Another beautiful slow song
Another beautiful slow song
|
I love L'arc-en-Ciel's slow songs. Hyde always sings them with great passion. And I love how he hits the high notes. I saw L'arc-en-Ciel perform this song on some music programs and it is amazing. The last part of the song goes like this: kisetsu ha iro wo kaete ikudo megurou to mo kono kimochi ha karenai hana no you ni yume nara yume no mama de kamawanai aisuru kagayaki ni afure mune wo someru itsumademo kimi wo omoi The love to you is alive me. wo- every day for love. You are aside of me wo- every day |

Great, but C/Ws poor
|
I thought Jojoshi was a great song... the lyrics are delicate and the melody is very beautiful, especially in the beginning where it's just Hyde with a Clarinet singing. But the P'UNK version of Heaven's Drive was rather poorly done. Let's hope the P'UNK versions start getting better :-\ The casing is beautiful and original, meant to mimic the case of a cassette tape with the clear cover and folded over booklet. |

Jyojyoshi in a Word: Beautiful
| Ah yes, L'arc is back this time with a ballad. At first listen, Jyojyoshi is a little bland but it grew on me amazingly quickly. I realise that as it is with Hitomi no Jyunin, L'arc ballads tend to latch onto you and grow and grow. The chorus, especially, is beautifully catchy and I love the way Hyde uses his voice like a force throughout the entire song, alternating through the notes with great emotion. Most of all, the song is shiny and marks a return to form for L'arc. The song itself is lovely, meandering through a variety of emotions and expressed in a beautiful dark and grandiose way. |

Better With Age
| Hyde's solo projects definately paid off. You will not hear his voice more confident and controlled, especially in his signiture falsetto. I'm very proud of the group for being so dynamic. We've heard a lot of fast paced pop and rock from them, but here is a fabulous, sophisticated ballad. Very "artistic" (especially if you've seen the video). Laruku just keeps getting better and better. I don't think this is a new direction, just another honey pot they've dipped their hands into. "Jojoshi" is highly recommended. |

Not the best
| To be honest i think this song doesnt do L'arc justice. Hydes vocals dont show off his amazing voice, it was so nasal i thought it was Tetsu during Jojoshi. The Punkenciel songs were not bad... a little wierd tho. I think they could have done alot better if they spend more time on these singles. I love larc... from vivid colors to now but i just worry about the future of their music. I cnat wait for the new album im obsessed with killingme and i hope they will redeem themselves. btw im obsessed with Larc and i love them and all of their music i just hope they dont continue this way |

Another classic ballad
| A single finally penned by ken after so many years should definitely be heard! L'Arc~en~Ciel's new single, "Jyojyoushi", is a powerful ballad starting off with hyde's mesmerizing voice. The drums are awesome, as always, as well as tetsu's complex basslines and ken's graceful guitar solo. At a first listen, it might sound like something along the lines of "forbidden lover" and "finale", and like the songs mentioned, it also gives a sense of grandness to the listener. As the optimistic-sounding song progresses, the mood of it gets quite dark as it enters the chorus, and the orchestra that's also included definitely help set the tone and mood for this beautiful ballad. The PV for this song definitely conveys the tone for this song, and if you can, please have a look at it. ^-^ P'UNK~EN~CIEL's cover this time is "HEAVEN'S DRIVE 2005" and sadly enough, it's not as creative as the previous c/w they have done, "Kasou Heisei 17nen". The opening doesn't sound p'unk style, but more like Orange Range. Speeding up the original, tetsu sounds quite forceful in this c/w. Although the original is better than the p'unk version, it's a creative alternation and should be heard. Their new album, "AWAKE", released in June, is definitely anticipated. |

Amazing!
| It's been a while since Laruku released a ballad, but Jyojyoushi certainly proves that they haven't lost their touch for writing them. It's a beautiful song and wonderfully composed. HEAVEN'S DRIVE 2005 is a great P'UNK~EN~CIEL re-work of the original. I personally prefer the original HEAVEN'S DRIVE, but nevertheless, the 2005 version is not to be missed! |

And yet again...
|
And Laruku returns yet again with a masterpiece of a single. Why am I just not surprised? The intro is emotional and haunting, and probably my favorite part of the song. Hyde's voice is just wonderful throughout this entire song, and really gives it the classy edge which has become a Laruku trademark. |

jojoshi!
|
after 2 fast ones here comes a ballad! very looking forward to it! in response to the review above, this single Jojoshi isn't the one that is going to open full metal alchemist's movie. According to Sony Music Online Japan, the one that does is called "LOST HEAVEN", which is also going to be in their "AWAKE" album, releasing on June 22. |
