L'Arc~en~Ciel

Thank you matsu for both magazines!!! Haido looks like beautiful!!! And countdown is a very good song!! It is a shame that out of Japan couldn't hear the song in Stealth's movie :pout: ...I wanted to listen to her in the cinema! :metaldevil:

Thanks again pochi, I saw the videos and are very nice, I enjoyed them as if I was there :puppydog: The Chinese girls were shouting " Haidoooo-saaaannn!!!! " It was entertained to listen it ;)

Arigto by the photos ^^ Hyde leaves spectacular :nut:

Just downloaded a Chinese radio interview of Laruku. It was aired tonight but I think it was recorded the day after the concert. Will upload and translate later.

Anyway just my opinion but I think youyou has become rather weird after the Shanghai live. The "order" is to ban all sharing of files because it is well...copyright infringement. But isn't that what they have been doing for like soooo long? Seems as if they are trying to make up for the bad impression they left during the Shanghai live... :shakehead:

I'm not confident about my power of translating.
Just, every words are in really beautiful expression.
I wish I had a literary talent more!! :shamefulcry:

I hope you can enjoy it!

Thank you soo much for the translation nanagon. Wow, this song is so great. The (translated) lyrics are really good.

thanx Matsu for the photos!! *¬* Hyde is very kawaii :mrgreen:

Your welcome!
I'm regret I couldn't translate them satisfactorily, I tried very much though.
Japanese has much detail and possibility in the way to interpret than English. And he used to use old fashon style of written too, so I can't translate every smalls :shamefulcry:
Like, Japanese sentences are sometimes looking like incomplete as in English, so there're rooms that reader can pull ones emotion into it to complete sentences. So it depends on reader the way to understand.
(so we use English to explain something sometimes becouse it's simple)

I'm gonna make effort to be a good translater for everyone here!
Request me if you have something you want to read in English!
(I don't have much time untill I go back to Japan then I don't know I can do it in the near future)

Thx for the magz Matsu! Ken's guitar looks cool. He really loves flowers, doens't he? First on his pants and now on his guitar. Woo hooo... Tetsu's arms look great (he has been working out, definetely :mrgreen: )!!!

Nanagon... I've always wondered wat Tetsu sais during GRAND CROSS CONCLUSION, when they're playing Blurry Eyes. If you manage to remember that concert... would you mind telling me... hehe.

WELCOME *Laru*, more peruvians!!! WOOOOO HOOOO!!!

Hiiii! Miss Claus :woot: .... yeah more peruvian fans Laruku!!!

Disculpe mi inglés aun no es muy bueno, pero mejoraré...

Hi Claus!
Actually, I've been downloading the movie of GRAND CLOSS CONCLUSION.
Downloading is 491.33MB complete of total size 635.33MB now...
I don't know how long does it takes to complete...
If it's possible, can you upload the sound data of that scene in mp3?
So I can translate it soon.
(I bought the video tape of GRAND CLOSS in Japan, But I didn't bring it here..) :shamefulcry:


AND, I remember which song they sung in an accostic varsion in Hevenly films, "All dead"!

@ Blade: Domo arigato gozaimashita!!

@ Nanagon: I think I know what you mean. But it was a very good translation. I did find another, and it was very bad. But yours was good.

YAY ^__^!! My stuff came today!! I now have Moon Child, 666, and Smile tour 2004...

Smile tour 2004: Wow! I didn't realise there where that many people at a laruku concert!! How many people showed up for those concerts? Also, I loved the adition of PUNK~en~ciel!! That was soo great, Hyde's eyepatch was so kawaii. Yuki's gas mask was very funny too. Testsu's got a really good voice, and seeing Ken strugle on the drums was pretty weird :crazy:

Moon Child: I didn't know what to make of this one. It was very funny in places. Hyde's acting wasn't as bad as I had been told it was. Is it me, or are both Hyde and Gackt both very (un healthily?) thin in that movie?

666: Still listening to this one. I love Hello, does anyone have a translation? (nanagon?)... :sweat:

For anyone who's interested...lyryc and translation of COUNTDOWN

Translation

Embraced in all desires
Until this desiring body expires
A moment that can't be missed if slipped out quickly
To save you from the dark

I want it higher.
To get into his light.

Stay on my side I want to see a dazzling world
Let us exceed there isn't much time are you in?

13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2

Afraid of all the science
Yet it demands, I want to evolve
The countdown creeping from the deepening lonliness
It is the final call!!

I want it higher.
To get into his sight.

Stay on my side, tear apart the shell, change our fate.
Let us exceed, to the ends of the earth, are you in?

I wanna be there.
Need to be closer.
I want it higher.
To get into his light.

Stay on my side I want to see a dazzling world
Let us exceed, there isn't much time, reach!

Stay on my side, and now exceed the limits
Frail is the world, it's not a dream, are you in?

I found many mis translation....
So that's the trick of Japanese...

Embraced in all desires
—~‚µ‚ª‚ég‘́@s‚«‚é‚Ü‚Å
‘‚­”²‚¯o‚·‚Ȃ瓦‚¹‚È‚¢moment
To save you from dark

—~‚µ‚ª‚ég‘́@s‚«‚é‚Ü‚Å
the body which is demanding, untill it's drained

‘‚­”²‚¯o‚·‚Ȃ瓦‚¹‚È‚¢moment
If you escape earlier, you can't miss this moment

Above are literal translation, so combine with english part.

(We/I) embraced (each other/you/myself) in the all desires (of mine/of people/of us),
Untill (our/my) body exhausted.
To save you from the dark earlier,
I can't miss this moment.

Is the feeling from original lyrics in Japanese.

Becouse there is no subject in Japanese, any translator program machine never be able to understand Japanese poet...
You have to choose the subject with your comprehension.
But there is still a lot of way to understand in lyrics, that's the why it's so difficult for English speaker to understand Japanese.

I'm gonna translate HELLO and this song, please wait....

hello, my fellow friends. sorry for being dormant from this forum for almost a month! i've been reading much on this forum but was unable to reply because my computer went haywire. and since school just started not too long ago, i've been really busy. so many exams in a week. i'll still have to be dormant from this forum until my SATs are over. btw i heard you guys talking about Hyde's COUNTDOWN single so i decided to upload it here.
Hyde still sounds as sexy as ever!:mrgreen: Loved the beat to this song!:applaud: this song is addicting in my opinion. so plz enjoy.

here's Hyde's COUNTDOWN mp3:

Thank you for wanting to share these translations with us, it is of great help :mrgreen:
Yes, the Japanese is a very complete and difficult language compared with other languages. I am studying in house and it is very difficult for me :pout: . There are many pages with translations of Hyde's letters but each one says something different, I think that it is for this reason. Even if we have a good translation we cannot know with accuracy that the writer wanted to transmit... :confused:
But it is what more me pleases the music probably. I with my Japanese poor (alone some words :sweat: ) and my English I try to translate the songs and then I compare them with other translations. It is a way of knowing better what they say.
And thanks again for the pv's of mika, are so good!! :inlove:

You're welcome Meiko! I love those photos of hyde too :mrgreen:

My understanding is that the book "Words" is a collection of 2004-2005 interviews and is also supposed to include photos not previously revealed to the public and first live pictures.

Unfortunately, yes. :rant:

All words? I think I will save my money for the photobooks. :sweat:

Back to the radio clip...

There were two versions available, a 47.5MB complete clip and a 9MB partial clip that contains only the band's interview. I have uploaded the latter. If anyone wants to "collect" the complete clip, let me know I and will upload it.
