1997–1999: Early career

The independent rock band La:Sadie's, which featured four of Dir En Grey's members before disbanding, preceded Dir En Grey. They disbanded due to leader and bassist Kisaki's decision not to debut because it was too soon, but guitarist Kaoru said they were excited for it. Toshiya, a member of Kisaki, members Kaoru, Kyo, Die, and Shinya, have reformed as a new band after parting ways with Kisaki, members Kaoru, Kyo, Die, and Shinya. They officially formed "Dir en grey" on February 2, 1997 after appearing at one show as a Kuroyume cover-band called DEATHMASK at the live house Nagano J on January 24.

The band's name is a blend of German "dir," French "en," and English "grey" and was thought to refer to "Grey Silver Coin" (, Haiiro no Ginka); the Japanese translation was used as the name of their fanclub's newspaper. They wanted to create a black and white musical image, so they went for grey. In a prompt interview, singer Kyo revealed that he knew the name before the band was formed. Kaoru explains that they borrowed the name of another band that was well known at the time in 2020 during the WOWOW Special. This band, La Lavelle, had released "Dir en Gray" in 1995, but it had no name. The song begins with the word'dir en gray', with the Latin portion being a correct translation of the Japanese part. Both translate to "you in the black." In a subsequent interview, Kaoru said that "at the time we chose the band name, it had some significance," but that right now it doesn't mean anything specific." We chose the band name because it sounded right, and it also depicts a brand that perhaps doesn't exist elsewhere."

Missa's first EP was released a few months later and attracted mainstream attention in 1998 by establishing the top ten on the Oricon music charts with the still independently produced songs "Jealous" and "Ill-." During the first half of 1999, five subsequent singles, arranged and produced by X Japan co-founder Yoshiki Hayashi, were released.
