I had wanted to see them(Diru). But sadly it didn't work out.

They are recording a new album for next year!!!!! Which means more touring. And they had a couple of songs on BBC Radio 1.

Here's the link: MySpace - Dir En Grey - Blog from Toshiya

I love how the early Visual Kei Diru & today's Diru are equally fantastic. One of my favourite bands ever.

Oh yay!!! I was wondering when they would release something new.
They were so amazing live~

I heard you've to camp outside for 3-4 days to get into the front row. That apparently happened at tho Koko in London, & I've heard about that happening in L.A. a couple of years ago. Its worth it I say

Well, maybe at the London show, but I could've gotten in front easily if I really wanted to. And I got there right before the doors opened. I just didn't wanna XD I sat in the second balcony, but it was still a really good view. Perfect, actually. And it wasn't crowded up there at all.

Oh, right. Cool. I guess another way is to get a VIP ticket :P

Time to get this thread in public view again. Message from manager about -ZAN- on LOTUS single:

'The strobe lights are so effective that they can induce a "pokemon shock"/', so watch in a well lit room at a distance

I love Lotus~ I'm so glad it didn't disappoint me. I like the new version of Obscure also.

Lotus was not disappointing, but I wasn't blown away by it either. New Obscure was good, but does not even come close to the perfection of the original.

Looking forward to the new album.

I love LOTUS. I heard somebody say it was too short. It had the power of Vinushka, but not the length. As for the new OBSCURE, its great, but I feel it doesn't fit the 'modern' Diru style as well as some of their other songs
