Japanese cult rockers DIR EN GREY are one of the few Asian bands to truly make an impact outside their home continent. The last three years have seen sold out shows across the USA and Europe, both in the mainland and in the UK. In December 2008 DIR EN GREY traveled to the US and Canada to conduct the “Tour08 THE ROSE TRIMS AGAIN” tour for 21 shows. After this very successful tour the band returned to their home country for the last leg of this tour, which can now be witnessed by their fans outside of Japan for the first time. On 2nd of May 2009 DIR EN GREY will release the Live DVD "TOUR08 THE ROSE TRIMS AGAIN" which was recorded at one of these Japanese shows, giving Dir en grey fans the world over the opportunity to witness the heroes welcome received in their own land.
