Formed in 1997 with the sole purpose to spread the feelings of hurt and sorrow people face caused by weakness, shallowness and egoism of humans.
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, signing them to a major record deal, debuting with 3 singles at once.
Of course, all 3 songs ended up in the top 10 on the charts.
After that, all their releases would hit the top 10 on the charts with the increase of fans that sympathize with their lyrics.
In 2002, during their Asia Tour in Shanghai, public safety officers had to be called 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 not only an expression but also a message.
>From their unstable beginning, the band itself has gone through many changes and revolutions. Now it is clear that the music is their tool to send out their message.
They are the only Japanese in the world that has dealt with tremendous hurt and sorrow.
Until the day comes where there is no more hurt in this world, Dir en grey will carry the emotions of hurt and sorrow in their music, and they will continue to scream.

from the Dir en grey official website profile. to start things off, no, i am not some fan coming to rave about how hawt people are or how much i like them.
my friends and i have apparently translated this into a fancy way of saying: "Dir en grey made depressing music. they made good money from it. because of this, they'll continue to make depressing music and make more money."
any different translations? coz to me, it really does seem that way. (not that it's bad, i just prefer some of their songs over others, like every other person)

^that just basically says to me, "until no one likes Dir en grey, the band will continue to make depressing music and reap the benefits"
mm... i'm just not a depressing person. o_o; maybe i am, but i'm just being influenced by Isshi's cheesy love stories. OR.... it could just be the fact that it's late and i'm sleepy.
leave your opinion, not your fancy bad mouthing.
by the way, is Kagrra, considered j-rock?
