A support band, y'know, they "support" single artists. They've worked with him in the past, too, so they're not strangers now. It was like Gackt and his support group when he made singles like Vanilla, Mizerable, Dears, etc. I guess that thing about another hiatus could be true, which is just not cool, at least for me. If it is true, it'd be their third one in their career. They had one after Sakura left in the 90s, and one before they returned and had their Shibuya Seven Days concert. During each of their hiatuses, each member worked on their solo projects, so it wasn't all bad. Of course HYDE became even better known as a solo artist and his singles hit #1 each time. Still, I don't want them to do another hiatus. They're at a critical point in their career, the highest I've ever seen them.

@yat VAMPS = Hyde + Kaz 2008 project I think "Love Addict" is kind of simple and repetitive. Even though it seems like many people like it, I think the song is lacking creativity -_-a But with Hyde in the band, VAMPS could get quite popular. lol |

They might, but nobody is larger in Japan then Laruku. VAMPS might get some fans here and there, but nothing as large as Laruku is, even today. I gotta check out some of their new stuff to see myself. Although HYDE is a wonderful solo artist, I partially did not like his solo much as much as his Laruku work. D:

Indeed his work at Laraku good~~ His solo... well, fade in comparison but they are still good... (recalls "Season Call"). Hmm... a support group... issit like the musicians who played in the backgroud for HYDE, such as for the Season's Call MV?  |

Yeah support bands support single artists. And that's mostly them, or... it should be or else it would've made no sense, haha. But since it's a "HYDE" single, he gets more spotlight. XP Anyone find a more professional clip of them in Paris yet? I've searched around for a bit but have not found anything else, other than crummy fan videos. T3T

Did you know they were on the Le Zenith tour? I only know some songs they performed, but video wise (even audio), there's no good videos up yet, like the ones you're used to seeing (like the ones from their L'Anniversary, for ex:).

lol, well one they're not J-Pop, haha. And yeah, I think they're almost done in Paris and are set for their ASIA Live Tour! Here's one that I found today, not that bad, audio okay, etc.: I want to see/hear the full quality version of this song, cause if you hear HYDE doing the first chorus, it's sooo good! Just listen really closely, and his "lala" will just drift you away.

This was from a camera video from a fan at the concert. You'd have to ask the original owner for it, lol.

The only places I know they performed at were Korea and Shanghai. I think two cities in Japan near the end of the Tour, and of course Paris before their ASIA tour. Have you guys ever checked out S.O.A.P. yet? While I did a research essay on Laruku for English, I found out all members' solo work projects were somewhat successful, behind HYDE of course yet I've never heard S.O.A.P. before. Also, Seirei no Moribito is gonna air on Adult Swim in August! I want to see the intro, since it's "SHINE" from Laruku of course. Though the single won't come out 'til the last week of Summer! I've never seen the anime yet except for the intro, but the OP is just so darn killer. :3

Yeah, I doubt I'll watch it, but just like Blood+ and Season's Call, I'll only check out the intro, haha. It's not everyday I can hear Laruku on TV y'know. :P But seriously, the tv size is so darn good.

hahaha!! When I first listen to Blood+ OP Season's Call I was like... "wait... that voice is sooo familiar" then I stared into the screen just to see HYDE (the name) staring back at me... I was so happy that I completed watching that series (OK, at least the storyline somewhat kept me with it) Sometimes thay make TV size so well that is hard to choose which (as compared to the full ver) to load onto my mp3 cum mobile phone for my use...But usually, I end up loading the full version for me to edit it into TV ver in my mind if I want to! muhahahah!! |

Oh, sorry, I'll PM you the link then, Engels, since embed was disabled. I first got into Laruku when Hagane no Renkinjutsushi came out (dub on AS), so a bit after the Japanese version got licensed by FUNimation. So maybe... the past 4 years (2004), I've learned everything about them in like, the last year!? XD If you see how HYDE has improved since their tiny shows in Japan, his voice has matured to a point no singer in Japan has gone. His vibrato is more consistent and is stronger than ever, he wasn't able to reach high pitched notes before (with a vibrato), etc. The band gets better ever year, which is always good. I guess when they come back together, it'll be even more fun, though it's good that SHINE will get released this month... at the end of the month. >_<;
