Thank you for this info, Ri:ka! ^_^
Ouuu....what should i buy? ......
Did u buy all of them or just the 4th Avenue cafe?
you're welcome~~
I'll buy the Fourth Avenue Cafe (because of the Daruku songs) and Natsu no Yuutsu [time to say goodbye] (because they don't have it on any original Laruku album and I don't wnat to buy the BEST OF only because of this song)
I have all other songs on albums and I'm not that interested in hydeless versions or remixes.
So, that's how I decided what to buy
sure i'd love to have all of them for my collection, but i can't afford it _________________

I was wondering what they were going to include with the Fourth Avenue Cafe single.
That's cool that they are releasing D'Ark~en~Ciel, but I'm wondering if they are going to just be the somewhat poor quality/incomplete tracks that I have mp3s of. Most likely, but it would be nice if they had something buried away of more realized versions of the songs.

the mp3 are poor quality mainly because they were very likely ripped from an analog audio cassette. so i guess the CD versions will be much better ^^ _________________

HYDE: CAN ONE OF JAPAN'S BIGGEST ROCK ACTS BREAK BIG IN THE US?
Brad Kava, 06:29 PM in Brad Kava, Concerts, Music
Based on its San Francisco debut at the Fillmore Thursday the Japanese band HYDE may be hard rock's answer to baseball's Ichiro Suzuki and Hideki Matsui.
That is, superstars in an American game who are considered the equals of their American peers, and whose country of origin is secondary to their abilities to entertain.
With a 90-minute set of original, dark and glistening hard rock, metal, and a couple of ballads, this tight quintet's sold out local debut was mesmerizing and primal, with more than a few similarities to David Bowie's U.S. debut decades back.
And, while so many Japanese musical exports are treated as novelties and aberrations, representatives of a culture at once foreign, intriguing and endlessly confusing, HYDE made a huge step toward breaking down barriers by singing all of his songs in English.
(HYDE, pronounced haido, is both the name of the band, and the lead singer.)
It took a long time for Japanese stars to break into baseball's major leagues, and it's taken even longer for its musical stars to break through to the point where they are as big in the U.S. as American rockers are in Japan.
The band Mono has grown a small but ardent U.S. following, but because that trio plays only instrumentals, it is never going to make the big time because on the pop charts, lyrics are as important as tunes.
HYDE's lyrics were part of what drew almost 1,000 fans to the Fillmore from all over the U.S., and to three other sold-out shows in California, at the House of Blues in Anaheim and Los Angeles, and Slim's in San Francisco.

His just-released album, "Faith" (Tofu Records), featuring playing by Nine Inch Nails bassist Danny Lohner and the Cult's drummer, Scott Garrett, takes on religious themes, not the least of which is the cover drawing, featuring the singer in a crown of thorns, posed as Jesus.
But don't think this is in anyway a Christian album. The lyrics are character studies from a man who describes himself as interested and respectful of religious imagery, but not religious.
In "Jesus Christ," which opened the Fillmore show, HYDE sings from the point of view of a parent watching his child suffer, and begs God to take his life instead. It's the painful stuff of much U.S. modern metal, with a more thoughtful spin.
"I'm not religious, but I like the designs and concepts and thoughts of religion," said the singer, born Hideto Takarai. He won't reveal his age, and he has an androgynous, ageless look that brings to mind Michael Jackson, but fan websites list him as 37.
His surprising voice, coming from a thin figure who barely scrapes 5 feet, mines the rich low tones of David Bowie, with the urgency of the Ziggy Stardust days.
His only cover song in the fast-paced set, was a tortured "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," the 1967 Beatles song, even more surprising because in the preshow interview, HYDE claimed not to know much "old music."
He sings in English, he said through a translator in the Fillmore's poster room, because that is the language of the rock he grew up on. The first disc he bought, when he was 14, was Billy Joel's "The Stranger," and his love of rock continued with Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Linkin Park and Journey.
He started playing guitar at 17 and was in several bands, the third of which, L'Arc-en-Ciel, sold 34 million records over the last 10 years and played Japan's biggest arenas. He went solo in 2001, he says, to try out ideas without having to get the approval of the rest of the band.
He's had two number one hits, including "Countdown," which was dubbed onto the Japanese version of the American movie, "Stealth." He's also appeared in films, the 2004 science fiction thriller, "Moon Child" and the 2006 drama, "The Last Quarter."
Tickets to the four U.S. debut shows sold out in minutes and fans, many of whom were women in their teens and 20s, who slept on the street overnight at the Fillmore to get a good vantage point in the general admission hall.
They included 25-year-old USC medical school student Qudug Wu, who said she was at the front of the line because she loved the singer's lyrics, not his looks.
"I'm not a fan-girl," she emphasized. "I could have spent my vacation doing research or relaxing, but I stayed out overnight to see his passion."
Born in China, and studying in the U.S. for the past four years, she said she was attracted to the spiritual premises of his songs. She didn't know what he was saying, at first, but was stirred by his delivery. When she looked up the lyrics, she found that they matched the images he had inspired in her head.
"I feel sad when I see so many women in line," she said. "It's not about sex; it's spiritual. He's so good looking, but it's not about his looks."
Laura Harvey, 22, flew from Illinois for the show. A fan of Japanese anime shows, she got into the music after seeing HYDE's movies.
"A lot of Americans have no idea that there are a lot of talented rock and pop and heavy metal musicians in Japan," she said.
Vallejo musicians Zachary David Harris, 23 and Joshua Theo Wooley, 25, found HYDE on the Internet, where they regularly searched Japanese music and horror film sites for inspiration for their band, Folklord.
"We both like adventurous music," said Harris. "I like metal, and Frank Zappa, and anything different. I usually go to concerts by famous or quasi famous bands. It's good to see a band that has no say here, that hardly anyone knows. This is America."
Wooley had been a HYDE fan for three years after hearing a song on the web, and was shocked to see that the exotic Japanese performer was playing in his backyard.
"I saw it on the Fillmore schedule and I thought it couldn't be the same HYDE, but it was. I couldn't believe I was going to get to see him."
