A big difference. Visual Kei isn't really a music genre, it's more of a look because VK has no particular sound. Dir en grey used to have Toshiya and Shinya dress like girls due to their feminine feautres and everyone else dressed in lace, pvc, leather, etc. They wore long, colorful extensions and lots of make-up and that's the genre that they were put under. Now that they have stopped dressing up in the VK style and their music took more of a western turn, they are under the genre of metal, which is true for their style of music. They're always done hard rock with some soft songs but, at that time (late 1997-2000/2001) VK was a huge genre and many indies and major bands were in it. VK bands now are...Gazette, Antique Cafe, Phantasmagoria, BLOOD, Alice Nine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toshiyanemura Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I was sort of wondering... what kind of person are you? I'm sort of a Guaze person. I start out my morning in a 'Cage' mood and end it with a 'Hakushi no Sakura'. In the middle I'm in 'Yurimeki' mode. How 'bout you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
