I noticed how both of these bands have made a name for themselves in America. Diru may have existed long before Despa and toured more in the US but after last years Taste Of Chaos Tour '08, Despa has risen high on the music chart for rock pop and metal categories. It took just that tour in my hometown, Norfolk, Virginia for them to become one of the best Jrock bands in the US period alongside the Jpop queen, Utada Hikaru. Despa's music seems to be making more sales as Diru's spot remains empty at the moment. Im just loving REEDEMER and havent stopped listening to the entire CD thanks to HotTopic reminding me that Despa and Diru are still the greatest. I ran across REDEEMER today and with the biggest smile, half the money from last weeks paycheck was spent on it. 20 bucks total plus tax. Diru's Dozing Green hasn't been available for a while but Despa continues to take over the store shelves as I roam the likes of fye, Wherehouse Music, and Hot Topic altogether. Sadly no other Jrock or Vkei looks available.
