Ok I watch your videos, LOVE Diru, and how did I not ever see this video?
@zhuyu9268

When I saw 'sea of Rs', I thought it was a dig at the band for the Japanese accent mishandling Ls and Rs in English.

this is true, i downloaded a discography as a kid and it had that song. that’s wild lol

Dir en Grey is sickAF! Seen em live several times. So damn good
@Cyromantik

This is crazy. I have Sea of "R" on my YouTube Music as a titled upload because I got it from an old post-Napster P2P client ages ago. The client also hosted chat forums, of which I spent most of my time in prog metal, industrial and drums and bass. I legit thought the song was an experimental track and had no idea it wasn't actually Diru, top troll material, 10/10!

Oh, if anyone likes the more rock Japanese music similar to Dir En Grey and away from the pop and speedmetal, check out a band called "MUCC."
Man, I used to be so into japrock and anime but unfortunately it's one of those things I eventually learned to hate due to the annoying fans.
@ReddFoxx1562

As someone who paid 40 bucks for Gauze when it came out, due to being produced by Yoshiki, I'm a little incredulous that Dir En Grey had a big fanbase in 1998 America.
@kleingeld6132
November 13, 2025 at 3:11 pm
Now i wonder, if I still have a Sea of Rs file lol But I don't think I remember it as the full title but the shortened version. Or maybe I'm just fooling myself. There were so many mistitled songs and PVs back then. I'm still not sure of my bootlegged early audios are really them or even La:Sadies lol

Dir en grey is fucking amazing
All the members are hot
And their talent is mind blowing
@thatonebackgroundcharacter2194
November 13, 2025 at 3:11 pm
Bro still said the slur but didn't even have the guts to put it in the title… What's the point of saying it if you're not even gonna put it in there? You might as well have just not said it at all.

To be fair, even if this was made up, it's probably along the lines of what the actual origin is.

I remember downloading the track from Winmx years ago wherein you can play the song even before it was completely downloaded. I thought it was a long intro to some song before something poppy like Yokan or Raison d'etre. I went "Any time now…" then the song ended.

Why is retard politically incorrect? All it means is out of sync.
@skeletonkiss1112
November 13, 2025 at 3:11 pm
Okay but can we just talk about how this guy had some pretty cool ideas? The circus music with hitler speeches and a loud siren sounds honestly like a really cool experimental track. Almost reminds me of throbbing Gristle kind of.

I'm 36 and I remember this so clearly. He is not making this up. But I knew that was not a real song. It was all over napster and kazaa and shit.

I'm so happy you like dir en grey. I love them. My favorite metal band.
@jopica30

I remember that in my early years of listening to Dir en grey that I downloaded a song (from a site I don't remember anymore) called "Red Glass" that was really like somebody that put together the tracks of Red Soil and Glass Skin (from the Uroboros album) remixed in one track. It was cool and I believed it to be a real song but sadly I don't have it anymore and cannot find it online

Dude maybe bc u are saying it my brain wants to remember a secret song but I'm not sure 😂😆😂😆
