~~~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.
