~~~Dir En Grey History~~~

Dir En Grey all started when their original indie band La:Sadie's disbanded on January 15 1997. It consisted of Kyo, Kaoru, Shinya, Die and bassist Kisaki. Kisaki decided to split and they were left without a bassist. They remembered Toshiya whom they have met earlier. In Toshiya's words, he was then kidnapped by them and became their new bass player. Dir En Grey was then born on February 2, 1997. They released their first mini album "Missa" on July 25, 1997. However, it wasn't till they released several singles in '98 that their popularity grew. In August of '98, their single "I'll" broke sales records for indie singles. On January 20, 1999, they released three more singles "-Zan-", "Yurameki", and "Akuro no oka" (which were produced by Yoshiki). That same year they went onto the Sony record label and released their first full album "Gauze" on July 28, 1999. And from there it was history, releasing album after album with no showing of slowing down.

CONGRATULATIONS to ~Dante-666 for winning the contest. Many thanks to everyone who entered the contest. And also to those who took the time to vote. Thanks again!!!





~~~~~Contest ~~~~~

New contest will be posted soon...

I have decided to revamp the member's list to make it easier for people to see if their names has been added (if they had asked to join.) Just look up the letter that your name starts with. They are not in alphabetical order under each letter so you still have to do a bit of searching. If your name starts with a number, there is a number section at the very bottom. Now, we recently had to split the members list into two journals. So members with usernames starting with any letter from N throught to Z or a number will be in this journal. If your name starts with any letter from A through to M, go back to the main page journal and click the first link beside members list. It will take you to the first members journal where you will be listed. If you don't see your name, please inform me by noting the club. Thanks and sorry for any inconvience!

New members that we added that usernames starts with any letter from N to Z or a number will be posted in this journal in the new members section. Any new members starting with any letter from A to M will be posted in the new member section on the first members journal. (first link beside member list on main page journal)

~~~~~Contest~~~~~

I hope we haven't done this one already, but here it is!! Draw your very own interpretation of one of DeG's songs. It can be whatever song you wish and in whatever medium you choose. Be creative, go in depth, and if you have to, pick a song that you feel represents you and go psycho with it! Have fun with this one! OH! And it CANNOT be something you've already drawn, it has to be brand new. (It'd be unfair to allow older deviations in.)
