Just before their high school graduation, Hajime lost his virginity to his best friend Hanatarou. Soon afterwards, Hanatarou disappeared from his life without a word. Three years later he's back…but as a cross-dresser! Hajime is dumbfounded, but have his feelings really changed?
The confused love between two earnest, awkward men.
Is it just me or did Kyo make a mistake singing Ain't Afraid to Die in this new DVD ;(? I loved the song obviously just noticed that little detail although the climax of the song is phenomenal.
Now will Oboro ever sing well? I know he puts a lot of feeling into it which I always love but I'd like to hear it in a clean tone x(((
By the way I've always wanted to ask you what are your favorite live songs?
For example I loved too much when Kyo sang in Galacaa's performance of Rinkaku's Desperate Tour I think He sounds amazing as always but in that performance He really blew me away because He does something with his voice that I loved too much I don't know if anyone noticed :P too!
Sorry for the late reply!
You're totally correct, Kyo confused these two paragraphs in the second half of the song:
"Madobe ni hitori kiri de tada yuki o mitsumeteru kimi o omoidashi nagara
Garasugoshi ni kimi o ukabe saigo no kuchizuke shite…
Nadaraka na oka no ue yuruyaka ni yuki ga furu todokanai to wakatte mo
Kimi no heya ni hitotsu daisuki datta hana o ima…"
The result might be something like: "On top of the gently sloping hill the snow falls slowly, as I start thinking of you
Behind the glass... one... kiss you"
Oh well, can you blame him? The memo sheet must have been full, that song has a lot of lyrics compared to some of Dir en grey's other songs and the paragrphs have the same melody sometimes.
Oboro, I wonder if it was "normal" even the first time it was played hah. It seems like there is no way it will ever be dialed down. At the same time, with Kyo, you know that if he sings a song completely identical to the studio recording, then he really does not feel it. Case in point: a majority of the Gauze and Missa songs.
As for my favourite live songs, hm... As you might have noticed, I am very partial to the live performance of The Perfume of Sins because of those growls. Otherwise... Keigaku no yoku especially with a mute audience? The Deeper Vileness and Behind a vacant image for all the headbanging? But I still foster a fascination for the Brazil show where Kyo acted the Blossoming Beelzebub so damn magically. Eternally grateful that somebody filmed it!

Esta canción
此の歌を

Que florece en el trono,
跪き喰らえMy Believer
Hizamazuki kurae My Believer
Arrodíllate y recíbela, mi creyente
快楽の極限を
Kairaku no kyokugen o
¿Quieres conocer
知りたくないか?
Shiritakunai ka?
Los límites del placer?
王冠に飽きた代償に
Oukan ni akita daishou ni
A cambio de la corona de la que estás cansado,
神の堕とした羊を飼おう
Kami no otoshita hitsuji o kaou
Cuidaremos de las ovejas de Dios descarriadas
足置きよりも心地よく
Ashioki yori mo kokochiyoku
Les daremos el derecho de sentir
貴様らに感じる権利をやろう
Kisamara ni kanjiru kenri o yarou
Una comodidad mayor que la de un reposapiés
世界が傾き
Sekai ga katamuki
El mundo estaba hundiéndose
我らは生まれた
Warera wa umareta
Y entonces nosotros nacimos
愛の起源は何か?
Ai no kigen wa nanika?
¿Cuál es el origen del amor?
その身体へと教えよう
Sono karada e to oshieyou
Vamos a enseñárselo a tu cuerpo
差し出せ…躾の時間だ
Sashidase… Shitsuke no jikan da
Entrégate… Llegó la hora de disciplinarte
捧げるなら与えよう
Sasageru nara ataeyou
Si te ofreces a nosotros, te otorgaremos
蕩けるようなクチヅケを
Torokeru youna kuchizuke o
Un beso que parecerá hechizarte
爪を立てて狂うがいい
Tsume o tatete kuruu gaii
Está bien que nos entierres las uñas y enloquezcas
喜ぶ声を聴かせよ
Yorokobu koe o kikase yo
Así que déjanos oír tu voz llena de gozo
太陽と
Taiyou to
Con el sol
宵月に
Yoizuki ni
Y la luna del atardecer
抱かれる刹那の果てに…
Dakareru setsuna no hate ni...
Abrazándote apasionadamente al final de este momento…
花には花の散り方が
Hana ni wa hana no chirigata ga
Así como se habla sobre la forma en que las flores se dispersan,
人にも同じことが言えよう
Hito ni mo onaji koto ga ieyou
Lo mismo puede decirse de la gente
堕落と悲観の連鎖に
Daraku to hikan no rensa ni
Aprende que no hay nada de belleza
美しさなど何もないと学べ
Utsukushisa nado nanimo nai to manabe
En las cadenas de depravación y pesimismo
されど運命は
Saredo unmei wa
Aún así, el destino
嘲笑いながら
Azawarai nagara
Se burla
愛の矛盾(メビウス)の中
Ai no mebiusu no naka
Mientras está en una contradicción* de amor
奇跡を探して…彷徨う
Kiseki o sagashite… Samayou
Deambulemos… Y busquemos un milagro
信じよ…我らの信念(オンガク)を
Shinji yo… Warera no ongaku o
Cree… En nuestra música
従うなら授けよう
Shitagau nara sazukeyou
Si nos obedeces, te concederemos
痺れるようなエツラクを
Shibireru youna etsuraku o
Un placer que parecerá adormecerte
我らの名を叫ぶがいい
Warera no na o sakebu ga ii
Está bien que grites nuestros nombres
甘美なる夢の先へ
Kanbi naru yume no saki e
Más allá de un dulce sueño
永遠を…
Eien o…
Por siempre...
一瞬を…
Isshun o…
Y por un instante...
全ての歴史を共に
Subete no rekishi o tomo ni
Juntos por toda la historia
夜空を楽譜に
Yozora o gakufu ni
Con el cielo nocturno como una partitura
星を散りばめて
Hoshi o chiribamete
Llena de estrellas,
終止符など忘れて
Shuushifu nado wasurete
Olvídate del final
心のままに酔いしれよ
Kokoro no mama ni yoishire yo
Y embriágate tanto como quieras
感じろ…躾の時間だ
Kanjiro… Shitsuke no jikan da
Siéntelo… Llegó la hora de disciplinarte
捧げるなら与えよう
Sasageru nara ataeyou
Si te ofreces a nosotros, te otorgaremos
蕩けるようなクチヅケを

Notas:
*En esta parte, mientras usan el kanji de “contradicción”, lo que cantan es “Mebius”. Con esto se refieren a la banda de Moebius es una superficie con una sola cara y un solo borde. Se forma tomando una cinta y juntando sus extremos, pero girando uno de ellos media vuelta antes de pegarlos. Y supongo que entra en este contexto como un sinónimo de “contradicción” ya que, dadas su propiedades, se le puede describir como “un objeto que desafía el sentido común”.

Yamaguchi Momoe Lyrics: Fuyu no Iro (冬の色; The Color of Winter)
English translation and romanization below the cut. This is a special gift to @theysbian as part of my December giveaway :) Thank you for a fun year!
ENGLISH
You forgave me for the color of my lipstick
It smells fainter than even bitter orange blossoms
We don’t even so much as kiss. Our pure love affair
Must seem unnatural to other people
Any time you feel sad,
I’m always off somewhere crying too
There are no openings in my loving feelings for you
For doubt to even enter
You’re somebody I could introduce
To my closest friends with a smile...
I could feel your almost offhand love for me
In the letter you gave to me
A luxurious sort of love affair that doesn’t leave me wanting for happiness
Isn’t something you see every day, now is it?
If you were to die out of the blue,
I’m sure I’d follow right after you
There’s simply no time for me to feel any hesitation
About my loving feelings for you
I’d wait for you, even if I were to find you
Hanging out with someone else...

Well, first of all thank you for thinking I could provide good music recommendations!
I'm not sure I actually can do this very well honestly lol, especially considering I have no specific idea of what genre you prefer but I'll try
As you can see from my blog I have a few favs -
let me start with Dir en grey. My favorite albums are Uroboros, Dum Spiro Spero and Vulgar but I definitely like them all lol (this is why I'm bad at recs). A good one to start with would be Arche I think though. Some songs from every album: Ruten no Tou, Tefutefu, Vinushka, Bottom of the death valley, RED... [em], Rinkaku, Macabre, [KR] Cube (most iconic pv tbh), Byou 「」 Shin, raison d'etre, Garden, Namamekashiki ansoku, tamerai ni hohoemi, Kodou, Ranunculus (also if you're from Europe their whole discography is now on Spotify!)
Another favorite band is BUCK-TICK and my favorite album from them (although it's hard to choose) is 13kai wa Gekkou. These are some songs I really like - Coyote, Embryo, Kuchizuke, Dress (a classic), Long Distance Call (get ready to cry), Love Letter (epic pv), Taiyou ni korosareta (definitely recommend this one a lot), Sasayaki, Misty Blue, MAD, Aku no Hana (one of their most popular song in Japan as far as I know), Romanesque, this live of ...In Heaven... + Moonlight, Romance - there's so many good songs I'm not including but I don't want this to be too overwhelming it already is
I also recommend listening to Vanishing Vision by X Japan - Sadistic Desire, Kurenai, Stab Me In The Back, this live of Orgasm - and definitely check out their early lives, they're great
From Luna Sea, although I haven't listened to their whole discography yet I definitely recommend Image and Eden and also the Gravity single - Image, Jesus, My Lover, Anubis, Mechanical Dance, Inside You, Wish
Same thing with Dead End but I do recommend their albums Shambara (the full album used to be on Youtube but I can't find it anymore) and Zero - Serafine (I love this song), Psychomania, Blood Music, Luna Madness, Perfume of Violence, Night Song
I guess I'm just gonna leave a few other albums I've been listening to here: hide - Hide Your Face, deadman - In the Direction of Sunrise and Nightlight, 9GOATS BLACK OUT - devils in bedside, D'erlanger - La Vie en Rose, Soft Ballet - Earth Born, L'Arc~en~Ciel - Dune, MUCC - Homura Uta, lynch. - Gallows, Sukekiyo - Immortalis
That's not all but it's already a lot so I apologize
I hope you find something you like! And if you need any more information about one of the bands just let me know~
