DIR EN GREY announces new album MORTAL DOWNER & tour

  • Die and Toshiya look awesome, almost angelic.
  • Shinya looks kawaiiiii.
  • And another weird ass look from kaoru, he looks like a homeless or something, in a bad way. The other day he looked like some goblin.. (I wonder if anyone if you remember which one I mean lol)
  • Kyo also seems to have decided to go for looks where you hardly can see him anymore. His recent peak has to be him pretending to be a AI foreigner in Sukekiyo.

This is just my opinion.
I think it sucks that both Kaoru and Kyo keep bringing the band down by looking terrible when the other members do their best to look classy and slick. Not the biggest thing in the world tho… but still… yeah

Sick, wasn’t expecting this to be so colorful. Shinya looks like he changed races or something. He does NOT look the same.

I love his look too but come on buddy we both know that that shot has been photoshopped for hours :squinting_face_with_tongue: Still like I wrote earlier creds to him for looking classy and not weird!

Are these the Mobs they speak of?

Papa Kaoru :heart_eyes: :eggplant: :sweat_droplets: :sweat_droplets: :face_with_crossed_out_eyes: :smiling_face_with_horns:

Looks pretty cool. Reminds me a bit of Kizu. I’m generally not a fan of these heavily edited band photos, especially with that “fading into random colors” and only the bottom 1/3 being the band. But fits the vibe of the album.

I miss the adidas track suit/jeans & t shirt era lmao. I’m in the minority where I simply don’t care for visuals but as long as the music is cool they can wear whatever they want.

Would you even be fine with this?

it’s soooo eaaasyyyyyy

I like everyone’s look… from what I can see. Too much going on, just like the album covers lol

If the rooms dark then sure. I’m not the one who’s nude :woman_shrugging:

Kaoru does look like he’s on some downers

Thanks for adding the picture!

  • Again Toshiya, Die and Shinya look classy and slick af.
  • Kaoru still looks weird and what the F is that hairstyle? Shaved that way.. and a manbun?
  • Regarding Kyo… I really don’t know what to say. It feels like he is photobombing the picture…

Now all that I need is the album and I am a happy man :slight_smile:

…. am I the only one who feels something is off with this upcoming album? Sure they do this magazine but I feel there is almost no promotion for it. Remember it will be released in like one week.Where are the youtube intervies/videos? They are not on any “VK-talkshows” or just…something!? Where is the HYPE?
Also only one single feels a bit odd for DeG, weak. I dont think the Devil in Me is good enough to be an album title track. I hope it doesn’t set the bar for whats coming… And for the love of god I hope they haven’t used any kind of AI for the music, sure they used an AI art generator for the album cover, but please not for the music. At last, Kyo and Kaoru (the leader) don’t seem to be very interested at all. Just look at their looks. Kyo went for the regular whiteface/black mascara and then kind of did everything he could to hide his face. Kaoru has one of the worst looks/laziest he has ever had and even accepted to release a blurry picture for the promotion material Thats how much he cares.

Yes I have a bit too much free time right now thinking about this, but I wonder if I am the only one who feels that something feels wrong/off with this album compared to how the releases were for their other ones. One part of me feels that its a fifty fifty wether its gonna be a complete disaster or not.

It still kind of looks like they weren’t actually in the same room lol at least Kaoru looks photoshopped in.

Is it just me or is Die morphing into Jennifer Aniston?
