Kiss Customer Reviews

(music/lyrics) 1. 2. Pretty girl(ken) Pretty darn cool brass going on. Beach-party rock'n'roll kind of song! Lower vocals... Normally hyde does high, screamy kind of singing for these songs... Watch the lyrics. 3. 4. Sunadokei (tetsu) Very pretty! Starts soft then blossoms, then again. Fades sweetly on the phrase, "Kami no sabaki made..." 5. spiral (yukihiro) FUN SONG. Great beat, as expected. Guitar in the chorus makes me giddy. Perfect, something for Laruku to be proud of. 6. ALONE EN LA VIDA (ken/hyde) Beautiful. Guitarwork is amazing, melody and vocals flawless... Best song. Ever. 7. 8. Umibe (tetsu/hyde) hyde croons the verse, but sings the chorus powerfully. tetsu never fails, of course. Great track. 9.THE BLACK ROSE(hyde) Harder rock from Laruku. Stands out after softer Umibe. Could do without the piano intro. 10. LINK -KISS Mix- Subtle differences from the original. Uses ending used in lives, rather than fading out... The guitarwork is different too. I prefer the single version. 11. Yuki no Ashiato (ken/hyde) ken is shock. Such beautiful work this album. I want to hear this song. Again, again, again... all the time. hyde hits the high notes easily. I wonder why this isn't the end track? 12.

An awesome mix of some Tierra flavor, Heart rock and Ture pop + somthing totally new. Definitely my top album of 2007, L'Arc never stop to suprise there fans with something new, but never lose the special Larkness that makes them so awesome. I recommend this album to everyone new or old fan, because it's definitely a good album to get into L'Arc's music as well as a gem for long time fans.

I was so glad to get another CD from L'Arc en Ciel. My favourite tracks are My Heart Draws a Dream and Pretty Girl - but I love them all.

KISS is fantastic!!! The new disc of L'Arc-en-Ciel in two years is fabolous. With Themes as ALONE EN LA VIDA (my favorite of KISS), Umibe, Daybreak's Bell, Pretty Girl is really one of the my disk favourite of Laruku.

This is a great CD! My favorite tracks are "SEVENTH HEAVEN" and "Pretty Girl". I love all of them though. The packaging is also really neat.

Another masterpiece since Real (I do like Smile and Awake but they have no comparison with this album *0*) and what else I can say, this is what everybody was waiting from them, new rocking songs like: pretty girl, yuki no ashiato, alone en la vida, the black rose and obviously the singles that are all great!! Good job L'Arc!! we hope to see works like this in a near future (because notice that Byebye and Shine weren't included)

ok,for me this is their best album since their return on 2003. It has awesome melodies (ok, I don't like Seventh Heaven, but the rest are awesome *w*) and awesome lyrics, and it's not pop-ish at all. Special mention to pretty girl (R-rated lyrics xD),Alone en la vida (they say three words in spanish... yay~! *0*) and sunadokei n_____n The first press package is very cute, a bit uncomfortable to see the pictures, but lovely overall *--*

This is quintessential L'Aec-en-Ciel. Great music, stylish vocals; this has it all. Seventh Heaven and Heaven's Call are two of the best tracks on the CD. If you are a fan, this is a must-have!

as i was expecting, this is another exceptional release from the guys. i just wish they could have included more songs coz it was way too short, and more ken-chan solos...but it was worth every cent. this is a must buy for all old fans and a great starter for newer ones. i recommend tracks like alone en la vida, pretty girl, umibe and yuki no ashiato. these songs just blew me away. overall this is a gorgeus album, i can't say anything more...omedetto laruku!

I had been waiting for a new album from L'arc~en~Ciel for a long time, and I haven't been disappointed. All of the songs capture my interest enough that I wouldn't take any track off when putting into my mp3 player. Seriously, it's an amazing album, with lots of variety, and I'm really happy I got it. great, Great, GREAT album.

I was really looking forward to a new album since I heard the "Seventh Heaven" single! I love hearing the singles for "My Heart Draws a Dream" and "Daybreak's Bells" (Gundam 00's opening theme song)! All of these songs are excellent and they are all on this album! Now I have the album "Kiss" and I am so happy to hear more of L'Arc-en-Ciel's songs! L'Arc-en-Ciel always delivers! EXCELLENT!! How can I have a favourite song when all of the songs they produce are fun to listen to? I am SO hyped when listening to their music! The artists behind the album design does excellent work! Cool songs need cool packaging! I look forward to L'Arc-en-Ciel's next work! Thank you!

i can't say too much...... but this new album is so great....!!!! i wait this new album for 2 years...!!! ganbatte Laruku....!!!!

This album is by far L'Arc's best since their return in 2003. It sounds like the boys have really fallen into their old rhythm and combined to make this awesome album. Aside from the very strong singles which already makes this album worth it, tracks like umibe, sunadokei and spiral will spin themselves around in your head for months to come. Overall arrangement of the album is also wonderful, especially for Daybreak's Bell and My Heart Draws A Dream. Another good point about these songs is - you just know that they'll sound fantastic when played LIVE.

I was initially hesitant about buying this album because i was not too fond of the singles that was out before the album. But i managed to persuade myself to buy the album. And thankfully I was not disappointed.. It totally amazes me how each song that i thought didn't really stood out that much as a single sounded very good in the album. The arrangement is superb! Recomended to all listeners.

So far the most cohesive album L'Arc has ever made. Ever! Ever since I got Kiss, I've listened to the whole album at least 7 times a day. Somehow, I can't find myself to skip any of the tracks in this album. It's simply that cohesive. Each song takes you on a journey to the next. The transition between all the songs are just amazing. Like example, Hurry Xmas didn't exactly strike me as a very great single, but after listening to it after Yuki no Ashiato, it just makes sense and now I'm hooked on Hurry Xmas as well. Everyone should buy this album. Whether you're a fan or not, this album makes for easy listening and after a cycle, it will get you hooked on it. It's just that amazing. I love this album!

KISS is a showcase of L'arc's great composing skills, and seriously, I love this album. SEVENTH HEAVEN immediately sets the mood with it's energetic tune. Next in line is Pretty Girl, an extremely fun song which shouts "KEN" all over, and it's lyrics would make you pervy xD After Pretty girl is MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM, which is personally my favourite single that is on the album. It's an extremely beautiful song~ Next is my favourite song on the album, Sunadokei. It's a gorgeous ballad with a great chorus. Spiral is a mind blowing song by Yuki, which is so far Yuki's best song. Alone en la vida is a great song by Ken which sets the mood perfectly. After that is DAYBREAK'S BELL, which has an awesome bassline, and it's one of my favourite songs. Umibe is next, where Hyde's smexy singing will make you replay the song over and over again. After which, The Black Rose rock beats totally shout "HYDE", and Link will bring up the "happyhappy" mood again. A last ballad called Yuki no Ashiato by Ken, and finally, Hurry Xmas ends of f the album. KISS is an extremely good album which shows L'arc's awesomeness, and it's a must buy for all.

As a Cover singer for L'Arc~en~Ciel I understand the great amount of work that is put into the vocals and the guitars and bass of L'Arc~en~Ciel's Music.. Since I hear My Heart Draws a Dream I knew this CD was gonna be something else.. And L'Arc Didn't disappoint. All the tracks are pretty good.. and I love the Hurry Xmas track.. Get this cd.. It's just that damn good.

kya!! so happy with the album!! as expected fron laruku they never disappointed me ever!! i like all the songs specially pretty girl, umibe, sunadokei and alone en la vida!! ofcourse we can never forget about daybreak's bell and my heart draws a dream!! i'm really overwhelmed with the album!! i'll be expecting more from them next year ofcourse!! mabuhay laruku!!

Been waiting for this album release since they put out MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM and finally got it last week <3 I'd told myself, even if the rest of the tracks in are blah, I'll still get this for that single song alone. But as much of an obsessive fan that I am, I wasn't all that impressed with the previous two albums ( AWAKE and SMILE ) which sounded a lot like the members' solo works and loses the 'L'Arc as ONE band' feel their older albums has IMO. But KISS made me feel like I'm falling in love with their sound all over again. The track flows are perfect; I get led from one song to another and experienced different emotions of the songs without too much of a jolt even when it switched from that crazy-it's-so-fun-it's-criminal "Pretty Girl" to the gorgeous ballads the next two tracks had to offer. KISS is a wonderful mix of fun and rock and strange and emotional to beautiful songs that sweep you off your feet. Any album that made me smile when it ended it definitely one that I will replay over and over again. Christmas came in November this year :)

Well, refer to reviews below mine I almost agree on everything they said but I still think some of their previous albums are better. What I'm saying is I like all of the released single tracks on this CD but the rest is kind of...RANDOM tunes, I quess. But please don't get mad at me you L'arc fans, I'm still on you guys' side HEHEHE!!!
