I have an artistic project related to visual kei and lately I have a lot of attention on DIMLIM, could you give me any information about SHO or the band in general, Whether it’s fun facts about the members or any random facts about them
he runs a bar nowadays
Is this the one called B.Roberta?
Yes, it is.
no, it’s “BAR Dora”
Ohh, yes I follow him and sometimes I interact with him
I really miss dimlim
You’re right. It started out as B.Roberta.
Same. Im just glad i was able to see them once before they quit. Was just after they released Vanitas, so they played that and a bunch of old stuff which suited me perfect. Haha.
It’s not the same bar.
Alright, apparently things started out in August 2022 with B.Roberta and on 2024.03.15 Bar Dora was opened.
So technically, it’s correct, it’s not the same bar. Yet he’s (been) involved in both though.
For questions: Found this from 2023 on Nautiljon (in the comments):
Il s’est reconverti en gérant de bar, tenant l’établissement “B.Roberta” à Tokyo
And that from the deleted B.Roberta Twitter Profile:
2022年8月27日B.Robertaオープン致しました。 それから2年経ち2024年8月31日に閉店致しました。 2年間皆様に支えられ本当に楽しい毎日でした!
You saw them?! Holy shit dude, consider me jealous!
Sorry I have to use this thread as „DIMLIM“ is not on this board anymore.
I lived my craziest dream today! A friend of mine and I visited Sho‘s bar today. When we entered to the very small room with 4 other persons he greeted us and noticed my Kuroyume shirt and apreiciated it. I soon told him that I was a huge DIMLIM fan - he was really thankful.
The other guests started a drinking game where they had to compete with Sho in karaoke. First Song was unravel. And wtf man - he destroyed the song (in a good way). He still sings in his DIMLIM style and voice is 100% as in his recordings. There were a few pop songs but then came OBSCURE and he was performing so unbelievable good I got goosebumps! There was also some DADAROMA. Some guest put vanitas in the playlist and he was like
and skipped it. ![]()
We talked a lot with him and even performed some LUNA SEA and DIR EN GREY with him. He then told us that DOZING GREEN was the song which made him a singer. He performed the song and wow you can‘t Imagine how good he is.
He was so so kind and we even got a selfie with him. If you have the chance to visit Tokyo - Go visit him! The Dora Bar is located near Ikebukuro Station.
We talked a bit about music and he totally wants to sing again but is very happy with his bar at the moment. He is also still very into VK, there are many posters and stuff in the bar. So fingers crossed that we can hear him again!
possible to share the selfie?
totally understand if not lol
Thank you for sharing this.
I always wondered how he was seeing things and I’m glad there’s a bit of hope for him to return as a vocal. His voice is too good to not do.
For now I’m happy that he is with the bar right now and wish him the best with it.
That sounds killer. Am happy to hear he still has a lot of love for the scene and performing. Also great to hear his voice is still there too! If I ever get to Japan I’ll pay him a visit for sure!
One random question and am guessing the answer is yes but when he performed songs with harsh vocals was he going all out on that too?? As remember reading somewhere he prefers singing to the screaming stuff.
The answer is totally yes. ![]()
He FULLY went out on these harsh vocals even with posing and so on. He told me that he loves to perform extreme screaming.
Funny thing is if you remember the DIMLIM Youtube Premium live where they performed the full Misc. album - I ever since had the feeling that Sho had to hold back his performance as it seemed he wanted to go more heavy. So after meeting him this thought is now proven for me. ![]()
Sorry I totally forgot. ![]()
Here you go. Please don’t mind the involved alcohol on that evening. ![]()
Amazing!
