About ‘The World You Live In’
I didn’t really post anything regarding the live-streamed concert besides screenshots and a mall thing about the view count, though with how small the dir en grey-focused side of Tumblr is, I’ve seen the same post from a fan writing about how important the live was to them. I thought of doing the same, but I had no big reason to until now.
Comparisons between the idol world and Visual Kei/rock music, is frowned upon, but in this context I believe it is important to see how things are going on both sides. Rock music, idols, pretty much everyone involved with the music industry here in Japan is hit very hard with the closure of music venues and other gathers (such as in-store events), and both are responding differently. Today, I read a translated yahoo! News article posted by qppy (I will be referencing certain parts of that post, but I will not directly quote as to not repost qppy’s translation I highly recommend that you read the post). The article has a focus on AKB48, with quotes from producers and an in-depth look at what’s happening behind the scenes there in the terms of companies’ financial standings. One part that stuck out to me the most is the cost of hiring people to run the camera, and some idol’s are starting to charge for viewing the live-streamed concert. In the Visual Kei world, a few bands have had live streamed concerts in music venues, though none the size of KT Zepp Yokohama, though many bands now have had their members resort to livestreams on apps like instagram or twitter where they may sing a little bit or play guitar. Dir en grey is definitely an outlier in the terms of quality, planning, and execution of their live-streamed concert. On the 28th, the documentary consumed most of the day leading up until the live. The documentary included a ‘tour’ of the stage and back of KT Zepp Yokohama, the briefest peak of the member room through a curtain, interviews with the members, rehearsals (mmm remember that crunchy sounding rehearsal with Toshiya and Shinya), and talk sessions with some other Dir en grey affiliated people. That was a lot of content on top of the 90 minute live we were all waiting for, too. And the live.. which drew so much praise from pretty much everyone. The members’ were fully costumed, gave it their all, and it was really something that is rare among the bandmen livestreaming right now. Of course, through YouTube it is possible to donate money to the channel livestreaming, and over the course of the day I did see a good bit of 10,000 yen and 15,000 yen donations. There was no admission fee or digital ticketing to see the live, it wasn’t limited to fan club members (like the 3/28 live was originally planned to be), it was completely free on Youtube and people voluntarily donated to the band from all around the world. these donations are on top of the Sogai merchandise that had dropped earlier in the day as well.
The thing that stuck out to me the most was the figure used when discussing how much it costs to put on a live-streamed show like idols are doing. Hiring a camera man, a switcher, and renting the venue costs about 500,000 yen which is a massive figure, though for a venue like Zepp, its probably much higher for the length of time Dir en grey used their EIGHT camera operators. Along with the costs of paying their 2 live sound engineers, 3 lighting techs, and about 50 other roles all involved in making this happen.
Something about seeing the cost of how much idol fans are paying to regain a type of normalcy in their side of the industry with their usual face to face activities now taking place online. In visual kei (though Dir en grey have probably never shot cheki to sell after lives), cheki are about 500 to 1000 yen, but idol fans are now paying figures of 2000 yen to 5000 yen for cheki depending on how decorated it is. I’m really the last person to comment on anyone’s spending habits, but it’s a bit odd to see from the other side. ‘The World You Live In’ was a bit normal in diru live terms, with merch sales starting before the live and then attending the live, though this time you didn’t have to pay a drink fee at the door. Instead of standing outside in the merch line, you were instead stuck in the purgatory of GBS server crashes. Instead of waiting for push to come hoping you can get a closer, everyone was 整理番号1.
This was just a really long, boring, unnecessary way of saying that I really appreciate ‘The World You Live In’ a completely free documentary and live, where Dir en grey gave us 110% of their energy, and probably the best thing a fan could ask for in these trying time. Even though the reuploaded version of the live is laggy as shit ♡

2020.04.16 BARKS interview with Hazuki
Hazuki talks about the feelings behind the plan to support music venues; songs to record were decided as well
interview and text: You Masuda
original interview can be seen here
translation: kyotaku (if you see any mistakes or typos pls let me know(*' ')*, ,))
The frontman of lynch., Hazuki. He just wrote about his plan on twitter using a hashtag #savemusicvenues on March 30th. Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 many music venues were pushed into the situation where they cannot operate and an unreasonable trend started that they started to be seen as evil places, thus the band have decided to write a new song and donate and divide the profits between music venues. Below is the summary of the message Hazuki sent on that day:
"Looking at current turmoil, I started to think if there's nothing I can do to help and decided to take action. First, I'm working on a song now. When that song is completed it will be sold right away. And the profits from that song will be donated and distributed between the live houses where lynch. played at! We are currently discussing how we will sell the song or how to distribute the profits with our office and the recording company. We will announce the details when things are decided. Of course we ask our fans, but not only them, even if you're not a fan, everyone saved by a live house, please lend us your strength. Let's save our precious spaces."
Three days after that, on April 2nd I talked to Hazuki. Conducting an interview would likely not be seen as 'leaving the house unnecessarily', but mindful of the situation we decided to do the interview over the phone. There were some changes even over that little time that passed until the day of the interview and I received the demo which seemed to be the very early stage recording. The song was crowned with the title 'DON'T GIVE UP' even though there's not even one word of lyrics yet. When the readers can see the interview a week will pass by then, but I'd like to convey Hazuki's feelings from that point of time. I'm sure he will update us about the situation with the song's progress through his twitter etc, but this the very first interview about the birth of the song.
#ライブハウスを守ろう・savemusicvenues
――Something I want to talk about first. It feels really weird to be interviewing you through the phone even as we both are in Japan.
葉月:Right? It feels like I'm a foreign celebrity (laughing).
――You have first made the announcement on twitter on March 30th. Obviously there had to be some chance to discuss [the situation] that led to that stage, right?
葉月:Yeah. I was meeting with two staff members on Friday afternoon (March 27th), and naturally talk like this came up 'COVID-19 is worse than anyone thought' 'I never expected it to get to this point', and that led to the 'should I start working on a song in a response to the virus?'. Saying that, at the moment basically I have a lot of free time (laughing).
――No way (laughing). But the truth is in this situation there's no way you can play any concerts.
葉月:Yeah. Gradually my schedule got more and more cancellations. I had nothing else to do, so I thought why not create a song that can only be made right now. Then we discussed if the profits could be used to support the medical system or to help distribute masks. Then, an idea came out if we wouldn't be able to do something for the closer to us music venues ('live houses'). Actually, the idea came from the staff. Then it just clicked and we decided to start this movement. It's not a lot of hard work to create and record one song, and it's not like I didn't have some song ideas.
――You have just released a new album 'ULTIMA' in March, but you mean that you you still had some song ideas?
葉月:Yeah. Next I'll make a song like this, had something like that in my mind. Then, [we were planning] if I give shape to this one and made all profit into donation like this... . But if it's only us doing one project like that it'll be hard (not enough), so I thought it would help if other artists were also aware 'ah, there's this way too'. For example, I'm tweeting now using a hashtag #ライブハウスを守ろう (#savemusicvenues), but it's not like this is the only way of using it.
――So you mean it'd be better to have more projects for the same purpose?
葉月:Yeah. I hope that things can move into the direction of helping music venues thanks to this, and of course, we are also actually helping ourselves. When the current situation is over and we are able to play shows again, what would we do if there are no more venues?
――That's true. For lynch., first your 3 shows planned for mid March were cancelled. And then the next tour was supposed to start from April 18th, but...
葉月:All events planned for April are gone. I'm also aware that it's very likely for May and onwards events to be cancelled. But we are still preparing for the tour, actually other members are doing a rehearsal right now. So we could resume activities anytime.
(kyotaku: most of their act5 tour dates until July 5th were indeed cancelled, which was announced on April 17th)
――So while you were doing tour preparations you decided to start this new project writing a song. , I'll be frank, I wonder if you got any criticism coming from making this decision. It's not something talked about a lot, but people will have different opinions on such activity. There are some people who will think that no matter what happens to wait silently doing nothing is the wisest option.
葉月:Probably. But I didn't want to be idle and just wait for the situation to settle down, and it seems so far we didn't get any fierce criticism or anything (laughing). Actually, I got thousands replies to that tweet but only about two were negative (laughing). I wouldn't be able to start anything if I was worried about things like that. I mean, sure we don't have like a shocking number of hardcore fans, but at the very least there's this small [music] world connected by the comradeship. But being able to get those people's approval immediately made me extremely happy, not worrying about criticism is nice, or actually I don't care (laughing). More practical side is to care that the final form of the release is still not fixed, but I wanted to announce that 'lynch. will be doing a project like this!'. I'd be glad if people can get even a bit of hope from that. And I thought that the process from now on would be more interesting by announcing it before the song is made. We could enjoy the process and get exicted together with updates like 'oh, the demo is ready!' or 'we're finally recording!'.
――I get it. So by the detailed updates about the process until the release people will be able to enjoy it like an ongoing documentary.
葉月:That's right. By doing that I wanted to get everyone involved so I wanted to make the announcement early. But even after the decision was made I had to wait for three days (laughing)
(kyotaku: this tweet omg😆)
――You must have been impatient these 3 days (laughing). Also, we just mentioned it earlier, but it's not only about lynch.'s action, I think it's important to see 'what can everyone do?'.
葉月:True. If it's only us the amount we will be able to donate will be very insignificant. I'd like to see the number of people who agree and try to do something increase.
――But you actually already got some requests/offers to join the project, right?
葉月:Yup. From engineers, photographers, recording studios and so on. Everyone was saying 'let me take part in it, I don't need payment!'. Bless them. I also got contacted by other artists. But this time we will be working on the song in Nagoya, so I'm still not sure what will come out of that.
――But nowadays people just send each other data using internet.
葉月:That's true. That way some people would be able to participate. But I can't say anything definite.
――Including these points, by the time we can listen to the finished song we will also get to know real time how it is evolving. And I got to listen to the demo as a perk of conducting this interview. As you said on twitter, 'it's not a ballad thats bringing everyone together', I'd say the song is the opposite!
葉月:Hahaha! Even as something like 'we are the world' would be better for this occasion (laughing). Usually it tends to be something like that, right? But we do what we do, we decided to go with something pure and feeling good but heavier.
――Demo had the title 'DON'T GIVE UP'. Will lyrics include this message?
葉月:Yeah. I haven't written lyrics yet, I guess it's time to start worry about that (laughing). In various ways many people are in a difficult situation right now, but this seemed like something common for all of them, like the best message to sent to everyone, it just came to me. It's quite unusual for lynch. as we had nothing to do with message-ness so far (laughing). Usually I'm not the type to have something to pass through lyrics.
――I guess it's a situation that makes you deliberately want to raise your voice. So, are you working on the song right now?
葉月:To be honest, we've done the demo for 'DON'T GIVE UP' yesterday, right now I'm working on another song. Actually, it won't be just one song, we will include two more songs. One of them will be 'A GLEAM IN EYE', now I'm processing the data for it.
――You're re-recording it, right? Will it change a lot?
葉月:Nah, I don't think so. But it's been recorded 10 years ago so listening to it now sound quality-wise it's a bit bleak. We're going to improve that side, there's no plan to rearrange it. Ever since it was released that song had an important role during our concerts as a 'strong light', I hope to deliver it to the heart of fans who lost the light in the current turmoil. As there are such feelings included we want to re-record it with as little changes as possible.
――So you will update the song to the 2020 version without changing it shape. And the other song will be an unreleased song?
葉月:Yeah. Originally, this song from Yusuke-kun was supposed to be included in ULTIMA, we decided to use it [in this project]. Initially, we were planning only one song, "DON'T GIVE UP", but Yusuke was worried that with only one song the price would have to be low and we wouldn't be able to raise much money so he suggested 'what about using my song?' and we agreed with him. And we decided to add that song and 'A GLEAM IN EYE'.
――So instead of only one song we can be excited like about an upcoming single. From now on I will be observing the process these 3 songs will go through until they're completed. By the way, when you adressed people on twitter you wrote 'everyone saved by live houses', do you also feel like you were saved by music venues?
葉月:Honestly I don't have a cool story like 'I could only be myself as a teenager at music venues' (laughing). It can't be argued that for us they are also our workplaces. Playing a concert is also a part of work. However, every and each band had the rough time in the beginning when their shows were not selling, in our case somehow we managed to get to this point [of being relatively successful], but the place where we spent all this long process were music venues. So our 'curent place' would be impossible without music venues, and of course we can't allow them to disappear. If there's something you can do you just have to do it. It's simple as that.
