Another one for the kikeiji collection
thats Six Nine font bit looks like someone trying to make a swastika from memory
I dont really find those Dir lyrics offensive at all. Haha. Itās extreme sure, but i feel the words used are to express something much deeper than what is actually being said.
I mean, I donāt find them offensive either, but drop them on some random personās lap and youāll get lots of questions and concerned faces. It fits better here than anywhere else!
He most definitely sings kikeiji. Sang it so slowly I missed it the first time. 45:10 into the whole set for anyone interested.
Put a link to the live song in my original post. Probably should have done that when I first posted.
I lol when someone says āAllah u Akbarā why would it be offensive heās literally saying God is great. Anyway Iāll take the twitter approach and say āyou donāt speak for usā but nah go make your lolz even I find Ahmed the dead terrorist very funny a true classic because it is what it is. A joke.
what does kikeiji mean?
Deformed child.
Itās also in the lyrics of āCageā, where the ākeijiā part is bleeped out and in the booklet, it says āCageā in place of the kanji.
So Kyo singing the ākiā, combined with the āCageā in the booklet, actually makes āki-cageā or ākikeijiā, as ācageā is pronounced like that in Japanese.
Very clever way of censoring it and one of the reasons I like their older releases more. In new songs, you rarely find anything of note at all.
A similar, also often censored word is ākichigaiā, from what I know.
By the way, as I mentioned in the Dir en grey topic, Dynamite Tommy had a long-running series on the bandās history from La:Sadieās to, I think, VULGAR or so. In one of the first parts, he talks about the topic of censoring on MISSA and gives some industry insight in general.
ooh I was thinking of the derogatory term for a Jew combined with whatever iji meant
