Yes, it's true that Dir en grey has headed in directions that are miles away from their old Visual stuff... but wouldn't it still be nice if they'd throw out some oldies when they did their shows and not just when it's shows in Japan?

I recieved a random message on Myspace about this idea from another Diru fan, I honestly gave it thought, as I also miss the older songs and would enjoy being able to experience them live and in person.

So the idea is to have sorta "print-out-placards" with some old Dir song titles in both Japanese and Romaji/English and print these out and attach them to a piece of cardboard or posterboard and bring them to hold up briefly as the band takes the stage, just long enough for them to look out and see them.

I understand that doing this isn't going to magically make them play the song that very night because obviously it's highly unlikely for a band to play something they haven't already rehearsed and planned, but atleast doing this would get it into their head that it's okay to play these songs and that we'd actually love to hear them again. And even if they don't care, well... it's still trying, right?

So anyway, here are the print-outs.

They're fitted for 8x11 paper and meant to be printed in black ink. Don't ask me for ones with Garden, or Jealous, or I'll or Taiyo no Ao or something else deliberately poppy-sounding that you're only putting out there as some sorta joke. I'm not the one who made these and besides, I don't want to get them laughed off the stage. What's here is still good though and still holds up. If you think this is a good idea, pass it around to other fans... they don't even have to be in America (since if they do it in a country they're playing in before they come here, that increases likelihood they'd do it for here too, right? ^_^)
