Hi cwenting! Welcome! :mrgreen: The clicked singles best 13 album is a good one if you are looking for a sample of laruku's songs from over the years. If you are looking to start collecting all of their albums, my favorites were heavenly (although this one doesn't seem to be a favorite with most), TRUE, HEART, ark...heh...I love them all, they are all good :mrgreen:

That is perfectly on topic! :mrgreen: There is no Japanese version of The Cape of Storms. HYDE's vocal version was not on the soundtrack (at least I don't think so), but there were two instrumental versions (piano & guitar).

matsu66- Thanks for the info!! It's a pity that the soundtrack doesn't include the vocal version..Anyway I'm now finding the music sheet for this song~~Does anyone here have it?? :sweat:

Hi cwenting and all newcomers. We always love to welcome new members. Have a good time here in this forum.
If L'arc is ur first experience with J-rock, any album from 1998 onward would be a good start. At least thats what I did when I started to listen to their albums (instead of listening 2 just a couple of songs). Aozora is right, u cant go wrong w/ Best L'Arc-en-Ciel 1998-2000. U'll find the songs relatively easier to listen to. :hehe: Matsu66's choice Clicked Singles Best 13 Album is excellent since the tracks featured in the album were carefully chosen through fan votes throughout the world. I heard there are 3 different versions of the particular album, each with slight different tracks featured. Smile (2004) is also a good album to begin with. The tracks are not too hectic and I found it to be much milder to new listeners.
U can check out an excellent Laruku discography that contains many facts that has never been featured in other sites:
