Laruku Jakarta 2012 – Finally

Finally, after ten years of waiting, L’Arc en Ciel (Laruku) will perform in Jakarta, Indonesia. What a long wait for Indonesian Laruku fans since their introductory début as a musician that fill a theme song in a famous Japanese Anime airing in Indonesia, Rurouni Kenshin. The japanese Super Band will perform at Lapangan Senayan, Jakarta – May 2nd 2012 starting from 08.00 PM. Further information can be found at : http://rajakarcis.com/2012/01/25/larc-en-ciel-world-tour-2012/


To me, this is just like a dream comes true. I remember, ten years ago I was dreaming of watching their concert live in Japan. However, I couldn’t manage to catch their live performance even during my previous one year stay in japan and the subsequence visit two year after. Therefore, this “might be once in a lifetime” chance  really cannot be missed.  I gave my full effort in getting the ticket as soon as possible because as expected, the ticket were sold fast. Fortunately I already got the ticket :)

This concert will never be possible to happen without the great effort from Indonesian Laruku fan base community – L’Arc en Ciel Indonesia (http://www.facebook.com/larcencielindonesia). Although Indonesia has a very big fan base, the community could unite those aspiration and probably this makes Laruku spot Indonesian fan interest in their live performance and finally decided to put Indonesia as one of their 2012 World Tour destination.

Now,, just wait for the D-Day of the first L’Arc en Ciel performance in Indonesia. See you L’Arc en Ciel :)

L’arc in My Heart

My favorite band in the world, L’arc en CIel, will held a 20th anniversary concert on 28 & 29 May 2011. The two days concert will trace the 20 years of band history by playing songs from “Dune” to “Heart” album on the first day and “Ark & Ray” to “KISS” album on the second day. The ticket price is 9000 yen or around USD 110.  The live will be held in Ajinomoto Stadium with total capacity around 50,000 peoples (or even more for concert arrangement). FYI, the ticket for both days of concert is already sold out in just one day.

The greatest thing of this concert is that the will donate all concert revenue for the victim of recent Japan Tohoku earth quake. They also planned to reduce the electricity usage in the concert. What a noble thing that we have to also kept in our heart. That’s my fave band is :)

Eventhough I have stayed in Japan for one year, I’ve never been to their concert. They were at ‘resting’ stage when I came to Japan. What a regret for me because seeing their live is one of my dream. As for this concert, to me, the ticket price is really a small price for taking part in a this Japan’s legendary band history. Unfortunately, the transportation cost from Indonesia to Japan is far higher than the ticket price…. I cant afford T_T poor me.. haha

But anyway.. they will always be my fave band.. I started to listened their songs 10 years ago.. and I still like their song, performance, and attitude.. Hopefully I still get a chance to see their live in the near future… wish me luck :)

I really like the song and PV especially Hyde’s haircut. It really reminds me of their glorious years during 1996-1998 period. I am really expecting their new album to be release soon.
