DIR EN GREY - ザクロ 

Fuck yeah man.

It is Kyo. Magic. That simple.

Correction, Slipknot is just like a Dir En Gray North American

@@dorothyaebutcher7103 and Kaoru - the heart of the band

my first thought on this song was 'vermillion pt2 bloodstone mix by slipknot' 😁

That's what i love about music, you don't need to understand what he is singing. You can just feel it either way * - * Love Kyo...........

@mawari mawaru my feelings were right!

@@toumabunshin7998 I wish I was friends with him, so I could learn from him

I dont love you

Same

It's a blessing haha

I know ... I love the future

Mushi is my cat's name. Now i go.

す、凄いw

風間咲紅蘭 メンバーより聴き込んでると思う、、すごい、、

I agree

Good point. This is why I love Kyo.

The most interesting part about this performance is how he changed the lyrics in the end part. The "original" lyrics are basicly just a very painful and creeping end that doesn´t seem to give any silver lining, in this performance however, while not being exactly positive, he still puts out a bit of a silver lining, making this a still hard and painful but a "completed" goodbye. That´s what I always loved about Dir En Grey, the first two years of hearing them I never bothered looking up lyrics, when I finally did, turned out the songs where exactly about the stuff I was thinking they where, and which is,to this day, fascinating to me is. Kyos ability to put a bit of a "silver lining", I would call it "positivity" but its not really that, into very sad songs. He is one of few people I know of that can be optimistic, pessimistic and a realist at the same time.

To me, the best music comes from those who can use their music to elicit those emotions and inject them into their work. Music resonates best when it comes from the hearts and minds of the musicians. By my standards, any one piece can only benefit from musicians who put all of themselves into their music. I think that's why I used to listen to a lot of Marilyn Manson when I was in high school and college. I still enjoy his slower paced, more thought provoking songs because I feel in his own way he also expressed his emotions through music well and the kind of problems I was going through back then caused me to recognize that. I feel Kyo, as well as Dir En Grey as a whole, do this more naturally and successfully than even M.M. Even though I don't speak or understand Japanese, I've never felt the need to look up any of Dir En Grey's lyrics because the emotions expressed within their music (especially Kyo's voice) are already self-explanatory and deliver all the emotional resonance I could ask for.

@@loneronin6813 An interesting outlook on the feel and possible meaning of DEG songs. I feel like I can relate to that. I feel like you expressed why I keep coming back to this band.

@@tarasbulba4512 Thanks so much for your comment :D It's cool to hear from someone who shares a similar outlook. I hope that you're doing well in all aspects of life and that you're having a great day.

Their costume design must be somewhat inspired by Marilyn Manson right?

@@suyo3380It's actually not hahah he said it a long time ago he really doesn't like Marilyn. And also I don't find their costumes similar to Manson.

​@@anitarajkovic3801​ Their costumes are very similar to Manson's, lol. Kyo's just a dick. He also said that he lies in interviews sooooooo.

@@suyo3380 wrong. Other way around

its never late to appreciate sth

welcome to the world that is dir en grey. Zakuro is one of the older songs, if I'm not mistaken, a part of the Macabre album. if you like this sound, you'll like Macrabe, trust me

@@someone1111 Zakuro is an amazing song and the whole macabre album is very good

jb youngfr the lyrics are beautiful but absolutely heartbreaking. There’s subtitled versions on RU-vid but u can also google it. It’s about a girl slitting her Wrists and crying over a lover etc

my words!

Music conveys emotion beyond words.

@@DenisAshton whats the song title in romaji then so we can look it up

@@fermentingdragon It's been three weeks so you may have found the answer but the song is called "Zakuro" which means pomegranate.

わかる気がする。 最高傑作と言われてるUroborosも初めて聞いた時マカブラっぽいなと思ったし、初期のDirの狂気が詰め込まれまくってる気がする。

テクニックとかじゃないですよね

愛することが…怖い。

そう不思議な事でもないと思います 自己の事、他者の事、色々考える人に響くのが京さん達の表現なのではないかと私は思います

the Japanese audience at concerts always remain very silent when the band is playing a slow/sad song .. I think that very interesting lol

@@jhonnyxd1041 yeah, I think silence shows gratitude of the audience even better than the applause

Screaming and shouting during songs like this one is disrespectful, it's like interrupting someone talking to you! And they are talking to the audience! I wish I can go see them in Japan

sしーゆ 歌とは到底呼べない低レベルなゴミアイドルばっかだよね

Zakuro is japanese meaning "pomegranate"

ユウバリ 永遠探してる、って、。 わらけました( ´ ▽ ` ) 見つかることを祈ります！

おお、そうでしたか😂😂 俺マカブラってMD（笑）でしか持っておらず、何故かムカつく事にザクロ辺りの所がバグっており、いつの頃からかしっかりきけておらず再認識した次第でございます🤤

どうしても書き込まずにはいられず 最後の こぉぉ、こぉろおぉぉっっっはぁぁぁあああああああ！！！！！！ がヤバイですね。

名曲ですやん！！

GOOSEBUMPS

check out Macabre and Beth Roars Reacts to it

I've been following since around they first released Macabre, when JESSICA was released some months later as a brand-new single. I probably have it somewhere. His voice was SO different in these "new" live videos, I actually thought it was a cover except for the telltale guitar. It doesn't sound like him at all! His breathing support and diaphragm work has paid off significantly since then. You wouldn't know that he had a severe ear injury some years ago and had to cancel concerts because of it. He could barely stand up. It was so bad. And they're so strong now! I went to their concert when they came to America some years ago- amazing. You're in for a real treat!

この曲に関しては昔の方が重かったと思う

What do you mean Kyo? The entire band is doing an amazing job!

わかる

This song taught me what "becomes ashes" and "I love you" in Japanese

FlauTouw omg, same!

well he lost the young angst he had and it is now replaced by more maturity I guess. The solo is nice this time around though but the unplugged version from 2007 was also a great rendition

I agree. If I could go back in time to see a concert it would be blitz 5 days!! Kyo was 110% channeling the soul of this song. Sad thing is I think I was in Japan at the time but was stupid and just didn't know. (And was probably busy anyway)

I like the pain in my heart when I listen to this song.

What is this song called tho?

可愛いw
