Amazing find, I was wondering when they would sing it for tv.

Hmm, I think these songs will most likely be found in the "Theater of Kiss" dvd. Although the set list is kind of disappointing, I'm still mega-looking forward to it...its still Laruku! Kyaa!!! :woot:

Oh you should try to look for the albums. Most of my fave tracks are from pre- heart era.

Here's something rare I found on level3 bbs. Ten thousand internets if you already got this one.

uunfinished 7 tracksv1992/
1.Claustrophobia
2.‹L‰¯‚Ì”j•Ð - uCurelessv‚ÌŒ´‹È
3.’lj¯‚̏îŒi
4.No Truth
5.DUNE
6.Entichers
7.I'm in pain
http://www.badongo.com/jp/file/7201592

track 2 kioku no hahen [cureless] original composition
track 3: tsuioku no jyoukei

The qualityof the 7 tracks is bad, lots of sand, but at least it's not crackling and we can still enjoy the music.

and another million of internets if you can actually confirm that this is a really Laruku from the sakura era.

I have no idea the title, it's just said: Nostalgia.

We all know that there are bands that has strikingly similar vocals with Hyde. So, I'm gonna eliminate the possibility that the vocals in this track is Hyde
When I listen to the track, the bass and drums are very much remind me of Laruku in the early Sakura era. (the era which sakura as their drummer). therefore I'd like to believe that it's an early laruku song.

can anybody confirm that? or reject the idea?

I've always thought that the Nostalgia track was a L'Arc~en~Ciel track, because it sounds so much like Hyde and they play it during the credits of the I'm in Pain/Claustrophobia video.

I really like it a lot, whomever it may be, and I'm very glad to have a full version of the song, because they only play a brief clip of it in the credits I mentioned.

Thanks so much, Teskogawa.

Also, 4.6-Billion-Years-of-Love, a lot of my favorite tracks are from pre-heart era as well. My two favorite albums of theirs are Tierra and Heavenly; you should try to hear them both sometime.

Tierra and Heavenly are love!

white feathers, all dead, in the air and wind of gold are among my laruku all-time faves from tierra...

as for heavenly, i recommend garasu-dama and still i'm with you! kyaa!!!

Yeah, those are great songs. White Feathers has easily been my favorite L'Arc~en~Ciel song since the first time I heard it three and a half years ago.

Garasu-dama is probably in my top 5 as well.

Hola!! lurking since 2006? It's time for you to come out of the closet!!
I love too much laruku songs so I won't list down top 10s but I will say Shutting From The Sky/Claustrophobia since nobody list that yet.

Nostalgia is a L'arc's indies song. like shadowthrone, I only knew it as the credit song for I'm In Pain/Claustrophobia video so it's before Sakura's era.

Thanks for the confirmation, fellas! Millions of internets for both of you!
Hmm... I don't have "I'm in pain/claustrophobia" video, maybe that's why I never heard of Nostalgia before. My collection of pre-sakura is close to zero, thanks guys for giving me an additional info. Now I know something more of laruku.
