THE HYDEHYDEa little treasure for HYDE's fans
I've wanted this book for a while now but I could buy it just now. I was always afraid of not being able to make it. Even if you can't read Japanese or have very little knowledge of the language (you can find many unoficial translations online) , the book is a treasure of itself. It has beautiful content and art as it's totally worth it. I'm very happy of having this book in my shelf.

This box worths every penny! The presentation is very neat, and the goods are absolutely precious! I haven't had the opportunity to watch the live yet, as the box arrived just a couple of days ago (customs was a pain) but I'm sure it'll be an experience! The item arrived in perfect condictions. I was scared because it was so big and expensive (I bought two of them, for me and a friend). Thank you CDJapan for always providing a good service!

Vampire's Love [w/ DVD, Limited Edition / Type A]VAMPSA power ballad
Back in the 80s, power ballads were everything, the moment you got get close to the person you like and slow dance after a party. This song is the definition of a power ballad. It's truly excepcional.

Memories [CD+DVD / Jacket A]VAMPSA real Memory!
When VAMPS first visited Chile back in 2010, Memories was a very popular song, with a special meaning to all of us South American fans. Then it was announced it would become a Maxi single, together with Get Up (one of my favorite VAMPS songs). This single couldn't get any better, and then you have a special DVD with music videos of Memories and Piano Duet and you just know you're on for an emotional rollercoaster.

VAMPS Live 2008VAMPSVAMPS-tastic!
I really got to enjoy this DVD, even though I'm not the biggest fan of hyde's solo activities. The performance is absolutely stunning, amazing! It gets under your skin. I was really happy to see GLAMOROUS SKY (originally sung by NANA starring MIKA NAKASHINA) in the tracklist, since it's one of my favourite songs and I wanted to listen it since FAITH Tour. It sounds pretty in hyde's voice. K.A.Z guitar... no words to describe what a great guitarist he is! His compositions and power while playing really get to you. Ju-Ken collaboration is a wonderful plus, specially if you love his work together with Gackt, former K.A.Z & Anna Tsuchiya band "Spin Aqua", and many more. Jin and Arimatsu are also great performers and musicians. Second DVD includes a lovely documentary, including VAMPS performance of MONORAL "Safira" together with Anis. It's amazing to see how the band is to its fans. The documentary really moves something inside of you, the footage is funny and touching at the same time. I highly recommend this DVD! There are just two firstpress left!

Love Addict [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]VAMPSAddictive!
If you're not addicted to this single once you listen to it, there's something wrong with you! With very teasing lyrics and a melody that you'll be singing thourgh the entire day, LOVE ADDICT is an amazing song. Accompanied by a very smooth song, yet very powerful and moving as TIME GOES BY is, thi single is perfect and a must-have if you enjoy of HYDE, K.A.Z and Ju-ken~ Totally adicted to it!

Chronicle 3L'Arc-en-CielA great Chronicle
Laruku's Chronicles have always been a great thing to see and enjoy. And this time, it's not an exception. The presentation's format is great and incredibly funny and ingenious. The collection itself is amazing and the short 'making of' at the end it's both cute and fun. I mainly bought it because of 'Jiyuu eno shoutai' and 'Jojoushi', but the rest didn't disappoint me at all. I'm really happy about Chronicle 3... Laruku, I'm waiting for Chronicle 4 already! Happy New Year!!

Gackt [Calendar 2008 (Try-X Ltd.)]GacktAmasing photo shoot
Gackt is one in a million of artists. He never disappoint us, and this isn't the case. The photoshoot is incredible, and brings out all those features that we can always recognize from Gackt: sexiness, mystery, beauty, among many others. I can't really find words to say how wonderful this calender is, but if you wanna know what I was trying to say, you HAVE to buy it and dicover it by yourself. Pure beauty, excellent location.

Daybreak's BellL'Arc-en-CielBreaking Gundam schemes...
This single is really pretty. The jacket has a very powerful meaning and matches perfectly with the song itself. It's really the type of song L'Arc usually give us, with slight chords that make you remmeber old L'Arc songs. It also breaks the common scheme for Gundam songs... it was great to hear something less "electronic". Side-b by P'UNK-EN-CIEL this time is Natsu no Yuutsu [Sea in blood 2007], a remake of Natsu no Yuutsu (not the time to say goodbye version) from 1995 album "heavenly". The arrangements were made by HYDE P'UNK. It has all that power from the punk era, very stong chordes and fast movements. I really like it, but I think tetsu's voice didn't have the power needed to match it. It's a good single, beautifully made.

Angel's tale [Initial pressing only limited release]hyde (L'Arc-en-Ciel)Cuteness made a single...
I didn't have the chance to buy it at the time, but after so many efforts I finally got it ^_^! The single is beautifull, a very simple ballad that makes you feel warm from the inside-heart. The English version it's just as cute as the normal one... personally, I love to listen to it while I'm having a cup of coffee in my living room, looking at the fireplace... it has a something that makes it so special. The special case is simply beatufull... nothing else to say about it.

15th L'Anniversary LiveL'Arc-en-CielThe best way to celebrate!
I'm really happy I bought tihs DVD. First, the first press special box it's just to cute for its own well being! The postals collected some of the best moments of L'Arc's career since yukihiro entered to the band (I would have loved to see sakura in some of them, but it's ok). Even the random pics where nice (the girls from Smile Tour and Live in USA, even one of the ants on the jacket *lol*). Once you star to watch it... you really get into that very special atmosphere that L'Arc creates in every live, plus an special emotion with the first acords from the 4th avenue caf?. The DVD really collect the best of the best of this Live: a great lighting, excellent audio, amazing quality of image, and a bunch of songs I always hoped to listen again in Live (All Dead, Dune, Voice, etc). I'm so glad it included I'm in pain, it's a great song, very powerful... The MCs, special moments (ken's and yukihiro's bithdays >w<!!!) and the extras were touching. The special presentation for Bye Bye on L'ArTube was nice and funny, a bit little maybe, but nice!! It worths its value... I'm very happy with it ^-^!! NO L'ARC. NO LIFE!! Looking forward for KISS, Hurry Xmas and Chronicle 3!!!

Asialive 2005L'Arc-en-CielLet's join us through the music!
One of the best concerts made by L'Arc~en~Ciel ever since 1999 Grand Cross. Sadly it feels really short, but it's intense at the same time. Good extra footage.. simply great!

My Heart Draws A DreamL'Arc-en-CielL'Arc~en~Ciel still draws our dreams!
Just to say this is one of the most beautiful of L'Arc~en~Ciel singles EVER! The jacket for first press is simply beautiful, the material is a little texturized, disc design just gorgeous, and all of the four songs are really well done. Loved MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM... it's the proof that L'Arc~en~Ciel still can draw our dreams... and we can draw their dreams! FEELING FINE 2007 is quite similar to Feeeling fine, but the arrangements made by YUKI P'UNK were fantastic! TETSU P'UNK's English it's really good~ HYDE P'UNK is just great! PERFECT GUITAR SOLO! Congrats guys! L'Arc~en~Ciel 4EVER!

Moon Child (English Subtitles) [Limited Pressing]Japanese MovieAbout friendship and life
This is the kind of movie I can watch a thousand times and never get bored of it. Probably the acting isn't completely great, but the story and emotions it evoke can reach hearts and stay within them forever. Values as friendship, love and life never are out of time, and MOON CHILD has them all, keeping them present even in the hardest moments.

FIVE LIVE ARCHIVES [Limited Release]L'Arc-en-CielFive Stars for 5 Lives!
I just can say I'm glad I could buy this, the most expensive of L'Arc~en~Ciel releases ever. The lives drive you through the time, from 1998 to the present days with excellent quality and nice presentations, special footage and backstages. FIVE LIVE ARCHIVES also included an special photobook containing the pamphlets for each live, making you feel like you're really in the concert. Nice presentacion. L'Arc~en~Ciel FOREVER!

HitoiroNANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMAColor of the success
NANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA is simply one of the most well-known female artists of this time. Mika, on her role as Oosaki Nana, has benn involved in a completely different type of music. However, and thanks to the wonderful GLAY's TAKURO, she could be a little bit nearest her own style. The single is excellent; however, it's not that good as "GLAMOROUS SKY". Hitoiro is a beautiful song, however, as a NANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA's single, it's not what I was expecting for. EYES FOR THE MOON, B-side, it should be a better choise. However, still it's one of my favorites songs. Contrats with GLAMOROUS SKY and is the perfect way to close a part of Nakashima's career.

Faith LiveHYDEFAITH on the future
This is possible one of the most powerful DVD Live I've never seen. With an impressive putting in scene at the Yokohama Arena and and a well-done documentary about the 4 lives performed in the coast this of the United States, HYDE and his band have given -finally!- the first big step to the consolidation of his solo work project.
