Strangely enough, I don’t doubt that Kyo, Toshiya, and Shinya would be able to pull of this kind of again despite their age, I mean you could throw Toshiya and Shinya into a band with most prettier, younger looking members like GazettE or lynch and they would’ve fit in just well. And in the case of Kyo, well i think the 90’s Kote style would have still look pretty good on him.
Also damn, i forgot how Kaoru used to mog Shinya in the looks departement (Subjective opinion i know, he still looks pretty good nowadays, just in a different context)
Not for Dir en grey, they dont use very low tuning in 4 strings bass or 6 strings guitar. If they need Drop A#, they pick their 5 strings bass and 7 strings guitar.
I hate that it’s true, even with the existence of blu-ray player that is relatively easy to find nowadays, (Seriously, even if you aren’t really a gamer, a PS3 is extremely worth it) and the streaming plaforms (that probably doesn’t pay much anyway) I guess the best way to make money as a musician nowadays is through the appearance on another media like anime openings or create extremely viral hit that got 10-12 million views at best, or a few hundered thousand that is slowly building up to a million at worst.
Ah yes, that is true and it massively sucks. But some bands are finding ways around it which is nice. On the positive side too I havent come across this too often. I think its mainly a thing at bigger venues which host more mainstream artists.
