I just read this bulletin from Dir en grey’s MySpace page and I thought it might be of some interest.

The bulletin reads as follows:

Today, Headbangers Blog premiered DIR EN GREY’s new video for “Dozing Green,” the twelfth track from the band’s forthcoming seventh studio effort, UROBOROS.
The video was directed by the band’s longtime collaborator Hiroyuki Kondo, and took two and a half months to create from filming to post-production!

Be sure to check it out HERE RIGHT NOW! Then stay tuned for it’s television debut, scheduled to air at 2AM this Saturday on MTV2′s Headbangers Ball…

Never thought I’d get to Dir en grey on MTV2, let alone on US TV at all. ^^

They’ve been on US TV before; I saw saku and Clever Sleazoid on Headbanger’s ball when it was on MTV itself, and I think another station showed saku.

Headbanger’s Ball had internet voting for video of the year at one point and saku won.
