[/B][/QUOTE] Yesasia has bootlegs too... in fact I have bought one from them (it was a LUNA SEA DVD). I thought it was such a good deal, but of course you always do with bootlegs. So you might want to be sure what you're getting is the real thing. Remember, if the price seems too good to be true, it is.
No Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]OH how true....I wouldn't think they would cuz they are located in Japan. But the HK DVD's might be bootlegs. But hey you can do with bootlgs i guess. Just i have one question. If you have the Gauze Dir en Grey album, is ~13 suppst to 4 seconds long? Becuase in #12 after the song "Akuro no Oka" are you suppost to hear the last part of #1?? I noticed that the otther night and wonder if it suppost to be like that or is it cuz its just bootleged and they screwed up? Please help! [/color][/i]

Not all Hong Kong versions are bootlegs... many of Yesasia's CDs are overseas version, which are made for places like Hong Kong. They're cheaper but sometimes not quite the same as their Japanese counterparts.
No Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]ahh but their home base is in Japan. cuz when i bought my Vulgar Dir en grey album from them, it said, "shipping from japan" or was it "heading to US warehouse from japan" well either it means the same. so i felt reassured cuz it came from Japan. ^^ [/color][/i]
Transtic Nerve Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 lol sorry i brought bad news to you all. I'm the bootleg master person... I know most Bootlegs when i see them. I did a whole guide to them once... I want to find it cause i dunno what I did with it. Anyway, YesAsia's North American company is located in California, they still get all their CDs shipped from their warehouse in Hong Kong. At least they used to, could have changed since i last bought from them... which wasn't that long ago.... when VULGAR Limited Edition was released. A Japanese album is most likely going to cost upwards of $20. Unless you go on ebay or something, when in some cases you can find them for much less, but I don't advise that unless you know for sure they aren't bootlegs, cause there's a huge market on ebay for em too. Anyway, yeah, expect to pay $20 or more for any legit album. Most album that come out sell for $25-$30 depending on artist, first press, extras, etc. The overseas version usually, if there is one, comes out about 2-4 weeks after the Japanese version realease... these are usually $15-$20. YesAsia is the major dominant seller of these... HMV and CDJapan don't sell them to my knowledge. But usually overseas items are still produced by the original record company... ie: Sony has a Hong Kong division which releases overseas versions of their artists... Laruku, Porno Graffitti, etc etc. Avex Trax releases all of their albums overseas. They seem to have the biggest following there VCDs are often a good giveaway for bootlegs, however, not all is the case. VCDs are simply made for Chinese or Korean people who's DVD players can't support the Japanese format, or they can't afford the DVD prices (which are unbelievably high).... region 2. I think China and Korea are 6 or 4 or something. but alot of bootleggers make VCDs... they're easy to make. Also All Region DVDs are another dead giveaway. Those are almost ALWAYS bootlegs. I don't think any Japanese company makes all region DVDs for overseas selling. So if your DVD says All Region or if you payed less than $50 for it, it's a bootleg. Not to burst on you, but thats the unknown world that no one seems to know about... people buy bootlegs alll the time without knowing. I'm just here to edjumacate lol
No Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]Hey! Is Tofureacords, a bootleging company? I'm just wondering. ^^ help please...I'm drowing in curiousity here![/color][/i]

It's designed to be a way to get Japanese music into the states. Currently they seem to be focusing on T.M.Revolution (because all the anime nerds know him). Personally I'm not too thrilled with it.
No Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]ARe you calling me a nerd? Hey I actually like him! And i think its brave for them to do what they are doingand I really support them becuase of the fact that i cant stand American rap/rock//pop music. I want MTV to show more variety of the world, becuase they are associated with other MTV's bevuasre they are MTV! And to show different Music Videos on there I would be glad. [/color][/i]
SadClown Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 The DVD that came with the Limited Press of Vulgar was All Region. =D Other than that, I've never heard of anyone else who's made an All Region DVD.
No Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]D~mn maybe i should have bought the DVD+CD version of Vulgar. *cries* why did i buy just the CD wheni could have watched their lovelyness?~ Man...next time ill know better. [/color][/i]
Transtic Nerve Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 The DVD only had the video for OBSCURE.... a whole 5 minutes for $15 more... although it was limited press, and it'll probably be worth something later.
No Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]I wouldn't care...it's them still. It would like....*all oogly eye at them* I would like faint. It would be worth something very soon. [/color][/i]
TeRRaFLaMe Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Hmmm... I heard some of the tracks on Vulgar not too long ago, but I didn't like it too much. I was planning on pre-ordering it, but never got around to it, and I'm kinda glad I didn't spend the $30 on it. It wasn't bad, it was just kinda strange. @_@
No Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]O.o *huggles him* exxcuse me! You dont like it. It grows on you silly!! I even like it and i didn't at first. [/color][/i]
TeRRaFLaMe Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Hmm... I guess I'll try listening to it more. Dunno why, it just didn't appeal to me too much when I first heard it.
No Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]Ohh. Ok You beter or else I wont talk to you anymore fryn!! I'll make sure you listen to it. And i'll ask you everyday alright?[/color][/i]
SadClown Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 DeG is an aquired taste; one of those bands that you just have to learn to like. They aren't for everyone and Vulgar very much proves that. One thing that you have to understand is that the purpose of DeG IS to shock people. If you can appreciate it on that level and see it as an art form or way of expression, then you'll like the band. Btw, you probably would faint if you say the Obscure PV. It's not for faint (or weak stomached) people.
TeRRaFLaMe Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Heh, I like Dir en grey quite a bit, one of my favorite bands, actually. I've liked em for over a year now, and yea, I've seen the Obscure PV... weird stuff. XD I'd still say Gauze and Macabre are my favorite Dir en grey albums, but Kisou is definitely growing on me. Six Ugly never really interested me, though. XP
SadClown Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 I think all their albums are good becuase they are all different. Each time they came out with one, their sound changed/evolved to something that it wasn't prior to that. DeG keeps it fresh and new all the time by constantly expanding themselves.
No Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]I have one question...I am wondering this with all my mind and heart and soul...What is Kyo's REAL name. We all know that it's not Kyo becuase of the fact that he is from Kyoto, (and he hates his name) so he took the front of Kyoto and named himself Kyo. But the other thing I wonder is...does the other band members know his real name at all? That makes me wonder so badly. Well if you know please help me...if i am right about all of this. I read it somewhere...I just can't remember it to save my life![/color][/i]
TeRRaFLaMe Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 His current real name is Kyo. It used to be Tooru, I believe, but he legally changed it to Kyo.
SadClown Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 There for everyone in the band knows his real name too. =D
