Hyde Papercraft!

Ok, so I didn't have the heart, yet, to put together my Hyde Papercraft so I got an idea~
I scanned the papercraft, printed it out and put it together! There's many ways to do it, simple wings or rabbit outfit w/ wings or maybe rabbit outfit w/o wings, rabbit outfit with flower head thing... etc...

I love the rabbit outfit! It's adorable!!!

and I had so much fun putting it together I just thought *everyone* should too!

So print this out, cut it and have fun putting it together ^_~

Here's a little preview of the new Hurry Xmas PV.

http://www.mediafire.com/?dnsexjzl11t

^^thanks to the Pieces Forum!

It looks cute!!!
Hyde looks Mega-Hot, but hardly seems to be singing into the microphone lol, and it looks like Ken has a new guitar, never seen it b4. Also it looks like they all (except Ken) appear to have some sort of tattoos on their arm... probably temporary~

I like it it's cute!

It looks like Ken-chan will be in the cover of GiGS this December and will be featured as "the master of 6 strings goes to sound trip with new guitar"

Daybreak's Bell Single Pictures

YAYAYAY i got a call from the Post Office today letting me know i had a package there from Japan i was so happy because i was certain i was going to have to wait until monday to get my single but thankfully the mailman was going to be there until 12 today so he let me come in and pick up my package today.

This single is absolutely beautiful! i love the jacket! it is definitely one of my favorites and so is the song. Natsu no Yuutsu[sea in blood] is even wonderful i don't care much for the P'unked songs but this one is really good i love the little intro to it.

Laruku in Mexico!?

There's a rumor going around the net that a Mexican company has direct negotiation with L'arc and that they're trying to take them to the National Performing Center in Mexico City. (Take in mind that the National Performing Center is very much like the Tokyo Dome in Mexico, only 5 Mexican artists have been able to completely fill it)

So anyway~ this is their site: http://www.asiaticamarket.com/ and right now they're running a poll to see if they should bring them over, I would fly (or drive) over there in a heartbeat... but I'm really skeptical about this :-/
This website has very little info about anything, it barely has artist info! And really *any* site can say they have contact with L'arc or Hyde for that matter, and for that matter why *only* L'arc? This website doesn't even have a physical address, so how can we trust for it to be reliable... who knows. They have well over 1,000 votes and last time I checked 100ppl had voted that they would fly in from another country and pay around $100 a ticket.

Again I voted as well and would totally go, but I don't believe them.

Yatta!

Tracy-san, shoutai kurete wo doumo arigatou gozaimashita ne:)

(Tracy, thank you very much for your invitation to fangirlhaven.)



Hello everyone, I am a friend of Tracy's and I LOVE the Japanese band L'Arc~en~Ciel. I have been a fan since about 2004, I think. I came accross their music by watching Pop Japan TV on the International Channel, which is now called AZN tv. The first songs I heard were Ready Steady Go and Hitomi no Juunin.



Ready Steady Go caught my attention due to it's upbeat tempo and catchy melody. Listening to it, I began to think of action, and running. This song sounded akin to Nike's slogan, "Just do it".



Hitomi no Juunin is a love ballad. The song is a romantic one. I was amazed at how beautiful Hyde's voice (the lead singer's voice) was. His multi-octave range really shows in this one. The music was written by L'Arc~en~Ciel's founder, and bassist, Tetsu. The melody flows evenly over a string symphony. Very lovely song. I was even more smitten after I translated the lyrics. Totemo romanchikku. (very romantic)



After seeing the videos of Ready Steady Go and Hitomi no Juunin, I decided I wanted to buy their most recent album at that time called, "SMILE". After listening to it they became my favorite band ever.



Of course L'Arc~en~Ciel is a Japanese band. Therefore, their music is sung primarily in Japanese. Before becoming a fan of L'Arc~en~Ciel, I did not know any Japanese. So, I decided to learn the language. While it's true that you can frequently look up the translations online, listening to their music had set a spark within me to want to learn the words myself without looking them up.



I bought my first SMILE cd, as well as many other cds, at http://us.yesasia.com/en/index.aspx

Daybreak's Bell - Music Station (10.05.2007)

Ok i just watched the performance of this song and all i can say is hyde i <3 you!

This is definitely my favorite of the new songs they have released so far and seeing them perform this live made me love it that much more. Hyde's voice is great i don't care what anyone says and his tv lives just keep getting better and better. Yuki's drumming is also fantastic which isn't a surprise his drumming is always great. I am usually not one that listens a lot to the music i focus more on the vocals, which is why vocalists are always my favorite in a band, but with this song you can't help but listen to all of it and yuki's little drum solo is one of my favorite parts of the entire song.

How to get L'arc~en~ciel concert tickets

I have saw several people ask how you can buy concert tickets when you don't live in Japan or speak Japanese believe it or not its rather easy you just better be prepared to spend a lot of money.

Its almost impossible for foreigners to get tickets at their normal price unless you are lucky enough to have a friend that lives in Japan that is willing to buy the tickets for you.

If you are like the rest of us you probably don't have this option or else you wouldn't be wondering how to get tickets in the first place but don't worry they are ways to get them.

The first option is Yahoo Japan auction this is like Japan's ebay you can usually always find tickets on here but most sellers do not ship outside of Japan. You can still get tickets from here though but you have to use a bidding service such as www.celga.com they will bid on the tickets for you and then ship them to you once you have won the bid. However be prepared to pay a commission fee.

Next option is ticket.co.jp prices are usually extremely high but maybe not as bad as an auction plus there is no bidding involved so you are guaranteed the ticket. But like the auctions most sellers won't ship outside of Japan so you will still need to use a service like celga.com.

Your last option is to use a buying service such as www.fdjp.com they find the tickets for you, purchase them and ship them to you this is the easiest way to get tickets but also the most expensive because they charge about a 30% commission free.

With these websites and about $1000 dollars in your pocket your well on your way to purchasing l'arc tickets!

To Start off~

Ok, so I have no idea how this works but here it is ^_^ (btw it's dawn, under a new name... I don't like dawn anymore)

Happy B-day to Tetsu!!!

Anyway~ is our forum not working or what? Everytime I try to visit it it says cannot find server... it's been like that ever so often but now it's just getting annoying! >_<
