No danes pa tudi novi PV skupine Ruddock (ラドック) čigar član je tudi naš priljubljen Mitsuhide, mnogo ljudi meni da mu ta stil kot zvrst glasbe bolj ustreza, kaj pa menite vi?

Glede imena skupine: Vse Visual Kei strani, tako Francoske, Britanske kot Ameriške romanizirajo skupino kot “Ruddock” in jih boste tako lažje našli, za tiste, ki prepoznate hirgano “ラドック” katera je tudi v naslovu vam je jasno zakaj smo mi poimenovali skupino in ta prispevek “Raddock”. Na Evropskih ter Ameriških spletnih straneh nismo zasledili niti ene same pritožbe glede romanizacije imena skupine vendar v Društvu Touhou menimo, da se naj piše tako kot je bilo namenjeno s strani skupine. Tudi romanizacija na njihovi uradni strani diktira da se skupina imenuje “Raddock”. Očitno je se je nekomu malce ponesrečilo in je tako tudi ostalo interesantno je pa da med fani noben še ni ugotovil pravilnega zapisa skupine

Nedolgo nazaj so Dir En Grey eden najbolj popularnih metal bendov na Japonskem na svoji spletni strani objavili javno pismo glede katastrofe, ki je doletela Japonsko dne 11.03.2011. Kampanjo so poimenovali scream4truth, tukaj je njihova objava;

An Open Letter From DIR EN GREY…

To The People of The World,

“The earthquake this March took the lives of many people, including many DIR EN GREY supporters. Now, in many places throughout the country, high radiation levels have been detected; everyone including ourselves has been exposed to the radiation and there are even some who say the contamination is so bad we are at risk to not be able to travel to the USA and other countries in the future.

On March 11th, the band was in the studio in Tokyo working on the new album when the earthquake hit. Afterwards the power shortages and transportation chaos caused further complications, and our many thoughts crossed our mind: “will this album really be completed?”; “will we ourselves be able to continue working towards the completion?”; and “is it right to continue making this album?”

August 3rd 2011 is the release date of our new album DUM SPIRO SPERO. This normally would have been a wonderful day where our work was to be released out into the world. However, there are still many people in Japan suffering from the disaster and so with the intention of self-restraint, we will to refrain from words of joy on this occasion.

But we cannot stop moving forward due to this. We are currently in Japan now; however it is unclear to what extent the government’s statements are correct, and to be honest, no one really knows what is going on in Japan right now. The safety regulations for safe level of radiation exposure keep getting increased higher and higher, yet the only official announcement is that “there is no effect on health.” We can no longer tell whether we are a democratic nation. Unless you are careful with your words, you will be taken down with significant force. At this point we do not have the ability to truly find out what is occurring in our own country.

However, we want to know the truth. People are able to overcome huge obstacles and problems if they know the truth.

In the album title “While I Breath I Hope,” and our music video “DIFFERENT SENSE” that we released just prior to the album, our sense of wanting to take action that will lead to a breakthrough in the current situation is reflected.

The beginnings of something as significant as the velvet revolution are said to have been in the “Prague Spring” which was started by a rallying of people of culture.

For all of you who have read this, we ask that you do what you can to support us in our search for the truth.”

Respectfully,
DIR EN GREY

Kampanja scream4truth bo ostala aktivna dokler Japonska vlada ne bo izdala točnih podatkov o radiaciji, Dir En Grey prav tako komentirajo, da to preprečuje njihov obisk tujih držav. Pa bodo dosegli svoje? Mi upamo da. Vso srečo!
