Hello, this is Toshiya. Thanks to all of our fans, DIR EN GREY has successfully reached our 25th anniversary. From now on, I’d like to use this “utakata” to share how I’m doing and other personal aspects.
It’s the first time I’m doing this kind of content myself, so I’m fumbling, but I hope you’ll stay with me for a long time.
And as for the main subject of the column… doesn’t this look like an essay?
I think so. But anyway, I feel like I have no idea what to talk about…
Well, I’ve lived my life stubbornly without doing anything on my own. That being said, the 25th anniversary of the band has already passed and it’s time to face the remaining time? It’s something I think about more and more every year.
It may be taken as an excuse, but I feel embarrassed because I said I wouldn’t do something like this, but I’m proud of being open to do it.
I think there will be various opinions and impressions, but I hope your can forgive me, Toshiya, for my selfishness~
To be honest, it’s a wishful thinking and I think this can give off a strong smell of cashgrab but, ‘utakata’ is made by me without reserve.
I’m a lazy person, so I may have fallen behind in everything, but I would be happy if I could meet with the people to spend some time with me in this place from now on.
So, if you are interested in the pre-opening, please do not hesitate to join us.
