Hyde larc en ciel biography of barack

"L'Arc-en-Ciel is all about the musicianship. But Vamps are obsessed with rock music, and that's basically our watchword: 'rock.' "

Japanese megastar Hyde is weighing up the differences between his two bands. L'Arc-en-Ciel, the multimillion-selling extrovert outfit with whom he rose to fame as the singer, have for 19 years been one of visual-kei's hottest acts, even if the band themselves reject the genre label.

– What kind of places did you work at?
[Record… no, CD stores, these days. And a variety store that sold lots of accessories and things like that. That was a really interesting shop. All the employees were either musicians, or they were girlfriends of guys in bands. Nobody else worked there (laughs), so that store was a little different.]

– It seems it drew in music lovers. How did you komma
