I don't know about japanese fans, but I can say to you that I am not punk or gothic, I don't consider myself a poppish girl either. I think that one of the best things of Laruku is that they have music of many styles (a few heavier songs and others more pop) and teenagers or adult people enjoy them.
Thanks Matsu for your great scans! _________________

No me he ofendido para nada, solamente te pregunte porque pense que habia malentendido y lo subi sin que lo necesitaras
Another song that you must hear it's "Finale", it's (for me) the most great song that they made! So amazing! It's from Ray Album.
If you want more music from L'Arc you must go to Sarah's webspace, she uploaded all singles and Albums, if you take something you must comment, say thanks to her, she only wants a reply for your download...

I want that calendar!!! *sniff*
Anyways, I don't think the people who listen to L'Arc are punk or goth. L'Arc seems to appeal to much of the mainstream people and are popular to many types of groups.
I'm not punk or goth, heck i'm considered a nerd, but i'm not representative of the whole L'Arc community. Although i noticed that the majority of fans (or the very open ones) are girls. >___<

I'm quite sure it was off the Real album.
And if TW finds Finale likable, I recommend Forbidden Lover which is another one of their powerful ballads.
To be honest, both Forbidden Lover and Finale didn't appeal to me the first time I listened to it because they weren't as catchy as some of Laruku's other songs but if you give it a few more tries, you find them to be so beautiful and powerful in the way they slowly build up an atmosphere around you.

I saw a lot laruku's fans and they aren't punk or goth, who say that?? I'm a common woman, and maybe some fans get dressed like Hyde and copy his style, in some cases Hyde, in the past, dressed a little gothic, but he didn't stayed in a defined style, he always is changing. Well, not now, because he dressed in a fashion way.
music is for everybody who wants to listen it. _________________

same here, I thought I would never like Forbidden Lover, but then after listening it to a few times I grew to really like it. I have a habit to skip songs that start out slow in the begining (XD, I mean, I missed Ibara no Namida because of that..)
To Van_Goh: I agree, L'Arc's style of dress isn't that goth-y or punk-y now. I'm a normal person too. Although it shouldn't matter what L'Arc appeals to.

Hehe, going to download asap. (amazing site, tempted to download everything in there but I will control my itch hehe)
As for the gothic thing etc., I was talking about what Japanese people consider laruku (for example we consider greenday to be punk/alternative) and while it appeals to many here in the US, it's mostly punks. (I was a major greenday fan and I'm not punk, so you get what I mean)
About his clothing style, thats whats hot in Japan right now?
Cause I seen a pic of him with like a black guitar and some kick ass pants I even find amazing (going to get the pic later on and ya tell me what you think).
I want to change my hair style(I change it like every semester hehe) and I'm thinking of going a bit more Japanese and longer.
I went to jas-mart which sells mens non-no magazine but all I found were like european models and some pretty crappy hair cuts (allright fashion, but hair styles were lame) (womans non-no has way better fashion sections for girls)
so while this has nothing to do with laruku, maybe someone can give me a hand and find some link/thread to some Japanese site/magazines where I could see some of the latest cool Japanese hair styles (I will take a pic of my hair if I choose one of your styles _________________

Here is the pic:
That haircut is awsome(I have that type of hair) but I think it could be quite a freaking challange everymorning getting it to look like that, and some major wax use
Oh and don't you think his style is great in this pic? (don't like his death/gothic look he has in some pictures) Is this his current look or is this like old and outdated in Japan (I know how fashion in Japan changes like by the second)
Edit: Right click and save as to your desktop etc. cause it looks squished due to size restriction in forum. (For those who know that allready, sorry just making sure hehe) _________________

Still waiting for the fashion/style request I mentioned above, but in the mean time just wanted to say, Forbiden lover is not bad at all (I bet after I play it a few times I will end up liking it even more) As for finale, the chorus is very catchy (really like the chorus). _________________

To TaintedWisdom: I can see what you talking about with Green Day and stuff. Since I know many people who like Green Day who don't look anything like like punk. Yeah, L'Arc would be considered more mainstream than other japanese rock bands out there.
About hyde's hairstyle, it's much longer now and it's black. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RjnF3QfjTs here is the most recent video of them that was uploaded earlier (the 20th anniversary of Music Station)
Although I still almost all of his hairstyles are awesome. Err. i'm not sure how to help you with the japanese haircuts, but look at Matsu's photobucket album, there are other L'Arc magazines occasionally with other people on the covers. ^^; sorry.
To Van_Gon: omg! I never noticed that! haha! I just unconciously typed that. XDD

Would you be kind enough as to direct me to his photobucket link?

His haircut is just perfect ! I tryed so hard to get that ! But i don't have a asian hair, so i can't fix it the way i really want, even with glue. Asian hair is the best cause you really can everything you want. Gackt's haircut is also very good, so different each year.
I love Forbidden Lover !!!!!!!! The chorus is so moving. _________________

Hehe, actually Japanese hair is not the ideal hair is very hard to deal with.
Is way thicker and you cant do much (even a perm can be a hassle)
I can tell you cause I know many stylist (as to why I'm looking for a pic so they can do it for me) and I have talk to many Japanese girls which always complain about their hair due to that (why you think they have to do multiple layers, and texturize it hehe).
However, since we not used to that style it looks different and unique
Not trashing their hair just saying the facts behind it (we actually talked about this in organic chemistry class and how the atoms interact in different hairs by race)
I'm glad you liked that pic, I'm really thinking of doing that but bah not sure if I want to spend the time you need every morning to mess with that.
As for using glue THAT WONT WORK WELL AT ALL.
Don't even try it.
That hair style is all about hard dry wax, if your hair is WAY TO DEAD it cant be done no matter the product. _________________

>_< I'm chinese, and asian hair is annoying to me. At least.
Although I'm kinda surprised how fast hyde's hair grows. I mean, his hair in the faith tour was kinda short/medium dark brown, but in the music station clip, his hair looks pretty long and dark black. o_o.
