One cold autumn day, four OC staff members sat brainstorming Great Ideas. Say, said one member, how about a feature on Dorje? We could do a travel diary on our road trip! Great scott! said a second. What a grand notion! The third, silent until then, suddenly said, what about....video. We could do video of our trip, thereby capturing the spirit of the thing. Yes, agreed the fourth. We could even put it together. We could make a documentary...
Thus, Dorje was born. We had no idea that our small suggestion of a feature on their short tour would turn into an epic (for us) venture.
We hope that members of OC.com will be able to catch some sense of what Dir en grey concerts are like here in Japan, (and how very barren Shinkiba is).

This was awesome girls! I wished I've been there T_T I was impressed you got so many japanese fans to talk to you o_o Might they be actually nice?! *gasp* /jk maa it'd be so cool if we could get long, the exchange of information would be even better :/ Lol at the desolated areas, although what bothers me is the ticket number organisation though >.> Well, can't wait to go back see them again *^^*

Ah, thanks for this. It was interesting to see the venues. It's great you found Jaoanese fans that were willing to talk to you.
See you in 2010 again, I'd say With Choya!

wow. Really great! Thanks for sharing this. I very much enjoyed watching it.
Rottingroot : @Risu, omg! i need this right now! waaah! ^o^)
Nao : @Risu Mash Potato Song FTW!
Risu : @rottingroot it shows his snares XDDD hahaha its definitely a must buy for people who play bass and drums. PLUS full bandscores for hageshisa~
TheBlindAssa : @ Risu.... wow he talks about that? then that makes me want to buy it even more! :D
Rottingroot : (oops got cut off) as soon as i get it, im going equipment shopping. a yamo chan smiley was supposed to be in there ^_~
Rottingroot : @Risu, aww i feel so special >o it, im going equipment shopping! :D
Risu : as for bass I havent read through the interview but Toshiya talking about how he met the other four made me want to cry hahahaha am such a sap!
Risu : @rottingroot you will definitely love the bass and drum book! *grins* the moment I saw the complete diagrams I remembered you XD
Rottingroot : wee bass and drums book!!! i cant wait to get mine!!! @Risu, is there anything your hoping Totchi would discuss about his bass ventures? im looking forward to shinya's new drum set arrangement. ^_^
Rottingroot : @Raven_Meadow, haha its okay, im not too worried about it, as long as it doesnt affect my drumming, @embrace, it started raining earlier today and hasnt let up! XD
embraceyouri : @rottingroot PA is about to be swamped with rain for four days T.T
Raven_Meadow : @Rottingroot : So sorry to hear that. :(
Rottingroot : i went to a back doctor today, due to my recent back injury, and i have scoliosis XD
Kameiko : can't play it till then.
Kameiko : @MrsNewsman - I don't get my PS3 till Thursday, so I can'
MrsNewsman : @kameiko @elloran how is the gameplay? I am not one for playing FF, but still, how is it going?
Elloran : @kameiko i have.. but you know that already *is mean* :D
Kameiko : ~just picked up FF13~ Gamestop had no party lame XD. Who also got their FF13 in? :O
CynToriko : YAY for compilation CDs that have DEG songs!!!
Rottingroot : Hello all. its overcast/ rainy in colorado. just breaking the ice here ;D
Risu : @rumpus hahaha hopefully this year I could at least play in a studio again T-T
rumpusaurus : @Risu: Haha, now that we've had this discussion, I really want my band to cover "Hageshisa", just so I can sing it XD
Risu : @embrace hahaha am just an amateur playing around I think its safe to say that as long as you have fun singing and you dont hurt your throat is fine ^^ I am not an absolute authority about growling but do just whatever you think is right I guess ^^
rumpusaurus : @embraceyouri: They are outward.
embraceyouri : @emirixxvii i can do dozing green but when i do the "hope" part its more of a scream than a shriek...last time i did that...i embarrassed myself very badly O.o @risu and rumpusaurus i always do my growls and screams outward but are the shrieks inward or are they outward as well?
rumpusaurus : @Risu: Yeah, I do everything outwards, you get more power and feeling that way. I refuse to cup the mic as well, so that\'s also why outwards helps a lot :D
Risu : @rumpusaurus hahaha you do it outwards? cool~ I do all of mine inwards ^^ then play with the mic to get the deep growls
rumpusaurus : @Risu: That's outwards, everything Kyo does is outwards, but I am not able to do that part quite so high (I'm best at deep growls), so I just do my highest possible scream.
Rottingroot : i always try to mimc kyo in Red Soil during his mad growl/shriek/scream/sputter breakdown. it never sounds the same hahaha
Risu : @rumpusaurus cool! i love doing Kyo's growl during the pause when he goes high then loooow. XDDD its my fave. but there's this part that I don't get before the "don't care about how you look" where he goes really high like shriek. is that outwards or inwards?
rumpusaurus : @Risu: Haha, there\'s more to it than sucking in air, you need lots of control over certain areas of your vocal chords and stomach, but once you have it, it\'s really easy. Btw, I\'ve got the Hageshisa growls down, really simple :D
MrsNewsman : Haha @Risu - I wish I could growl too. You are so cool. ^o^
Risu : lols its easy. just suck in air and growl XDDD its fuuuun.
warumono.kur : OMG you so rock I wish I could growl...
emirixxvii : I tried DOZING GREEN at karaoke once. Damn was it hard. D:
Risu : I love doing Kyo's growls and singing Hydra -666- at karaoke~ its fun to do his shrieks and then growl ^_^v trying to learn the Hageshisa growls XDDD
warumono.kur : Last saturday I sang Toguro in a karaoke :( wasn't that bad, except for the second chorus, it was kinda hard... if anyone is interested XD
MrsNewsman : @embraceyouri, sometimes I sing along with Repition, but only Toshiya's part, which just makes me laugh, because I try to get his facial expression too. It just isn't the same. D:
embraceyouri : @mrsnewsman, indeed i tried to sing along with repetition of hatred and my voice was totally blown for three days XDD @rottingroot is the new versailles album an import or can i get it at hot topic or something?
MrsNewsman : I don't even bother trying to sing along, to the newer stuff, it never works out. I just bang my head, and feel it.
Rottingroot : @Rumpusaurus, i shall do that ^^. Its the first monday of March, and is snowing in Colorado. How is everyone?
rumpusaurus : @ Rottingroot: If you do, I recommend the new album, "Those Whom the Gods Detest". All I have to say about it is that it's REALLY brutal, but also incredibly well written.
Rottingroot : @rumpusaurus, ah yes, singing to Uroboros would blow your voice XD. I never really listened to nile. i will have to give them a listen ^^
rumpusaurus : @Rottingroot: That sucks! I know the feeling, I used to blow my voice when I tried to sing Uroboros. Now I don\'t though because I practice with Nile. Perhaps you too should try playing Nile :D
Rottingroot : waah! i threw my back out drumming today! :( if anyone is interested, i was practicing Versailles's new album. tis a good album haha
embraceyouri : @risu that makes sense i guess
Risu : @everfree yes ^^ there is a bit of speculation going on who's a member of Hardy ^^ but we don't really have specific data on the identity of the Hardy members.
everfree90 : @Risu - like frpm others bands then? any well known? I have to look that interview up. ^^; thanks!
I was impressed you got so many japanese fans to talk to you o_o
Might they be actually nice?! *gasp* /jk maa it'd be so cool if we could get long, the exchange of information would be even better :/
Lol at the desolated areas, although what bothers me is the ticket number organisation though >.>
Well, can't wait to go back see them again *^^*
