Thats not it. Its not just manga that was made by Larc/hyde fan. I am looking for pro mangaka like Kaori Yuki.
If u still dont know what i am talking about, find Angel Sanctuary manga. Kaori Yuki use hyde's image as one of the character.

Alright, I'll say a little bit. This isn't much of a review, though.

I went to the Anaheim show, and the opening act, Blacklist Club, was alright. Better than I expected, but they sounded a little bit too much like an american high-school garage rock band for my tastes.

Thankfully, there wasn't too much of a wait for Hyde. During the intermission, they were playing some famous orchestral piece that I, unfortunately, can't remember the name of at the moment. Yet when it got to the climax of it, they really turned it up loud and built up the excitement, and then everyone walked out and started right into Jesus Christ. At first you could hardly make out what was going on, it was just a wall of sound and I couldn't tell it was Jesus Christ until hyde started singing. Yet a little bit into the song, Kaz went over to his amp and tweaked a few things, and maybe the people at the sound board did a thing or two and it sounded fairly clear and great for the rest of the night.

I won't give the order of all of the songs they played, because I can't remember. Yet they played everything but I Can Feel and Mission from Faith. I really wanted to hear them play Mission, but oh well. They also played Sweet Vanilla, Hello, Midnight Celebration, and Hideaway from 666. Lastly, they played the heavy version of Evergreen, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and Glamorous Sky (or at least I think that was what it was, because I still haven't heard that song).

Anyways, the band sounded great the entire night. Hyde's voice was in my opinion as good as it could be. Also, there were a few funny moments over the night. Hyde spoke a fair bit of english to us and did a pretty good job, but there was a time when he said "I'm so happy to see me!" then there was sort of a moment of silence and then everyone started to cheer anyways. About 1 second after hyde said that he realized what he had just said and just started laughing at himself. Then he said "I'm so happy to see YOU!" *cheer* "Are you happy to see me?" *cheer* Even I just thought that was too cute.

Also, during Midnight Celebration, he was really getting into playing his guitar and then he ran up to the microphone and started singing the first verse and about 2 words into it he realized that he started too early. He then stopped and laughed and then Kaz gave him a funny look.

Lastly, I can't remember the song right now, but he did the famous screw up the words and then just smile thing. It was really brief, and I only noticed it because I know the words to most of the songs fairly well. So I was singing along and then noticed that he faked it through a few of the words, but he almost did it believably, and then smiled at everyone.

Surprisingly, Furuton almost spoke more than hyde and had really good english. I think I might be misremembering this, but at one point he said "my real name is saito (or something along those lines), but I'm known as Furuton and many of my friends just call me futon." That was nice.

Anyways, that's enough of my "little bit" of a review. I'm sorry so many people couldn't make it, but I do hope you got some enjoyment out of what I've said here. I think it's already been anounced, but they had a lot of cameras all over the place, and so they are going to release a DVD of at least pieces of the 4 US shows, aren't they?

ZOMG! I READ THAT MANGA TOO! I'ts call Perfect Girl Evolution, or the Wallflower. I think on the freetalk corner she mentioned L'arc en Ciel, and how she liked them, ad that's why she chose it as the cafe name.

Another manga with a L'arc reference was Hana-kimi (Hanazaraki no Kimitachi e) was a fan sent in a letter saying that one of the characters, Nanba resembled Hyde.

hmm... I don't think it was, since it was sung by Mika Nakashima, hyde just wrote it.

ahhhh but no one on tofu can remember that accurately as well. Oh well.

Yeah, shirokiryuu, after looking into it more. I saw that someone said it was the rock version of Unexpected, another song of his I haven't heard. I'm willing to believe them.

I have heard, though, that he has played and sung Glamorous Sky live before, but maybe I'm wrong.
