Seriously, one of the best diru interviews ever. I am used to them answering questions so vaguely
Such a good interview! And I really liked the interviewer as well, he was so calm and asked really good questions and I could see that Die and Kaoru appreciated that and were actually interested in answering the questions as best as they could.
Even Kaoru laughed at the question about their PVs.
"What's the reaction in Japan towards your videos?"
"lol, oh dear"
WOW, these two have dead sexy voices! Love it! ;)
This is a great interview. Thank you for not putting in a bunch of shitty special effects and background music. It's just one-on-one communication. Thank you.
OMG their VOICE!!! :O I die!!!
This is a great interview, usually the person doing the interview drives me nuts but you're very professional and to the point!
@Jasppier They have said in other interviews that "DIR EN GREY" has no interpretation. That it was a collection of words from other languages that couldn't have a translation. Kyo mentioned that they didn't want the band name to mean something. That they wanted it to be left up to interpretation just like their music. The name couldn't be categorized, neither could their music. I think that's why Die said it means "grey metal".
Greaaaaat : D Now I'm even more excited for Dir en grey in London and Berlin!
Great interview. Thanks for posting. Just saw Dir En Grey for the first time in Dec 2011 in LA House of Blues. They blew me away & their live energy was insane! For sure a new fan! Their music is unique & indescribable. Amazing musicians as well. Looking forward to seeing them again.
I really hope I get to make it to their show this year in L.A. I definitely wanna see them again, they sound amazing live. Can't wait for the album!
Is it just me or does Die talk like he's purring? 0_o
diru wants people that'll put forth an effort to try and understand their messages they put in their songs. they want true listeners which is a hard audience to target at, but they're doing it. they don't want people covering their ears and looking at them. y'know? they want it to be all about the music.
There are many statements I admire in this interview, but I really appreciated how they leave it to the listener to take his meaning from the lyrics (of the new single). I have met other authors and songwriters who say the same thing. The best art is that which the consumer connects with and feels relates to his own life experience.
nyaaa Kaoru
Kaoru (and Die) answered the questions very well here.
Diru had a lot of genres ... Visual Kei , Death/No/Alternative/Heavy/Symphonic Metal... They are just ... PERFECT... And that`s why I fucking love them .
very pro interview. great questions.
I'm watching this out of mere curiosity cause I'm not (yet) a fan of Dir En Grey. But fucking Shisus THEIR VOICES!! I thought I was dying! I had to pause several times!
@ItanjiXx FML.... Such a great band with potential.
yay Kaoru you're so right!! DIR EN GREY's genre is DIR EN GREY XD
OMG u interviewed DIR en grey!!!!1
lovely
i bet this was difficult for you 0_0 but you did GREAT!:D
I can see Dir en grey touring with UnsraW
@akaGenesis that would explain the glasses haha
heh. They finally admit... even they have no idea what Kyo's on about :)
I wonder, when are they going to admit they named themselves after a Lareine song...
Die fala como se fosse um gatinho ronronando
"Gray Metal ,Yeahhhh" \m/
I'll just say, most of the subs are messed up. Dunno if your interpreter was the one making the subs for this, but if she did, then she ripped you off big time.
lol every time Die pauses it sounds lke a growl...
die's voice so hoarse haha :D
I sometimes wonder.. In all their interviews they answer questions so slowly and vaguely I wonder.. Was the translation confusing.. Or are they high?
@visualkeikid123 maybe because there not interested in becoming a band thats base on their fashion since they focus more on their music
@xXLadyDiruXx Dir en grey's present sound is nothing like the other two, so touring together would really make no sense. The fact that someone listens to music just because it's from Japan is hilariously ignorant.
The name they just stole from Lareine.
Maybe they wanted to be seen as musicians, not as a freaking dressing show.
Robert please speak Japanese not English ❤
