YesAsia Editorial Description

After releasing four singles in half a year, L'Arc-en-Ciel tops off 2007 with their highly anticipated new album Kiss. Coming right on the tale of their Hurry Xmas single, Kiss is their first album in two and a half years. It comes with 12 tracks, and will include both their recent singles like Seventh Heaven, My Heart Draws a Dream, and Daybreak's Bell, as well as brand new songs. In conjunction with their new album, the band will also be going on tour, carrying over to the new year with their 2007-2008 Theater of Kiss Tour. Rocking Japan for some 16 years, L'Arc-en-Ciel celebrated their 15th anniversary last year and, at the pace they're going, they just may have another 15 in store.

Latest Addiction: Alone En La Vida! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have the Kiss album for a while, and for some reason I almost let Alone En La Vida slipped out of my hand as one of my all time favorites. I reviewed most of their albums lately and listened to this track. I couldn't resist looking up the translation from the internet and here's the beginning of the track:

'A faded fantasy carved footprint growing misty
A faraway journey and then a gust of wind...'

I gathered that Ken composed or wrote the lyrics which has deep emotions. The music is totally reflective of the lyrics which is sad and nostalgic. Hyde's passionate vocals, the excellent guitars and drums accompaniments along with its catchy melody makes this my latest addiction and will remain as one of my all time favorites. Can't tell you how happy I'm to be L'Arc~en~Ciel's fan because they are absolutely among the best in the world! Get this album!

P.S. Hyde has one of the most beautiful vocals in the world! :)

Excellent CD Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is my first full album by L'Arc~en~Ciel after the single, My Heart Draws a Dream which is one of my favorite tracks. My other favorites are Alone En La Vida, Daybreak's Bell and 海辺 (Sea Shore?). Try this CD if you like rock music. L'Arc~en~Ciel is probably at their best with their rock compositions here and their playing of the instruments is mature and great. Omg! I'm upgrading The Black Rose to a 5 stars from a zero this minute because I think the drum beats by Yukihiro is fantastic. HahaHa! I think I might just get Ken's album next and look into other L'Arc~en~Ciel members' CD. It's funny how Hyde & L'Arc~en~Ciel have turned me into one of their big fans! :)

Turn it up! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
"Kiss" is a solid J-rock album from one of the masters of the form. The songs are tightly constructed and tightly played, all but eschewing flashy guitar solos in favor of lightning fast, molten hot, pile-driving rock and roll. For my tastes, Hyde's vocals are a tad overly operatic on the fast numbers, but that's a mere quibble. Oddly, the album's last three tracks are sweet, almost syrupy pop songs; they are nice songs, but strangely out of character with what has come before them on the album. Something for everyone, I guess. This album definitely is recommended for all J-rock fans.

HYDE's Great Vocals Once Again Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I heard this album from a friend, and I have to admit that this has become my favorite L'Arc~en~ciel album.

HYDE's vocals are EXCELLENET
(especially in 'My Heart Draws A Dream.')

I will definitely be ordering this album soon. ^_^

I grew up listening to L'Arc~en~ciel, and I have to say that it is one of the only bands I know that break up into solo acts (like HYDE and Tetsu69) and then come back together and make BETTER albums!

THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL L'Arc~en~ciel fans!!!!

worth it! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Any laruku fans should have this CD. totally worth it. This album again proves their versatility and unique musical touch and also why they are deserved to be one of the best jrock representative.

what really special about this album is that they are going back to their roots but at the same time still producing new sounds without ripping off their older tracks. there're upbeat songs that will make you dance (eg Seventh Heaven, Pretty Girl) and there're sad and emotional songs (eg Yuki no Ashiato) that will inspire you with their beautiful melodies.

I highly recommend this album, not only for laruku fans but also to jrock/jpop fans in general. 'Kiss' will keep its excitement, enjoyment and inspiration inside of you.
