DIR EN GREY to release fanclub-limited "TOUR23 PHALARIS -Vol.II- 「a knot」LIMITED 25TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE" DVD/BR in October

Sounds like a lot of faff and money for a dvd/bluray.

Man, if you think that’s rough, imagine what it was like trying to get an a knot DVD in 2007.

The process is (thankfully) a lot easier and more reasonable in cost than what it used to be.

Hopefully you don’t run into an issue. Galaxy Broad Shop will allow non-fan club members to pre-order, I believe. But, if there’s no a knot member ID attached to the profile, they won’t fulfill the order.

Hopefully Buyee has that covered.

Is it just me or does the typeset for PHALARIS remind anyone else of UROBOROS?

That’s nice. But now looks like they want more profit selling this new vol… Maybe the vol 3.

It’s the name of the tour this live was filmed at lol

Whyyyy must it be A Knot only :frowning:

Because it’s the -a knot- 25th anniversary live.

I get that. I’m mostly just venting the frustration as a fan from the USA

I really wish this were the album’s art!

I guess you could say Diru is the Dark Souls of music…
Fromsoft and Kyo are the only entertainment producers I consistently like so I’ve wondered if Kyo’s played their games. Or if Miyazaki/whoever else from Fromsoft that’s responsible for putting out nonstop bangers is aware of Kyo/Diru.

This cover is absolutely lit.

anyone know when this will be out?

just got an email from buyee confirming they got my order so it does seem to work for a knot items

Terrible audio. The crowd sounds like it’s from a fan recording. Super jarring.
Seems like Kaoru’s performance/guitar was bad too, although I can’t judge that.

Damn that sucks.

The Phalaris Vol 2 performance they put on WOWOW also had terrible audio.
