L'Arc~en~Ciel

REINCARNATION

97.12.23 at TOKYO DOME

Special Thanks to Inguz san who dubbed me this wonderful LIVE! ^o^~

^{It starts off with a movie. We see a carriage across the screen and
with 'L'Arc~en~Ciel' marked behind the horseman's seat. The location is
somewhere in Europe (Germany, I think, cuz that's where they did the pv ).
You see there's a passenger inside.
You can't see his face but you can tell from his ring (amber ring w/ star).
He is Hyde (vocal).
Then the carriage runs faster and faster...going from
4km..3km..2km..1km..than it stops.
You see Hyde getting off the carriage, he looks up and sees Tokyo Dome.
~movie ends~}

^{Rainbow colors all over. Hyde is wearing a cape + the tux he wore at Music
Station Super Live. He has tears in his eyes.
Fans scream like crazy. (I screamed too! ^^:;) Tetsu is wearing exactly
what he wore in Music Station (11/21) and Ken wore a satin orange shirt.}

^{Theme is red. You can see all members being shown on the large screens on
the dome walls.}

<sup>Fabulous play by Yukihiro(drums) I had to say. Ken's guitar entrance is
great. Hyde has the 'I'm the trigger' pose one time ^^; Members are running
all around. Hyde stuck his tongue out at the audiences and blows kisses at
them.

MC
Hyde did the MC, "Tadaima~~~~L'Arc~en~Ciel da!!!!! Yeeeaaaah!!!!! Tokyo
Dome~~~~!!!!"
Then he says they're sorry to make all of us worry..etc..so happy to be
back...etc.</sup>

^{Theme is purple. Hyde takes out his blueharps from his pocket and plays his
famous intro of flower.
Soooo cute!!!}

^{One of the best performance in this LIVE!!!! There are lights blinking all
over (like Disco).
So great so lively!!! *_*}

<sup>Saikoo da!!!! Wah~!!!! This song reminds me of 'Taste of Love'. (Hyde's
'howling' ^^;;) Lots of drums, bass and guitar!! A fast song where Hyde
sings with a distortion mic. Laser beams, flashing lights...
Love this song!!!

MC
Hyde did the MC again. Something like "Finally finished the long recording
of the new album (fans scream)...
everything is going great...etc etc."</sup>

^{A medium tempo song. It has a very smooth intro. Reminds me of 'flower'
(happy song).}

<sup>Snowflake all over the dome ceiling. A very beautiful and melodius song.
Going to be release on 1/28!!

~movie~dracula
The movie screen shows a big castle at night. A little girl in a white
dress is walking up the dark staircases. She sees the dracula and screams.
Then she sees 'L'Ar~can' (one of L'Arc's tour goods) and throws it at the
dracula. The dracula disappears. (all fans laugh)

~movie~twas the night before Christmas
Dialogue is in French. We see Santa Claus putting in a gift. The little
girl wakes up. She opens the gift and
sees 'Larukucchi' (tamagocchi in a heart shape + wings. So cute!!!) inside.
She is so happy and jumps up and down.</sup>

<sup>The theme is blue. We see Hyde standing on a tall stool-like stage with a
saxophone. Behind him is a round
screen with two wings moving. The wings fit perfectly behind Hyde. It is a
slow, mellow song. Hyde's saxophone solo is very nice!!!!! Love it!!! This
song reminds me of 'tsuioku no jookei' (from DUNE). It is very emotional
and beautiful. The theme melody is still in my head.

~movie~L'Ar~can
Similar to before but different story (the little girl got another
Larukucchi again this X'mas. She got mad and threw it away. All fans gasp
^^;;)</sup>

^{Hyde changes clothes. A red and green long coat + see thru green vest
inside + red tights.
No one else changes anything. Lies and Truth - as great as always, Love
Tetsu's bass intro!}

<sup>Like other lives before - fireworks and whistle. One funny thing is that
when Ken is running across the stage behind Hyde, Hyde looks back behind him
as if to see if Ken will fall again! haha! (cuz in Heavenly~films "95' Live
@ Nippon Budoukan" Ken fell on stage in 'Blurry Eyes' ^^;;)
The music suddenly stops at "..with your blurry eyes"
Everything just stop. Fans scream. Ken goes to drink some water ^^;

MC.
Ken at the mic this time. "I'm so happy..it's been a long time..etc. etc."
~back to Blurry Eyes~</sup>

^{Duet of Hyde & Tetsu!! They skip this part from Blurry Eyes and move it to
here!!}

^{Hyde's banging his head left to right, so cute!! There's this drum solo in
the middle. Hyde encourages the fan to sing the 'karaoke' (drums + guitar)
but they can't seem to follow very well. Hyde laughs. ^^;;;
Ken and Tetsu's counter play is wonderful!}

<sup>*_*!!!!!!!! Another favorite!! Really really great!!!!!

MC
Hyde "Are you guys happy? I'm happy!!"
He did a pose where he raised his two arms in the air.
Tetsu followed him. All fans followed. Ha! New L'Arc sign! ^_-</sup>

<sup>Hyde & Tetsu duet falsetto. Those high key 'ha~~~''s done by Tetsu is soooo
beautiful!!! *_*

~end~</sup>

^{Backstage
All members went to the backstage. Lights are off. Then we see this 'Stand
by Room'. The crowd is going crazy . Fans are doing the wave all around
the Dome.}

^{Lights up.
All members changed clothes. Hyde is all white. Tetsu is red and black.
Ken just wears some blue T.}

^{Hyde "Since it's Christmas time, let's sing a Christmas song! What song do
you guys wanna listen??"
Fans "I Wish!"
Hyde "What do you guys want to hear again?!"
Fans "I Wish!"
Hyde "What?? (pretend he can't hear) What do you guys wanna hear?"
Fans "I Wish!!!!!"
Then Hyde begins with "ring bells through the window, I wish you smile for
me..." (w/ no instrument) It is just so clear and beauitiful!!! Hyde got
great English accent!!! So great so great!!! ^-^
The intro of this w/ Ken's acoustic guitar. Very pretty!}

^{Rainbow colors all over. Hyde is soooo funny banging his head and jumping
up and down.}

^{Yukihiro solo!! Not bad!! Not bad at all!! Hyde plays the guitar this time.
This is in my top 5 song of L'Arc. ^-^}

<sup>This one is kinda funny - before it begins, Hyde is doing the MC, talking to
fans. Just when he says 'This is the last song and we're going to play NIJI
one more time', Yukihiro starts his drumming part.
Hyde goes "aahhh~~gomen gomen" and smiles to Yukihiro, because he's not
finish with the MC yet. All fans laugh.

I've never seen Hyde performs with this much emotion before. So is everyone
else. Ken closes his eyes and concentrates intensively. It is just so
good. Better than CD to me. Hyde has tears sparkling in his eyes.
Tetsu has too (not sure, only one shot). White feathers are flying all
over. (just like 'White Feathers')
All fans are doing the new 'L'Arc sign'. Everything is beautifully done.

~end~

All members (including Yukihiro) run across the stage and wave goodbyes.
BGM is a song by Enya.

Lights are down and the movie screen shows up again. This time playing
a new song again!! A song I've never heard of before! It's sung by Hyde and I'm sure it is going to be in the album as well.
The screen shows information of their new single, new album, and their L'Arc~en~Ciel
Tour '98.
The last words are:</sup>

^{"Merry Christmas
L'Arc~en~Ciel 1997
Reincarnation"}
