L'Arc~en~Ciel

I'm actually trying to adjust to my new guitar still even though its been 4 days. I haven't gotten real solid playing time with it. It looks like a standard gibson les paul in ebony, but since the real thing costs thousands I just got an Epiphone version. I got lucky cuse the shop just got a new shipment so they were selling them cheaper :D I'm gonna go play some more rite now :P

L'arc~en~Ciel "SMILE" June 29, 2004

Tofu Records announces the release of L'arc~en~Ciel's full-length album "SMILE" on June 29. L'Arc~en~Ciel is one of the most popular rock bands in Japanese music and they constantly sell millions of records and sell out arenas throughout the world. They're back with the album "SMILE" after a 2 year hiatus to pursue solo projects. Recently their singles "READY STEADY GO!" and "Living in Your Eyes" and
this album album "SMILE", which contains the two hit songs, all debuted at #1 in Japan. US version includes "Ready Steady Go-Hydeless version" as bonus track.

yay!!! smile is being released in the u.s.! i hope it sells well

guess who! (>o<)/

. . . i'm back. sorta.

I've been really busy at university here in Japan, with my finals and such. Also, I was actually getting a bit sick of all the talk about amateur bands and guitars (should be under another thread i think, even if people claim they play laruku songs or whatever) yeah, so i left for a bit.

Glad you're all enjoying the L'Arc album..

It is about a month from now until I see the SMILE live concert for myself in Osaka. (^^) I'm thinking of dressing up like the guys, with the yellow 'smile' box heads and such. Should be fun.

Also, I'm sure you know this Jules, but the other day I was in a bookstore and I noticed a magazine done by Laruku about their SMILE concert and such. It has maps of the arenas, ideal eating places and what not..quite interesting. Oh, and a LOT of photos.

Time to bail! Take care everyone.

O ya jules....there's a book in this shop in canada which had Hyde giving people the finger on the cover and it says hyde 666. Any idea what's inside? I would get it but it's $60 Canadian!!!!

I heard the new L'arc single on the radio last night here in Kobe. (^^) It is great, I love it. More or less like some of their older stuff in a way. :applaud:

Does anyone know where I can download or get the SMILE dvd? Maybe a torrent? Any ideas Jules?
