You never know. gan-shin is something of a mess.


Is it really? I don't follow it so that's too bad. I was just passing along the info I saw on the website: http://www.gan-shin.de/

Und wieder einmal gibt es tolle Neuigkeiten aus dem Hause Gan-Shin!!! Gan-Shin kann stolz die neuesten Signings bekannt geben:
L'Arc-en-Ciel, die Superstars des japanischen Rocks, werden am 18.05.2007 ihren Album Klassiker "DUNE" veroeffentlichen.

L'Arc-en-Ciel "DUNE": 18.05.2007


I studied German for 4 years so I was able to do a quick translation just for myself, but I'm sure there are others on here who can give a better description if anyone wants to translate it.

Hello everbody :woot:

Well... I'm new here! I know this forum quite a long time but I had never the courage to register... cause my english isn't the best.. but finally I'm here :victory: I hope you will understand me...

The first time I've herad the music of Laruku was in 2004 and since this time I'm a big fan :mrgreen:


i've never actually met any L'Arc fan "live" . and I'm studying japanese and am in touch with a lot of japan admiring people. the most of them don't know L'arc, the rest are Diru fans ( ) , and those who left know L'Arc, but don't care about them and wouldn't go to their concerts. The most people here, who know japanese music, only know and like those horror visual shocking bands
i've also haven't met a lot of german fans (i'm talking bout germany here ^^ ) in the internet either.




yeah... Here in Germany there are a lot of fans of Visual Kei. And everyone I know also knows who L'Arc is, but they only like hyde and his solo works...
I can say I really konw a lot of people who listen to japanese music but as Ri:ka said most of them only listen to Dir en grey, Gazette and so on.. and if you say you like Laruku you're not cool, cause Laruku is too normal for them (L'Arc don't wear the Visual Kei fashion..) So it's not so easy for a L'Arc fan in the german Visual Kei scene...
I'ts kind of strange how people think about japanese music and Visua Kei here in Germany.. :shakehead:

And Gan-Shin..... well it's better I say nothing about it... :grumble:

Welcome to the forum, Yuuki!! :victory:

@Noe-chan:

Hmm, somehow I am not surprised that it's a P'Unk~en~Ciel song. When I saw the eyepatch on the Music Station, I thought of P'Unk!hyde! HONEY is already a cool song so it will be interesting to hear the P'Unk version!

i couldn't agree with you more, -Yuuki-! :applaud:
the L'Arc fan's situation in germany is no good :shakehead: people around only like bands wearing dresses and ugly make-up, covering themselves with blood and screaming throughout all of their songs, thinking normal looking bands with 'normal' melodious music is not cool enough and just boring :shakehead:
and Gan-Shin just promotes this visual kei image what makes the situation only worse... :grumble:

welcome to the board -Yuuki-! :woot:

i did it when i had a lot of school tests (excuse :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry: )
And I'm more creativ than you two :usuck:

(how is it right? :sweat: )
14 Apr 2007, 02:28 #11349
There is no other translation than "Die Farbe singt..."
"The color is singing"... is "Die Farbe singt".... It sounds stupid but the content is the same. I only can make it sound more beautiful than it is now.
Let me tell you something this is my first and definitely last time that I'm translating L'Arc en ciel lyrics. You haven't translated DRIVER'S HIGH XD.
Can you come online I will send you the german translation via msn. feel free to correct.

@ yuuki
Welcome!!!! Another person from our small country called Germany. XD

Welcome to the thread Yuuki! It seems that there are many fans in Germany, you're lucky to have a record company like gan-shin that is releasing cds. Well, I know the most are visual kei works but at least you have something xD In Spain I know many fans of Laruku and there are a few concerts in events of vk bands too, but I would like to go to a cd shop and see albums of my favorite artists.

About HONEY 2007, I'm impressed because I thought SHINE would be a c/w. But isn't bad! I like P'unk~en~Ciel versions and HONEY was a hit, so I guess the single improves with this song.

Thanks for the nice welcome everyone :dancing:

Do you mean Dir en grey? xD I don't like them, too. Especially their new album... I've got friends who like them very much but i can't understand this... :shakehead:
I listen to Visual Kei bands, too, but I prefer such bands as Gazette. Their styling has nothing to do with blood or so :victory:
But my friends accept that I'm a big fan of L'Arc and other bands like that, and I'm very glad about that. :woot:


SEVENTH HEAVEN'S c/w will be HONEY 2007


That's really cool, I really love P'UNK~EN~CIEL :dancing:

now that you say it......

Welcome -Yuuki-!!! :woot: good to know that there are more german fans!

I also found a group of about 60 people in the german "studivz" (a platform for students), forgot about them in my last post...... but they are not that active as we here :mrgreen:

oh I already loved the original song......... can't wait to hear the new version :dancing:

The release of dune is sure. Check gan shin

:bonk: buah..... could have gotten that idea myself....... that's what happens when I'm ill, my mind stops working properly......
14 Apr 2007, 04:50 #11353
Me too! I can't imagine how it will sound like!

But I'm glad SHINE isn't the c/w, then we will have a new single someday and more P'UNK~EN~CIEL's c/ws!

And what about the new song at L'Anniversary?? I've heard no news about it! So that makes... two more singles??? :s

Well, for Japanese music, we're pretty lucky in the US. Yet for the music I like in general (European Metal), there's no better place than Germany. :mrgreen:

Ah, P'UNK~EN~CIEL, they're always fun. I'm looking forward to thier new songs quite a bit.

It was all set up, just so you know. Hyde's staff took all the photos of him on purpose. He post it for April Fools as April monthly letter of Hydeist Times. XD

Gactka I will PM you the pictures and Tetsuya too.
