New member/new fan/new questions

[goddamnanimals]

Hello, all!

I'm Seth, and I was actually not familiar at all with L'arc until very recently, but now I'm doing a big project about them for one of my graphic design classes, so I'm trying to learn everything I can!

Thank you for approving my account to come onto the site, I've been digging around and there's so much information even though there are a lot of old/dead links.

One thing in particular I'm very curious about is the names you've given the individual member boards. Why is hyde 'Anemone'? I could ask the same question of any member, but perhaps the most intriguing to me is sakura as the 'Inner Core.'

I've seen a good subbed interview with the current members (the one for their release of KISS), but didn't know much about sakura-san until I read his autobiography posted by shirokiryuu. Now I feel like I understand what happened a little better, but I'd love to hear from some long-time fans why he is labeled as the 'Inner Core'?


Thank you again for having this board here, and hopefully we can get a little bit of activity going here! =]

XDD hahahahaha im sorry i had to laugh! when i read yours~
well...seth your welcome aboard !
and im surly only gonna tell you answering yours about hyde only XD! cus i only knows why he does named in his individual member boards as Anemone!
well its a long story ..you see..hyde is a married man actually and this story was long long time ago...
umm his wife is a japanese women her name is megumi oishi
and hyde did loved her so much ..he loves his wife so much ..he had to sing a song for her ..he named this song as anemone cus of her beauty as he likes the beutiness of anemone ...anemone is some kind of flower that is rarely existed i guess in japan ....its so beautiful that he did mentioned her as that flower ~ so he had this song to sing for her ...Anemone was in 1999 or so...and i think that's why the administrates had to call it like that way in this forum !..cus hyde only sing this song for his own wife ~
i think he deserve it ..and not her! *megumi i mean*!
XD as for sakura san ~ i guess you should only wait for that question cus i only knows some one by here knows him very well ...as she do loved him that so! ...
so im guessing only to wait ne^_^~

^_^ any thing about hyde ...just ask away~♥

Hello, Emma!
I didn't see that I'd gotten a reply until now... oops. ;__;

I've been doing a lot of research, but that can't compare to the opinions of fans who have been excited about them for years (decades!)

I think what I'll be doing is making [five? I feel like I'd be misrepresenting them in not including sakura] separate cd mixes for each member, and then designing album booklets for each one individually. Within that, including L'Arc songs that they have written, as well as some of their solo work.

So for example hyde would include some of his solo stuff, some VAMPS stuff, and whatever else is appropriate. Leaning towards songs he wrote both the music and lyrics for.

What would be most appropriate to include? I'm thinking of aiming for a shortish track list for each of them- 8-10 songs, 12 at most. I know that's a lot to whittle down. I could try to guess, but I thought you might have a good idea of exactly what would work!

Does my question even make sense? XD

[emma]

ahhh now i get you!!
so you only need the names of these songs ...of larc..?!
if its about what song from them will chosen or picking is gonna be easy as pie!
just tell me if you want me to pick the most popular songs form them ne!or maybe from hyde !?...
look ...im not really that sure about what your demanding of ...but let me help you out if you want i will see what i can do!

[goddamnanimals]

Hmm, Sorry if I'm being confusing!

I am hoping to put together a short playlist for each member, with music representative of their personal styles. (For example I've noticed tetsu's work is very pop, while yukihiro goes toward techno style. I haven't quite figured out the others yet)

I guess the best thing I could ask, since you are a big fan of hyde, is what would be on your best-of-hyde playlist? =]

[emma]

aha!
i see! first of all ...how many times do i have to say this ~!? ...
im not a "fan"! ::)im a lover !^//^~*blush*!
well...you can say that he is my husband!
.. ehhhm~ sorry about that!XD! that is only in my dreams !! even if it is my dreams ...as i think it will also never ever gonna happen in my dreams though! !
XD
well ehhem... let's say i will help about that ^^!
and if you wanna make songs for hyde .....his style that will be metal kinds ...hyde preferring metal ..like black metal or so! ;)rock and roll too..cus he likes to scream and going crazy on his own songs! ...i think you have noticed that in his solo works too ! for example ..like faith concert!...also for vamps he is rocking there as he get's so crazy XD! ...i think he sometimes liked the slow songs ..you know sometimes he get's so quiet and romantic and lovely while he sing those slowly kind songs~^,^~♥ like for example...his roentgen album ;)these songs had his own quite lovey and romantic ones~^.^
but if you asked about hyde the most one style ...that will be a hard rock or a hard and heavy metal ~
hope i did helped ^^~!any thing else just ask ne!

Hello Seth! Welcome to our crazy world
It seems fun having a project about Laruku! I wish I could do something productive like that xD ^__^

As a sakura lover I can try and explain a few of the things you were wondering about it in the beginning of this conversation ^__^
I don't know, because I wasn't in on the designing of this forum, but my guess of why sakura is "Inner Core" is because Inner Core is one of the two (only) songs sakura has "written" for L'Arc~en~Ciel back in his days xD He composed the music for Inner Core, as he wrote the lyrics for "good-morning hide", and I guess that naming his forum "good-morning hide" would have been a bit weird xD That's my thought at least...

As for the individual CD-project it seems perfect ^__^ I would definitely include Sakura if I were you ~
But as I mentioned earlier he has only written two songs for Laruku, therefor I would suggest that you take material from his many MANY "solo"projects (later bands). I know he has written some stuff for SONS OF ALL PUSSYS (his band together with Ken), I'm not sure if he has done anything like that with the others... But I would recommend the band Lion Heads, as he is (was) the leader of that band (although he plays guitar, not drums with them...) Other suggestions are creature creature or Rayflower (the latest bands he's played with). I'd like to count all of the projects he's worked with since Laruku, but let's be honest, it'd take me all night XD Hope it helped yah at least a little bit ~~
