Woah, Juliana... you're a true supporter!!!
Have you ever met your idols? I don't know if such thing is easy in Japan but I think you'd really love to meet them... am I wrong?
I started liking L'arc en ciel when you wrote you cried listening to "anata"... and I liked that song very much, even if I can't understand the lyrics... :sweat:
I like that kind of song by L'arc en ciel. I think in "smile" there aren't such kind of songs, but I haven't already heard all the songs. Is there any other song (even old) similar to "anata"?
I've downloaded from www.l-arcenciel.com that tv show featuring Hyde and Ken... veeery funny!!! :D

well..about laruku new album..smile..
i think its agreat album, sutekina...
full of rock..yeah....
mostly i like what is written by tetchan....subarashi no uta ne...
i wish i could be in japan at this time...lots of laruku......
:(

Today is SMILE DAY on Osaka FM 802!! L'Arc all day! Hooray! hee hee!!

[edit] I forgot to add: I am going to be at the CD shop right when it opens to grab a copy of the Limited Edition SMILE CD! (>_<) hahahahaha...

I heard on the radio today that Tetsu doesn't drink alcohol. The radio announcer asked him in a teasing sort of way 'so you get jealous/envious when others are getting tipsy (and thus happy, talkative)?' and so Tetsu replies 'yeah.. ><'

Yep.. it rocks being here! (^^)! Although you guys are REALLY well updated by just Jules herself, for example.

so..
are the girls interested?
*laughs*

I've had many girls ask me if i 'have a gf'.. so does that count? (^^):::

For how long a period will you be in Japan?
Wait...
you're in Kobe aren't you?*tilts head to side*
isn't that..in kansai??

Yes, Kobe is part of Kansai. I speak more or less Osaka-ben, than Kobe-ben though.. hmmm.

I am in Japan until around Christmas this year.

The sakuras are coming out I assume...
Now, tell us everything!
What exactly is going on in Japan socially now,
THEN you should tell us about
University life.

Yeah the sakuras are out in bloom!

My university life? Hmmm,... study, study, study i guess. Things will get exciting really soon, as school resumes for all the Japanese students (thus university clubs start getting active again.. :mrgreen: ).

Aa..such a slave driver..
That i am..
*giggles*
Thanks!

:beaten:

woow...its been a long time since my last post. got left behind. hiks...gotta catch up quick.

I'll fight for a copy! haha...

But yeah seriously, I am curious as to how many people will be lined up, if any, to grab a copy hey. With the amount of CD shops around,.. I wonder if any L'Arc fans living near me will know of 'my' CD shop which is sort of hidden around this corner, down some stairs and yeah.. sounds like a cave or something! :rolleyes2: Actually, the first time i went looking for that shop it took me 20 minutes to find.. i walked past it about 3 times!! :sweat:

Good luck to all you guys who already have/are ordering it online! (^o^)/

Grrr...
I feel like bouncing over there with a pogo stick
& smacking your head.

What happened??
What happened on Osaka FM 802?
*large puppy dog eyes*

Yeha, you're right.
If it weren't for Juliana,
we would be...
lost.
Bobbing in a sea of darkness.
Without a light,
Err.. you get my drift.
Thanks Jules!
I feel like just popping up where you work or
in your college & demanding you get a raise.
*laughs*

So do you have a gf?
*I am being extremely nosey*
Ah..must be romantic ne..
Strolling arm in arm under the sakuras,
closing your eyes in bliss when the wind blows & also to avoid
particles being blown into your eyes..
Nn.. in that case, the particles would be hitomi no juunin..

Sorry..bad joke.

...okay, i tried to pretend like i didn't care that i was almost like the "only" person who didn't have that "matthew's best hit tv" thing... but it's not working -_-;;

besides bt or www.l-arcenciel.com, does anyone know where i can download it? or if anyone has it... with free space on a server... do you think i could download it from you? =D i'll love you for the rest of my life, i promise!!! =D

...thanks anyway.

You..are not alone.

Hmm.. Strange but all those yellow smileys are startign to...
creep me out

Mallepa, I'll be happy to give you that file, but you have to wait until I'll have changed the kind of connection I have... up to now I pay for the time I'm connected, but when I'll have a flat rate dsl conection (that means in a week) I'll be happy to share files 24 hours a day. But you should have winmx, it's the easiest way to get the files I have.

thank you soooo much!!
i have winmx, but it's so complicated to download stuff off it. half the downloads on there don't really work... oh well. tell me when your online next week =D thank you sooo much!!! =D

Hey Mallepa....I already got dsl so I can also share the file but I can only send it through msn messenger. If you add me to the list then I can send it to you

thanks so much... =D again!
i'll add you in a second. =D I should be online... tomorrow at 4 or 4:30.

brazzy, thanks anyway =D I really mean it!!

I OWN THE L'Arc~en~Ciel SMILE -LIMITED EDITION- ALBUM!

HA HA HA HA HA...

Rocking up early to be one of the first customers served me well... only 3200 yen too!

On a side note,...

The cute girl at the CD shop remembers me! (>_<) hee hee hee..

What a great day today is! wheeeeeeeeeee!

p.s. Tensaispira:

I answered your questions.. just look on page #38 of this thread.

GUYS I GOT MY VOCALIST!!! Well...nothing's set in stone yet, cause I only talked to him today in the hallways, but he seemed interested. The answer was right under my nose. I've know him since grade 5 and we were pretty close friends for awhile and then I remembered him singing for a talent show once. He's no Hyde (that's for sure) but at least he can sing the low notes great....like Hyde's 666 album. Can't wait to play together as a band. I got my summer planned now. 1. Get job for better guitar 2. Look for more talented vocalist (I know we just got a new one, but I kind of only asked him cause we really desparate) 3. Learn how to play all of Ken's solos 4. Study for school 5. Listen to laruku all day...lol.

Sakura's drumming was definately nicer to listen to than Yuki's. I actually like their transition from beginning up til now, there songs are more polished now and more presentable while the first couple albums were more raw. Hmmm....are you looking for english bands or j-rock bands....I'll get you a few bands after you tell me which.

they're raw but that's their DEFINITE ORIGINAL style... now i'm more interested in the bands you are talking about to have a similiar style to Laruku's... i'd like both of it i mean english and j-rock... you just gimme the names though... don't have to give me the downloads... I'll appreciate it if you do... OK see ya :D

*returns high five* (^^) ho ho ho..

That's insane, you got it today!? Do they send copies out a day or so earlier to make it so fans in other countries receive it on the 'release date' like the Japanese do? Or did you just get it SUPER-EXPRESSED!? :beaten: haha..

Anyways,..

*dances in a circle holding Jules' hands* hee hee (><)

So happy for you to have your beloved copies of "Smile"!!! :D
I think there isn't any chance to see those albums here in Europe... :mecry:
Could you please tell me what are the names (in romaji) of the tracks number 1 and 7?? Thanx a lot!! :thumbsup:
It's not fair I can't get the stuff I want... :banghead:

Oh, could somebody please tell me where I can find the lyrics of hitomi no jyuunin?? Thanx!! If you wish you can also send it by mail, if you already got it... Thanx!!! :flyingkiss:

I'm wondering if Laruku's best supporter is Juliana or Moccona... but I bet on Juliana!!
