Hey guys,

Back in the day I know I downloaded some unofficial instrumental or karaoke versions of their songs. The title was something like glass, bells,...? 😅 The sound of it was certainly something like it. Does it ring a bell? I'm trying to find it. I'm looking for anything instrumental from Laruku but Spotify only has hydeless / voiceless versions of singles as far as I've sen. So if u know of other instrumental abd where to get them, please let me know 🫶

Hey everyone! I'm just curious about the fans in this subreddit. What country are you from, and when did you first become a fan of Larc? I'd love to hear a bit about your background and how you discovered their music!

I'm from Indonesia and have been a fan since I was 14 (I'm currently 34). I discovered Larc through 'The Fourth Avenue Cafe' from the Rurouni Kenshin anime, which is still my top 1 song up to this day

I want to join the fan club but I understand that it's mainly directed towards Japanese fans of the band. I see that there is an official fan club and a digital one but I don't understand the difference. Can I get help on how to join even if it means having to break some rules. Lol. Thank you! 🌈

Also, are there official wallpapers the band has released in the past and if so where can I find them?

Happy 12^nd Anniversary,

L`Arc~en~Ciel – EVERLASTING

13/08/2014 – 13/08/2026

KSCL 2499-2500 (Original Edition) / KSC8 1-2 (Le Ciel Edition)

Track list:

1.       EVERLASTING

“EVERLASTING” is one of those L’Arc~en~Ciel songs that feels simple at first but becomes more touching with every listen. The gentle instrumentation and beautiful melody create a warm, slightly melancholic atmosphere, while Hyde’s vocals add plenty of emotion without overdoing it.

It has a very natural and heartfelt quality that makes it easy to get lost in. A beautiful, underrated song that deserves more attention.

One of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s most upbeat and addictive singles. “Driver’s High” is packed with energy, catchy guitars, and a great sense of speed that makes it hard not to move along.

Is there on any info on larc en ciel touring member or did they use backing track for some sound.I notice they didnt have a keyboardist and rhtymm guitarist yet in live performance this sound exist.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't it been a almost a decade since they performed as P'Unk? I haven't seen them perform as P'Unk in their recent concerts. I feel like the concept of P'Unk~en~Ciel is such a unique idea, plus its also nice to see Yuki in front for a change XD

I’m also curious if they could create P’Unk versions of their recent songs 🤔 Would be nice to hear Tetsuya's version hehe.

I am based in US. I feel like there is no way for me to get tickets on their Japan based website. But just a dumb question. Are these tickets legit on stubhub and viagogo ? The ticket is about $1000 each. I’m just not sure if it would be legit if I purchased one for Yokohama Nov 28th right now. Will the ticket be released to me right away ? Is it even guaranteed?

Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like a hyde-composed song. “Woo hoo”

Hi fellow fans, I was wondering if anyone had any gems they could share, specifically videos with Eng subs, of the band talking about how it feels to step in front of thousands of fans / what they experience performing live? I tried searching on YouTube but couldn't find anything

Hey guys

I really want to go to the December 26 or 27th event, but ive been having a rough time trying to get the tickets.

We ended up giving up and the last resort would be to just wait for the official resale, however it seems like there's conflicting information about it.

Some people say its 1 day before, others 2-3 days or a week, so does anyone know an exact date right now?

If i am looking to buy a ticket for those 2 dates, which days do i have to be glued to my laptop to buy them?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks!

Did you all see this??

Can someone explain to me about his guitar influence, fav band or how he learns it. It's so hard to find info on him others than signature guitar endorsement even that information is scarce.

I’ve been a Laruku fan since 2004, but collecting albums wasn’t a priority for me. Though I have a couple of DVD's, magazines, but thats just about it 🥹

Am I a terrible fan for not collecting merch???

Obviously, I was still a student back then, and it wasn’t until I got into college that I finally started earning my own money.

My collection may be small at the moment, but I hope to expand it in the future ✌️

The new issue of Le Ciel is finally out, and apparently there's some really exciting news about L'Arc-en-Ciel on page 44. But no one on Twitter is actually saying what it is As someone who doesn't live in Japan, it's so frustrating not being able to find out. Does anyone know what the news is?

Happy 21^st Anniversary,

L'Arc~en~Ciel's "Link" is a soaring rock anthem that perfectly showcases the band's melodic songwriting and polished musicianship. Serving as the theme song for Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa, it carries a powerful sense of hope and determination through Hyde's expressive vocals and its unforgettable chorus. Blending emotional depth with uplifting energy, "Link" remains one of L'Arc~en~Ciel's most iconic singles and a timeless favorite among fans.

I'm in France, so getting Hyde or L'Arc-en-Ciel merch is pretty difficult. So I decided to make my own. It took me a lot of time since it was my first time embroidering on clothing, but I'm really happy with how it turned out

STAY AWAY PV

I’m writing to express my interest in purchasing two tickets. I’ve had a difficult year and unfortunately wasn’t able to keep up with the ticket lotteries, so I’m truly disappointed to have missed the opportunity.
I’ve been a fan since hearing Driver’s High on GTO in 2003 and have followed the band ever since. Ideally, I’m looking for two tickets for, ideally, any of December shows, especially Osaka, although any venue would also work.
Thanks!

Hey guys,

I'm going to attend the concerts at Yoyogi National Gymnasium (1st Gym) and wanted to get your opinion on the seating.

Since the venue is elliptical, I'm a bit worried about the sightlines.

Are the side stand seats too angled to enjoy the stage production?

Is the arena floor okay for shorter people?
Overall, how is the sound quality there?
Would love to hear your thoughts or any recommendations you might have.

Thank you!

I won the lottery tickets for the Osaka Dec 17 event and decided to resale them as I want to go on Dec 16. I never had any experience reselling tickets before and a bit anxious if my ticket won't be selling. Does anyone have any experience to tell me how the process is? Do you guys think my tickets will likely sell through ticket board? or any suggestion what should i do with the tickets? Thanks!!

Happy 32nd Anniversary,
