Very few pieces of music actively grab me when I'm over 3-quarters asleep. This song, though, is something else. It gave me goosebumps and made the hair on my arms stand up. Dear god, it was AMAZING.
Ah cool, I wasn't aware of the parallel as I was never a huge fan of L'arc until recently, having listened to their album Dune. I should listen to some more L'arc, some of their songs are top tier stuff
Though honestly neither band are as good as Shu Furuma Ju
I actually showed a friend of mine who's also into Japanese music Shu~ recently, we had a great kick. Listened to the whole EP(?)/Mini or whatever. It's mind bending.
