Cutting-edge Japanese band DIR EN GREY performed a free show for their fans in Kanagawa, Japan on September 13, 2011–exactly six months from the day the earthquake hit their country. The band has been candid about their feelings on the current nuclear situation that followed the earthquake, and their striking on-stage look of deteriorating skin evoked images of the pain and horror that many people are facing.
Here are links to the band's open letter about life in Japan after the disaster as well as news about their forthcoming tours of North and South America:
