I've practically stopped listening to other music too... :sweat: Here at kaaraokes, they don't play ANY Laruku song, so all I have left are the LARUKU NIGHTS, in my house or at Rebecam's, but is just the two of us, cuz none of our friends could stand a complete night of Larc (silly 'em).

Guys :shocked: ... have you noticed that Revelation is similar to Marilyn Manson's_Beautiful People (at the begining), or am I crazy? And that Heaven's Drive has some influence of Toni Braxton's_Un-break my heart (the chorus part). Is that or my friends are starting to freak me out. :banghead:

Neither could my friends :shamefulcry: I used to be known as true jazz/soul lover, when they found out about the change of preference they thought I've gone insane. Because Jazz/Soul dont go along with J-rock :lol:

Oh Ive known out about that quite a while, some music reviewers in the internet have mentioned it. At least there are two different reviwers have referred the song as "Marilyn Manson Song" Ive never listened to Beautiful People though. I love Revelation, but the thought that it is somewhat similar to Marilyn Manson makes me :usuck: (sorry if there's a Marilyn's fan here) Cause it bears the fact that I could be musically inclined to his work too :sweat: Did u also know about the fact that Hyde is a fan of Marilyn Manson? I guess similarities amongst songs are very common, it could've been just pure coincidence. but there's also a chance that it's not so especially if u have been musically influenced by a persona.
Tony Braxton? Whew....are you sure bout that ?

Lol... I was more into punk, indie and some national stuff but then LARC appeared and my obcession started. :sweat:

Actually Beautiful People is a great song (off topic?), and yep, I read something about Hyde being a Marilyn Manson fan... so he may have influenced in that song. About Tony Braxton... well... it just sounds like that, not the whole song, but the chorus.

Since you mentioned MM's The Beautiful People, maybe you'd like to check this out:

http://www.spaceshowertv.com/vmc/program/selecta/bn_169.html

HYDE selected a list of songs to be played on radio, namely:

¡ MADONNA@uFROZENv
¡ BJORK@uALL IS FULL OF LOVEv
¡ MARILYN MANSON@uTHE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLEv
¡ NINE INCH NAILS@uONLYv
¡ NINE INCH NAILS@uSTARFUCKERS INC.v
¡ APHEX TWIN@uCOME TO DADDYv
¡ SLIPKNOT@uDUALITYv
¡ SLIPKNOT@uBEFORE I FORGETv
¡ RAMMSTEIN@uDU HASTv
¡ JAKALOPE@uPRETTY LIFEv

It was interesting to listen to what he is interested in to find out his "taste". I thought Beautiful People was a great song (not that I like MM or anything). I managed to download the songs in red, uploading now.

Download

I don't have it or know whether it exists. I don't have alot of old Laruku stuff :shakehead:...never really tried to look for them... :bonk:

Thx you pochi!!! Hyde has good taste in music even I remember reading that he doesn't listen to a lot of it. Nine inch nails, Bjork are great though. Of Ramstein, DU HAST, is the only song I've listened to. Could be interesting trying to figure out what groups influenced in Larc music, specially for each member.

audience's voive:
--(in Japanese) they has a lot of styles in each song like rainbow's colors, that's mu fav point. I love their all things that voice, guiter, base, and drums.
--Laruku is our religion. I wanna go to Japan's concert someday by saving money heardly.
--(in Japanese) whenever I listen their songs, I can forget about all bad mood and be happy. I can alive thanks to their songs, their songs are always in my mind. please keep going and be our star forever!
--I've been their big fan and listening their songs every during recesses since I was high school student. I'm living far from Soul, but I don't wanna lose this chance and came.
--Laruku is my vitality of life. They are invaluable existance for me becouse I can get over my bittter time and hard time by listening their songs.
--they can get 1st on the sales chart even they've been paformanceing for long time since their debut, yet they don't forget to make efforts, so I like them. everytime I'm excited for waiting their bland new song.
--(in Japanese) Please come to Thai! everybody, loves, Laruku!
--(in fruent Japanese) I went AWAKE tour at Osaka. but today's is really different, I was suprised. I watched them in Japan at the first time for me, and I didn't expect about Korea's one and worried, but I really think they are great, now I'm super happy. MCs were cute. Ken's was the best. hyde's also was cute but when he said "Jump!" in Korean, I wasn't able to understand him. I'm impressed about they spoke all in Korean.
--(Japanese)It's very different from the mood in Japan and I enjoyed it. I'm happy to come here, my feeling in Korean is something like "saranheyo" (I love you)?

Audience's voice:
--I've been their fan since I got moved by watching their perfoemance of Niji on convert video around 7 years ago. today is the day we fan's dream came true. "making waves" was unexpected event for me. I was happy to hear yukihiro's voice. Everybody spoke good Chinese and I'm impressed. I'm so happy. I wanna tell this feeling to the member. We're looking forward to the second live. Please keep goin' and going to play forever.
--(With a MD of album "HEART" in one's hand) this is the best of my favorites. (this person found that during his/her trip to Japan 7 years ago at CD shop by accident) I love them forever. Thank you. Please come again. I can't wait, I'm waiting.
--(with wailing with mixed emotions of moving and sadness of the end of the concert) I'd waited for them this 6 months! I love hyde very much!
--There a lot of fans of them in China, so please more promote their advertisements in China area. I think this concert wasn't informed all over the country in some ways. Or only 10000 tickets must have been sold out easily!
--I've been their fan after I heard "Blurry Eyes" and "snow drop". I love new "Link" too. Please inform when they sell a new song to Chinese. and I want read their news on website in Chinese always.
--I got their CD from my friend in Japan. I'm so impressed and I can't stand without crying today. I was crying and singing. Especially "Jyojyoshi" and "Hitomi no jyuunin" were so nice. Hyde's MC was good. Testu's MC was funny. (With the banana in her hand) I'm gonna put this into fridge after vacuum packed it.(lol)

So it's Evergreen-rock. I was wondering what is this old song doing in a brand new single
And to Matsu66 : "Kimi ga ICHIBAN"

I downloaded Hyde's Hello PV seconds ago. It's pretty cool. That's remind me that Countdown is not really good in term of music and video. Evergreen (slow version) also make me sleepy.
Just wondering, what are ur favourite video clips from Hyde.
Mine:
1. Shallow Sleep
2. Horizon

Thanks for the scans and translations, matsu & nanagon! :dancing:

don't you just love them for this? :dancing: just like what i have said before in the earlier post.. they made it easier for fans :metaldevil:

i'm with ryuusei here :applaud: i also think that it's very common if someone makes a similiar song to someone else's.. and i believe it's all because of coincidence. what is really happening is that you are influenced to somebody else's music so it could sound similiar. i haven't heard beutiful people, but unbreak my heart... well, it would be the very-slow version of heaven's drive but only in the "ride on heaven's drive" and "unbreak my heart" part.. and it's not THAT similiar, actually. just there are several same note in different tempos, i guess.

@Matsu :
Matsu, a lot of thanks for all the instrumentals! i saw your complete instrumental upload but forgot to copy it into "quote" besides the hitomi no junin instrumental upload :sweat: the size is so big, it's gonna need a lot of hard work to get the download done but i want them so bad :victory: thank you, Matsu!

@Nanagon :
Thanks a lot for the translation! :applaud:

Sorry people who PMed me. I spent the whole day uploading to ysi yesterday and it still didn't work :shamefulcry: So I went with megaupload.
