Tetsuya's performance of Hitomi no Juunin has been uploaded to YouTube!



Here's the link as I am having trouble embedding the video (I can never remember how to do it) Hitomi no Juunin

So happy to finally see his performance.

Hyde has also been uploading clips of new music to Instagram. One of which people are commenting is a new version of Midnight Celebration but tbh I can't remember how that song sounds. It's been forever since I listened to 666.

I hope an album announcement is coming soon!

You should put the codes into the youtube boxes after you see 'v=' in any YouTube link

^Thank you!

It's been over 12 years since HYDE released his last solo single "SEASON'S CALL."

Man, I remember when Season's Call was released - the same day as Hikaru's Keep Tryin'. Can't believe it's been that long!

I hope the PV is uploaded to YouTube soon! I can't wait to watch it!

I was checking if the new single was up for preorder yet and noticed iTunes (UK) now has all of his solo stuff!! YAY! So I've been buying a few b-sides.

HYDE (L'Arc~en~Ciel) Will Release First Solo Single In More Than 12 Years

HYDE, vocalist of L'Arc~en~Ciel and VAMPS, announced the release of his first single since 2006.

The single is titled "WHO'S GONNA SAVE US" and will drop already this month - on June 27th! The lead track is a harder rock song and the topic is about fighting pain all alone when nobody is there to give you a helping hand.

The other song that you can find on the single is titled "MIDNIGHT CELEBRATION II" and it's a rearranged version of "MIDNIGHT CELEBRATION" that has already been performed at VAMPS' lives.

The Limited Edition for 3024 Yen comes with a concept book while the Regular Edition for 1296 Yen is CD-only.

"WHO'S GONNA SAVE US" will be the first single of HYDE as a solo artist since the release of "SEASON'S CALL" in February 2006. With VAMPS suspending activities it seems like the vocalist will focus on his solo career once again.

Saw a video pop up on YouTube yesterday about Hyde choosing his "best" song and he chose...Flower!



I love this song so happy he chose it! It's my favourite L'Arc song although when I first heard it I assumed it was a Ken composition. I thought he would have chosen a rock song so impressed with his choice.

[mi|kshake]

Finally watched the Who's Gonna Save Us PV! Whilst the PV is a little cheesy I am loving the song although I do find it a bit on the short side. I keep expecting one last chorus!

Looking forward to buying the single on iTunes next week although I need another single announcement or something already! At least we have Tetsuya's new single coming up soon.

HYDE's next single to be released in August

HYDE's new single "AFTER LIGHT" will be released on August 1.

HYDE is already set to release "WHO'S GONNA SAVE US," his first solo single in over 12 years, on June 27. The title track of the upcoming single is a number that portrays an individual chasing the light and searching for an answer while fighting their way through the darkness. As the coupling track, the single will include a self-cover of "KISS OF DEATH" which was provided to Nakashima Mika.

On HYDE's official website, you can see a teaser for "AFTER LIGHT." Its PV uses the motif of "Neo-Tokyo," which appears in Otomo Katsuhiro's manga "Akira."

Wow & a self cover of Mika's KISS OF DEATH , that I'm not surprised

natalie.mu did an interview with hyde regarding WHO'S GONNA SAVE US

[mi|kshake]

No way, another single! I don't think After Light is my sort of music but I am still loving Who's Gonna Save Us!

Thanks for the photos! I'm liking the blonde hair. It's cool Hyde now has a Vevo channel although I've never known what the difference is between Vevo and a normal YouTube channel?

I wonder when we will get news of Tetsuya's new single? Both him and Hyde are now on Universal right?

[KarenPang]

I realised the video qualities that Vevo upload don't tend to be that good & somemore they don't seem to be region confine

Yes hyde & Tetsuya solo releases are both released under Universal . I wonder why L'arc don't plan to change record labels cos it's annoying that the videos that Sony Japan upload , only those living in Japan can watch

I don't get it . Other Sony Japan artistes also have Vevo YouTube accounts such as SID , Shimizu Shota

[mi|kshake]

Yeah, the L'Arc FB and Twitter always want to promote the band to us yet we can't watch the videos they upload?

Yes and the disclaimer they put at the end that the videos only can be viewed for those living in Japan , they might as well don't post them to begin with -_-

hyde's WHO’S GONNA SAVE US single has been uploaded online early
