Tour 05 It Withers and Withers is a live DVD released by the Japanese rock group Dir en grey, featuring a concert recorded at Shinkiba Studio Coast during the tour of the same name. It was reportedly filmed with 33 cameras and is presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio with DTS audio.

A limited edition was released as well, which comes with two additional discs. Disc two contains another hour-long feature, filmed during a show at the same venue a day earlier. Mastering is on par with the main disc. Disc three features assorted footage from the It Withers and Withers tour and the Taste of Chaos Japan Tour 2005 at documentary level quality (see Tour 00 >> 01 Macabre), as well as multi-angle versions of four songs from the main feature and a music video for "Higeki ha Mabuta wo Oroshita Yasashiki Utsu".

On March 31, 2006 a DVD titled Tour 05 It Withers and Withers -Bootlegged- was released and sold exclusively to members of A Knot (the band's official fan club). It shares little footage with the public release and focuses mainly on the first European leg of the It Withers and Withers tour, which marked Dir en grey's first performances outside of Asia. At a length of two hours and 15 minutes it shows the band perform at locations such as Rock am Ring, Germany and the Paris Olympia. Again, most of this live footage is in aforementioned documentary level quality. Music videos for "Merciless Cult" and "Dead Tree" were included as well.
