Melody-wise, I don't think it is very similar at all. However, I can see where you're coming from since he's using nearly the same vocal range. Instrumental-wise? Not at all.

Stand down as the pussification of TW continues.

It's not LOTUS.... that's the cover that they just did for The Stalin tribute album.

God this is going to suck.

Considering it's been a year since their last release, they would absolutely suck if they made us wait 5 months for a single....

Because progress is constantly missing from Dir en Grey's work. EXACTLY what I was going to say.

This is going to be terrible. NOW was their last, fairly decent album.

lol If that's shitty, I don't know what good is. Really? A good setlist for me... End of conversation.

lol If that's shitty, I don't know what good is. And Kasumi was played in their previous tour right before they came to the US this year (other songs played that tour included Mushi, 304 Goushitsu, Myaku, Hotarubi, Sajou no Uta, embryo, etc.). They have definitely been branching out their setlists the last few Japanese tours. Here's an example of one of their setlists from back in June: 1.神葬 (Shinsou) 2.304??室??白死??桜 (304 Goushitsu, Hakushi no Sakura) 3. 秒「??深 (Byo Shin) 4.THE FATAL BELIEVER 5.凱歌??沈黙??眠る 頃 (Gaika, Chinmoku Ga Nemuru Koro) 6.冷血??り????
