●In January DIR EN GREY performed at Yokohama Arena for the first time in 3 and a half years since their previous show here, in spring they held a video concert tour called “Chika Ryushutsu Den’ei Yugi-kai” in various cities and in early summer they performed 5 nights straight at Akasaka BLITZ (Tokyo) in early summer.
When September came, they released their 4th album “VULGAR”, followed by a long nationwide tour. We could say this was the year DIR EN GREY established the foundation of their evolution and original style.
