The“TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ ” series brings DIR EN GREY’s gratitude to their fans, but it is also a tour series that laid the basis for the band’s future, now that the chapter of the 9th ALBUM ?ARCHE?(2014/12/10 Release) ended with the NIPPON BUDOKAN 2 DAYS show.
These releases can be considered also a “documentary”, where you can see the present DIR EN GREY challenging with the past albums featured in each title and enjoy their expression of “Pain” trough each of them. DIR EN GREY keeps on challenging everything, aiming to reach something new and innovative.
