Today i heard that there was a Despairsray Interview and some Clips from a Concert in France on ARTE Yesterday?

Did anyone (european User) saw that or/and recorded it?

a friend of mine recorded the whole show on Arte and made a .mpg file of it, I think she will share it anytime soon with bittorent or something like this. ^^ (The real media file on Arte-TV.com is just a clip of it in an awful quality).

I'm really surprised they made such a long report about dray on one of the most important french/german TV channel. That's really great !

As you said it, it's about their concert in Paris. There's a quite interesting interview of the group -without makeup, Hizumi's hardly recognizable-, short interviews of the fans before the show, some general info about visual kei, some backstage videos and of course a bunch of images of the concert itself... (ok, I stop teasing. ~_^)

I'll tell you as soon as I see the video online somewhere - which could take a few more days since the friend I was talking about still wants to add english subtitles to the french comments before uploading it.

EDIT: to other french forum ppl: If you take the thing, I could pay you via paypal and perhaps you could send me the tape? Nyo? :? :| :grin: :roll:

lol... calm down, breathe ! I'm not her and I can't do it for her so for the moment it's just words ! But now that she wrote on livejournal she'd share it she can't go back I guess... And to be honest it would be a pity you'd miss it !


*edit*

Nephtys... always late ! : she already uploaded it !

You won't be disappointed ;) And about the subtitles thing : she finally couldn't do it (that's probably what you've read if you got it on lj ^^) but I think it's a pity because what Hizumi's saying in the interview is interesting... so I can post a "translation" if you wish, it's quite short anyway.

[edit]. roh, I'm going to do it and that's all. Read it if you want. ^^ plus, it gives me a good excuse to watch it on and on :-p

Aw, I know it's awfully long ! It took me 5 hours to download it, and I was refreshing the page every 10 seconds to play it on winamp... I couldn't wait. ^^


Here is the "translation". Hizumi’s speaking first, then Karyu and then Hizumi again, further in the video.

Hizumi (answering a question we do not hear. In fact, we never hear the questions but it’s easy to guess) : our “message”...? It depends on the song... But the thing I want our audience to understand is that we shouldn’t hide our weak points... our “dark side”.

Karyu : I don’t know if we can say our look is really original... I don’t think so. We don’t want this movement [visual] to be only seen as a look. You know, In Japan some groups are rejected because they’re not beautiful to watch... and on the other hand, some groups are successful only because of their look. I’m absolutely against this kind of classification.

Hizumi (seeming to search for words a lot) : The fans are coming to our concerts for our music above all... It’s like... a meeting of human beings who feel the same things as me... They’re on the same wavelength, they really understand what I’m trying to express in my lyrics... This way, I feel less “alone”.
(cute, isn’t it ? ^^ - Hizumi IS cute in this video anyway... he looks so kind and funny !)

Thanks for the translation :)! I came back to read it now that I've actually seen the video. They look so different without makeup yes? Like a group of little boys... (I feel really old when I see them with no makeup because I can tell how young they have to be ._.)

I have a video that must have been on some magazine DVD or other that is called 'despairs ray- live clips, backstage, photoshoots, travel footage.avi' and is shot by them with their own videocamera while they're on tour. Have you seen it? Lots and lots of shots of them with no makeup :)!

hehe ^^ at first I thought they were very young too, but according to japanese fans it seems like Karyu is 25, Zero 26 and Hizumi + Tsukasa 27 ! And when you think about it that's quite logical : they formed Dray in 1999 and they weren't already teens anymore at that time...

I know that video, and when I watched it for the first time I was like "uh ? But what the hell are they doing ??" lol ! Japanese young men are so childish... when I'm a bit down I watch this video, it always works. ^^
Oh and since we're at it : do you know this website : http://fcgi2.gcc.ne.jp/~nama/cgi-bin/picturebord3.cgi?user=akiyanao ? They've got many (silly :roll: ) backstage pictures, rare photoshoots, and IMO the third one from the top, on the first page is the most awful d'ray picture we'll ever see ! That's just hilarious...

Thanks for the link, this was a cool video, as much as I like backstage stuff I'm glad there was a whole song as well.
