I didn't see a L'Arc thread so I thought I would start one up !
is there any l'arc fans out there ? If so what do you think of their new single "JyoJyoushi" ?
Personally I think the melody is really great, very soothing, and almost haunting.. I prefer hyde's voice pre-hiatus, but I still like his lyrics in this song. I'm still getting used to it, so I don't know where to rank it amongst the recent singles....
what do you think ?
-
Jojoushi is a good song, much better than Killing Me, and on the same quality than New World. I like it and the PV..... :w00t: AMAZING.
-
Jojoshi.. great song. i like it more than the 2 singles preceeding it. Hyde's new voice works pretty well. i like the guitar on it
what about the P'UNK version of Heaven's Drive? what do you guys think?
-
I don't like P'unk en Ciel. :(
-
Ready Steady Go and Blurry Eyes are my favorites from them. I'd love to hear some more of their music.
-
what about the P'UNK version of Heaven's Drive? what do you guys think?
I was afraid at first, Heaven's Drive being on of my fav songs, I was worried that the P'unk treatment might ruin it, but after I listened to it, I liked it alot. All of P'unk's songs have been winners in my opinion ^^
-
i like L Arc new single ^_^ my fav song would be heavens drive :D ^_^
-
Driver's High got me into them - I played it on the school's station back when I was taking broadcasting class. My all time fave of theirs is Dive to Blue, I love the vocal range and the tempo of the song - and its so radio friendly too! And Ken is a huge nerd, but he's cool. :lol:

that's cool that you played it at school. did it get any response ?
Dive to Blue is awesome, hyde's voice was my fav during that time.
How about fav PV's ?
Niji has some awesome visuals, and Anemone's simplicity is great ^^
-
Laruku are alright. I've never thought of Hyde as a good vocalist in lives and performances. I have to admit he did well in the recent performances of Jojoushi, though. And the setting was just sweet. :D
I got into them after listening to "Ready Steady Go!", the PV is fun to watch. My favorite song by them would be either As if in a Dream, or Stay Away.
-
Stay Away, solid song.
The PV is crazy, the only L'Arc vid to have dance choreography ^^
-
My favourite Larc song ever is Forbidden Lover. After that, I guess is Anemone.
-
My personal favourite L'arc en Ciel's song will be TIME SLIP ... from REAL Album. Coz it really makes me feel cozy while listening to it. But, my favourite album's HEART ... its track list were so d**n good ^o^
-
I got into them after listening to "Ready Steady Go!", the PV is fun to watch..
Ditto. Any suggestions for their best albums to try out?
-

Second that. I know only L'arc's anime opening songs.
-
what's that song where in the video where they're in the woods, dressed like those old chinese/japanese fantasy movies, on irc they described it as "journey to the west."
-
Ditto. Any suggestions for their best albums to try out?
heart, REAL, and DUNE are my fav albums.
-
Yummm..Jojoushi is gooodd :P
-
My current fav is Jyojyoushi, can't really get it off my head after listening to this latest single.
-
I got into them around the time Niji was released and I absolutely loved them during the Ark and Ray days. REAL was good but they'd released far too much of it as singles beforehand and it sounded more like a compilation than a real album.
I've been very disappointed with everything they've done since they returned but this has been my favourite song from the newer singles. Even though parts of it sound somewhat like Kaso.
Forbidden lover is my personal favourite Laruku song.
-
Being an anime otaku like myself, I got to know this band while watching Full Metal Alchemist. But it helps, since I liked their song for the opening intro, I naturally found myself drawn to their other songs as well. :D
-
Does anyone else hate P'unk en Ciel versions of Larc songs? I can't stand them. They killed KASOU!
-
i thought Kasou was alright.
i liked Round and Round 2005 though..
i havent heard the one on the Link single.. hell i dont even know what song they did.
for the next single they should do something recent like.. Jojoushi 2005
-
They made "Promised Land 2005" for Link. :evil:
-
Ooh! Laraku! ^_^
I love L'Arc~en~Ciel. I got their AWAKE album, then a few songs [including some Nikotchi mixes with Hello! Project artists]. I've practically loved them since I first heard Kuchizuke and Lover Boy. They're such an awesome band. ^_^
-

It's Laruku!
Anyway, I don't like P'Unk's songs either.They're just kind of...meh =/
I never download the whole single when I know there might be a P'Unk song.
Would be better if they came back with the original c/w's, like Yasouka, Brilliant Years, etc.
-
anata is my love song
their awake tour is so great
-
Cool band. One of the first jrock bands I even got into. Unfortunately, I've sort of grown out of them, but every once in a while I'll put their stuff on, though.
I do like the fact that they're releasing albums in America.
"And She Said" or "Shout at the Devil" are probably my favorite of their songs
-
I like them. I even managed to pick up AWAKE while in Bali (legit, even!).
-
can anyone post or attach their songs here? sounds cool to me ^_^
-
How many bands get to celebrate 15 years of continuous success? Not many. That's why I think this deserves a celebration!!

oh... I really missed laruku.. haven't their news for quite a long now.. anyone know what's their next project? I guess their still busy with their solo career huh.. :(
-
Did they ever say what channels they will be airing the concert on?
-
Laruku was another band that introduce me into the J-Rock a long time ago, more specific for the anime RK. I really like more their firsts albums before Ken suffer a very drastic image change O_o! I mean about the music they released after that...passing from a tune more mature-sad-dark to more pop-comercial... but I'm not saying all the music because some songs after that are still very cool... My fav album are TIERRA... Some songs made me to play them in the bass, like Blurry Eyes, Tetsu is a great bassist...
-
any new album? i like their songs but since im not in japan i dont know if there are new songs, is there any?
-
^ The latest releases are these according to the official site:

I'd say check out 1999's "ray", It has always been my favorite. I can upload it if you can't find it.
-

thank you for your help ;)
-
K, I'll upload it to yousendit. It might take a while, though. My connection has been crapping out all day. I'll edit this post when it's ready...
Here ya go

enjoy
-
great!! thank you so much for this.....!!! i'll listen to it
-
The new PV looks bad ass from those caps.
-
I love u guys
-
I agree that's a really good Laruku album. :heart:
I've always loved Ibara no Namida~ :heart: :heart: :heart:
-
anybody have their new single, seventh heaven and shine mp3???
-
sorry for double post... but i'm too happy that finally i can see their new pv... seventh heaven..... but... something dissapoint me.... this single not as good as what i expected..... i think laruku nowdays too much put english words to their music which is sound weird, considering their prononciation.... aaggg... i want my laruku back to the "stay away" era....
-
The PV is strange. Seventh Heaven is alright, I was expecting something more from it. Hyde looks hella weird dancing like that >_>
[youtube=425,350]NEr_dFQUGU0[/youtube]
-
song is alright, sorta like industrial pop. The pv was pretty wtf, kinda reminded me of chatmonchy's shangrila pv lol
-
Hyde's face looks so awesome, as always :luvluv2: His hair though... omg I so wish he wasn't wearing that weird hair... >_>
It's cool to see a bright and colorful Laruku PV. The weirdness of the PV is nothing strange to me, since Laruku has done plenty of interesting & weird PVs.
The song is not that great for me... I'll listen to it a few times and see if it grows on me lol
As for the Hyde dance, it's also nothing strange. He actually reminded me of how he was many many years ago, when he used to wear skirt-like things, long hair and danced like this. lol
-
The new song is so....poppy. But at the same time its pretty catchy. Is it just me or does Hyde sounds different in that song? Not sure how to explain this but he seems to be singing in a way to cover up his bad vocals or something.
Those white people dancing on the floor is just...weird. Especially when they start rolling around and stuff.
-
when will their latest song Seventh Heaven be out??
-
Does anybody have the words of the Seventh Heaven? Please I want to know so much what is he singing about :farofflook: Please
I liked this PV! It's really cool. Hydeto is so cute and Kawii
-
when will their latest song Seventh Heaven be out??

haha, that's one way to describe that pile of shit. Although, after listening to it a few more times, it has grown on me a little. The cowbell is infectious, but they still shouldn't have fucked around with one of their best songs.

Haha, agreed. The tempo change totally screws it up. And what's up with the guitars? It's so boring. The cowbell is funny. But they really should have picked another song. The original song is light years better. This doesn't even compare.
-
yeah, i was rite disappointed with the p'unk track and i completely love all the other ones
i still say p'unk flower is needed. y/n?
-
yup me too.... little dissapointed with p'unk honey..... loves the old ver... anyway... after hear the single again and again..... finally i feel the rythm.... hmm..... kinda love it recently......i mean the seventh heaven of course....

So I just went with a friend to a L'arc-en-Ciel concert in Iwate today. This is my first concert of another group/person besides H!P here in Japan. lol
So, to start: Hopped on a shinkansen to Iwate Prefecture, which is a prefecture north of where I live. Ate reimen, cold ramen soup and an Iwate specialty, and surprisingly it was good! The soup and noodles were slightly sweet and a bit spicy due to the kimichi they put in. I wouldn't mind eating it again. :D
But anyways, enough about food, onto the concert. I'm not a big laruku fan like my friend, but I do listen to their music and stuff and it was something I never gone to before. A concert besides H!P. And it was completely different. Instead of male dominated, it was female dominated. Instead of wotas, who wear long happi coats with their fav. member pics, we have girls dressed up in goth/goth lolita/ lolita clothing. XD It was a complete 180 for me. :lol: My friend keeps a blog and is connected to other bloggers who love laruku, so apparently one of the bloggers was at the concert as well, so we went to look for her. When we found her, apparently, she knows a bunch of other fans, including a group of 4, who brought a banner/flag that was going to be given to Laruku. People have signed it so they asked us to sign it as well. So now Laruku has a banner with a message from a gaijin. :lol: Not that they will be totally surprised as they did perform at Otakon a few years back.
Anyways, here is the set list:
Iwate Prefectural Hall
June 16th
01. SEVENTH HEAVEN
02. Killing Me
03. the Fourth Avenue Cafe
MC - Hyde
He talked about the last time they were in Iwate.
04. Shine
05. New Song
06. New Song 2
07. Caress of Venus
Between new song 2 and Caress there was a video playing advertising their tour goods and there is this polar bear that gets beaten up by a little girl for eating the magic bean and then when they were singing Caress, this bear was dancing in the background. It was all very strange and weird, but funny. :lol:
08. My Heart Draws a Dream
If I remember correctly, there was a ballerina dancing in the background on the video screen.
09. New Song 3
10. New Song 4; I think it is called "The Black Rose"
MC - Ken
More talk about Iwate and what Iwate is famous for, which besides reimen is also wanko soba. This is where you have a bowl and another person pours bite sized portions of soba into your bowl as you eat it as fast as you can. They will keep putting in more noodles until you say enough. So Ken tried this on stage with a giant bib around his neck. :lol: It was cute. He did very well for a first timer.
11. Driver's High
12. REVELATION
13. New Song (I think)
14. READY STEADY GO
I love this song :heart:
P'UNK～EN～CIEL
15. Feeling Fine
16. HONEY 2007
17. New Song
18. ??????????
Umm, it's not a new song, but I have no idea what it is. Sorry.
19. New World
20. Link
MC - Hyde
He talked about how getting to Iwate there was a bunch of rice fields and all that. He said he likes the countryside better than Tokyo! o.o Ok, Hyde. You can trade places with me then. XD :lol:
21. Jojoushi
It was a cool concert, but with many new songs, it didn't feel that the audience and the band connected as well, unlike, H!P concerts. At H!P concerts the wotas have all these coordinated dances and moves, but at the laruku concert, it didn't seem like that. There were parts of songs that people would all join in, but it was few and far between. Most did their own thing. That's another difference I noticed.
But wow, I just saw Hyde live. *still really hasn't hit Fen's head that Fen saw Laruku live* :lol:
-
omg totally envious of fen D: l'arc is one of the bands i would pay lots of money to see.
my father lives in baltimore, where otakon is, and i was upset the con wasnt during a time when i was visiting him XD

lol, it's a fuckin' rock concert! Thank god they didn't have any of that stupid shit going on! Nice report, though. Cool that they played so many new songs.
-
I'm super envious of Fenrir for going to the concert lol That'd be the ultimate concert experience for me XD
Seeing Hyde live O_O Lucky girl!
Thanks for the concert report ^o^
-
Did you listen "my heart draws a dream" radio rip? It's sooo good.
By the way, where did "shine" come from?
-
i recently gotten into j-rock, and mostly becuz of L'Arc~en~Ciel, i love listening to Driver's high (theme song to anime GTO) and Ready Steady Go (fullmetal alchemist) i heard them by chance when i watch these two anime and i just love these songs. i'm especially interested in their jpop/rock style. it's fun and addictive to me. it's generally my kind of music.
unfortunatly, those two songs are like the only one i have of L'Arc~en~Ciel, so if anyone knows where i can find most, if not all, of their discography, please inform me. i really want to check out their material. thanks in advance.
-
Hyde's the frickin man. I was into Jrock before HP so I have a massive collection of Gackt L'arc~en~ciel & others ( Gackt & L'arc being my favs cause they are so hott). *Sigh* I remember when I got my moonchild DVD a couple of years back it was the first Japanese thing I ever ordered.. & now I'm here. but I still listen to them even though I'm any H!P freak they still have a place in my heart.

Quick question. I'm a BIG L'Arc~en~Ciel fan up until their REAL album. How does their new album compare to their stuff from REAL and earlier albums?

I like L'arc~en~Ciel so much. Winter fall is very good.

L'arc en ciel is a awesome band with great music and charismatic members when they performed. I'm wondering if there's any music sheets/scores of their songs. I want them cuz I'm seriously want to learn music, first guitar, but maybe bass, and drums if fortunate. I can't think of no other music I would want to play and practice with other than L'arc~en~ciel, none other are as inspirational for me. If anything I want the music sheet to:
Ready Steady Go
Nexus 4
Shine
Driver's High
Link
Stay away
Jiyuu e no Shoutai (自由への招待)
New World
Pretty Girl
I'm so Happy
Dive to Blue
Seventh Heaven
Honey
Heaven's Drive
My Heart Draws a Dream
The Fourth Avenue Cafe
spirit dreams inside~Another Dream~
Hurry Xmas
Neo Universe
Spiral
Sunadokei
Lost Heaven
Daybreak's bell
and that just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but yah those are my favorites of Laruku.
btw, I'm totally a beginner, know nothing about music except that I enjoy listening. I am however inspired to learn and so am eager. I'd have been listening, also to the instrumental tracks, of some of the songs so I can get a feel for it. maybe I can just repeat the sounds just like how I heard it? I dunno if it's possible, and though atm I am a beginner, maybe with more knowledge and hard effort, I can?....
here's hoping. now if Only I can get my hands on music sheets... please help if anyone knows anything.
Please and thank you in advance.
-
I met this group through hiso AKB48 as a cover of the K3 kagami no naka I :thumbup
-
^^ Laruku.com used to have scans of music sheet for many of their songs. Right now it seems their site isn't working though =/
-
yes, after a long waiting finally new single will be released on january next year.

Kobukuro, L'arc en Ciel and Kumi Koda battle it out in new Pepsi ad
Wednesday 03rd March, 03:00 PM JST
TOKYO —
There will be a battle of the bands between musicians Kobukuro, L’arc en Ciel and Kumi Koda in a new series of commercials for Pepsi Nex that began airing today.
In the commercials, Kobukuro plays “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos, while L’arc en Ciel jams to “I Love Rock n’ Roll.” Koda performs Cheryl Lynn’s “Got To Be Real.”
Kobukuro makes their commercial debut in the ads, and member Shunsuke Kuroda described how they went through 207 takes before getting it perfect. Fellow member Kentaro Kobuchi expressed his satisfaction with the final cut, saying, “There’s a lot of energy it in, it’s great.”
For L’arc en Ciel, the Pepsi ad marks their first appearance in a commercial in nearly 10 years, and the band performs surrounded by giant three-meters-tall bottles of the beverage.
Koda takes a disco flashback on a 1970s-style stage, performing a pulsing, sexy dance to the iconic classic.

I just stumbled upon this recently released gem on YesAsia!

L'Arc-en-Ciel's latest best-of album Quadrinity ~Member's Best Selections~ consists of four CDs named hyde best, ken best, tetsuya best, and yukihiro best respectively. Each disc contains seven self-selected songs composed by one of the members, making this 28-song package the ultimate compilation for the top J-rock band. The best thing about Quadrinity is that the selections are given a remastering treatment by their creators to inject more personality to the songs.
First Press Limited Edition comes with 4 poster-like booklets and a bonus DVD containing the 65-minute variety program The L'Arc-en-Ciel Quiz, where the L'Arc-en-Ciel members become the contestants of a quiz show about the band itself!

The countdown is up! And the surprise seems to be..............
WE GET TO SEE THE PEOPLE IN LINE FOR THE CONCERT TILL IT STARTS?!! :shocked
(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3408/alineq.jpg)
That would probably be sorta nice to someone in the Japan time with nothing else to do... But for us fans from abroad who waited sleeplessly for the "surprise" at 19:00, it sucks quite a lot XD
I'm waiting a bit to see if something interesting happens *hopeful* :cool1:
UPDATE 1:
YESSSSSS it changed!
(http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9609/soundcheckb.jpg)
Will they show Laruku during sound check? XD
UPDATE 2:
43 minutes into broadcast, the Neo Universe PV started to play. *dances along with whatever little energy is left* :cow:
This was followed by some apparent technical difficulties, and then went back on with the Finale PV. One of my fave songs btw :inlove:
UPDATE 3:
It went back to the line, and then showed Stay Away PV.
Cant stay awake any longer, 7 am, I give up lol... Will have to find out what happens later, and if they do show the concert, I'll just hope someone is recording lol Good night everyone~ :heart:

I guess none of us missed much then XD Apparently the 20th anniversary surprise announcements were:
- Three ‘best-of’ albums – “TWENITY 1991-1996“, “TWENITY 1997-1999“, and “TWENITY 2000-2010” – will be released on February 16th, and contain all their hit songs since the group’s debut back in 1991. Fans who wish to buy all three albums can wait for a special “TWENITY BOX” that will be available on March 9th. The box will also contain a special DVD.
- A DVD box called “FIVE LIVE ARCHIVES 2” will be released at the end of March, and continues from where their 15th anniversary DVD had left off. The box contains a total of five discs, each featuring five concerts, including their 1999 Osaka open air tour “1999 GRAND CROSS TOUR” and their LIQUIDROOM (Tokyo) performance from the 2005 arena tour, “AWAKE TOUR 2005″.
- Two anniversary live concerts at the Tokyo Stadium on May 28th and 29th.

-
I like it too~! :heart: Everlasting Laruku!! :twothumbs
Tetsu and Ken don't seem to age much XD They always look the same, particularly Tetsu with his baby face :P
I thought something in Hyde's face looked strangely different, mostly the area around the sides of his mouth O_o Although it may have just been weird lighting effects coz in the latter part of the video where everything is illuminated he looked quite normal...
-

Wow. They never seem to lose their charisma even as they get older. Just ordered the single, can't wait for it to arrive.
-
I'm just wondering, of all their songs, why is Singin' in the Rain never performed live to the audience? From all the performance in their concert dvds, not even once. I kinda fell in love with the song (all over again) and was trying to find a live performance but to no avail. :(
-
alright, i am officially satisfied.
Raruku is #1 on Oricon~ *cough crushed SHINee*

J-ROCK STARS, L'ARC-EN-CIEL, TICKETS GO ON SALE NOVEMBER 17TH FOR APRIL 11, 2012 SHOW AT THE O2'S INDIGO02/LONDON
Tickets for Japan's influential rock band L'Arc-en-Ciel's only London show go on sale this Thursday, 17th November. Regular tickets start at £50 and
VIP packages are available from www.aeglive.co.uk/artists/larc-en-ciel (http://www.aeglive.co.uk/artists/larc-en-ciel)
Inspiring a fanatical following, L'Arc tend to travel like a big football club, taking the away fans with them. They will bring some of their most
passionate supporters from around the world to brighten up London in April, turning the O2's IndigO2 into an authentic J Rock pilgrimage for fans of the genre hungry to see the real thing.
L'Arc-en-Ciel are Japanese rock royalty, returning in May 2011 from a 3 year hiatus with sell out shows in aid of Japanese Tsunami relief. The band
celebrated their 20th anniversary with the two-night show ³20th
L'Anniversary LIVE² at Tokyo's Ajinomoto Stadium to 100,000 fans, proving their position at the centre of Japanese Music.
L'Arc are now currently out on their 20th anniversary tour and as ever are proving themselves one of J Rock's more controversial groups.
New shots to promote the single X X X ('Kiss, Kiss, Kiss') shows the all male four piece doing just that, with each other, keeping a tradition that
has kept fans guessing for 2 decades. That includes their occasional sojourns as "P'UNK-EN-CIEL" - when members swap instruments and become a
punk band, releasing a string of singles as their alter egos.
Formed in 1991 in Osaka, they have since sold 30 million records and set all sorts of Japanese live benchmarks.
Specializing in epic pop rock, the band count Nirvana, Radiohead, Ozzy Osbourne and David Sylvian among their diverse influences. Released earlier
this year, their spectacular box set 'TWENITY' runs the full gamut, from early work to their most recent offerings, taking in goth rock, to jangly
guitar pop reminiscent of The Cure's lighter moments and U2-esque stadium anthems.

AWESOMENESS DAI!!!! :jphip:
By the way, the rumor about Laruku disbanding after the tour is FALSE. There are NO official reports on such news. The source of this false rumor was a fake Laruku Twitter account with a post saying that they would disband after the tour.

:doh: that's right. but that does not mean you need to delay in getting tickets! WUT UP my Thai PEEPS! :thailand:

doesn't imply I am going but I suffered there more than once in my life but I would be willing to go if I bother getting my ticket, better than Pipeline I guess but not as great as Blaisdell, although if there is a good crowd they could move it... :nervous
-
I guess the Shell can hold more people. Still, my experience seeing Utada at Pipeline was priceless compared to the wasteland that is the Waikiki Shell. A thousand blahs.
Of course I DID see Amuro there, so many moons ago...

iirc 1998 correct right? :lol:
Well you know for me Waikiki Shell is the worst during the time and imagine the high humidity at that time but I may have to take off because I will not go in my work clothes :lol:

Gotta to say that even though I've known their music through all these years of listening to Japanese music, I was never really into Japanese rock. But damn they put on a great show.
Thanks, Dai, for the tickets. I'm glad I went!
and I got to meet Rei-chan! I wish you were in town a bit longer! Hope all you guys have fun in LA next month!

My videos will be from way close to the stage so look forward to those too! XD

Hello~ Just came back from NY this afternoon and go directly to work :fainted:
I always wanna go visit NY. And finally got a strong reason to go.
Thanks to Diagong and Chase again. I had a lot of fun.
The concert was really really GREAT!! I was tearing when I saw four of them showed up on the stage.
All of them play really well. Hyde Voice is amazing, I thought was came out from CD or something XD
And Yukihiro's drums, Ken's guitar and Tetsuya's bass, they all have solo parts and made all the fans crazy~~
I was too enjoy the show, so didn't take much pictures. (the pictures were very blurry anywhere)

-
Aww Dai, you're gonna make me cry XD It's so true though, this is truly a dream come true for me. As I wrote about the concert, I realized that my words cannot begin to describe how magical this experience felt. But I'll try, so here goes my account of the concert ^_^
As I’ve said a million times since the magical night of March 25, 2012, THE CONCERT WAS FREAKING EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! It started with really cool images on the giant screens, first displaying the band name, followed by the band members’ names. Finally a beautiful, android-like Hyde appears on the screen, acting like he’s escaping from these tubes holding him, and he breaks free and punches the screen breaking into a million pieces that fly in all directions. Looked SO cool…

Then the band appears! I could not believe that after 15 years of admiring them and dreaming of this moment, L’arc-en-Ciel was finally standing in front of me. I screamed my lungs out lol They kicked off the concert with Ibara no Namida, my favorite Laruku song! They sounded SO FREAKING GREAT! I recall people in the past saying that Hyde’s voice has gotten bad due to his smoking, but whether that’s true or not, it absolutely did NOT show in this concert. He was flawless. They all were. One amazing performance after the next.

They went all out with special effects. During one song, they had fire rocketing up from the floor of the back of the stage. I felt the strong heat from it, so I wonder how Yukihiro felt, since he was right in front of the fire! They also shot fireworks (super loud but awesome), and during one song they shot streamers into the audience and I caught one! It’s a long silver ribbon that says “L’arc~en~Ciel”, “L’Anniversary 20” and has the logo of the tour. I think I’m gonna hang it in my room XD At one point they had sparks shooting down like a curtain behind Yukihiro. Poor guy must’ve been HOT between the sparks and the fire!

Their performances were really filled with energy. Hyde jumped and danced all around the stage, mostly showing off his hip-swaying dance. I was SO blessed to see them up close. My original seats were great, in the press area (right side of stage, very close to it). But then after a couple of songs I noticed some empty chairs in the first row of that section and moved there. OMG. I was so freaking close, I could see Hyde’s face clearly. Best thing was, they often came to the sides of the stage, so they got even closerrrr!!! Most of the people in the row were real press, writing down stuff and taking serious photos. This worked SO GREAT in my advantage!! At one point there was a Ken guitar solo, the spotlight on him, so Hyde came to my side on the stage!!! First he was looking at Ken, but suddenly he turns completely and stares at our area for a while, making faces and stuff, so I took the opportunity and when he looked in my direction I waved, and he waved back!!! I was so lucky because I was the only person standing in the first row, otherwise he would’ve never noticed me! I rarely believe when people say their fave artist waved or looked straight at them in concert, so I understand why ppl look at me like 'yeah right' as I tell my story XD But I don’t even care, I will forever have in my mind the memory of Hyde actually looking at me and waving at me for that brief moment *___*.

The break before the encore was painful. After singing Ready Steady Go, they left without saying anything, so I thought ‘there’s no way this is the end of the concert’. But then time passed… and time passed… and more time passed. The audience screamed and applauded calling for them to come back out. They chanted “L’arc~en~Ciel!” and later “アンコール!“, and Laruku was nowhere to be seen. Staff was going around the stage, so I started wondering, ‘could they be cleaning up coz the concert did end?’. Seriously, it was a ridiculously long wait. Felt like 30 min, don’t know how long it actually was. Eventually the giant screens went on, showing a cartoon representation of an audience doing a wave. So people started to do the wave. All of the audience did the wave together, it was pretty awesome. After about 10 waves and many more chants, the music started! It was the instrumental for one of my favorite songs, Anata, and the lyrics for the chorus appeared on the screens. Everyone sang along, and then finally Hyde appeared and sang with everyone. It was AMAZING. Such a beautiful moment~ *_* <3

The encore songs were a GREAT selection, some of their best in my opinion. I absolutely love that they sang songs as old as Caress of Venus (released in 1996), and not just new ones. It was just beautiful to see them sing songs that I’ve loved for 15 years. I almost cried when Hyde said the last song would be Niji. That’s the song that made me really fall in love with L’arc~en~Ciel in 1997, and it STILL makes gives me butterflies in the stomach when I watch the PV. So imagine the feeling I had seeing them sing this beautiful and powerful song right in front of me as white feathers floated all around us. I cannot find words to express just how magical it was. I kept one of the feathers too~ <3 *_*
After the encore started I took mostly videos. I don't have time to upload all tonight, but here's one:

This newly announced L'arc~en~Ciel tribute album is an...entertaining idea. haha. Apparently the artists covering L'arc songs for the tribute album include TLC, Daniel Powter and Boyz II Men. Should make for an interesting listen.

May 31 has been declared as L'arc~en~Ciel Day in Honolulu, Hawaii!! What an honor for the guys! :thumbsup
On May 31, rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel held the final performance of their world tour at the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, Hawaii. As it’s their first concert in Hawaii, the City of Honolulu established this day as ‘L’Arc~en~Ciel Day‘.
Towards the end of the concert, the Mayor of Honolulu, Peter Carlisle, made a surprise appearance and declared May 31, 2012 as ‘L’Arc~en~Ciel Day’. Mayor Carlisle decided to make this day ‘L’Arc~en~Ciel Day’ to show gratitude to the band for choosing Hawaii as the last stop of their tour. The Mayor also felt they have made a great contribution to cultural activities, and built a bridge of friendship between Hawaii and Japan. After the big announcement, leader tetsuya was presented with an official statement, and the members took a commemorative photo.
With this, L’Arc~en~Ciel has become the 3rd Japanese artist to establish a day of remembrance in Hawaii. ‘TUBE Day‘ was created back on June 1st of 2000, and ‘Arashi Day‘ was born on March 30 and 31 in 2002. Vocalist hyde expressed, “Today became an amazing day. Since this is a paradise of rainbows (‘L’Arc~en~Ciel’ means ‘The Rainbow’ in French), I’m happy.”
On this day, L’Arc~en~Ciel excited both local and Japanese fans by performing a total of 21 songs, including “HONEY” and “Niji“. “Since L’Arc Day has been made, I would like to hold a live here again,” said hyde.
