YUCK. i don't know how u can call this ART!!!

I just saw a music video by a Japanese rock band called Dir En Grey and I thought it was really gross I don''t how this can be called art. I think Japan's culture is so repressed that that some people become extreme and produce wierd things like this. I'm gonna provide you with a link so you can express ur opinions. But the content is not work friendly and it is quite obscene and potentially disturbing so if u don't like things like this don't click on the link.

ehehe
it's "shock rock" basically the same thing that Marilyn Manson goes for :wink:
The Japanese seem to be the best at accentuating ridiculousness though, sometimes to the point of grotesque creations. The humor on Japanese TV is REALLY over the top too

Friendly bunch....

These are the lyrics (dunno how good the translation is though)

-------------------------

How many hangings under the red moon "..."

How deep will it sink inside eating skin that doesn't match?
The snake makes way through the sheets and goes inside the uterus.

It can seem like a cherry blossom petal, that dances sadly.
The stain is the moon that's fulfilled, and the vomiting at night begins.

How many hangings tonight?
How many hangings tonight?
How many secret hangings tonight?
Remember?
Remember?
Don't you
Don't you
Don't you remember?
Don't you
Don't you
Don't you remember?

Color of faint... the night begins and people start to awe.
Color of pomegranate... sting with the prick and disappear far away.

How many secret hangings of the premature baby tonight under the red moon "..."

Bloody Baby & Sacrifice(repeats x4)
How many hangings tonight?
How many hangings tonight?
How many secret hangings tonight?
Remember?
Remember?
Don't you
Don't you
Don't you remember?
Don't you
Don't you
Don't you remember?

Color of Gold... want to be the spider that stings.
Color of tears... remembering the memories.
Color of faint... the night begins and people start to awe.
Color of pomegranate... sting with the prick and disappear far away.

If you want some shock, listen to some GWAR...one of my favorite bands

Its not that I just got my ass kicked
Tho it did hurt, I admit
Its more like I am a huge asshole
Constantly talking belligerent shit

:lol:

I hate that crappy overproduced band. However, the vid was pretty cool. Too bad it was already done by manson in 1998.

weird,but i just saw on have i got news for you a clip a japanese reality show where they fake a terrorist attack on unsuspecting peolpe for laughs
