ken - 'I would like to go on a Bob Slide ride with L'Arc-en-Ciel '!
Just recently L'Arc-en-Ciel have filmed their official footage for the NHK Vancouver Winter Olympics-themesong, which is their recent release "BLESS" at the NHK Hall. During the first press conference concerning the release hyde said "This is like the dream coming true which we have been pursuing for a long time, therefore we wanted to make this according to the atmosphere, which we could show everyone like that." For L'Arc-en-Ciel it has been about a year and a half since their last release and he commented on that matter "To meet with the other band members after quite a while has become something rather natural. We have been looking forward to get a new song at hand after this year and a half."
The song will be used to promote the Winter Olympics and the special programs aired for the event throughout it's duration.
Yukihiro commented on the song „The lines scratched intio the ice during figure skating are incredibly beautiful. With that idea in mind, I thought it would be great to play the drums delicately like that."
Hyde, who is a fan of Takagi Miho - a speed-skater taking part in Vacouver Olympics - said "When you are 15, you look at things gentler. Dreams come true faster, don't they? To be into something this much, is really a great thing."
Ken said laughing, I would really like to go on a bob slide ride with the 4 of us in a slide with the logo of "BLESS" on it. And then doing the Biathlon would be a challenge. I'd like it to be like (the Manga) "Gorugoru 13"". Tetsuya on the other hand admitted "I really don't know much about this, so I will watch carefully this time!"
L'Arc~en~Ciel's HYDE and Oblivion Dust's K.A.Z. together are forming the duo VAMPS!
The Live and Documentary DVD"VAMPS LIVE 2009 U.S.A.", which has been recorded during their tour in 2009, is scheduled for release on March 17th this year!
Amongst the recording of their final performance of that tour, comments and impressions as well as the excitement of other lives has been caught on film for this DVD.
Only two months later, they will also release their 5th single and their Live DVD "VAMPS LIVE 2009" at the same time. For June they are planning the release of their 6th single followed closely by their 2nd Album in July.
Moreover, on June 22nd, they will be starting their brand new live house tour at the Niigata LOTS!
The final of this summer tour is scheduled for September 15th at ZEPP TOKYO
But it does not stop their, but will be extended into a full world tour there after!
This quickly rounds it up, of what VAMPS have been planning to do this year and it is going to be THE VAMPS Year for sure!
On January 27th L'Arc~en~Ciel have been releasing their latest single "BLESS", which will be used in the NHK Vancouver Olimpics broadcast as a theme song for the program.
To make the release a memorable event, Sony Music Online Japan featured the single on it's Top Page for a whole day!
The project was launched from the 27th 0 o'clock until midnight. There have been the single PV aired completely, together with a release comment and the TV spot.
During the release comment the band unveiled a few secrets (?) of the recording...
Let's start out with the contents from what yukihiro said...
Yukihiro [We made this song to stir the excitement about the Winter Olympics.] And he was about to talk about some inside stories, when hyde interrupted [We recorded the drums in 60 takes. Certainly it would have been OK after 42.]
[You've got good memory, don't you!] Ken replied in a surprised voice, to which yukihiro stated [Actually, for me, the very last take was the one I remember best before returning home.]
For the fans there was not so much on the recording to remember, but it seemed there was more to reveal.
