Band Members
I listen to a lot of bands and sometimes I would take "hiatuses" with some bands. And that's pretty normal.
Sometimes a band would get me interested but then I won't listen to them anymore. Sometimes I'd appreciate a band but don't really get into their music. Sometimes I'd listen to a band, leave them for a while as I listen to other bands, then get back to listening to them again.
But sometimes, I'd stick with a band no matter what. No matter if I left them for a period to get my variety needs and listen to other bands, I would always go back to this band. This band who gets me. The music and the message that this band, Dir En Grey convey fit me well.
In the past, I've listened to some bands thinking that 'this is it'. But I was totally wrong. When I got into Dir en Grey, I delved deeper into them, I realized that they are the only ones who get me, either musically for emotionally.
Now, before anyone accuses me of being a pervert or a deviant, allow me to clarify. As I said, the music part of Dir en Grey fits with me well. Their melodies, guitar riffs, drumming, singing... everything musical - fits with me. And by that, I mean that that was what I was searching for, it's what I was needing to hear, see, and feel. Emotionally, I mean that most songs (minus the songs about rape and other sick modes) such as Kasumi, The Final, Vinushka, Bugaboo, Diabolos, Tousei, and so on... I get the message even though I don't understand the lyrics fully. This play with words also fits with me because I like that mystery of figuring out what things mean and interpreting it based on your own understanding. I don't see bands that do this and does it well like Diru.
Diru's music is very different from the generics of western music that we get nowadays. Music can get so boring when it becomes generic, which is why I don't stick to many western bands. This is not all of them, but most of them sound the same with each album, with only one popular song which then becomes a single and the rest becomes boring and generic fillers. I like bands who change their sound yet retains their essence and I believe Diru does it well. Their music sounds so complicated, from the guitars to the bass to the drums to the vocals.... Sometimes I cannot fathom how good they are. I'm not trying to butter them up here, this is my honest opinion. They are versatile yet true to themselves. They don't conform to the masses yet succeeds to deliver. You cantell how much I adore this band.
One thing that I noticed that the band members don't really talk to each other nowadays. Kyo said this in an interview and I've watched other interviews that implies this as well. But it's important to note that it's not because they hate each other (because then they would've split) but actually, they always meet up and they've always travelled together on tours, living at close proximity with one another that it becomes necessary to find your private space.I agree to this because I would want to spend some time with other company or woth my solitude. I totally understand it when Kyo said that they don't hate each other, they just don't talk about small matter anymore. I think it's because they've grown up together and have been through so many things with each other. I remember that the member equate it to being like family members. Each band member admits that they are all like family members, they've gone past the line of friendship and it has become something more than that. I know, that sometimes I don't talk to my family members for days, weeks even but we still care about each other. Sometimes I don't talk to my friends for months, but we're still best friends. It's actually something like that. I think they are loyal to each members and to the band. They work well together and I believe they are musical soulmates because when they work on something together and produces music with Dir En Grey, it becomes something amazing, different, and true to the image. I've seen their other solo projects but I didn't get them, I think Diru's music is what a great marriage of their talents represents.
So no, the band members don't hate each other. It's not that they are not prioritizing Diru (because I think in many interviews that they would always go to Diru), more like,they're like a married couple who'd seen successes and hardships together.
