I agree with you...(I don't think most of the Dir en Grey fans would listen to such kind of music when the band members wouldn't look so "cute")I think the fact that people only like the bands because of their looks is extremly big in this "genre".
I'm not sure if I can say anything about the S.K.I.N. music, the sound quality is too bad for an opinion but I can say that I can't stand Gackt's voice. So however Yoshiki's composing will be I'm not sure if I'll ever like the band.
An other fact I was really shocked about was that they only played 4 songs...I know, I'm not in the position to judge about the concert cause I wasn't there but hey, I think some people really spend a lot of money to see them without knowing what kind of music they'll play and I don't think you can call it a real concert, more a "presentation" (I would expect a little bit more when I go to a concert but maybe it's just me). I just don't really know what to think about this band, to me it looks a little bit like they just want to use the attention j-music got in the past years to do something profitable but I think we'll have to see what happens.
Hope you somehow get what I wanted to say, I'm not good at describing things like that. And I really don't want to be pessimistic, it's good to see Yoshiki trashing the drums again ; )
