DogManX 179 Posted November 14, 2015 Naah that's not her. Saw her picture once. I believe so. I wonder how she would react when she finds out that the band covered Iron Maiden, The Stalin, X Japan, and Spread Beaver. Oh I'd totally tell you how. She would attack you for insulting Kyo, then whine about how no one ever understands her right. 1 Crube reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crube 585 Posted November 28, 2015 Judging by the art direction of their visualness... maybe it's an exculsive song for the new Dissidia Final Fantasy game. 3 Desqui, emmny and Kaye reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desqui 48 Posted December 3, 2015 $$$$rolling$$$$ I'm giving my first serious listen to Sukekiyo and I love Hiroshi Mikami's voice in Focus, more than Kyo's. This is really putting into perspective the reason I listen to Dir en grey, because if the only thing I don't like too much in Sukekiyo is Kyo's voice, then it really must be all the other components of Dir en grey that I'm into them for.

WhirlingBlack 1043 Posted December 6, 2015 Who wants to join in me fixing the setlist.fm page for Dir en grey? I now have 100% confirmation that the song generally known as "Ai Murasaki Iro" is in fact named "Ranshishoku", and thus a couple of setlists need to be fixed.

emmny 4139 Posted December 6, 2015 tefutefu is so good its borderline infuriating like it makes me DANCE HOW DARE U MAKE ME DANCE as much as i loved DSS for its unrelenting heaviness and abrasion, i love the fabulous sense of rhythm on ARCHE its the perfect mix of kaoru's hurdurr heavy -core riffing and die's older visual worship chord work. tefutefu is an example of the perfect mix of the two, its dark and foreboding but infectiously catchy and fun. /rant over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhirlingBlack 1043 Posted December 7, 2015 I volunteer. how did you confirm that? and Kanji please. This has been a long process for me, I've been working on it for years, but I managed to find an obscure old magazine clipping in an auction which I bought some years back but never got onto reading properly ("Groove Line vol-29" from December 1998) where a setlist is posted which gives the name as Ranshishoku. I actually took the liberty of scanning it just so we can get rid of all doubt on the subject. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62973737/ranshishoku.jpg If you look at the setlist in the lower left corner, you can notice that track nr.6, is actually given half in katakana as "ランシ色" either because the band wasn't sure on how they wanted to spell it at the time, or because they wanted to make clear the pronunciation. Notice how Mazohyst also is spelled in katakana since this was before the release of the track. Now, the interesting thing is of course, that the kanji is exactly the same. A lot of kanji have two or more readings, and in this particular case, 藍紫色 can be read in kun'yomi, the "traditional Japanese" pronunciation, as Ai Murasaki Iro. However, when read as on'yomi, which is essentially pronunciation originally borrowed from China, the same three kanji reads out "Ranshishoku". And while I cannot provide a source for this, I know for a fact that Kyo also presented the song as Ranshishoku during the 1998 tour. These two evidence put together really left no doubt in my mind what the proper pronunciation of the title is, and thus I decided to make my research public. And as a side note, hopefully this can also help anyone who still believes that "Karma" should be pronounced as "Waza"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desparejo86 160 Posted December 7, 2015 Arche is the first Dir en Grey album I've loved since Macabre. I think it's their best work. I've always respected them and felt they were head and shoulders above the modern visual scene as artists, but I didn't care for their musical direction. Arche is so incredible though; it's like visual kei from an alternate reality where VK stayed big and relevant and exciting. No offense to those that love the modern scene intended, just my opinion. 輪郭 is soul crushingly good. 1 Chi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
