1999 Nen 12 Gatsu 18 Nichi Osakajo Hall Customer Reviews

I'm amazed by this whole dvd, it's astounding. It has to be the best concert performance/dvd that Dir en grey has released. It's a must have for any fan. I'm very happy with it and do not regret buying it at all. It has made me see how much more amazing Dir en grey is and brought back my faith in them. I couldn't help but cry at the end, they are amazing people. The songs will grab at your heart and so will their performance. I had waited 2 years to buy this, never having enough money, but now i'm glad i finally did.

After watching a friends copy of 'THE CODE OF VULGAR[ism]', I didnt think Diru could get much better live. But then I bought this! This DVD is outstanding, its sheer brilliance. The choice of tracks the band plays are brilliant and are performed incredibly well. The most memorable parts for me are Die's 'yokan' solo (I'm a huge fan of Die! lol) and the entire encore at the end, that includes a super extended 'GARDEN' during which the crowd sings along to just the drums, its beautiful, Toshiya actully crys at this point!! 'JEALOUS' being one of Diru's best songs is even better live! And its great how they fool the crowd by starting to play '-I'LL-' but then 10 seconds into it they start playing '-ZAN-' whislt Kyo shouts out 'BAKA!' to the crowd. Simply an amazing concert DVD that any Dir en grey fans NEEDs to have in their collection, you will not regeret it!!!

I definitely recommend this to all fans of visual kei. If you're new to visual kei or Dir en Grey it's a good place to start your collection. There's 20 songs altogether, mainly from Dir en Grey's Gauze album but also a few from Missa including GARDEN (which is brilliant), Byoshin, Aoi Tsuki and Myaku from their later album Macabre which I was really pleased about. It's really difficult to pick out just one performance as a favourite because the whole show is just incredible (costumes and all) but Kyo's emotional performance in Mazohyst of Decadence was particularly memorable. Oh, and the drumming is defintely worth a mention(You go, Shinya!)There's also a few extras too, a bit of backstage stuff, a full screen version of the CG opening sequence and information on all the band's equipment.The show itself is around 2 hours 15 minutes long, its filmed really well and has massive replay value...Buy this now!

a great show, they're great ! Toshiya's so hot in this one <3333 They sing most of my favorite songs !!

This is my first true visual kei DVD. <3 I love their outfits, though I tend to love their Macabre era outfits even more. Even this early in their carreer, they show they're capable of a stunning live show and showing a high level of musical skill. They play a lot of songs from their early days: All of their Gauze album except Mode of Eve, Byou[]Shin, Aoi Tsuki and Garden from their Missa EP, and a few single tracks such as Jealous, Ash and Unknown... Despair... a Lost. They even play Myaku from Macabre! There are some killer songs on this one. I especially tend to enjoy -Zan-, Raison Detre, Tsumi to Batsu and Yokan. If you're interested in the early Dir En Grey days, don't hestitate to purchase this one. My copy came in a cd jewelcase, just so you know.

This DVD contain 20 amazing live song (all the song from GAUZE except GAUZE -mode of eva- + some older songs) and some backstage stuff... If your are a fan of the visuel part of Diru then, then this is the DVD for you. I love the dresses and the perfomance is so beautiful.

Every fan should have this in their collection! The concert is truly amazing! The band, the music, the outfits, the audience.. couldn't be more perfect! My absolute favorite moment of the concert is during GARDEN when only the audience sings. It sounds so beautiful! It's true that this DVD costs more than many could afford, but I can honestly say that it's worth the money! The concert will blow your mind^^

I had dreamed of this DVD very long long time and now I finally get it!! And i didn't disappointed! Totally not. This is certainly the most awesome concert what Dir en grey have ever. I love Dir en greys visual kei moments and this DVD is dream for all visual kei fans. It is so beautiful and great that Dir en grey sounds so much better in this DVD than in CD's. My favourite song is Mazohyst of Decadence, it's so beautiful in this performance that I cried. I cried a lot when I watched this concert XDD Especially at the beginning and ending of concert. This is must to have DVD. I'm so happy that I own this now!! ^___^ Ps. If there are fanservice fans, so this dvd include it also :'D I love it, I love Dir en grey :)

The hey-day of Dir en grey's visual kei era, performing the entire 'GAUZE' album as well as some of the earlier classics! I just love the band memebers' outfits, especially Kyo's, in this show with all having their own hair color. Kyo: blond, Kaoru: purple, Die: red, Toshiya: blue and Shinya: brown. They perform the whole set incredibly well, but I'd like to mention AOI TSUKI cause it's a song that's never left any greater impression on me, but I was blown away by it's explosiveness in this concert. GARDEN alone is worth the purchase not only for the brilliant deliverance from the band, but also the recieving they get from the enthusiastic audience. Pure magic! Really, it's as much a pleasure to watch as it is listening to, Dir en grey when they were only just getting started! This also has the greatest ending I've ever seen in any concert ever, a perfect experience!

For the Dir en Grey's Fan, this DVD live Show, is fantastic. This concert is basic on your fan collection. I love the songs: "I'll", "Cage" and "Akuro no Oka".

Osakajo Hall is definitely a must for all the Dir en grey fans out there. The first DVD they released with their old hits on it. Great songs as MASK, Raison D'etre, JEALOUS are performed and Masochist of Decadence is definitely one of my favorites. This will really be worth your money.

I've always thought of this one as my favorite. It was really a highpoint for Dir en Grey when they were first getting pretty successful.

If you're a Dir en grey fan, then you must buy this dvd!! It's from when Diru were at their best. It has all the songs from Gauze plus more. Theres even a little bit of behind the scenes footage. It's quite expensive but well worth the money. P.S. There is also a section on the dvd which tells you the equipment they used :D
