One the most well-known japanese rock band, famous for their lead singer kyo - a beach blond weird dwarf - who cries/screams/shrieks and (used to)spit fake-blood/sperm/saliva during the songs, their weird and stoical drummer Shinya, their (no longer) beautiful and androgynious bassist Toshiya and their two guitarists Kaoru (leader) and Die. Formed in 1998, they released 5 albums so far, and came in Europe (France and Germany) in summer 2005. Considered as one of the biggest visual-kei-related jrock bands (even though they officially no longer belong to that movement). They are (unfortunately) the priviledged target of -bad- fanfiction writers, who like/tend to introduce kyo as an irresponsible 12-years-old sleepy head, toshiya as a slut, kaoru and die as perverts, and shinya as a female.
Alex : hey, who's the hysterical blond screaming and scratchig his chest while rolling on the stage ?!

Get the dir en grey mug.
A rather atrocious Japanese screamo shock rock band that sells records solely on the facts that:

-They are Japanese thus Otakus with no musical taste will listen to them

-They make "shocking" music videos

-There is a community of people that pretend all the band members are gay then masturbate furiously to each others "Stories"
"hai guiz read mai new Dir en grey fanfic, I haz Die and Shinya as Kyo's sex slavs, lawl lawl *fap fap* "

Get the Dir en grey mug.
Overrated J-metal band that dress like women. Way too overdone. One of the better known in America for some odd reason. As bad as Nu-metal.
'OMG! Dir en grey is like the best Japanese metal band, they are so hardcore.
