Welcome to Dir en Grey Lovers a place for the fans of the awesome band Dir en Grey.

Dir en Grey formed in 1997, with the sole purpose to spread the feeling of hurt and sorrow caused by weakness, shallowness and egoism of humanity.
Since then, their grotesque ways, their warped affection, and their crazy live shows took the independent record scene by a storm, putting them on the very top.
In 1999, their fame caught the attention of then CEO of East West Japan. Thus signing them to a major record label. They debuted releasing 3 singles at once, very rare for a newcomer.
Of course, all 3 songs hit the top 10 on the charts.After that, all their releases would hit the top 10 on the charts proving that more and more people were sympathizing with their lyrics.
In 2002, their fame hit all of Asia. During their Asia Tour they traveled to Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shanghai. And in Shanghai, public safety officers had to be called in to calm the excited fans.
When they first formed, their expressions of pain came from struggling and writhe, hiding inside the feelings of hurt and suffering. But as time passed, their pain became a cry also a message.
Now, Dir en grey has changed its target from Japan to the World.
From their unstable beginning, the band itself has gone through many changes and revolutions. After the “TOUR07 DOZING GREEN” in Japan, DIR EN GREY achieved nearly 100 live concerts during this year. In December, DIR EN GREY will start their third Japan tour with 10 YEARS that was one of the bands of “THE FAMILY VALUES TOUR 2006” as support band. 10 YEARS have not been in Japan since "SUMMER SONIC 06." It is clear that their music is their tool to send out a message, and they have only just begun.
