A five-member visual kei rock band that has gained support with original songs based on metal and hardcore, infused with flavors of folk music.
They have enjoyed strong popularity since their formation and can be seen as a band that helped spark the current focus on indie artists—achieving milestones such as becoming the first indie band to perform at the Nippon Budokan even before their major-label debut.
They are also highly popular overseas, undertaking energetic activity such as tightly scheduled, day-by-day tours across the United States and European countries.
Transcending Japan’s uniquely visual-kei mode of expression, they are a rock band that captivates loud rock fans around the world.
The Devil In MeDIR EN GREY
Among visual kei bands, DIR EN GREY is known as one of the top groups that frequently use mixed voice and falsetto.
From their catalog, I especially recommend “The Devil In Me” as a reference for mixed voice.
Kyo, who is among the best vocalists in the visual kei scene, delivers stunning mixed voice and death growls, offering many parts you can study.
While it’s difficult to replicate, it’s an excellent track to use as a reference.

A track with a heavy sound and profound themes.
Using death and sin as motifs, its lyrics depict the darker side of humanity, piercing sharply into the listener’s heart.
Included on the album PHALARIS, released in June 2022, it also received a music video.
This work showcases the band’s evolution while retaining the intensity of their early years.
Recommended for those interested in the depths of human psychology and suffering, and for anyone who enjoys a weighty sound.
It’s a popular song frequently performed live, so if you attend a DIR EN GREY concert, be sure to enjoy this track’s performance.
The World of MercyDIR EN GREY
A monumental work with an overwhelming presence that exceeds ten minutes.
Its grand musical structure and Kyo’s protean vocals weave a sonic world that draws listeners into another dimension.
The interplay of stillness and intensity, the beauty of the strings, and the weighty guitar sound leave a strong impression.
Released in September 2019, this piece is positioned as the “final piece” of the previous album, The Insulated World.
The lyrics, which focus on the “pain” of individuals and society, evoke deep emotions.
The contrast between ferocity and serenity is striking, making you forget the track’s length of over ten minutes.
A highly recommended song for those who want to immerse themselves deeply in music.
pomegranateDIR EN GREY
A song by DIR EN GREY portraying hopeless love and self-destruction.
It’s included on the album “MACABRE,” released in September 2000.
Written from a female perspective, the lyrics vividly depict scars on the wrists, love freezing over, and the struggle to endure the cold of the night.
It also features a weighty narrative in which the protagonist, having decided to jump to her death, looks back on her past at that very moment.
This work fuses lyrics that pierce deeply into the listener’s heart with DIR EN GREY’s uniquely overwhelming sound.
It will resonate when you want to face the pain of heartbreak and the hardships of life.
