Yesterday (28/3/2024) I saw Dir en grey at their Oberhausen live. Am gonna make two posts, one about the meet & greet/merch and one about the live. Starting off with the meet and greet!

I’ve been a fan since 2005/2006? I saw the live first in 2006 when they came to Europe to do Rock am Ring and uhhh yeah it’s been nearly 20 years of having these crazy guys in my life.

So, on to yesterday! We arrived and my friend is in a wheelchair so we had to take a special entrance. We also got handed our vip bags in the normal line, which are so cute!! Really in love with the design on the drawstring bag. We were a bit stressed cos the meet and greet started at 6 and they only went to get us at this door at 6, but it was okay. We were lead through the backstage area and I was trying to pay attention to pushing the chair but my friend caught a glimpse of them backstage ahh!!

Before I really realized what was happening we we’re standing inside the venue and the boys were already there behind their table, ready for the meet and greet. My mind kind of went in overdrive as I realized they were already RIGHT THERE. We joined the line and it all went to fast.

First was Shinya, then Die, Kyo, Kaoru and Toshiya. Since Shinya was first I was still having some kind of outer body experience and hardly registered anything. I think I told all of them Thank you!? I hope I did. Shinya was wearing big sunglasses. Die was next and all I remember thinking was wow, he’s so gorgeous. He said thank you in English. He was also wearing big diva sunglasses. Kyo was in the middle and he was wearing a hat, sunglasses and a very long trenchcoat. Honestly he looked uncomfortable, but no bag on his head this time! It was more I could have ever asked for. I’m kinda upset I didn’t look at his hands better as he handed me the card. Kaoru was after him and the only one near wearing sunglasses. This man looked me straight in the eyes and it’s the thing I remember most of the whole meet and greet…. Gosh… *fans self*. He was wearing a baggy double denim fit with a blue baseball cap. Toshiya was last, he was the most smiley out of all of them and wore slightly tinted glasses. I think he wore a grey turtle neck with a necklace over it? The signed cards they gave us are beautiful, but unfortunately I didn’t get any crazy drawings of Kyo.

After that we got our spot at the barricade and I kept sneaking glances backwards at the boys still doing their meet and greet and finishing up. After that I decided to go to buy merch since prio and normal entry weren’t being admitted yet and my friend held my spot.

I bought 3 blind gift bag things, 1 for my friend and 2 for me. I got a Kaoru keychain and a GRIEVE pink and blue sweatband. I also bought 4 lucky charms, 2 for my friends and 2 for myself. My Uroboros one contained a signed paper by Kyo and gods, I’m so indescribably happy with it!

Onto post two for the gig review!

VULGAR

Artist: Dir En Grey

Subgenre(s): Kote Kei, Loud Kei, Eroguro

Rating: 4/5

Standouts: audience KILLER LOOP, OBSCURE, CHILD PREY, AMBER

dir en grey! i love these guys. such a good album! each song has the same energy and vibe i suppose? but they are each unique enough that you don’t get bored of listening, or feel like it’s repetitive.

this album had very strong opening and ending tracks, both very appropriate for the end and beginning of an album of this nature. kyo has AMAZING screams and groans and can transition perfectly to his beautiful singing voice and still make it work.

the instrumentals are all i’ll ever need in this life, i love how different dir en grey is with their music and how they’re not afraid to experiment with shit. they don’t care about anything (to an extent, lol) and i love it. heavy and angry in many parts, just how i like it. amazing album!

also CHILD PREY is constantly getting stuck in my head.
