Review by Deena Ziraldo

I watched this movie without subtitles (had no choice, it was brought over from Japan that way) and it was amazing! Even without the subtitles it's possible to tell what's going on and, in a nutshell, what's being said. This movie was so funny, so well acted, that I ranted and raved about it until my boyfriend bought it for my birthday. I recommend this comedy to everyone! It touches on the themes of love, friendship, believing in yourself, and putting faith in other people. It really, honestly, is a great movie!

This is an amazing release of Dir en grey's new style. Ready to shed the label of Visual Kei, Dir en grey (with almost ten years behind them) is breaking into the North American music scene. And what better song to announce their international success than with Agitated Screams of Maggots? With their roots in metal, their controversial and provocative lyrics, and their breaking away from macabre image, they're not you're typical j-rock band! Once again Kyo's attempts at singing an entire song in English is very admirable, and while it may be hard to follow along the hard-hitting beat of the song is sure to leave you pumped! (Not to mention the video is SWEET!) Slightly reminiscent of their other (and older) heavier songs like -Zan- and Saku, Agitated Screams of Maggots builds on a style they have created and made the music more accessible to a wider audience. Agitated Screams of Maggots is coupled with Obscure [LIVE] (original version released on the Vulgar album in 2003), and Spilled Milk [LIVE] and Kodoku ni shisu, yue ni Kodoku [LIVE] (both original songs released on the Withering to Death album in 2005, 2006 in North America). All and all a must have for all Diru fans!
