They literally photoshopped him out of the picture! 😱😱😱

DARRELL has announced that guitarist 潤 (Jun) has been fired as of November 10 due to lack of contact with the members and not attending rehearsals and interviews. Ai also mentions that Jun's behavior may be caused by alcohol abuse, but he hopes he can rebuild himself and move to the right direction. The band will still continue activities. https://darrell.jp/news/1503/

Sui solo CD, "Untitled Fallen" will have 3 tracks, and the Fallen edition (webshop only) will also feature a bonus CD of a self-cover. Untitled Ver. jacket:

Hello! I'm Hoshizora! I speak Japanese and English! I'm Thai and American, except I didn't start looking Thai until I was like 9 lol My birthday is May 4th, like Hiroto from Alice Nine. I don't know why, but Vkei just gives me such a good, unique feeling that nothing else can give me. It kind of feels like when you have ramen with really good narutomaki in it, or that first bite of sticky rice and mangos... but a lot better. My first J-rock band was Theatre Brook! I found out about them because I found their song "Uragiri no yuuyake" on youtube one day in September 2018. After that on December 29th, 2018 I decided I wanted to learn Japanese. I became fluent in September 2019! And here is how I got into Visual Kei: On February 23rd, 2019, my friend just decided to show me a picture of Ryuutarou Arimura, literally out of nowhere (I think we were talking about mario or something before then and she changed the topic) It was more like, as soon as I saw Ryuutarou I instantly became obsessed with him before I even heard any of his music (lol) She said the reason why she showed me the picture of him was because she said something along the lines of "I feel like this is a real life version of L, but this is really the vocalist of a band called Plastic Tree" (btw death note is the only anime ive ever watched) I was SO surprised to hear that he's 46, I expected him to be about 30, and it's not like I'm never around asians, I have a lot of Thai family, with myself having a lot of Thai blood too.. Regardless of his age I was still obsessed with him and I still showed pictures of him to my mom, all the time, even though he is like, 5 years older than her. After about...... 3 months of being obsessed with Ryuutarou, I FINALLY decided to listen to one of his songs. I'm so glad that I wasn't disappointed with them and they're actually some of the best songs I've ever heard. Now I just tell everyone in my family about Visual Kei all the time. Everyone except my dad's sister and her kids are used to it. If I showed my mom or even my grandma a girl in J-rock that actually looks like a girl, she will be like "That's a girl?" lol.. Well that is how I got into Visual Kei, lol.. and here is how to end this with my favourite J-rock bands: Plastic tree, The GazettE, X Japan, Versailles, L'Arc~en~Ciel. I of course know way more Jrock bands but those are just my favourites. Thank you for reading this and sorry if it was long! And also if you want to chat just message me, I would love to have friends here! ^^ Also feel free to ask questions

Love them or hate them, almost everyone's got an opinion about Dir en grey. The scene stops to listen whenever Dir en grey announce a new single or album. As a long time fan of the band, I think it's the perfect time to express how I feel about all of their albums. My feelings will differ from album to album. Some albums have had the benefit of twenty years and others only a few months, so that's always going to be a factor in how I rank things. I will cover this from my least favorite album to my most favorite album, but by no means take this as a definitive list for Dir en grey. Everyone will have their own rankings and their own suggestions for where to start. I happen to think that this also a great order to introduce someone to this band. This is a perfect topic for those that don't listen to Dir en grey or don't know where to start, current fans looking for spicy opinions and a pot to stir, or even old fans looking for a reintroduction into their new era. Not only have I included a PV for each album as a sampler, but I also put together suggested playlists for each album. The playlists are the order that I would have arranged the band if I were them. The songs are the songs that I believe are the best from each period. Some will require more effort than others to construct. To make it simpler, I have included my favorite three tracks and one music video from each album. I will not consider the mini albums MISSA and six Ugly in this analysis, but some of those tracks will appear in the playlists I create.

Thanks for reading all the way to the end! Did you like it? Did you agree? Do you have your own rankings? Leave them below! I'm interested to know what everyone's opinions are, especially since Dir en grey is one of my favorite bands ever. So many people are passionate about this band like no other. If enough people liked this, I may follow up soon with one for the GazettE. Until next time

Googly Eyes gave me the idea for a un funny ahegao meme

I turned my music on before my Bluetooth headphones so half the break room was exposed to zigzag at its zigzaggiest lmao

Aw man, I hate sciatica. Hopefully you feel better soon! When I get an episode I can barely sit up and getting up is out of the question from how intense the pain is.

The link says that it cannot be currently viewed and you'll be contacted when it's back up. Judging by the back disclaimer, you probably had to make a login with the serial number, etc. But it's currently not up at the moment.

I'm guessing the front side has a link to a site to view some sort of video, which can only be accessed 15 times. The text below just says don't share with anyone and if you share it, they won't do this kind of thing again, etc.

Happy birthday and I Hope you have a nice day ☺️.

sadly they're starting a new one On topic: I wish Kiryu would just have a vacation and one where BP records aint following them around. I am glad they're bringing back Hime- Hiyori ❤️

Happy birthday, dude! Hope you have an awesome day~ 🎂

Just finished listening their their full album and it is really amazing!! Too bad though i'll probably never ending up with a physical copy since it is limited to only 50 copies... https://linkco.re/MYvezTbq

it's angura if i say so

She also does some of the sickest shirts for BABYMETAL. Here's one of my favorites that I'm glad to own.

Oh, absolutely. When you expect you’ll need cat pictures to recover from what you see on someone’s Twitter and instead the first post you see is this: In case it refuses to load: concert schedule w/picture of extremely cute kitty

new channel should be called "slave to the grind" those poor overworked boys 😢 next thing you'd know Codomo Dragon, Royz ,and baby kingdom will do the same . Subs it anyway cuz I'm a whore for Mama Hiyori ❤️

So a new single about Nana is coming or what?

It's basically Showa-era pop music.

Title 2nd Album: モダンケイオスショー (Modern Chaos Show) Release: 2019.12.11

looks like ryo the vocalist will have a new project with their first live 12/30, for all its worth it could just be a sessions band but if you're a fan of this band it may be worth checking out. also interesting enough it seems like other damy members are playing this event but with other projects

if your band meets at least two of the below criteria: - have your cover artwork be drawn by Suehiro Maruo - perform short skits during gigs - use melodies reminiscent of kayoukyoku in your songs - design your outfits based on school uniforms - have at least one song about (pre-/post-/mid-)WWII and/or nationalism That's it, I cracked the Angura Code™, thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

have some bad scans of the actual cover (and the back of the cover, it's not even a booklet)~

Hi. I'm an 18 y/o vkei fan, living in Japan. I like Dir en grey, Sukekiyo, lynch., and the Gazette. I just started listening to MUCC too. I got into vkei this past January, after hearing about Hyde from a kpop guy that likes him a lot. I don't really like either of those people anymore. Currently, I split my time between trying to save up to afford my favorite musician's signature guitar models and attending concerts. I only started attending concerts this past May. My first concert was BUCK-TICK's 2day concert Bestia Locus Solus in Makuhari Messe. Since then, I've attended 2 Gazette concerts, 1 GLAY concert, 1 lynch. concert, and a whooole host of others I purchased tickets to but never went. This month, I'm seeing Dir en grey for the first time! Between now and the end of the year, I'm seeing lynch. (2 more times!), MUCC (& others at Trigger In The box), BUCK-TICK, and Luna Sea. There's more that I have tickets for in 2020, but that's a bit much to list, isn't it? Anyways, I have no specific reason to really join this place. Probably just to lurk, honestly.

He pulls this shit live all the time, and honestly the changes he makes sometimes stink more of Lars Ulrich style laziness more than anything else. – not playing the double bass pattern in the last few bars in the chorus of Red Soil – skipping the hi-hat accents in the verses of Audience Killer Loop – whatever the fuck he’s trying to do in the Shitataru Mourou intro Hell, wasn’t he even not bothering to play the rimshots in Ware Yami Tote? Changing parts/ad-libbing is one thing. Just not bothering and simplifying is another.

I met royalty!!

Can confirm that the single actually got released, as my order is apparently on its way ✨

Since when were they on the throne? haha.

exactly luv x

Ai giving us kusomen drama we all longed for 👏👏👏

I've seen him from afar. Not that much of a difference, just plain small asian eyes. They are actually really handsome without make up. I kinda fewl Sena feels more comfortable and confident with himself in his VK persona.
