“ken:Are you ok?
Me too. Why? (laugh).
I heard there won’t be lives
Audience: Eehhh~!
ken:Do you want them so much?
I get sleepy when I go to lives
Isn’t there somebody near you? Somebody sleeping. Has it ever happened?
As usual I don’t know anymore what to talk about
My Dear, at last I can play it properly.
There isn’t a musical instrument that makes me nervous. (laugh)
I know immediately when I get it wrong.
When I play P’UNK, even if I make a mistake, it’s like I’m getting all wrong (laugh)
Audience: lol
ken: Even with the guitar, when I make a mistake it’s BANG! And then I feel at peace!
But with the piano there isn’t a peace moment anywhere.
After 3 year I have managed to play it properly.
People who practice piano?
I wonder if after 3 years I can play.
Audience: You can!!!
ken: I dunno if after 3 years I can do My Dear though
After 3 months I could only plan it, but after 3 years I can do it, I’m amazing!!
I mean, I made a plan, but it’s the first time I decide to plan something 3 years ahead. Other than high school.
When I entered high school I decided that after 3 year I would graduate. The university wasn’t of 3 years. Anyway it turned out well. What do you want to hear?
Eh? Only people with green hoshizora light can talk. This is funny! Can I talk more? (looking at hyde)
Green up
Blu up
Yello up
Wait! That’s wrong! That’s a different colour!
Are there any other colours? That’s wrong! Hey, wait!
Hey, you, wait, lower it (laugh)
You don’t listen to anything I say!!!
Green!
Yellow!
Pink! Oh, with only this colour it looks like being in Shinjuku (laugh)
Then blu?
Any other colour?
Red? What colour makes you happy?
Do you have fun waving it?
Wave it vertically
Wave it horizontally
In circles
I look like an old man in a factory
You are very obedient
So, SEVENTH HEAVEN”

Members introduction
First, the drummer yukihiro, player number 303. I heard you came to Osaka by car, congrats it’s a long trip. I wanna ask something to yukihiro san that loves his car so much. If you were to do a drive with a fangirl where will you take her?
yukihiro: First we will have to fly to LA. And then we will do a coast to coast to NY.
Second, the bassist tetsu. player number 69. For this L’7 tour you travelled around the world. Plase say in French “Do you wanna eat my banana?”.
tetsu: Voulez-vous manger mes bananes?!
- Now in Chinese please?
tetsu: (he made a very concentrated face trying to remember)
- In Korean please
tetsu: &@#%moccosupoーー！
- Now in Japanese please
tetsu: Do you wanna eat my banana?
Third, the guitarist ken, player number 5. In Hong Kong you ate some good food. I heard you ate okashiratsuki (fish served whole with head and tail) Please tell us your impression of it. (they showed the dish on screen)
ken: I especially asked to bring me only the fish without head!
- Please show ken expression at eating this dish.
Fourth, the vocalist hyde, player number 666. During this tour you have been to Shanghai, Taipei, Paris, Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Osaka. Please tell us why the final is in Osaka.

hyde MC
L’Arc~en~Ciel formed in Osaka, they were completely created in Osaka, it has never left Osaka.
You can say that we were a haughty band not going where weren’t people waiting for us.
Put into another way, we go if people are waiting for us.
Even at the next tour, we will go where there will be people waiting.
For a while therw won’t be lives.
This time we have been in many countries, and met many people, will you wait for us?! We’ll manage to make and even more splendid tour.
We will be back on a yet stronger ship so please look forward to it.
The last song.
Even tonight, we’ll see a beautiful starry sky.

“ken:Hi~ (he used Osaka ben of course, the word was maido)
What have you been up to while we were touring abroad?? People who masturbated themselves??
Audience:hahahaha
ken:No, no, if you laugh at dirty joke you spoil it (laugh). You should say you masturbated yourself listening to Larc.
We went to many different countries, and had sex with foreigners.
Millions of them (laugh)
Especially hyde was the leader in repeatedly having sex. He is the worst. (hyde hid his face)
Imitation?
You put out the passport to get it sealed (before the custom officer).
They stared at it
And every week you get nervous.
Like buying a hamburger at Mcdonalds.
In the end they let you pass anyway.
Did you masturbated then? (back to topic)
Isn’t it stupid (laugh).
Today you will have sex with us?
Can you go deep deep? SEVENTH HEAVEN!”

First, the drummer yukihiro, player number 303. I heard you really like Devil May Cry and that you went on Youtube to do soem research. Tell us your words when you reached the end of the game
yukihiro: I wondered if nobody else had managed beside me. Old fart.
Second, the bassist tetsu. player number 69. Touring the world you have been for the first time in Paris. Tell us your impression of the city
tetsu: It stinked. The street are nice, but the smell was bad. And it was full of dogs shit. At a certain point it was very smelly and I checked my shoes, but we were doing the photoshooting so it couldn’t be me, it was the stylist!!!
- Do you wanna go again?
tetsu: I do.
Third, the guitarist ken, player number 5. Whe you went to a BBQ restaurant in Korea you couldnt’ understand the menu at all. Please read this to us (a script in Korean)
ken: (he read it right, it was the chicken dish he took, then they showed a pic of ken eating that dish.)
Fourth, the vocalist hyde, player number 666. Suing the love drama story, if you had been seated near to the sad girl whose boyfriend cheated on her, what would have said?
hyde: Am I not good enough? *chuchuchuchuchu*
22.MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM
hyde MC
“Thank you (in Osaka ben)

We toured many different countries….I spoke their languages but I have no idea if it reached them!
That’s why I ask for photos (laugh)
There was a screen and photo were shown and when I was saying “I ate this” the fans went “oooo…” (laugh). I guess they were happy that I spoke of good food I ate as they do. I did it because I’m from Osaka.
Audience: Eehhh??
ken: There were many planned? Photos to take and then pass them to the operator, with a machine…Hey! (fans were shouting something)
Shit! Japanese is the one I’m the best at!
Really I didn’t understand.
By the way
Every member did the MC in the language of the country we were but
I didn’t got at all what they were saying!
hyde was saying “○＠◆〒※～！”
And I didn’t get it and then all of a sudden “DRINK IT DOWN”
So I thought “My heart must be ready!!!”
They treated us well so I got used to it, but even if they treated us well, it was tough
Audience: (laugh)
ken: Don’t laugh! Really! Eh? What? You wanna hear Yukki?
watching toward Yukki
ken: Ah, you don’t have a mike?
hyde went to Yukki to give him his. Yukki bowed.
ken:Really you play the not talking part too much! Is this the first time you talk in Tokyo?
Yukki:Sort of
ken:Your first words in Tokyo are “Sort of”!
ken: So, say something to thank
Yukki (smiling): Fusion
ken assumed the fusion pose (I guess they mean the fusion pose from Dragon Ball XD)
ken: Can you do the fusion? (to fans)
ken:SEVENTH HEAVEN”

hyde MC
“Thanks
You have a nice voice.
Everybody singing feels nice.
Even abroad they sang for us, Japanese is difficult but they did.
That taught me that music can cross borders
Now you also have to sing a fantastic word
アンニョンハセヨー Annyonhaseyo
Audience: Eh?
hyde: Ther won’t be lives for a while but we will go on planning to come back with a bigger ship. Surely the next time it won’t be made of wood (laugh) Please look forward to it.
You will say “That’s L’Arc ne Ciel!”
The next it’s the last song…….outside there is a typhoon? A storm? It’s raining?
We we can’t see outside maybe but here you can see a beautiful starry sky.”

hyde: Outside is clear again. We will go on till this evening. Slowly, slowly, slowly.
hyde: For the first time we had a live in Paris. Sure we’ve been aborad before, but France…..it has a special feeling. I didn’t want to be superficial. The name of the band is French, and we have never been to France. But I couldn’t say it. But in France the welcome was so warm, and they were so hot, it was the best. Even the other lives were hot and great. Now we are back in Japan, can you be as hot? Are you ok, Tokyo~!? Let’s get crazy! We are here, DRINK IT DOWN!”

ken: Anyway, before in the dressing room I was told that my guitar was too noise and they made me go out. And then even yukihiro. He was beside me drumming, tatatatatata. And then I heard a “kyaaaa” I was shocked. It was Tecchan practicing the vocals, but they didn’t make him go out.
tetsu: But there wasn’t anybody.
ken: But today we are 2 people for room aren’t we?
tetsu: No, it is one each for you three, I’m the only one sharing it. With the hairmaker, divided with a partition
hyde: I’m with 秦野san
ken: Ah, the person playing the keybord for us.
hyde: But I’ve been in the same place fromt he start, and I everybody went out. I thought that kenchan was honestly noisy (laugh)
ken: (laugh) That’s the feeling. We say “Hi” in the morning and then don’t talk to each other. Then we meet before the performance and say “Hi” again. I’m not a “Hi” type though, I listen. That’s the friendship among the four of us.
Do you wanna listen more? Much much more? Much much more? SEVENTH HEAVEN!”

Members introduction
① First, the drummer yukihiro, player number 303. In one of your days off, you meet hydesan in a shoe shop. Please tell us the first word you said

- And if she turns out to be a man?
hyde: (laugh)…after chu, chu, chu I’d hug him.

hyde MC
“hyde: We played the new song NEXUS4……has the realesing day been decided already?
tetsu: Yes, but we’ll say it the day after tomorrow
hyde: But I can’t come that day (laugh)
hyde: Did you understand who made it?
Audience:teccha~~~n!!!
hyde: Too soft. Can’t we say even this?
tetsu: No, the day after tomorrow.
hyde: After this live we won’t make others for 3 years. But when we have good songs we will release them. Please look forward to them. We are full of beatiful songs.
hyde: When we were in Paris we shooted a photobook at Notre Dame cathedral. And there there was the guy on REAL jacket, the gargoyle! I took a photo, but looking at it, it is different from the one in the jacket. I took the photo as it is on the jacket. Anyway, the amazing thing wasn’t when we were inside, but outside. When we got out there was a rainbow. Tecchan said “Ah! The rainbow!” It was broadlight, and generally it’s more common to see it at sunrise or sunset. It was amazing. The the sunlights would bend to form a rainbow in that moment! It was the first time I saw such a rainbow! It’s scary!
ken: It isn’t
hyde: Today the weather is good. Even today I wish you to see a beautiful night sky…..starry sky.”

Audience:(laugh)
ken:They are and I can’t speak Korean!
Audience: (lol)
ken: In Shanghai, the note was written in Cantonese but….you know the liquid paper? That white liquid you correct with. The paper was folded. So when the liquid got dried it got flaky and unstuck. I couldn’t understand what was written anymore!
Audience: (laugh)
ken: I looked like Indy Jones! Do you know him? I felt like I was looking at an ancient document with indications for the treasure location written on it. After I did my mc properly, the staff told me “kenchan you reached out!”
Audience:ooohh
ken: Insteand here in Japan I dunno what I should talk about. What do you wanna hear? Tales of my travels?
Audience: (laugh)
ken: Ok. In Paris I was hit by silver tapes. In Japan it happened twice but (laugh) , in Japan they are launched with air, there with powder!

When they went on the boat again tetsu and hyde did the Titanic scene on the prow, only hyde was doing Jack so being behind tetsu/Rose you could see the height difference. Then hyde got near to yukki and kissed him on the cheek.
Then on screen they showed this script “A new for of virus called “L’Arc en Ciel” is spreading through the world. A map was displayed showing the diffusion of the “virus” in Asia and Paris, they even passed some images of Paris live. Then the virus got back to Japan and on screen there were the words NEXUS 4!

hyde: It’s a relief to be in Japan. Abroad, when something unexpected happens you can’t really communicate, can you? When Kenchan fell I said “Wait!” (he said it in English), but we were in France (laugh).
hyde: I was kinda worried. But in Japan I can communicate perfectly.

Well, I’m back. I wanted to make a few posts before July, so my June archive won’t be… err… empty. XD WTF. Anyway, I have a lot of catching up to do! I have to update myself, and my readers (I suppose there are some. If I didn’t have any readers, I wouldn’t have reached 13K+ hits!).
New header for July~~ The header features Vice and Zygard, from the PSP game, Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner, by Cozy Okada. I’ve been hooked on this game since I started playing 10 days ago. XD Again, my logo is on the banner, so, nyah~ Okay, so (haha! I’m pimping), if you want me to make any graphics for you, you can go to Lemoned I Scream and make a request in the request post (I’ll have to fix it first XD). If you want, you can also go visit cheverloo to see some graphics made, not only by me, but by some friends of mine, as well. Links are found on the left sidebar of this site, filed under ♒ こっち~! · This Way~!. LOL okay enough of that. XD I’ll update now~! Thank you for visiting my web, even though I haven’t updated for a long time!!! I love you all~ :D
I won’t be updating for a while, because one: I’m busy with a few projects, two: my internet connection is REALLY BAD, and three: my laptop is NOT COOPERATING WITH ME. This means it’s being a butt again; the browsers keep shutting down by themselves, making me re-do all my work, the keyboard’s keys are not working properly, though i can still use them, it’s just that it is REALLY ANNOYING. Also, the WiFi thingie is busted, so I have to use a cable, but the connection is just really bad.
Sorry. T.T I know I haven’t been updating on time, but kindly understand. I know it’s still summer vacation (for me, my
