STAY AWAY, the BLESSed QUADRINITY had a REVELATION in L'Arc~en~Ciel's 4th Thread!
 

Welcome to Laruku's next thread and sorry for the not-so-welcoming title :innocent

yeah, that's great
without this it will be just a stupid compilation for extortion of money from the fans
And I wonder how they chose songs.

great thread title , Alicia :)

I think they will get a really good mastering personnel to do it , maybe Tom Coyne or Stephen Marcussen to do it as this are the 2 names that popped into my mind with regards to good mastering studios

well , let's see the tracklist of their new greatest hits in due time when it's out

LOL sorry that pic's totally random I know xD

posted by baoying@LJ

^that pic is cute! Where is it from?

The tracklist is good but why couldn't the promo pic be the cover? :/

so they aren't gonna disband, right? since this is supposed to be "revving up for their 2011 return". :shrug

LOL Ken is owning the others in that pic. :P

not a big fan of the cover, but love the song selection! :D

such a great cover =) Really, I like it. Will it be a cover for package or for all discs?

And promo pic is amazing! I love all four images, including Yuki %)
The tracklist is ok, I think tetsuya best will be my favorite )

seems Ken is most clever %)


btw, 4CD+DVD version already sold out at HMV and CDJapan

^ lol yeah I think that pic's funny . I think that's taken from the The L'Arc-en-Ciel Quiz which's taken from the DVD of the best album

LOL :laugh that should be interesting

you still can get the 4CDs + DVD best album at YesAsia but it's at US$59.25 X____X

http://www.yesasia.com/global/quadri...0-en/info.html

Weird that each cd is only 7 tracks. I'm glad that the much overlooked Sayounara is getting some love though.

Their return in 2011 is returning to their live tours I believe. Last year they announced they wouldn't be touring together for a while.

^that must be very funny quiz)

I already preordered this disc at HMV a week ago, but with Trans ASIA via PARIS - ... So I will be the last who get it T___T

somemore info surrounding the QUADRINITY ~MEMBER’S BEST SELECTIONS~ DVD

The members participate the panel show “The L’Arquiz” which is a quiz about L’Arc~en~Ciel as a solutionist.

Enjoy the heated 65 minutes of MC Mr. Shin-ya Ohwada and Ms. Aki Nakada’s entertaining talk and the members’ fabulous talk!

After you solve the questions about L’Arc~en~Ciel with the members on the screen, you will be a doctor of L’Arc~en~Ciel!

ok never mind .___.

sorry my excuse's that I have been very tired out after coming back from school

blame the weather too , I will delete the other posts of mine now

That cover is too fugly. I really love BLESS, can't wait for another single/album.

wow, it's cool their gonna be in a pepsi CM :P i hope a new song can be used in it.

not exactly the "new song" i wanted, but it's still pretty cool, i guess? lol. :P i'm just desperate for a new single.

^Isn't that the one Britney also covered? I doubt that'll be the song their covering then :P

found these single/song rumors:

the blogs that these rumors came from also said one of these songs would be used for a drink CM. and since their doing the Pepsi NEX CM, it kinda makes sense, lol. but it's still a rumor.

interesting, i hope it's true

OMG I hope it's true! I've been dying to hear Bye Bye in a decent quality since the L'Anniversary live x_x

I'm game for another L'arc single & for a moment there , I thought they might only release BLESS for 2010 before VAMPS overtake their schedule D:

tetsu (or tetsuya..?) will release a single in may and he'll have a live tour in july.

http://community.livejournal.com/min...ki/135587.html

^ Nice CM! The preview of the song is short but I like their version. I hope we'll get a full one later :yes

And YAY finally a new single from tetsu :heart

I like the title of Tetsuya's tour , it's very cool

I can so imagine him adopting casino like themes/styles for his tour performance & get up xD

So far, i can't wait

looking forward to the VAMPS single! :D

wow cool DVD cover

why am I getting KAT-TUN's QUEEN OF PIRATES vibes here ? xD :laugh

links are up to preorder VAMPS's upcoming new single

CD http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=XNVP-15

CD + DVD http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=XNVP-14

I'm actually surprised that the CD + DVD cost 500 Yen more than the CD only

I think it's the contents of the DVD that's worth the weight of the price ? o.o

According to VAMPS' MySpace, their next single is titled PANDA :heart

^love the name, yet can't say I'm excited to hear it. Whta I am excited to hear is their best collection which LH just uploaded :)

LOL

when I think of PANDA = DAIGO's Kumapanda drawings which he got them trademarked xD

I think it will be amusing if hyde were to use that in the single cover art for PANDA :roflmao

but NAH I don't think it will happen even though DAIGO & hyde are buddies

PANDA might be just a temporary name http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/Aderianu/8.gif

edit:
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...anu/sf8pic.jpg

1st Yusuke's Lion & then now VAMPS's PANDA ?

:laugh

anyway I hope the guys can nail #1 this week since albums wise things are quite quiet

their recent releases almost hit #1 but it's the case of so close but so far T-T

PANDA ?????????
Mmm sounds so weird, but i can't wait to hear the song

PANDA?! :laugh what is HYDE thinking? :P

i'm happy laruku is #1 today! :D

2 singles :dead2 so i guess the single isn't called PANDA after all? lol. DEVIL SIDE reminds me of utada's devil inside, and LIVE WIRE reminds me of the DL program LimeWire. :laugh

Aw, I wanted a single called PANDA lol
But both titles sound cool, I can't wait!

Maybe the song is about a devil panda, who knows

crazy cover, as usual. :P

HOT cover!!

it's very devilish O_O

Full song

That cover looks.... akward.... Don't like the pose at all. And the song is terrible to say the least O_o

^Agreed. I've never really enjoyed his poppy style, but this just isn't any good to me >.<

Well I think when tetsuya starts his solo career is not as good as when he is in a band, don't know why but the only song from him is Tightrope that sounds great~

^Actually, I loved Suite November from beginning to end. That was probably because he sang lots of hard rock songs that really suited his voice (e.g: Pretender, Scarecrow, Shinkirou etc.) But this song is so... upbeat and fast that... it just doesnt sound good. :(

DEVIL SIDE PV preview...


is it just me...or does it sound like HYDE's "COUNTDOWN" song? :shrug the way the song is sang sounds so similar.

I fall in love this preview :love

DEVIL SIDE PV



I agree with Lisa, the song kinda reminds me of COUNTDOWN too :yes

The song sounds like Crawling by Linkin Park in some parts

...crazy PV. :P i like the song, though. and HYDE looks great as usual :D
