How does that work? |
It works because in the time after Dir en grey became popular, he was seen wearing clothing items and styles that directly imitated Diru, particularly Kyo. It works because Diru is original and he isn't, and it works because he's openly admitted to admiring them.
I love Dir en grey deeply, of course. They were my favorite band all through high school. I think that it's frankly demeaning who they've had to tour with in the US. I sure as hell hope they didn't decide on those bands themselves - Korn, fergodsakes? Bleed The Dream? When I saw Diru live with my friends, we basically went to the outdoor smoking area - even though none of us smoke - to escape the godawful opening acts, and went back in once Diru came on.
I must admit that I'm sad I was unable to see them live when they were still dressing up.
