藍紫色 (Ranshishoku) is one of the four Dir En Grey songs that were never properly released and only performed live during the band's indies era from 1997 to 1998. The other three are 新曲2, 新曲6 and 刹那.
藍紫色 had its debut as 新曲5 (Shinkyoku 5) ("New Song 5") on August 7, 1997. It was also mentioned in FOOL'S MATE #198 (April 1998), where Kyo explained that 新曲2 and 新曲5 were not finished and had yet to receive proper titles. On May 5, 1998, when the song was performed as 藍紫色 for the first time, Kyo also announced it as such. The official website confirms that the song was played as late as November 2, 1998.[1] This was also the last performance of the song, there are ten confirmed performances in total.
In June 2023, Shinya uploaded a short video to YouTube where he played a drum phrase from this song. This marks the first known time the song was publically referenced by one of the band members since their indies days.
You can listen to the October 28, 1997, performance of the song here.
