Rinkaku is a captivating song that once again shows that Dir en grey continues on the musical journey steadily moving towards a more progressive music.
The new version of Kiri to Mayu is very brutal and barely recognizable, which doesn't mean that it's bad. At least, it sounds more interesting than most of the remakes of old songs they've done before.
Overall, a very nice single. And the concert presented on bonus DVD is great too.
