Preface : I checked DIR EN GREY's OHP a little while ago and saw that there was this interview with Shinya on mysound. I also enjoy playing boardgames with my friends, so I was excited to read this interview! I hope you enjoy it, too.

Preface : I claim NO ownership on the lyrics or their translations below. Kyo wrote the lyrics, and someone named Jewels is credited in the lyrics booklet as the translator. I've only translated the song titles, and a few other things. You can find more information of that at the end, in the notes section.

Preface : Another belated update! I picked up DIR EN GREY's new album last week, and have put some thoughts together on it. It was a bit of a challenge, and I don't know all the fancy music-lingo, so please forgive me for generic thoughts and feelings.
