Yup haven release but the youtube site has the mtv liao..:D

[kazuki]

Yup haven release but the youtube site has the mtv liao..:D
Me also saw the PV liaoz. Hyde really shifting towards a more westernise rock style lor. The way the PV is filmed, the music style. Not bad lah, but doesnt have the feel of jrock or VR liaoz...

I think i saw a similar angmoh band's PV also abt the same background. Band members jamming away in desert.:thinking:

OMG!=D>
Its a beauty. Must cost a bomb...[-X
Maybe can ask Miss R. I know she collects dolls.


Is B'z considered J-Rock? I like their Konya Tsuki No Mieru Oka Ni
Yah, should be. I like Matsumoto Tak's guitar skills, really rocks lor. Music Station's theme song is by B'z wan. So whenever MS has any big event, they will invite B'z to perform and also play that song. In this song, there is a part which Matsumoto Tak get to do his guitar solo. That part always touch me everytime hearing it. One of the best guitarist in Japan.:beg:

[rookiyong]

Is he part of a group or as singles?

[Godmaster]

Is he part of a group or as singles?
He's the lead singer of the rock band L'Arc-en-Ciel and has released 2 solo albums so far..3rd one coming nx week..:D

[kazuki]

1st album was sentimental, 2nd album was more rock. Heard reviews that this 3rd is quite pop rock...

[shadowdancer]

oh my god.. wait, the singer is a he right?

[kazuki]

oh my god.. wait, the singer is a he right?
Bro, he considers to have tone down liaoz.(though still quite charming) If not u ask Chris abt the old Visual Rock. Say Hakuei from Penicillin, Mana from Malice Mizer or Yoshiki from X Japan. They are all legendary...=D>

This means he used to be very femanine? :thinking:

[kazuki]

I wont say feminine lor, coz thats the stage presense they project to their fans.
Visual Rock is something like the angmoh's glam rock. Marilyn Manson? Korn, Slipknots?

Unlike those mainstream music boy groups who just have to dance and sometimes "mouth sing", Visual Rock bands believe in bringing a visual and audio performance to the audience. Off stage, they are just normal ppl whom has female idols like normal guys.

瞳の住人 is my latest craze..This 2yr old track by L'arc-en-Ciel recently(yest in fact) caught my attention and i had been listening to it in repeat mode..:D

There are several tracks in the same album which are also good :supz:

[kazuki]

Chris, laruku will be re-issuing some of their 8cm and 12cm CD singles, all on the 30/08/06.
Singles like "Forbidden Lover", "Honey", "Dive to Blue", "Blurry Eyes" etc etc, a total of 15 singles.
Their prices vary from 582yen to 971yen.
Best moment for laruku's fans whom missed the old release to collect them now.

[Godmaster]

瞳の住人(Living in your eyes) english lyrics translation(credit to kiddo29 for finding the site) :

Countless … but some time has passed
How much do I really know you?
Not as simple as tracing a map with your finger
I know you’re trying to hide an anxious look

As if to resist the tomorrows that hurries on by
I run around, yet it’s a wonder … how my heart is full of you

If I look up, the glittering brims over, never to fade
If only I could be like the sun always shining so brightly

I want to be held in your fragrance…for just a little longer
Pulled by my collar into the air outside, I turned away

Blurry, white sighs indicate the passing of seasons
Repeating over and over, suddenly made me wonder…why am I here?

I want to stay by your side, forever watch you smile
Want to live in those eyes and feel the fleeting moments
Like a gentle landscape painting colored in an array of hues
I want to stop time forever

I want to stay by your side, forever watch you smile
Want to live in those eyes and feel the fleeting moments
If only I could one day take you away into the vivid seasons
To the flowers that bloom in the sky like snow…to the flowers

[Gabriel_Lucifer]

Hey anybody know any recent news of either Hyde or L'Arc~en~ciel?
Any more albums coming out soon?
Did anyone watched Hyde's movie called Last Quarter?

[Mr. Lostman]

L'arc~en~ciel only has one song I like, and I don't even really love it... :red:

Of coz i watched that film. I even have its dvd. :D
Its a pretty well done film i can say.

[Gabriel_Lucifer]

Hmm I find that the story abit boring...:|
I still prefer Moon Child than Last Quarter...
Anyone has news of their new albums?
Coming out any time soon? :drum:

Moon Child better than Last Quarter??

Hmm... Personally, i think Last Quarter is better, in terms of the backdrops and visual effects.
But actors wise, i will choose Moon Child for Gackt! He is one of the most gorgeous Visual Rock artiste lor.:hello:

i am not really a fan of laruku. Same go for the luna sea and glay. Dunno why this big trio, i just dun like...
But i like Hyde on his solo works.

[Gabriel_Lucifer]

Hmmm... True.
I got bored after years of Glay & Lunacy.
Hyde is doing well solo too!

But I think up and coming bands are very good!
Esp those from anime opening and closing!

[kazuki]

But me is still prefer those old school Visual Rock bands. Those modern Visual Rock bands are mostly just "looker" and not really musicians anymore le...

[Godmaster]

Finally.......After 2.5yrs since their last album "Awake", their new album "Kiss" is slated for a nov 21st release!
