Dir en grey Yokan subtitled | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@vanessalein3176]

Guys, it makes my heart melt to see you discover their music. My band number 1 for almost 20 years now. Back in the days getting a CD copy was pure luck - and the other people at high school calling me freak for listening to J-Rock. Never regret ❤️

[@KoKoDWitch]

This is so old!! They are babies here 😭😭 But such a good song none the less. I recommend "The Final" & "Saku" from the Budoukan live

[@pinkowarumono]

My reaction anytime I see something that old 😂 babiiiies 😭

[@passio-735]

When a band releases a first LP where songs like this go hand in hand with songs like Mazohyst of Decadence, ZAN and Mask you know you found something special that you can only hope will stand the test of time to keep creating. Their first album really had so many awesome sounds that weren't at all 'typical' for Visual Kei at the time but I think you can still feel those roots very deeply within the album and see how they tried to capture and 'turn' the audience towards what would later be their most original work in my opinion. They change their look for every release or video and as they produced a pv for EVERY song on this album you find a bunch of them ^^ This is definitely and by far their most simple video when it comes to visuals but it still feels kind of iconic. Probably not to someone who did not grow up with Dir en grey or Japanese music in general but I think there are people who feel similar to this as I do ^^'' I think I could see your confusion there at the beginning and I always wish your reactions would be a bit longer so you could say a bit more about the song/ your experience of listening to it for the first time. You are two people there so I would kind of like to see you talk about it with each other for a little bit longer. But that's just the kind of reactions I personally prefer. I hope you have a good day

[@desolateleng9943]

I think they were always rather setting the trends than following them, even from the start! Maybe the MISSA era was a little more visually copying the older VK bands, but almost right away they found their own original self expression, I think. I love how the visual part is still suck an important of their artistry, though. The new Ochita koto no aru sora look is pretty amazing.^^

[@passio-735]

@@desolateleng9943 Well they started as a cover band so there must have been some 'following' ;) But you are right that you could hear their potential already in La:Sadie's and with MISSA - back when they didn't have enough money to buy McDonalds. After all, there must be a reason Yoshiki became aware of them and produced the singles for Gauze (ZAN, Yurameki and Akuro no Oka). I think both I'll and Jealous made it into the top 10 oricon charts which was pretty unusual for a new band at the time. So my original comment didn't aim to dismiss those early works. But then there were a LOT of bands in VK during that time that had a unique sound and concept. The diversity on Dir en grey's Gauze, however, could have really made people imagine a band that would evolve into all kinds of directions. Btw. Lu:Ciel is one of my favorite songs ever. The only thing that one is missing is Toshiya ^^'' And yes~ I am really glad they tossed those boring T-Shirts and addidas suits and incorporate awesome clothing into their art again :D New outfits are really beautiful; though I don't really like the mask on Shinya 😪

[@demidevil666]

I agree 100% with your position. :) I too grew up with VK and Dir en grey were one of those bands that helped me through many hard times during my teen years. Anyone else remember Kagerou, Vidoll, the GazettE? 2006-2008 was a magical time to be a VK fan in Europe.

[@Cthultystka]

I feel like the lack of discussion at the end of this song was kind of like "that was... interesting."

[@bakurachan]

懐かしすぎる💕

[@ハムスター定食大盛り]

I'm looking forward to it every time from Japan ❤︎

[@dudufaust]

old visual kei

[@makokoro9073]

You guys are awesome 😘 The guys from Dir en grey aren't just great musicians, but also great individuals, so down to earth.

[@acosmicopablojota103]

I love dir en grey , kyo old school 🔥🖤

[@ninya.]

I love this stuff, keep them coming. My heart is solely for Dir En Grey and Kyo when it comes to music. Hands down favorite.

[@onetymebigtyme]

the Gauze album days, Produced by Yoshiki such a good mix, such a beautiful 90's visual kei tone. CAGE is the best for me in my opinion

[@NoxArcani-z4u]

Cage is my favorite song

[@hungergamesspain]

Same here. Cage is a vibe, you could hear it all day.

[@CanalKizaru]

Yokan is my favorite song from their first 3 albums, thanks for the reaction! I want to recommend the song Conceived Sorrow its one of my favorite songs and you can find my favorite live version of it (with english subs) on my KZbin channel if you are interested. Keep up the Dir en grey reactions guys, great job!

[@_SixthDay_]

This is my favorite song from them, I miss this style.

[@Mutterschwein]

Oh man this song takes me back. I remember watching this music video over and over more than a decade ago on my sister's shitty laptop along with the other vkei music videos she downloaded lol

[@あおあお-z2o]

まさかの予感！

[@alexdotluna]

Nice reaction! Early Dir en Grey is very varied, in that same album, the song Zan is just mad. Please react to one of the biggest exponents of Visual Kei in Japan (and with very few reactions online): Malice Mizer - Bel Air (Live) or Shiroi (Live)!

[@xravenx24fe]

The new version of Zan off the Hageshisa single is one of the most chaotic and brutal songs they've ever recorded.

[@ajnazatahm]

Seconding Bel Air, esp the live version from the Merveilles l'espace concert

[@camelxravennova]

Malice Mizer is amazing

[@RedeemedNephlim24]

Fun fact: The tracks from Gauze were produced by Yoshiki Hayashi of X-Japan a founding band in the Japanese Rock movement.

[@BetterCallThall]

Look at those infectious smiles! Yall look so happy, I love it!

[@TheButterflyChaos]

Ahhh, their Visual kei days♥️

[@ardent7172]

very visual kei

[@悪魔の幽霊-t4z]

This is a very visual kei song 😁👍 I like old visual kei sound like in this one.

[@肩が凝るんや]

It was great reaction!! Please react to Different sense/DIR EN GREY!!

[@queenmandel5208]

Omg the song is so old., 😂I have to admit that I like the later songs more, but thank you very much for your reaction video❤️

[@joshen6010]

At first time I though it was a love song.But when I grew up and checked the lyrics,I realized the song is about lies.

[@doomboi7483]

If I was an anime character, I'd want this song for my opening

[@koolio4997]

I'd recommend reacting to the songs "Kodou" and "The final", the best for me.

[@YuM3Moroboshist]

Yeah this is one their greatest indies/alternative hits, Garden is another song you should react to. They perform live at Osaka jo hall and it has English subtitles.

[@hachihiruka9667]

Ayeeee this songg my favvvv ❤️❤️

[@floriank.675]

Love your reaction, Looks like that you always have fun, great work 👍 You should react to "Varg - Das Ende Aller Lügen"

[@cataclysmchildernsvoid3455]

They need to try the og zan and raison d'etre both are from there early years and both are amazing and a bit "wild"

[@makokoro9073]

Yes indeed

[@MabyyB]

Ah good old Visual Kei Dir En Grey.. Miss them days.

[@joshen6010]

This song is from Gauze Album.And it's very rare for them to play.

[@cjmcjmcjmcjm]

loved this song since high school! Also, your hair is a really pretty color Suzi!

[@xravenx24fe]

If you liked this song I'd recommend reacting to the songs Cage or Taiyou no Ao, they're both really great and catchy songs in a similar style off the same album but I think they're a lot more impactful than this one. Some of the more recent recorded lives of Taiyou no Ao in particular are really emotional and powerful.

[@ed9ar]

one of my favorite songs by them ever !! i recommend checking out the song “Akuro no oka” by them. the song was also in their debut album and that song got me into Dir en grey

[@edcielaludo6769]

It is Visual Kei mate same movement with X Japan as you can see they wearing a costume with a stylish hairs

[@martinignaciodonairevasque5519]

Hello!! Saludos desde Santiago de CHILE un abrazo!!! Reacción a DEVILOOF!! Please!

[@ohcomeongetoutofhere]

Now it's time for something from "The marrow of a bone" album.

[@NeinFeline]

I love this song... Damnit

[@o15ika]

Haha, yeah it's from their first album (technically the first LP but their first work was MISSA EP if you want to listen early sound) but also it's the one song that is unlike all the others... Great song, but not a good example of the album's sound overall.

[@kevinchavez8042]

One of my fav of them :)

[@valenciaanna35]

You got to listen to Berry by dir en grey or Zan both awesome

[@eh2bseries]

Holy throwback!!

[@shindaningen7442]

yokan is a quite unique song in dir en gray, their first album is very varied in musical styles, but to really see the musical change and the evolution of the band I recommend you listen to the 2 versions of kiri to mayu, the first is from the year 1997 (it is the first song of his first mini album) and the second that is a remake of the year 2012.

[@clarkme8952]

I think Dir En Grey is genius. Saw them live in Connecticut at the family values tour. Die the guitarist and Kaorou the other guitarist shook hand with fans that bought their album that day. Super soft hands😅

[@joshen6010]

Wow so lucky.Where was the family values tour played?I just know it is famous.

[@clarkme8952]

@@joshen6010 It was over ten years ago when I went. I was living in CT at the time. The lead band was Korn.

[@MaliceMizer16yoselin]

I like you reaction 🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏

[@rene.eljapobarber2172]

Maravilloso

[@acosmicopablojota103]

Saludos desde chile 🇨🇱

[@animalfarm84]

listen to it in concert, it sounds better: D. That song is old, so the style looks old, but live it sounds incredible.

[@BetterCallThall]

Btw this my favorite band ever lol I dont even listen to much japanese music

[@andymitchell3137]

Ahh the La Sadies era, good stuff. Some other good ones from this era are raison de etre, oka no aruka, I highy suggest diving into the marrow of a bone album tho. Its a hard hitting masterpiece.

[@passio-735]

This is already Dir en grey after becoming major (from 1999),la:sadie's were active between 1995-1997. They had a different bassist; Kisaki.

[@draculax1545]

I'd recommend "hageshisa to kono mune no naka de karamitsuita shakunetsu no yami" one of the betters they have

[@84rinne_moo]

Have you guys listened to MUCC? Try “kuukyo na heya” or “Libra”

[@koolio4997]

That is "Visual kei" style ^^
