Dir en Grey Returns to Nippon Budokan!

Saturday, September 12, 2009


















Nippon Budokan is a venue for big musical events. It contains three halls which holds 8,000 to about 14,000 people depending on seating arrangements. When Dir en Grey decided to take on Nippon Budokan in summer 2006, tickets were sold out in just 45 minutes! O_oTwo and a half years later, Dir en Grey ventured out and attracted a world audience. It's very likely that this Budokan appearance will sell out in less time than in the past.

The two shows, names for the 2008 album UROBOROS, are called UROBOROS - with the proof in the name of Living..." and will take place early next year, January 9-10th, 2010.  General sales begin October 31st, and no special overseas sales have been announced yet.

Nowadays, Dir en Grey is about ready to wrap up a full year of domestic and European concerts as Tour 09 ALL VISIBLE THINGS runs through to Tuesday, September 15th. All but two (2) out of the ten (10) shows are sold out.

Also, a new DVD AVERAGE BLASPHEMY will be out on October 28th, and is said to have both PV's from the singles on UROBOROS album as well as clips from the recents tours and "making of" footage.The genius behind the production of the included video clip for the song "RED SOIL" is Shirogumi, the visual effects master behing movies like "Returner" and video game CG sequences like those in Tales of Destiny and Dirge of Cerberus - Final Fantasy VII. Just thought that might be good to know =)
