L'Arc~en~Ciel [official thread]

[Stargazer1]

Hello   My 100 post comes here... today I think a lot about L'arc~

 

^^

 

 wow... that's a lot of comments... I keep with this one hyde-san really is cool ... yes he is ... and all L'arc 

 

 

 

Hey!! Welcome!! I'm Lore,,, mmm I didn't read all the convo but are you  from south america?? 

Congrats on your 100th post.  Some J-netizens called him a narcissist.  He is not is probably because of his appearance. 

 

ROFL

Ha, j-netizens are funny... IMO, Hyde had a botox injection...I don't know about PS, though...From Vamps to 20th L'anniversary it's visible the changes...his face looks years younger again. And I laughed hard at the Megumi Oishi comment...she must have done some botox too... But, seriously, ofc that at his forties he would start sagging...he still looks great for his age. And they mention his cute size too...I find adorable the fact that he had this huge high heel shoes to be the same height of Megumi. Am I the only one that is really curious to see their child?

 

Hi Lore! Yes, I am! From Brazil, to be more exact. I'm Jess, nice to meet you!

I have ben listening to them again too... Abby was very kind and gave me the links to their new songs. I'm planning to download them and enjoy my 15th L'anniversary DVD  this weekend. Or the PV collection DVD that has till Nexus 4 PV... *my precious*

I do think he has had done something at least. Well, he is not like GACKT who is freaking obvious he has done a lot ps.

 

You aren't the only one. I have been curious for years to see how his son looks. We will never find out since it took some years to find out he was a boy. Hyde is the type not to talk about his personal life, so we won't know how his son looks like. I bet he looks like his father.

I was hoping for Hyde and Megumi to have another child but no (Japanese just have one).

Considering that Hyde only revealed the place where he was born recently in his biography, I have a feeling we won't hear from his son unless the boy decides having a music career as well.

 

OMG, Gackt looks...weird...almost doll like. That's the momnet where you should stop, buddy.

Hyde, on the other hand, looks quite cute with the huge glasses.

i feel like moving on from True and listening to another album. So what album should i listen to next?

 

I've only listened to their greatest hits album "clicked singles best 13" and True and Butterfly.

I would listen to Awake or Smile just a suggestion. Awake was release in 2005 while Smile was release 2004.

 

 

However >>>>>Like you were listing to True and their Clicked singles best I would recommend then with Ark or Ray.  These albums were release the same day and are their best sellers.

those links don't lead to anywhere L'arc related

i can probably find the albums no problem, just wanted to know which ones you guys would rec.

 

dam 2 full albums simultaneously released. I might start with Ark just because it has Driver's High and i watched GTO which it was the op for.

 

thanks

I just updated my links~ They should work now. I posted another site that has all the album's tracks in order. 

 

For some reason when I post my links it kept deleting them or messing them up when I updated. Now it should work. Let me know please! 

 

The site that I posted first is a Russian site to download the songs for free; however, you have to search them by title and artist name not solely album title. 

 

Let me know if you can see the albums.  There seems to be an issue with this site. Its slow, I can't get notifications, and bug problems. T_T

they all work except Ark still links me to the prostopler site. Don't worry i can find the albums no problem probably on 4shared and if not i can get them off jps.

 

you should probably delete the links though because we're not supposed to post dl links. I bookmarked them already anyways.

Its this site's bug that is keeping that link to old one. I'll pm you is that is fine.  

 

The only reason I posted these other links for you just have to click the download button and save it as an mp3 without having to converse a zip or rar version.  

 

YEah, I will delete the links now.

yea i usually PM or get a PM for links

[Stargazer1]

yea i usually PM or get a PM for links

Good to hear! You can listen to all their albums in that site and others JPN artists. 

 

Next time I will pm instead of posting links here. Let me know if you are having trouble find a place to download the songs. I own all their albums and can send you the songs you want. 

 

You are welcome! 

 

Seriously, this forum is lagging today.

What do you guys think if Sakura would still be with Laruku? I wonder if their music would have been a bit different then when Yukki was added. 

 

Why did Sakura had to do drugs and get caught?  -_-  He almost ruin their career. His actions where taken against the whole group and caused them to get blacklisted for a while.    I was thinking the other day G-Dragon is lucky that the music industry isn't as strict or as anal about drug users to the point for him to get blacklisted.

yes it is lagging. But they're working on it. It seems to be better right now though, it was kinda bad a few hours ago.

 

Compare it to american rock culture though, it's almost the norm for rockers to do drugs and stuff. Not even rockers but musicians in general too i guess.

Excuse me as I die from the the prettiness... O_O

Ok, on topic now: I liked the Laruku older style when Sakura was the drummer, so maybe the would keep their old style more, with soft songs instead of fast paced ones...

I would love it, but maybe, the fast tempo song were what lead to their mainstream success... I liked Sakura, I really did, but I'm ok with how they are now.

And as for the drug abuse...Sakura was dumb cause he was caught, but obviously there isdrug abuse in most music industries, not only the american one. It must be hard to avoid it.

Sakura... I have to admit that the difference is huge, I mean Sakura have an old good style that matched with the songs, big part of the singles with him are hits and the favourites for many fans. But Yukihiro gave them a new style, fresher and sometimes even if I missed Sakura's battery I like Yuki perfectionism and his research of new bits. Drink it down is amazing.

 

Sakura's scandal was a dumb mistake.. like how can hi did somethin like that in a really conservative country when you're a part of a famous band  really??... But he learned and following him on twitter I can see his cute tweets all the days 

Love you Sakura

LOL Hyde and his founded love for singing, at the concert I can note that his singing is better and with more tecnique, I'm glad he founded that be a singer is not that bad.. ..

Its one of my favorite songs from them. From Ray, Ibara no Namida is my favorite song and then Kasou. 

 

The PV is freaky partly because there is a snake. I don't like snakes so .......

Some demos:

 

 

 

I swear with this cover I thought I was listing to Marlyin Manson's version of this cover except the Engrish.

snake was so random. It looked kind of cool though because it was bright yellow. I remember in elementary school at an assembly there was a giant boa constructor type snake and we were allowed to go pet it, but i was too scared at the time. 

 

I didn't even know that Marylin Manson wasn't the original singer of that song.

A gigantic Boa snake ......  I would have been scared, too. I hate bigger snakes even more. I guess I have a phobia towards snakes since where I used live when I was younger there where snakes that sometimes would get inside the house. *shivers*   Like one time, there was a snake under my brother's bed. 

 

You aren't the only one who thinks that about Sweet Dreams. Eurythmics are the original. Its a fun song well the original one.

Where are the fanboys? I swear in most Jrock threads there are mostly female fans postings. Why is that? Well, when it comes to Jrock threads. 

i'm the same way with rats/mice. In where i used to live we had them and it grossed me out so much. They would run behind the sinks and behind the fridge. One time i went to the bathroom at night and one crawled under the door and ran around...I had to keep my feet in the air while i waited for it to run back under the door  . In biology when we had to disect a dead rat, i let my partner do everything and i just did all of the notes (forever grateful to him)

 

Oh i've heard that version a bunch of times, it's the one that plays in movies and stuff for dances.

 

I'm the only guy that posts in the OOR thread so i know how that feels (well regularly at least). But i think in the jrock thread here, we're actually mostly guys. Me, Ryu, Nanana, and MoreTokyo are all guys. Robosexual might be a guy too.

Same here! Rats/mice are just ew.  Good thing my cat likes to kill them, and she is good at killing them and anything smaller than her (like cockroaches, flies, bees, birds, and etc). I hate rats as much as I hate snakes. You brought me some bad memories about rats. My mom would put rat traps in the apartment where we lived, and I would see them all trap in the bathroom corner. 

 

You got to dissect a rat?    Well, I"m sure that wasn't fun. In high school, I got to dissect frogs. They smell horrible. I almost vomit when I was dissecting it. 

 

I know some people got to dissect baby pigs and jelly fish. I hear jelly fish is slimy.

 

Well, I do see more males posting in the Jrock thread but when it comes to individual bands' threads there is mostly females posting. I don't really see males hardly posting in actual bands' threads. I gave up in h8 the glay thread and some others since it seem there is no fans.

 

Yeah, robsexual is a guy. 

 

Lol you are like the only guy posting in this thread. In h8, there was 3 guys who posted.
