theres probably a thread about them already but i couldnt find one so i decided why not i just do one (ifts closed please tell me where its at please thankyou u rock!)

Dir en Grey an awesome band they are crazy and kyo is an awesome singer! all the members of this band are really talented from die to shinya! they have 6 albums and i only own one of them and thats the vulgar cd (16.22 at mistuwa ) and if you are one of the rocker types go for this band unless you already have then you what im talking about! here some pics of dir en grey

16.22? Meaning it cost $16.22? Wow, that's pretty cheap.

Dir en grey is my favorite band. But unfortunately, due to lack of funds and lack of resources, I only own two albums and four singles. Although I am proud to say that one of those albums happens to be a limited edition of GAUZE with the gorgeous traslucent slipcase to die for. The other album is Kisou, which is my personal favorite. And first presses of myaku, [KR]cube, taiyou no ao (these three being, I believe, difficult to get outside of Japan now), and Child Prey.

For me, Deg's best period was from January to August 2002. First the release of Kisou, then their The Pilgrimage Capsizing the Islands Asia tour, and all the adrenaline culminating in the double release of Six Ugly and Child Prey. My gods, it was glorious. Unfortunately, Kyo's lyrics have...deteriorated since then. I mean, the VULGAR stuff and The Final and saku have good composition, but the lyrics have definitely taken a toll and are just not the same as they were from GAUZE to Kisou. I'll really miss being able to cry while listening to them.

I noticed that all the photos you posted are from MACABRE era. Personally I like all their looks that are post-Enlightenment and Clairvoyance tour and pre-VULGAR release. I guess I'm just not so fond of Toshiya's MACABRE look or Deg's visuals before that because...while they do look good as women, I believe they look hotter as men.

oh i didnt know but yea $16.22 how much you got the cds for? well i dont the eras i jsut got the pictures cause they look cool yea know

As far as I know, imported Japanese albums cost about $35. That is, unless Mitsuwa sells used CDs...

I'm sure everyone know who Dir en grey is...
hm well the point being, i'm doing a cosplay of Toshiya as in 5 Ugly, Kingdom. Does anyone have any really detailed photos of him?
I need both face close up shots and clothes, full body >...<

thanks in advance!~
ps: is there a Dir en grey thread here?

I love J Rock.. I listen to Siam Shade and X Japan loads!! Is Dir en Grey similar?? I'll definately start listening to them asap!! thanks guys!!

I was recently scrolling through the threads here for some bands I liked an realized the Dir En Grey thread has died. WHY!!

Diru is so great! I recently got into them but their music is just so powerful. Kyo's voice is hypnotizing. I love them.

Come post again!!

A Diru thread? I didnt know this was here. Hmm....hey people!!
Umm...anyone listened to their Withering to Death album? Its so good isnt it?
If not go to like a Hot Topic, I think they sell them there now. (how lame)

Yea...o_O

^ Yea I absolutely love Withering to Death. It gets better every time I listen to it. Merciless Cult, Dead Tree, The Final, and Kodou are my favorite tracks.

I would love to see them perform in the Family Values Tour with Korn but I have to go to college during the dates they are coming near my area. How unfair.

i used to listen to Dir en grey but they kind of faded away for me.
The Final, and Kasumi still get played every once and a while

But they have been around for a while now. I just recently got into them but I like their old and new works. They're making a big breakthrough in America right now. Hopefully in the future they will lead the way to more JRock artists being recognized here.
