8D 8D 8D , please don't blame me , blame REAL LOVE (2010) on that ;__;

:innocent

Music in general actually XD And you kept throwing REAL LOVE at my face on Twitter! Of course my curiosity got the best of me and I watched it! Now it's forever in my mind.

I want a tour... I wish I could go to the New York concert.

:innocent :innocent :innocent :innocent they have been doing it for 4 years now onstage so .... 8D

yesterday on DAIGO P , DAIGO was promoting X X X (he was waving the copy of the CD + DVD of the single every single walking min) which was really cute xD

even Acid Black Cherry's yasu was saying that he was currently in an X X X mood too haha , it's cute that both guys were helping to do free PR for L'arc if you ask me x)

Kissing photos between L’Arc~en~Ciel members published on “FRIDAY”

Putting the photo in spoiler mode for obvious reasons ;D

Spoiler:

On October 14th, tabloid magazine, “FRIDAY“, published their latest issue with “secret photos” of rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel.

The magazine featured photos of hyde (Vo) kissing members ken (G), tetsuya (B), and yukihiro (Dr) on the streets, at the park, and in the car. Although the article states, “It’s surprising that all band members were ‘partners’,” and “Is the kiss a proof of affection, or a symbol of devotion?“, L’Arc~en~Ciel’s official website denied the reports saying, “The details are different from the truth. We will refrain from making any comments on this story.”

It turns out that these photos were all planned and published as the promotion for the band’s latest single, “XXX“, which was released on October 12th. Since the comment on their official website was posted before “FRIDAY” was released, it caused many confused fans to speculate upon this matter.

Is it bad that I feel ... nothing towards the photos ? 8D guess since I've seen it happening so many times within BRZ *cough REAL LOVE (2010) cough* , that's causing me to say something like this :innocent

I don't really want to say this but it could be done as a publicity stunt, seeing as you said the comment was posted before the magazine came out, they probably already knew and let the article run? I mean X X X does mean kiss kiss kiss right? With XOXO being kiss hugs kiss hugs?

There is no such thing as bad publicity? Any publicity is better than none? After all the Korean wave is pretty big in the music industry right now in Japan.

I don't know about in Japan, or L'Arc in particular, but there are a lot of yaoi/slash fangirls and some fanboys too out there for various bands and other types of fandom.
