Dir En Grey - Riyuu ~2018 Remake~

Dir En Greys remake of Riyuu off their old "Macabre" album.
From disc 2 of their newest album "The Insulated World" and before you all start arguing about the name in my comments, i was unaware that the song is also known as "wake" the way its written on the actual album case as well as according to cdjapan have it as Riyuu so thats what i went with. I mean they both mean "Reason" so i meaaaaannn im just going with what iv'e always known it as

I've never been so in love with a band before. I just love them infinitely.

I personally love that they are bringing a lot of their old material back, now we get a chance to see many older songs live.

You know. I was sceptical about this version when I first hear it because the original was so close to my heart. But gawddamn.... The more I listen to it the more I love it.

Walking to this song and keeping with the beat is so satisfying.

[@yuhalee7101]

This band surprised me all the time. I couldn't expect that there is another version of 理由 in future. I can find some similarities (or could say mixtures) with MACABRE album's songs as its main theme and the melody in this song shows me the progress of their old days style. Thanks to Dir en Grey makes me feel my 2000 again.

八月五日　土曜日　空に雲はなく ビルの最上階から 気付けば 別れを告げて 八月三日　木曜日　俺の心に傷が 六度目の傷　ズタズタになり　全て壊れてしまえ　全て 出会って初めて気付いた自分の愚かさを 人を信じられないまま　人を傷つけていると なぜ　 また俺は君の事を懲りずに愛する こうして俺は愛する事を 忘れられないようだ　でも 信じることは辛く 気付かれないように 独りで泣いていた　君に分からぬよう これ以上　これ以上は傷つきたくない でも今だけは君だけを愛していたかった 忘れようとしたときもあるけど 今は抱き締めたい 信じる事が辛く 君の過去を知った 忘れられないのは君の方なのに これ以上、これ以上は傷つきたくない でも君だけを　力強く抱きしめられない 八月五日　晴れた雲の無い空の中で もう最後だね　地面に広がる自分を見つめ 君を抱いて 君を見つめ 君を愛し 君を想う 後悔なんてしていない 俺も俺の一つさ 惨めに後悔を愛するよりはましだろ？ 君を失くし

Back in 2008 I had a Dir en Grey overdose when I first discovered them... Now I started hearing this song as if it was something new as I just opened the related video because of the name of the band. I just didn't remembered the song's name, but then I recognized the song and was like "WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!"

[@dfrost3417]

Loose translation August 5, a Saturday: there's not a cloud in the sky. If you pay attention, I'll say goodbye from the top of a building. August 3, a Thursday: there's a scar on my heart, the sixth scar, shredding it to pieces, breaking everything apart, everything. When we met I realized my foolishness. I could not believe in people, and I hurt them. Why do I still love you without learning from my mistakes? This way, it's seems I'll never be able to forget what it is to love, but Believing is painful. I was crying alone, without being noticed by you. Like you didn`t know... I don`t want to be hurt more than this.. But right now, you're the only one I've wanted to love. There've been times I've tried to forget, but now I just want to hold you. Believing is painful. I knew your past. Even though you're one who can't forget More than this, I don't want to hurt you more than this. But you're the only one I cant hold with all my might. August 5: In a sunny, cloudless sky this is the end already. I see myself spread on the ground. I hold you, I watch you, I love you, I think of you.

[@mariposadelamusica1283]

It's a good version, but too me the old one is a lot more emotional

[@Hextator]

Not even speaking in terms of how emotional it sounds, I feel like the older version's instrumentals just matched the song topic and vocals better. Diru can do anything from start, to finish, and along the way, down the massive gradient ranging from their Visual Kei roots to their intense metal contemporary sound, and it will still sound great. I hope they don't forget to take advantage of that for future albums, and I think they did their history justice in Insulated World.

The bass in the older version is alot stronger. The guitar tuning has changed too but this version is still really good

[@michaell4292]

Idk. When they make remakes, I expect them to improve on the original, and they've done that successfully many times. But I don't see it with this. This doesn't add anything for me, the original is still a better song. While there are songs that they remade, staying close to the original that worked, Wake didn't really have any empty space to fill to begin with, and this doesn't move far away enough from the tone or composition of the original to make it special. In fact, it feels emptier. Like instead of improving upon it, they decided to approach it as if they'd written it today. Macabre as a whole, and especially Wake, is very emotionally driven. Kyo's desperation and the guitar solo really spot light that. But this version pulls back both of those things. And in doing that, they really gave up what made Wake a great song. This doesn't feel like a passion project. It feels like someone told them to do this.

[@inquisitorchristopher8527]

I like this though, it's from the era of just straightforward rock for them... like the remake of "Kasumi" on Unraveling... I mean what did you expect them to do with it, it's a perfect song from the Visual Kei period. Not really much they could do to it that wouldn't straight up ruin the feel.

[@blitzspanksfanboibutcantpl132]

One of the major reasons they do remakes, I feel, is to be relevantly perform these songs live and showing people how they have changed and at the same time evaluating themselves. I mean, kyo is no longer a 20ish person in angst anymore so he can't really bring those emotions in live either. He is matured now, and so has the song.

[@juanibanez4439]

Shut the hell up lol. It sounds good to me.

[@juanibanez4439]

@@hwang759 uhhhhhh..... Dir en grey - Riyuu!!!

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

I don't like it that much either. Most of it is fine, I guess, but the vocals in the chorus really ruin it for me. Like...compare this to the performance from the Mode of Macabre tour. Kyo gets really into the music and puts so much emotion into it. Here, they completely sterilized him by laying the vocals so much. I don't understand why they thought it was a good idea?

[@DavidScorcelletti]

Old version is way better, then again that is the case with most of their remakes for me. Do you also plan on uploading "Kigan" and "The Deeper Vileness"?

[@rabidrobbie]

Undecided and Macabre were both better for me. I like both versions of Zan. The Obscure remake is an abomination. Tsumi to Kisei isn't even the same song.

[@DavidScorcelletti]

Yeah, the Obscure remake has literally everything missing that made the original so great.

[@fangkingentertainment7005]

They're already uploaded

[@Patuffson]

I think both versions of Obscure are great and that is just bc they are very different, very different vibes. And look: we can still listen to both of them!!! Wow! So just stop moaning.

[@konobuzoggu239]

[@igornorado]

The name is "Wake"

[@crown_clown]

Both names can be used.

[@igornorado]

@@crown_clown If you don't know the name of the song

[@crown_clown]

@@igornorado they both mean reason/motive, they are used differently depending on the context but still the kanji can be read either way.

[@igornorado]

@@crown_clown Exactly. It would be the same if you named your song "Reason" and I called it "Motive" because I decided I want to. The kanji is read Riyuu, but Kyo used it as Wake. He did the same in Tsumi to Batsu. You can check the english version of the official site.

[@crown_clown]

@@igornorado the basic meaning still remains the same, they are just synonyms. People often tend to name the song both ways because of the kanji, there's nothing more to it.
