[L'Arc-en-Ciel] The 8th Thread

[mi|kshake]

OMG how did I miss that Hyde's Kuro Misa concert is being released on Jan 29?

There's the standard editions and 2 Blu-ray and 2 CD version. Which to go for? Think I will wait for more information. The limited edition is so expensive and not something I can usually justify but I'm really happy they're releasing this concert so maybe I could be swayed? January is always a busy/stressful month in work so this could be a wee treat for myself.

No word what it might be

World tour ? New music if not new album ?

[mi|kshake]

^ I wonder? I hope it's something good. Folk on the Facebook page are speculating that it's either connected to the Tokyo Olympics or a disbandment announcement.

I'd love it if it were a new album although I don't know would they usually announce this on TV? Dying to know what it is lol.

[KarenPang]

I really hope it will not be a disbandment announcement

If so , that will already put a dampen on people's mood prior to attending ARENA TOUR MMXX :x

I do hope it's something positive . If L'arc be involved in next year's Olympics 1 way or another that will be great

All the guesses are wrong x)

L’Arc～en～Ciel opens official YouTube channel

Legendary rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel is finally catching up with the times! On the bands various official social media accounts, they shared the very exciting news that they now have their very own YouTube channel. The videos also are not restricted to Japan only!

Currently 3 full MVs have been uploaded so far. The singles “Honey” “Kasou” and “Shinshoku -lose control” were all released on the same day, June 8th, 1998. All three singles were a huge chart success for the group, each of them ended up selling over 1 million copies.

Additionally, the CM used to promote the singles was created again for the YouTube premier. The original was said to be a huge “hot issue” at the time. Furthermore, L’arc~en~Ciel teased another upcoming announcement.

[mi|kshake]

Wow, that was not what I was expecting lol! A big announcement for the opening of their YouTube channel?

Which I'm glad they've opened btw, there's a few L'Arc PVs I haven't seen in full. It's kinda annoying that the CM (or part of it?) is inserted into the middle of the PVs and appears at the end (at least I only watched Kasou and Shinshoku -lose control). It's a shame they're not in higher quality too. Not to totally complain about it haha but if they're gonna make such a big deal over a YouTube channel I'd like it in HD please.

I assume the next announcement will be the next batch of PVs (presumably Hurry Xmas?).

[mi|kshake]

It'd be nice if the announcement was about L'Arc's music (in full) being added to Spotify!

Translated MC parts from yesterday's concert , thanks to _kurosora @ Twitter

- The new song has a lot of Japanese lyrics

- Some fans said the new song is like L’Arc’s songs, and some said it’s like VAMPS’s ZERO

It talks about achieving dreams, never give up, believing in yourself.

HYDE: I’ve finally returned to Japan!

Fans: \\Welcome back//

HYDE: America tour was very tough. I missed you, I wanted to see you.

HYDE: It's impossible to do concerts without supporters.

I'm not doing this for someone else, I made songs I myself think they're cool, I made the music I like, then everyone has understood and supported me. And like this, we're gathering here from all around Japan.

This is the best, I don't have any regrets in my life.

[KarenPang]

Translated MC parts from yesterday's concert , thanks to _kurosora @ Twitter

HYDE: I stopped VAMPS. and in 2 years I've reached this point, I just need to keep going on.

I'm not that strong. I can't keep going on without your support. Your support is important. Because of your support, I'll be able to find some light in this darkness.

Before Ordinary World

HYDE: what a very beautiful view, these are not a normal lights, but the lights of my beloved ones, the lights of my supporters.

HYDE: everyone in the back!! don't suppose that I can't see you!! regardless of my look, I can see very well.....Because I'm wearing contact lens.

HYDE: aren’t they cute? I like them so much!

To everyone who doesn’t like these air dancers

xD

[mi|kshake]

Thanks for the translations and info Karen!

OMG Flower!! I need a longer clip Universal. Can't wait to get the L'Arc and Hyde blu-rays!

[KarenPang]

hyde will be the guest for next Thurs / this month's episode of DAIGO P

https://twitter.com/nicolive_PR/stat...92938470105088

This month's DAIGO P will be the final time DAIGO host the show while the last time hyde appeared on DAIGO P was back in April 2017

A bit disappointed BREAKERZ wouldn't join DAIGO in the final DAIGO episode but since AKIHIDE & SHINPEI already came this year back in Sept , I guess the next alternative would be hyde
