History.

Formed in 1997, with the sole purpose to spread the feeling of hurt and sorrow caused by weakness, shallowness and egoism of humanity.

Since then, their grotesque ways, their warped affection, and their crazy live shows took the independent record scene by a storm, putting them on the very top.

In 1999, their fame caught the attention of then CEO of East West Japan. Thus signing them to a major record label. They debuted releasing 3 singles at once, very rare for a newcomer.

Of course, all 3 songs hit the top 10 on the charts. After that, all their releases would hit the top 10 on the charts proving that more and more people were sympathizing with their lyrics.

In 2002, their fame hit all of Asia. During their Asia Tour they traveled to Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shanghai. And in Shanghai, public safety officers had to be called in to calm the excited fans.

When they first formed, their expressions of pain came from struggling and writhe, hiding inside the feelings of hurt and suffering. But as time passed, their pain became a cry also a message.

Now, Dir en grey has changed its target from Japan to the World.
From their unstable beginning, the band itself has gone through many changes and revolutions. It is clear that their music is their tool to send out a message, and they have only just begun.

Music Samples
Something about the links led to weird sites... Taken down. Eh. If you would like to submit a music sample (or I have time to upload) just message me with them.

AHaha... Dir en Grey.. I love their songs, but their PVS is like.. S&Ms, bloods, crazyness.. x_x;

xD I never bothered watching their PVs after watching Obscure, censored. It was still freakish. I can't watch like... Yeah hahah.

Oooh I was hoping a Dir en Grey thread would come back.

Random pictures of Toshiya! <33

haha the Kyo gifs! =]

Whew* thank god i saved all the pictures that i didn't have before before soompi went bonkers x_x anyways, i only watched like 3 or 4 of their pvs ~ i never bothered to either

Anyone have the Die and Toshiya one's of this series?

Die and Toshiya series? No.. Not sure TToTT








I shall take some screenies of pvs or what not I got of DeG and upload themm...

oh my gosh!, the original thread is...is.. and and...and we had sooo...many pages... T______________T

ah!, guys thanks for the pictures,

i would've just changed my display name to final_en_grey because that what it was before, but now im solace en sakura ....

Wow...all those pages from the old thread...GONE. Here's some pictures though...





















Sorry if the pictures are blurry or whatever...photobucket seems to make my pictures turn out crappy >_____< I'll try and post more tomorrow...since it's bedtime for me over here...

Forgot to credit!!! O_O it's been...how long? But credits for the pics go to Joyceandou from livejournal and the last 4 pics...I...don't remember >___<

It is sort of sad to start the thread over, but it's still the same people and we'll still be crazy and now when we post a picture, we don't have to apologize if it was alreayd in the thread somewhere because we're still on the 1st page

OMG TOSHIYA! T___T never like the facial hair!
but its okay i still loveeee him oh so muchh
the rest still loook good ^____^b lol

hope this one grows as big as the old one

here come a lot of group pictures

Kaoru



Totchi <33

*faints* >o<

thats it.., all i have heh,

my little brother doesn't even like Dir en Grey and he can point out which one is Kyo in most of the pictures just because of me, lol. Now we get to say that this thread is from way back when soompi first restarted (or we can say so in a year or so when all these new threads are tiny and this one is huge)

The old deg were so funky and original <3 I miss them ^^;;

Thanks for sharing all the great pictures guys!!!!!!!

ever since this new diru thread started i feel like im reaaaally old, and i feel unusually depressed now..

anyone else feel this way?

Haha, yeah.

Ok, so, WERE IS DIE? I'm on a mission to find the black and white (and a little brownish) with a white background one of Die. See last page.

Dir en grey are the sex. Toshiya's not looking very pretty lately.

Aw man, this thread had so many picture contributions and stuff.

*sniffle*
So sad....

Ah well, here's a few of mine:








I'm only posting a few at a time, so that someday I will be super popular.
Juss kidding, If you wanna see a bunch more here's the link to my photobuckets;

http://photobucket.com/albums/b345/dirupics/

There's no password or anything, I don't know who to give credits to, I got most of them from the old DeG thread, and I don't keep track of who I steal pictures from.

BTW, this is Blinkewinke, not that it matters, no one knew me anyway.

^ i remember you =P

The blue font is unmistakable. ^^

Kekkeke... Wow. These are all amazing pictures... Lemme get/find more XD

TOSHIYA IS THE BEST! gosh his sexiness is o.O

Yeap. I remember the first time I entered the old Dir en Grey thread, when I first got into them. This was my first picture. Toshiya and his smexy legs. Sigh....

Just felt like contributing some Toshiya pictures, because you know he rocks! <3333333

Sorry if these have been posted before. I didn't feel like looking through all 2 pages. LOL.

I LOVE THAT ARTT!! XD



i understand how you feel... that's the very first thought that came into my head when i re-registered ;__;
is this final_en_grey, btw?

OMG, I can't believe the old thread is gone!!!!!....... This really sucks.... I'll post some pics when I get the chance.... last time I checked I had waaaayyyyy too many.

T__T me too! I miss the old thread.

Well, I guess we can all build another wonderfully awesome Diru thread.

Yes! It shall be awesome! Even better than the old one!...... I dun know if it could get better than the old one since the old one totally rocked!

EDIT:
Hey, in my computer class we have to make up a made up buisness and I decided that my buisness is sooo a J-Rock store. What should I call it?

aish, i knew someone would have put the thread back up! ^^
the funny thing is though, sometimes i wouldn't bother saving some pics, I'd just be like "Drr, they're in the thread..."

TT___________________TT

I can't believe we were up to 537 pages... And I owned the 500th one! :cries:

~sigh its a shame but we must restore it

Well it's a good thing that my photobucket account has half of the pics posted in the previous thread, lol.

So never fear, my photobucket account is here!!!

I remember you, blinkiewinkie!
I'll post pictures once I get back from school. Starting the whole thread over is a pain but I bet we can get to page 100 by the end of the month

Hi~ everybody~~

I was very saddened when we lost all of the pictures from before.... because I hadn't saved any of them out "My hard drive's too small and they're all on the forums anyway" and I was too lazy to go burn them onto cds/dvds...

But this is more than making up for it, I love all the pics that have been posted so far by everyone!

Oh, this is Arcander I just felt like changing my name to one I use on another forum
