 Formed in 1997, with the sole purpose to spread the feeling of hurt and sorrow caused by weakness, shallowness and egoism of humanity.
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. Thus signing them to a major record label. They debuted releasing 3 singles at once, very rare for a newcomer.
Of course, all 3 songs hit the top 10 on the charts.After that, all their releases would hit the top 10 on the charts proving that more and more people were sympathizing with their lyrics.
In 2002, their fame hit all of Asia. During their Asia Tour they traveled to Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shanghai. And in Shanghai, public safety officers had to be called in 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 a cry also a message.
Now, Dir en grey has changed its target from Japan to the World.
From their unstable beginning, the band itself has gone through many changes and revolutions. It is clear that their music is their tool to send out a message, and they have only just begun. **information taken from the official Dir en grey website**

Diru is not my favorite band, but they're VERY high on my list. (Probably at #2... >.>)
I'm so glad to be sharing my passion with other Diru fans! A lot of my close friends don't like Diru that much because they say that they're music is 'too hardcore'. They like the softer songs like 'Yokan' and 'Cage', though. ^^ Then, I have my other friends who I have converted into hardcore fans. Those friends have converted their friends into Diru fanatics. It's a chain reaction. ^^
It is my master plan to convert every rock loving person in my town into Diru fans. The main rock station in my city has a charity event where anyone can bring in a CD and they will play any song the person wants them to...for five bucks. It's all good though. Guess what I'm bringing... >.<
Is there any particular song I should make them play? I'm willing to pay more to make them play more songs...

Dir en grey makes it Huge in America! You may have to scroll down on the side bar until you see Kaoru and Shinya, but the video is great! And Shinya looks wonderful!
