I have never known such disdain for the DEG discography. This show is gonna SUCK.
Jessica over Uroko seems like a win to me!
Uroko is a much better song but Jessica is a rare treat so I’m torn
JESSICA is their achilles heel, afaic.
I don’t even think i’ve heard Kyo sing it from front to back, not at Blitz, not at F5UK, DEFINITELY not Code/VULGAR[ism], and for sure not Depression/Kisou.
I hate JESSICA. lol.
i recently discovered that hot topic used to sell dir en grey merch. wish they still did this. id spend all my money there lol

Wow, acid flashbacks.
That was pretty badass not gonna lie.
Is kinda nice just seeing them going a bit wild rather than all conceptual and meaningful. Haha. That stuff is cool but sometimes you just need this too. Lol.

It might be a little self-plagiarizing, but this video at least has some pretty cool imagery. Not bad. Better than the TDFF video for sure

I’ll never understand why the breakdown section drops in volume. Who thought that was a good idea? I guess you could call that a very “dramatic” section in the song, and its impact is totally lost as a result.
It’s a damn shame. Dir en grey have these weird moments once in a while where you’re just like “what the hell were they thinking?” Midwife’s intro bothers me much in the same way. Die is chugging along with a really spectacular – albeit simple – guitar part, and Kaoru comes in with awful lead work that shouldn’t be there in the first place.
