The StU ape wasn’t CGI btw, but it also wasn’t Kyo:

He’s not credited in the booklet either:

The cover sucks. Haha.

A lot of people getting way too invested in a 15sec clip. Haha. Im not really interested in music videos so dont really care about it.

As for Kyo going for the Lime look, thought that as soon as i saw him in London. Maybe the label are pushing this look for whatever reason. Haha.

Sorry to bring it up again, but don’t you guys think this is kyo’s worst look ever? I normally love Kyo’s crazy looks but this one is just SO ugly, like … lol i can’t get over it.


For example this one is so cool

I give less shits about the AI and am more concerned about how the mix sounds like the song is being played underwater from a calculator

That was my thought too, I was surprised nobody here had mentioned it immediately.
Thought my hearing had gone from bad to worse, or my phone was faulty, but even on PC speakers it sounds like that.

But that’s the d i r e n g r e y experience

maybe AI did the mix/mastering too

I split 31 posts from this topic (and one from random thoughts thread) into this topic here:

AI in J-Rock and Visual Kei

The conversation about AI is a good one, but a Dir en grey news topic isn’t the best place for it. Let’s talk about the AI there and everything else here.

I would absolutely cry

ever heard of ugly cute?
this is basically Kyo’s whole charm. an angry artsy pug pup, and in that view the look definitenely gives it justice, but well then we have everything else around it lol.

I tend to accept that Kyo will look however he wants and that he probably has a concept in mind that fits with the theme of the song.

Maybe he’s dressed as the devil in him lmao

Glad I am not the only one who thinks that! :joy:

I listened to it on my TV and just thought it was because of those speakers.
We should sign a petition to ask them to get a new sound mixer

At this point there’s no shot that their music isn’t produced like this intentionally, surely a way to articulate their dark twisted worldview
