Sorry this comment's gonna be a long one but Dir En Grey is amazing and it's difficult not to praise the hell out of them. I've been a huge Dir En Grey fan since 2006 and it's crazy to think back and remember how unfocused Kyo often was on stage. He could always sing well but he was often a spectacle of chaos and leaned more into theatrics rather than giving a lot of effort with his voice live. I believe it was around the time of Dum Spiro Spero when the shift began and their evolution as a band ascended a higher level. Kyo became a beast driven by sheer will power to make it through a vocal chord surgery and to come back better than ever and still continues to improve not just as a vocalist, but he's also become a full fledged artist in multiple mediums. Anyway if you want to see Kyo display the rawest performance driven by his commendable willpower you should check out the live performance of Decayed Crow the symphonic version from 2011. Kyo was sick as fuck and very clearly suffering the whole show and frustrated his voice wasn't cooperating with him. But for the last song they played Decayed crow and he literally gave it everything he had left in him. I think he was even hospitalized after the performance he pushed himself so hard. You never see anything like it from anyone else and that's why he's hands down my favorite vocalist

Dear Mr. Braden, Omg!! you absolutely made my day!! I didn't expect to see your reaction about them this fast, your reactions so far have been unique, deep and awesome, you sure don't know about being 1 of my 3 most favorite reacting channels(I honestly think of your channel as my most favorite out of the three!!!). Please keep up your awesome and cool work, and please never give up if some days later things around you make you feel empty or anything, I'll always strongly root for you 💪💪💪👏👏👏👏... Lastly, please don't give up on Dir en Grey yet, there are many hidden masterpieces of theirs that even I haven't listened to them yet but I know there definitely are, but as far as I listened to them all these years(from around 2009 till now) I found these metal songs of theirs below beautiful and amazing(I also love Vinushka, Tousei and Dozing Green as you do) So I guess these songs below might not make you want to run away like the one (or two) songs you felt before, Lol....Anyway, I deeply appreciate your consideration in filming yourself for the reaction of this beautiful song, I'll always and forever be waiting for the reactions of the other songs, these links below are the ones I searched for you and I tried choosing the best version of each song, please use these links if some days later you consider reacting to them, thank you in advance 🙇🩵💙🤍 -凌辱の雨 (Ryoujoku no ame) 👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNBnqbF4lrbSmYE.htmlsi=BkSFvIk9Ak4A4x8Q -Inconvenient Ideal 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5eYd8qfm82yfn0.htmlsi=QEXkmAY1GiHOZmwW -Dead Tree 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecmDaa5qv8vac6M.htmlsi=Y-gU6QFUo9xPMIyf -Lotus 👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9hdo8aKzpnHZI0.htmlsi=Wx6yspyJydeT15cK -24個シリンダー (24 Cylinders) 👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJ9_faqZqcvekas.htmlsi=rB0rK4fRcNDlKrws -Behind a vacant image 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hddnn5qrxLPMep8.htmlsi=HDsTSl7BRHEgpI-4 Kukoku no kyouon 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ostiorh9v93JmX0.htmlsi=F6oEMDoMD8_QGJXW -Saku👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ac-DnsuHq6yrlXk.htmlsi=jDetL1oNo-ZfZaU2 PS, I also love songs that are going in a heavy way but I tried to specifically find you the beautiful ones like how Vinushka and Tousei are, as some other songs(of Dir) you were reacting to before made you feel like stopping in the middle(it was understandable, since I felt almost the same, lol) so I carefully chose the masterpieces which are also heavy but in a beautiful way, lol

I still think you'd like The Insulated World overall (and I know you guys already did Uroboros and DSS). The first two songs on the album are pure heavy and even the ballads have heavy guitars. From their older albums I think some songs like Repetition of Hatred (specifically this performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ga2Ulaxmqt3ec58.html) might pique your interest. There's a live performance now of Schadenfreude (from their newest album) - if you liked Diabolos and Vinushka you would like that one. Performance is flawless also.
