After the intense touring cycle following their 8th album 'DUM SPIRO SPERO,' Dir en Grey took a break before resurfacing with their single 'RINKAKU' on December 19, 2012. This time, they teamed up with animator Keita Kurosaka for a hand-drawn music video, a departure from their earlier, more disturbing work like the 'Agitated Screams of Maggots' video.
