Anyhoo, on with the L'Arc-ness.. Woo!!! Cool! I didn't know that Countdown was on Stealth! That means I have to go and see it now.

Glad to hear that you passed! So what's next? A written test?

I think you can only hear Countdown if you watch Stealth in Japan i.e. the Japanese release. When I watched the Final Fantasy movie, I was hoping to hear Spirit Dreams Inside during the end credits but it turned to be Lara Fabian's The Dream Within

Can someone upload this PVs?

-Orenji no Taiyou(or it's just an audio sound?)wanna hear it.....
-Flood of Tears
-I don't know the rest...
I don't relly know which song from the old album that have a video.
Can someone upload the old PV's?

Please....

Isn't a photoshop work, are a few photos for a magazine, I think I have more pictures like this. If you want it I can upload them.

Thanks Nanagon for the translation of that page! I enjoyed during read it

Hi Meiko, did you try "Right-Click and Save-Target-As" instead of just clicking the link?

Yes pochi, I tried click on "save target as" but didn't work. The file only was opened but I can't save in my pc.

Um..I know I'm feeling stupid for asking this, demo..... Who is Hyde real name? And who's his wife full name? And also Gackt real name [it's out of topic i know, gomen..]? Arigatou

I think the real name of Gackt is Gackt Kamui, but I'm not sure.

Yup, in two weeks time.

If you watch the FF movie past her song, you'll here Spirit Dreams Inside, its the english version though

Also, I found a real good way of practising my Hiragana "skils", I fiind L'Arc lyrics in Romanji/whatever and re-write them in Hiragana (obviously without kanji, since I only know one). And then I ask my Japanese tutor to check them over for me. Also, I wrote a small computer program to help me too. Would anyone like a copy of it?

Anyhoo, so it was Shishoku on Godzilla? Cool! I've never actually seen the American remake of Godzilla, but I heard somewhere that L'Arc where on the OST. I may have to go out and see that movie now.

And (quoting from 3yen.com), "Gackt M.S. Camui (�K�N�g), [but most often written in English]" is gackt's full name.

wow! you wrote a computer program? heh, can i get i copy? i'm trying to learn japanese too and haven't been able to find a good program to help.

if you watch the utaban episode with Kasou, they talked about godzilla and shinsoku. think it was uploaded a couple of page back. it's the one with laru-cream too.

TIME TO WATCH MOON CHLID!!!!!!

thanks to Nanagon for the translation! really enjoyed it!
hey, anyone know of any programs to burn Mpeg formatted files onto VCD, cuz i don't have a DVD burner .
Now i need to look for programs that can convert RM/RMVB to Mpeg or do anyone know of any programs?

Haven't been here for quiet some time now ^^""

Thanks for the translation~ and scans~

I heard Evergreen(countdown version) it was real nice~~ the original version was downright deep, countdown version's sxy from my point of view ^^

There's this one thing bugging me, is Laruku officially breaking up?? <<outdated due to school life

Yea, i agree w/ you the Evergreen (rock version) sounds real nice.

About Laruku, no they are not breaking up. They are just officially going on their Solo projects for the year of 2006. I would be really depressed if Laruku were breaking up. Hope L'Arc~en~Ciel surprises us in the year 2007 w/ their new album or singles.

Thank you everybody for your "Welcome"!! ^_^

ryuusei, yes, there are Laruku fans in France, but the band is known only by the Japan Fans. ^^

Thanks for the downloads and the pictures ô_ô I didn't have it ^-^
You can ask me for videos, perhaps I have what you want.. ^^

I hope Laruku reserves us surprises to 2007!!

Bye, and thanks again ^-^

I know that this doesn't have to see with Laruku but I need help. Does know chinese someone here? I want to know who sings this song, or if they have the lyric. It is all the same to me if the lyric is in Chinese characters, the translation of a title..I would be grateful for any information.

i'm chinese, i may be able to help u. this song: "迈���V�I����" means "Walk toward a new life" its sang by "赞���V��" meaning "Praises the Spring" dunno if its a group or something. And then i found the same song and it said it was from "[赞���V��]", which the song from where it came from relates to Christianity or something so i'm confused. :crazy:or maybe [赞���V��] is a group that sings Christian (or religious) songs in Chinese? i don't know exactly what ur looking for and i heard that song while i was browsing for it and it sounded really "church-y" w/ the chorus. don't know if this is the same song ur looking for. also, i couldn't find any lyrics to the song. sorry... may i ask why are interested in knowing this song, Meiko?

thanx Matsu for the "As if in a dream". man, i fell off my chair when i saw Hyde dressed like a woman like that. lol. it's not that i haven't seen him like that but just as i was watching that, my mom walked in on me and she went like "what are u watching? why is that guy singing dressed and look like a woman?" she thought i had issues watching PVs like that.. wish i was as pretty as Hyde... a guy who looks SO much like a woman! don't all grls wish they can be as pretty as him?
hey, can anyone upload the following PVs? thanx
Kasou
Forbidden Lover
Anemone
