Update
D.I.D.'s appearance on 8/30 has finally been confirmed by Sho, except that Akane will not be performing with them. It seems like Kei will still be their support guitar and that one of their kohai will be on vocals.

<p>Issei as his alter persona, Michael Jesus on 8/1</p>
Updates
In a recent tweet, Issei sounded as though he wasn’t aware of the D.I.D. session live on 8/30. I also heard that he doesn’t really want to be in D.I.D. anymore. He’ll also be having two session lives (on 8/1 and 10/2) as Michael Jesus. Kei (who now lists himself as ex. D.I.D. support) will also be a part of his session.
So it seems as though D.I.D. may be down to just Akane and Sho. The D.I.D. members have always been on good terms with the owners of Black Hole, the livehouse organizing the live on 8/30, so D.I.D. session is likely to be them. But there have been no official word yet. I’m planning to go to the live, so if nothing is said until then, I’ll be sure to keep you posted.
The band itself hasn’t announced it yet, but I found out that D.I.D. is scheduled to perform at Ikebukuro Blackhole’s 7th anniversary live event on August 30th. Strangely though, they are listed as “D.I.D. session”. We aren’t quite sure what it means as of yet. Hopefully the members will disclose more information about this soon.
Is D.I.D. going on hiatus?
Not officially but they haven’t been active since early April this year and don’t have anything planned for the near future. According to tweets, they have been working on music, but who know when or if they’ll come back, given they still need to find a replacement for Tohma and some drama concerning Akane surfaced back in March.

Already There’s not much time left Where do I begin? At such times, it usually comes to me as I write. So let me start with a thanks.
Fatal Error Race Lyrics
Lyrics : Akane / Music : Sho, Akane
Translator’s note: The song actually seems to be sung completely in English but the lyrics in the booklet are in Japanese. I suppose this was so that Japanese fans would understand what it meant too. I’ll try to do a translation soon. If you repost this anywhere, please credit.
KANJI:
何を信じて何に救われた? 何を信じて何に裏切られた? 腐った人間共にくれてやる sweetest vengeance
真理なら此処に在る どれだけ苦しんで悩んで藻がいて生み出した言葉だと思ってる? Pay money To my Pain
肌の色?いや違う 信教の差?いや違う
お前らは全員詐欺師に騙されているだけだろう
国家がどうした お前のアイデンティティは神に救いを請うことなのか? 何時だって指導者はただの詐欺師だった
でも俺は違う 信じるか信じないかはお前次第 確たる俺も人間だ でも俺は変わった 変わることなど無いと思っていた でも 確かに俺は変わった
だから俺は言う 俺の言葉は本物だ
人に請うた教えなんて価値があるのか? 自分の人生だろう 自分で創っていけよ 生かされるだけの人生から自分自身で自分を解放しろ 自分自身で創った人生を生きたと思えた時 それが自分の本当の人生だ 生かされることから生きることに変わる時だ
変わることなど無いと思っていた でも 確かに俺は変わった
だからお前だって誰だって変われる
確かに俺は変わった 変わったんだ

Hi! I read the question about Akane's finger tattoos. I'm pretty sure it spells 'error' on the right and 'race' on the left hand. It's a bit tricky, because the double r in error is spelled forth and back on the ring finger. -Greetings, Masuha ^^
That would make a lot of sense. Thanks for your input!
do you know WHY tohma is leaving D.I.D. ? I wonder if that's one of the reasons there October & November monlthy release didn't come out
I don’t know anything more about Tohma’s “leaving” than what’s been said on the official site. Since he said he was leaving the music scene, I suppose that he might simply have decided to find a “real” job.
As for the releases being delayed, Sho said on Twitter that he’d decided to postpone the release in order to improve the quality of the songs. They've also been busy touring, and Akane hurt his lower back, and Tohma’s now leaving, which might have pushed the delays further. Some people I know have speculated that maybe they don’t have enough money to continue the production, such as renting studio/equipment, but I can’t say for sure. Either way, it seems they've started recording again.
Important Notice from D.I.D.
[Translator: Here’s the long overdue translation of Tuesday’s announcement.]
After January of 2016, guitarist Tohma will be taking a pause from musical activities due to personal circumstances. It doesn't mean that music will not be a part of Tohma’s life anymore, but all members hope that he might pick up his guitar and play with them again someday if he has time. Therefore, Tohma will not be withdrawing from the band, but will simply go on a hiatus while remaining one of the members. The will of D.I.D. which we've struggled to build until now as a 4 member band will thus continue unchanged. The 4 of us, including Tohma, will be trying to recruit a new member in order to allow D.I.D. to continue existing. Please continue to give your full support to Tohma. Below are messages from each of the members, so please continue reading.
Do you know what Akane's Finger tattoos spell put?
I have no idea! When he first showed them to me after he just got them, I just smiled and pretended like I knew what it read. Even now that his hands are on the cover of a CD, I still can’t figure it out.
Hello ^^do you know they real age?
I’m sorry, but I don’t know exactly how old they are. Akane and Sho are likely over 30, Tohma and Issei are likely in their late 20′s, and Kei (the support guitarist) said he was still under 20.
Hi please can you upload the lyrics of fatal error race?
If I have the time to, I will. The lyrics in the booklet are actually entirely in Japanese although the song itself seems to be sung in English. A while back, Akane posted this on Twitter that sounded like it could be the chorus but I can’t vouch for it a 100%.
Once again I’m telling youMy words are true my words are realFuckin virtue that we get from humanIs it worth is for real?Your life creation comes inside of youyou’ve been allowed to liveUnleash yourself by yourself.That’s your true LIFE.Definitely I changedfuck yeah I could changed…I could changed…I could changed…I could changed.
[mod]
Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve started a new job and despite having a flexible schedule now, well... I end up working all the time and using my days off to go to lives. I’ve been going to all of D.I.D.’s lives and I have been posting the setlists on Twitter. However, I don’t have much time for translations anymore. :(
In other news, I have extra copies of the Fatal Error Race / W.O.D. II single up for grabs. They’re 1200 yen each and they come with a black and gold rubber wristband. If anyone is interested, please send a message. I ship from Japan and accept Paypal only.
Issei: You weren’t there [on 6/19] so you have no right to hear these songs in the first place. We even wrote on the CD “Don’t upload these songs on Youtube!!”. We’ve sent a deletion request. Those who don’t take it down should get a $5000 fine. Those who knew it was forbidden and yet continued to listen to the leaked songs also deserve to pay $5000.
Leaked Songs
Please do not reblog or post the leaked songs on your blog or anywhere else as it only encourages spreading.
Also, if anyone knows where the mp3s originally got leaked, please let me know.
