heaven's drive, their new single, is coming out on the 21st april, and their new album, [ark] [ray], is being released on the 1st july ^_^
nb. "l'arc en ciel" is the french word for "rainbow" (niji), and is pronounced "laruku an shieru" and written in katakana ^_^ . it's usually shortened to "laruku", which is what i use, but some ppl in enlish-speaking countries call them "l'arc" (rhymes with "park"). the name was chosen by tetsu.
hyde, the vocalist, ne! his lyrics are
so COOL and his voice! *wow* . all right, so there're
the people who still don't believe he's male O_o;; . but hell, with
a guy who can look that good in a dress, who's complaining? ah...he's so beautiful *slight drool*. interestingly enough, the first pic i ever saw of hyde was the one in the 'true' booklet, where he was staring down his unzipped fly and looking so surprised at something...*snicker*
hehe...ken's actually my favorite laruku guy *_* he's got devotion (music, elizabeth), talent (songwriting), he's deliciously hentai at times (siesta), got a cute voice and accent (kansai! *mwaha*), an adorably cute face (well, _i_ think it's cute), and the most droolsomely long legs i've ever seen on a guy who wasn't anime ^_~ . jean-clad perfection! *smirk*. eeh...but the one bad thing about ken-chan? he's MARRIED *growl* ^^;;
ah ~~ back in the good old heavenly days, when hyde and ken looked pretty shocking, tetsu was a GOD *drool*. waa...i loved that look with the long hair, the cool sunnies, the high heels, the trenchcoat, the pinstripes...KAKKOII ^_^ . and he's such a good bass player! *swoon*. anyway, tetsu's probably got the nicest personality in laruku ^_^ . he's the one we'd all wanna date, even me *soppy expression*.
oooh...sakura's
so...cool *starry eyes*. and he looks a bit like brandon lee...bonus! ^^
. he's always so serene behind that long, dark hair and those mysterious sunnies...although
there could be a reason for that *sweatdrop*. he's the "one with the muscles"
as my darling imouto calls him, and he's rei-chan's fave, too ^^ . he
might not be as talented a drummer as yuki, but man, he has so much more
style...
so i'm not that fond of yuki...in my eyes, sakura's always gonna be the drummer of laruku *sigh*. still, yuki's an excellent drummer, and it's not exactly his fault that he's not stunningly georgeous =P . actually, he was cool back in his dies in cries days (wild fingernails! ^_^ )...but what happened? ^^;; . okay, granted, he's halfway okay when he smiles - but that's rare! usually he just looks like...a pixie *evil smirk*.
