DIR EN GREY

Yeah, I’m not thinking they will do a complete rework of the song, as it does not seems needed. But I have a gut feeling they will tweak it a bit, make it tighter

Clever Sleazoid album vs single is just a re-recording. The song is intact as far as I remember and not really messed around with in terms of its construction.
Unless you mean the 2020 version which is a non-album remake and not really relevant here.

You’re correct about embryo, though. The single’s vocals are quite different. Forgot that one!

Oh sure, I just didn’t realize you were thinking of remakes rather than simply rerecordings. Aside from embryo’s new lyrics, you’re right.

I wish they would release more demos and early versions though. Guess it’s just not what they have in mind for fanservice.

there’s also Dozing Green -Before Construction-, I really wish they’d release more tracks like it

A lot of people can’t hear the difference between the album version and the single version of Rinkaku

i swapped out the album version of rinkaku & sustain the untruth for their single versions & that alone took the album from good to great for me

I mostly hear the difference in the drums.

Im crossing my fingers one day for a live version of DOZING GREEN Before Construction.

The bass is more subdued for the album version as well (just like STU for ARCHE).

Not sure if this needs a separate news, but they announced a November~December TOUR24 WHO IS THIS HELL FOR?

Read this initially as “WHO THE HELL IS THIS FOR?” and thought it was satire.

I was waiting for this announcement to kill the last shreds of hope I had for a US tour this year, lol.

Honestly, I wouldn’t hold out for that at all, with the recent price stuff going on. There was a thread on here about that for more context, but essentially, it costs too much to even apply for a working visa, and you’re not even guaranteed to get it. Something along those lines.

I’m not really holding out, just keeping tabs on their schedule for that “just in case”.
