The 2014 Soundwave Festival will kick off on February 22 at Brisbane's RNA Showgrounds, and will make its way around Australia, including Sydney's Olympic Park, Melbourne's Flemington Racecourse, Adelade's Bonython Park, and Perth's Claremont Showground. The Festival will be headlined by Green Day and Avenged Sevenfold, while DIR EN GREY will be performing in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.
It will be DIR EN GREY's first time in Australia, and they have this to say about the invitation to perform at the event: "We are already looking forward to meeting our fans who have been waiting for us all this time in Australia and to how we will be spending time with the Australian audience".
Once they return to Japan, they will be having concerts at the Nihon Budokan on March 8 and 9. "This will be the culminating event for DUM SPIRO SPERO so we are hoping to pour our feelings into this as well".

They don't have makeup anymore now, and they're just your ordinary big bros
今月の全米ツアーのみたいだけど
全然普通の兄ちゃんじゃないｗｗｗｗｗ
These seem to be from last month's American tour, but they don't seem like your ordinary big-bros to me wwwww
Deranged
Is Kyo-san's throat alright?

Aren't Luna Sea the guys who look like ordinary big bros without any makeup on?
Or GLAY.
So they won't be going to tour around Japan and just go straight to the Budokan?
They're still pretty amazing, huh
The guy at the center looks like an old dude...
So the vocalist took his makeup off, huh. He's small and lame so he should put more of that.

Their first week sales in the US.
That's probably the limit now for Japanese bands.
Anyway, other Japanese musicians can't even enter the charts like DIR, so they're even lower than them.

These are their sales elsewhere
Germany and France: 30,000
Finland: 15,000

一位はドイツのラムシュタイン
I heard that DIR EN GREY is 2nd all time who have sold in the US who do not sing in English. 1st is Germany's Rammstein.
You mean "in the metal scene", right?
それでも他の日本のバンドに比べたら売れてる方だな
海外で活動する日本人バンドといえば
最近だとボーニンゲンがBig Day Outに出るな
They're working hard, but it seems that they're not being treated that well yet overseas. But they're still more successful than the other Japanese bands. And when talking about Japanese bands who are active abroad, there's BO NINGEN who will be at the Big Day Out.
行ったり来たりできらい
I wonder what they want to do.
They just come and go, I dislike that.

- >>49何がしたいって、ライヴがしたいんだよ
文化人気取りもキャラじゃないし、TV番組のエンディング等のタイアップも今は特に望んでいない、カラオケ印税欲しさにウケの良い無難な曲を狙って作らない
日本の音楽業界に期待もしていない、ただライヴで表現したいんじゃないかと思うよ
今後は各個人のソロ活動も視野に入れるんだろうけど基本はライヴだよ
What they want to do? They want to perform live.
They're not acting like cultured people, nor do they want some TV tie-ups like those ending songs for programs.
They're not making safe songs that aim for karaoke royalties. They're not expecting anything from Japan's music industry. They just want to perform live. I think they're also looking at the possibility for each member to do some solo work, but I think they just want to perform live.
だが個人的には好き（だった）特にギャップがね
Their visuals and their songs were all influenced by Marilyn Manson.
But I personally like(d) them. Especially that gap.
http://radio1075.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/dir-en-grey.jpg
I used to listen to them a lot when I was a middle schooler.
Yeah, when I was in middle school.
テレビでれなくなって消えたとしか思ってないだろ
Non-fans must think of them only as this group who ran berserk on Music Station, lost the right to appear on TV and disappeared.
ちょっと見なおした
The crowd is pretty worked up www
I think I changed my view of them.
俺的ドリアングレイベストアクト
ライブで毎回これぐらいのクオリティだったらなあ・・・
This is personally my favorite DIR EN GREY act.
If only they could recreate this kind of quality at their concerts every time...

Do they still play "Yokan" at their recent gigs?
I like that so I want to watch if they still do.

- >>66予感はやらないがアクロの丘はたまにやる
They don't do Yokan, but they still do "Akuro no oka" every once in a while
They're a band whom the metalheads hate for some reason
・インディーズで売上・動員等トップ総ナメ
・９８年 インディーズラストライブが日本武道館ｗ（ミュージシャンの夢、日本武道館をメジャーデビュー前にやる）
・９９年 メジャーデビューはシングル３枚同時発売（ちなみにラルクは３枚同時発売まで７年かかりました）
・９９年 １stアルバムではV系で頂点に立ちつつ、同時に予感、CageなどのJ-POPナンバーでも日本の頂点に
・００年～０１年 ２nd～３rdアルバムでもＶ系のトップに君臨しつつも、V系に飽きはじめる
・０２年 アジアツアーで世界進出
・０３年～０４年 Ｖ系の王者を返上し、ヘビーロックの世界へ 欧米進出 世界のロックフェスで認められる
・０５年 メンバー全員がノーメイクに。ある意味Ｖ系時代の否定とも取れるが、Ｖ系のはるか先を歩いている証拠
ちなみにメイクをやめた理由についてはこう語っている。
「もっと自分たちの内面を表現していきたいと思い始めた時に、そういう(派手な)格好をしていると、どんな気持ちで演奏しても同じに見えてしまうような気がした」
「派手な格好では逆に曲に負けているような感じがして」
・０６年 アメリカ進出→欧州ツアー→北米ツアー
海外で５０００人規模の会場を完売させる。
「Rock im park」で日本人では初めてメインステージ。
アメリカ進出はデビュー時のプロデューサーYOSHIKI率いるXの悲願であったがX達成できないまま解散
Dirがアメリカ進出し、Dirが作った道を再結成したXが歩いてXもアメリカ進出。親孝行すぎるDir。
・０７年 完全な世界的アーティストに 全世界でライブ１２１本 アルバムは１１か国同時発売
・０８年 アルバム制作、海外ツアーで多忙な中でも「hide memorial summit」に出演。恩知らずのGLAYとの格の違いというか徳の違いを見せつける。以降GLAYは「あの人は今状態に・・・」
・０９年 アルバム『UROBOROS』を世界17カ国で同時発売。ビルボードチャートにもランクイン
ライブツアー１５か国９９本
・１０年 ライブＤＶＤも世界１７か国で同時発売
・１１年～ ８thアルバム～ワールドツアー もう完全に世界のDir en greyに。
Simple summary of Dir's history
* Conquers all Indies sales charts and crowd attendance records.
* 98: Last concert as an indie band at the Budokan (They get on the Budokan stage, the dream of every musician, even before their major debut).
* 99: Major debut with 3 singles simultaneously released (It took L'Arc 7 years to release 3 simultaneous singles).
* 99: They stand on top of the V-kei world with their 1st album, and also on top of the Japanese charts with their J-POP numbers "Yokan" and "Cage".
* 00~01: They still stand on top of the V-kei world with their 2nd and 3rd albums, but start getting sick of V-kei.
* 02: They step into the world stage with their Asian tour
* 03~04: They surrender their V-kei throne and take a more heavy rock approach. They go to Europe and the US and become recognized by participating in worldwide festivals.
* 05: All members take their makeup off. It can be perceived that they're denying their V-kei roots, but it also proves that they're walking along the path that's far ahead of V-kei. This is their comment about ditching their makeup: "When we started thinking about expressing ourselves further, we realized that we won't be able to do that with all that flashy makeup and outfits on, and people will think that we're playing with the same emotions all the time".
"We started feeling that we're losing to the song with that kind of getup."
* 06: Breaks into the American scene→ European Tour → US Tour
Completely sells out arenas that has capacities of 5,000.
First Japanese to go on the main stage of Rock im Park.
Breaking into the US scene has always been the wish of their debut producer YOSHIKI, but X has disbanded without realizing that. After X's reunion, X traverses the path that Dir has paved and finally breaks into America. Dir are really loyal to their fore fathers.
* 07: They have entirely become international artists. 121 concerts around the world, while their albums were sold in 11 different nations.
* 08: Amidst their busy schedule of touring and songwriting, they still managed to participate at the 'hide memorial summit'. They show their difference in class with the ungrateful GLAY.
* 09: Album UROBOROS sold in 17 different countries worldwide. Ranks in the billboard charts. 99 live concerts in 15 different countries.
* 10: Live DVD sold in 17 different countries.
* 11~: 8th album ~ World tour. DIR EN GREY have totally turned into international stars.

I remember the bassist as someone with long limbs and as an ikemen, right?

今の世界で１位は取れなくても、続けることに意義が有ると思うし挑戦し続けて欲しい
Yes, Toshiya has amazing style and on top of that, he cares about the fans.
The vocalist Kyo may talk and act crazily from time to time, but I always thought that they're a band who cherishes their fans. They may not be No. 1 in the world now, but I think there's significance in them continuing this on, so I want them to keep on taking challenges.
I honestly won't get surprised anymore no matter what kind of international festival these guys perform at
とっくに解散してただろうな
シャイな兄ちゃん
背の高い普通の兄ちゃん
良くわからない人
あほの子
おかま
この面子で良く海外出てやってるほうだよ
Well, if they stayed in Japan and kept being Visual-kei, then they probably would have disbanded a long time ago.
A shy big bro.
A tall, normal big-bro.
A person who I can't understand.
A fool.
Gay.
They're doing pretty well internationally with these sort of members.

どっちかというとロック寄りだろ
メタルとロックの境い目が何なのか知らんけど
I like them but I've never thought of them as metal.
They're more inclined towards rock.
I don't know where the boundary between metal and rock lies, though.
こいつはもういつ死んでもおかしくないなｗｗｗｗｗ
When the vocalist hid the fact that he had a 40-degree (celsius) fever and proceeded with the concert.
It'll only be a matter of time until this guy dies wwwww

He's a pro so the show must go on, but people aren't machines so things like this occur.
