[LIDL 692]

this is great, especially after CHASE.

This particular singles makes me excited with new album~!

[nick 10212]

thought it would be a double album like ark and ray since they've released many songs so far after the last album. xDD

[Jigsaw9 6783]

LOL what a title.

Anyway, kinda lookin' forward to it.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

SO FUCKING EXCITED.

I'm literally trying not to look like a total loser fanboy.

But this is sincerely amazing news. Chase was a fantastic single and so was Good Luck My Way.

Here's to hoping some songs like Seventh Heaven and Daybreak's Bell.

I'm a huge fan and I'll probably buy this album when it goes up for presale.

[Daisuke 20]

Oh my god!, Oh my Gosh!!!.

CAN'T WAIT, SO F*KING EXITED, my favorite Band is back!

I used to be a L'Arc fan then I took an arrow in the knee.

I don't quite get it, but I'm lol'ing anyway. Expect this to be more of the same uninspired drivel they've been putting out for years in between hiatuses tbh.

...uhm so 3 new songs. Okkaaaaaay.

Wasn't expecting those old singles to show up. I thought it would be just the singles from BLESS on, plus more new stuff. Damn. xD

[garnetruby 0]

I would've looked forward to more new stuff too, but laraku is awesome either way and they have my approval

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Here's shade of season from today's special video stream:

^ Thanks for these!

[LIDL 692]

oh already?

Drink It Down, Nexus 4 and Shine are good songs... from 3 years ago.

"Alright, our most recent singles sucked balls and since we are incapable of making anything decent right now we'll just fill the album with our last good material"

??? I'm not excited. L'Arc is pretty much dead.

[Licio123 181]

LOL, 1 month and a half away from the album release and the songs are already leaked. Way to go, Laruku...

yes, yes, all you're saying... mm yes.

[Frae 2]

There last 3 albums were amazing! But I'm very disappointed in them for this. I expect so much out of L'arc en ciel and this is very upsetting. Not one song on this album really has the power of any of their previous works.

[Pretsy 1343]

There were some solid L'anniversary singles but c'mon, 7 single songs and only 4 new ones? (minus one, since Bye Bye was an unreleased song or something like that, right?)

Milking at its best, no good.

Hey Hyde and co., this is not a good way to celebrate your comeback after a long hiatus.

[LIDL 692]

Well these 4 songs sounds like very raw and pretty much a demo or me.

SO i wouldn't take any serious opinion based on that.

And personally, Bye Bye and Shade of Season is pretty much Laruku signature sounds,

it represents both, the pop side on the former and rock sounds on the latter.

So i am quite happy with that.

I just hoped the final results just gonna get over polished is all.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

I don't know what's up with Mediafire or if it's my computer, but those links didn't work for me when I clicked on them.

Either way, I'm still kind of looking forward to hearing what they sound like. I am still a big fan of Laruku. Even though this is massively disappointing. XXX and Drink it Down sucked as singles and Bless was mediocre at best. Nexus 4 and Chase are great, but come on... Nexus 4 was released like 4 years ago now...
