Kiss Customer Reviews

I'm a great fan of l'arc en ciel, and purchased many of their albums. This album alone is a fantastic work of them, there is innovation, different melodies created different from before, like "alone en la vida", "umibe" and "hurry xmas". But as a work with deep impression I feel that this album was slightly weak in comparison with their past works. Don't get me wrong, this is a great album overall with unexpected melodies, but as something to listen over and over again over a prolonged period of time, I think I'm gonna stick to "ray" and "real".

there's no way l'arc can make a bad album. but it's hard to expect something new from them. all musics sounds as it has been heard before, and its hard to listen to 3 ballads in a row.

KISS is a collection of awesome songs, showcasing each member's talent in composing.It begins with one of hyde's "wierd song series" as Yukie put it,"SEVENTH HEAVEN".It might not be the best song,but it works well as album opener. It gives this"let the party started feel".It might fool you as a dance tune at first but there is this hyde's classic rock style singing/rythms underneath it.Then we have"Pretty Girl",Ken'sdirty rock n'roll song which is too short for being awesome.My heart.,a classic L'arc style that we all love jumps in later.Not enough of ballads?You will have tetsu's "Sunadokei" with extremely catchy chorus.The arrangment of the song is just awesome.Yukie's turn is next.His song "Spiral" really blew my mind.The drumming and rythms are amazing and not being a typical l'arc style makes it very refreshing. Alone en La vida wants me to worship Ken & more worshipping Ken for the greatness that Daybreak's bell is.Too much of Ken?We got tetsu now with Umibe in which hyde's voice will blow you away."Black Rose"just screams hyde.It pumps up the mood with sax/drums/rock.Then,a quick switch to happy-mood with Link.A beautiful ballad Yuki. & HX give very nice ending.BRAVO L'ARC!!

I got mine two days ago and I was speechless the wait was finally over. I started listening right away got to say this is just what I was expecting and even more great comeback after a long absence. ^ ^ And I also changed my mind about Hurry Xmas it's an amazing addition to it. Some songs take you back to the early Laruku which is awesome !!!! for me the song Umibe takes the win, beautiful lyrics and the music is something else for me. For those still wondering if you should buy it I say yes this CD is a must buy from Laruku.

I was very much anticipating this album and when I heard "My Heart Draws a Dream", I knew this album is going to be awesome and it is! The whole album gives me a feeling like a journey of a little girl falling in love, from feeling doki doki, being very in love, being in a crisis and spending christmas with her love one! The songs are a blend of Laruku's old tunes with new ones and experimental ones! Some songs are very "True" and some are very "Smile". My fave one in there is still "My Heart Draws a Dream" and also "Suna Dokei".

wow ....speechless....... that's the feeling i have after listening to Kiss for the first time. The whole album feels so special. the track arrangements, the sound quality, and hyde's vocal ... (oh, did i even need to mention, the man just keeps on getting better...) my favourite tracks so far (aside from the singles, of which have been my favourites for some time now) would be: Suna Dokei, Spiral and Umibe. but the other tracks are close behind, it's just that the three was my instant love. And now, after listening the whole album for 2 days in a row without any other songs 'interference', makes me feel so glad L'Arc exist and i have the chance to grab one of their masterpiece which is Kiss.

at last, the wait's over!!!! KISS IS HERE!!! I've been waiting for this for sooo long eversince I heard MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM... now my collection's nearly in to completion! Laruku forever!!!

I want this album NOW! I can't wait xO Yes, I think the same as larkgirl the singles were so but SO good that I can't wait for this album

Probably the best Japanese album of the year. It's been a couple of years since their last album "Awake", don't miss it. Don't miss Kiss :D

Oh my God!!!! the singles were great!!! that's why we are waiting so much for the album!! L'Arc en ciel it's the best band ever! *3*

can't wait for their new album!! haha so excited!! i like the cover it's so artistic and i love the the mv of hurry xmas!

I just know that this new album coming out is going to be absolutely mindblowingly fantastic. with gorgeous and refreshing new songs like 'my heart draws' and 'daybreaks'out already, i cannot wait for what the rest of the album has to offer. im so proud of l'arc. theyre just an amazing band. and getting better and better as they age. i want this album sooooo bad right now. still have to wait two and a half weeks. sigh. but KISS is definitely worth the wait!

Well I can't wait for it to come out. A little thrown off by Hurry Xmas being on but still it'll be a great album from what I can see, oh and also I love the cover. Anyway Laruku forever !!!!! ^ ^
