Anyways, HYDE's solo songs would definitely be more popular than the Laruku songs as far as breaking into America goes. "Countdown" reminded me a lot of popular (and good) rock songs. California is a good place for him to debut since there's a lot of diversity there.
Yeah, overall I prefer L'arcs stuff, but I love Hyde's solo material as well and it does sound more "Americanish." Especially Faith, which was recorded in LA using several American musicians and technitions.

I'm so happy that I got to see 3 of the 4 show and that they were all very successful. Although, a selfish part of me hopes that his popularity remains relatively "underground" here.
