Hyde is the best vocalist in Japan and im not even a Hyde (Haido) or l'arc en ciel fan. He just has the best voice "registry" or vocal range out there, its impossible not to recognize that
you probably won’t see this since you made this a few years ago, but this is one of my favorite songs by them hyde’s vocals are wonderful studio and live wise. just recently started getting into them, but i recommend listening to white feathers! also i see you haven’t posted in a year, hope everything’s okay! :)
Thank you so much! I wanted you to listen to Larc first so at least you could compare Hyde's natural vocals to what he sounds like now, so I hope this can help a little. This is a very important song to me, Larc en Ciel is the first jband I ever grew attached to they led me to the Japanese music scene and to find great bands like The Gazette. This is a song that helps me when I'm feeling very down. You can really feel the emotion in this track. Hyde's voice is amazing. His deep singing voice is what attracted me to the band in the first place. Like you said, many jbands sing in high tones and sometimes that can turn me off to a band, not always though. I'm very happy you liked the track I may request more Larc in the future if you're interested XD!
Wow can't believe you reacted to L'Arc~En~Ciel ! Instant like! they are my number 1 favorite band. 😊 I love your reacts to Dir En Grey too. More power to your channel man!
It might be because we expected that you'd stay more in the metal scene but obviously I was wrong. I'm very excited that you enjoyed them a lot it makes me confident to ask for more of them and other types of bands in the future. I want you to get to know Larc more, they're a very influential band to many in the jrock scene.
Baldman Reacts Yup what Nivea said is correct. Been used to watching you react to Dir En Grey that i was caught off guard when you did L'Arc. Please react to their lives more! I suggest you react to Jojoushi, it shows Hyde's amazing vocal range as well 😁
My all time favourite from L’arc~en~Ciel is Forbidden Lover. The live version is so powerful which make me cry. I love metropolis too! Hyde sounds so sexy while singing jazz tune and I love it
Kosse moore I have to say Nivea she was the one who recommended larc en Ciel to me and she gave me a beautiful track. Hyde San he a very nice man. Nivea is the girl who told baldman to react to them. 😂 ah we didn't tell baldman that yoshiki San (X Japan drummer) and Hyde San are working on a new song. For the anime attack on Titan (a very popular anime in Japan ) Also vamps (Hyde San second band) released 2 new songs and they collaborated with motionless in white before.
I was very surprised, seeing you reacting to L'arc en Ciel. Enjoyed it very much. They were one of the first bands back in 2004 and introduced me to japanese music. Along with Dir en Grey. I am a fan of them, and espacially Hyde, till this day. I'm looking forward to see you reacting to more songs of Hyde
L'arc has a special place in my musical shelf; especially as a kid staying up to Adult Swim to watch the original run of Full Metal Alchemist, that their song Ready Steady Go was the theme. That entire album (SMILE) has a lot of full listens from me on it.
I knew these guys before I even knew Dir en grey. I found them in 2002-2003 when I was about fourteen. I could not get enough of Hyde's voice. I was not really into any Japanese music until then, so L'Arc kind if opened the door to a whole world of music I would otherwise not have given the chance. I haven't really listened to them much in the last couple years, so this have me a wave of nostalgia. Hyde, aside from his solo stuff, also has a side band called VAMPS. It's interesting that he can do hard rock too. I really enjoy the song Replay
ahh I'm happy you did this it's one of my favorite songs by Laruku!! There is seriously so much by them that I really love and I'm also very much a fan of his another project VAMPS. But another great songs by Laruku are Lost Heaven, Kasou, Drink it Down, good morning hide, and many more tbh I just listen to their discography sometimes to relax and make my day better. I'm not much of a fan of Hyde's solo work though, in my opinion he shines the most in Laruku and Vamps.
OMG I thought about how I'd describe their music to someone recently and I thought "a bit like a Japanese U2?" Im so happy you felt it too. Since U2 is one of my first favourite bands I think thats why Larcs sound appealed to me (also i came here after seeing you upload a new Larc review, I didnt know you'd already listened to them)
You have to listen to another L`Arc ~ en ~ CieL song, I'm sure you won't regret it, and you'll see something you've never seen before. I am waiting for the next L`Arc ~ en ~ CieL vlog
Blame is a pretty old song. It came off their 2nd album Tierra in 1994, it's a nice track but different compared to their newer stuff. But Larc hasn't released an album since 2012 sadly :(
Nivea-Dari Toliver yeah tetsuya, bassist and band leader has been taking time off to be with his family. He has two small kids now. But recently he did a 15th anniversary tour and released a new single thata a good sign for larc
Kosse moore Yea, Tetsu did have a solo 15th anniversary live a bit ago in 2017 though and another live I think in 2016. But I think the hiatus is more due to Hyde's solo projects.
Nivea-Dari Toliver i disagree. The band has been completely been inactive aside from the anniversary and some lives here and there. They had plenty of time to drop a couple of singles. They havent even done that. To me it seems like tetsu wanted a break with his family he just had a second kid within the last few years. And hyde is always making music whether its with larc, vamps, solo, covers, writting for other artist. Hes always busy. The fact that the guys havent dropped a single since 2016 is telling. I wont completely disagree that hyde activity hasnt had an influence on lack of larc because i dont kniw the situation like they do. But i feel like hydes activity can also be attributed to the fact that hes got the time to do it because of the lack of larc
Kosse moore but Tetsu had time to record 3 singles in 2016 and 2017 and an EP in 2018. I don't really know nor will I pretend to know why they're inactive but my guess has always just been Hyde wanting to try something different than Larc. Larc's inactivity has always mythed me but nothing we can really do. Is there an article where Tetsu states this cause I'd like to read it. He is leader of the band after all. :)
Baldman Reacts ...I can show you some stuff I've had on the playlist, but a lot of it's more pop-ish. I'ma get together a link pile and send it via the Book of Faces
This youtuber named Phoenix Splash definitely convinced me that LUNA SEA is pretty similar to U2. React to Moon(has that space/atmosphere vibe),Storm,Rosier,True Blue,Dejavu,Image,and Wall(only video available is this full concert video watch/listen at the 15:25 timestamp...this song will blow you away)
You should check out Yukihiro's (L'Arc's drummer) previous bands ZI:KILL and DIE IN CRIES. ZI:KILL: React to Lonely DIE IN CRIES: React to Nocturne,Melodies,Crescent Moon,to you...
L'arc en ciel is my one of the favourite band ! I would like to share the songs that I recently love to listen to . I hope you will enjoy them . Daybreak's bell : th-cam.com/video/Fl_Yh8FdYfM/w-d-xo.html Hitomino juunin : th-cam.com/video/FriCNXZXuPs/w-d-xo.html
I like L’arc, but I LOVE they’re early material with the original drummer, Sakura. He’s a great drummer with jazz influences and a good feel for dynamics. The current drummer Yukihiro is good, but his feel is a bit robotic sometimes. I’d suggest checking out Creature Creature some time. Sakura was the drummer for their second album. The song Dream Caller would be a fantastic start.
David B. Rockin Music & Anime I think Sakura sounded more like John Bonham as he got older. Much like Minato from Dead End did. I think Minato even pared down his drum kit to a similar setup to Bonham’s. Minato’s work on Dead End’s Metamorphosis album and the handful of songs he did with Creature Creature showcased his style shift. I uploaded Mirrors by Creature Creature onto TH-cam because it’s one of my absolute favorite drum performances ever.
Hyde is one of the best vocalists from Japan. By the way, he is my avatar.
Now I finally understand your Avatar. :)
Hyde is the best vocalist in Japan and im not even a Hyde (Haido) or l'arc en ciel fan. He just has the best voice "registry" or vocal range out there, its impossible not to recognize that
not anymore
you probably won’t see this since you made this a few years ago, but this is one of my favorite songs by them hyde’s vocals are wonderful studio and live wise. just recently started getting into them, but i recommend listening to white feathers! also i see you haven’t posted in a year, hope everything’s okay! :)
There are so many songs from L'rc~en~Ciel one could recommend. HYDE's falsettos are awesome and Joujoushi could be a could song to experience them.
Flood of Tears
Flower
My Dear
Anata
Dune
White Feathers
...
...
many many many perfect songs
Not many people react to L'arc en Ciel recently. Thank you for sharing. I really hope you can react to them more some timez
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
Thank you so much! I wanted you to listen to Larc first so at least you could compare Hyde's natural vocals to what he sounds like now, so I hope this can help a little.

you recommended this song?? Oh please marry me!!
Wow, never got a marriage proposal for just suggesting a song LOL I don't know how to respond to this XD!
Wow can't believe you reacted to L'Arc~En~Ciel ! Instant like! they are my number 1 favorite band. 😊
I love your reacts to Dir En Grey too. More power to your channel man!
People keep saying they cant believe I did L'Arc, and I'm really not sure why. This was really enjoyable. Thank you for the kind words.

I wish more people reacted to Forbidden Lover ,it's also my favourite song
Larc en Ciel is a very influential band in Japan. Hyde San the vocalist is a talented man.
higanbana彼岸花 totally! First ever japanese act to head madison square garden
Kosse moore
I have to say Nivea she was the one who recommended larc en Ciel to me and she gave me a beautiful track. Hyde San he a very nice man. Nivea is the girl who told baldman to react to them.

Aya is that you? You change your avatar and name so much I always forget who you are XD!!
Nivea-Dari Toliver
Yeah that's me. Shini told me the same thing yesterday 😂 I change my name whenever I'm bored ◐.̃◐

Baldman is doing my favorite band! Holy shit
L'arc has a special place in my musical shelf; especially as a kid staying up to Adult Swim to watch the original run of Full Metal Alchemist, that their song Ready Steady Go was the theme. That entire album (SMILE) has a lot of full listens from me on it.
Yay finally, is this your first time listening to L'Arc en Ciel? ARK is one of my favorite albums, these guys have so many gems.
I knew these guys before I even knew Dir en grey. I found them in 2002-2003 when I was about fourteen. I could not get enough of Hyde's voice. I was not really into any Japanese music until then, so L'Arc kind if opened the door to a whole world of music I would otherwise not have given the chance.

Hyde, aside from his solo stuff, also has a side band called VAMPS. It's interesting that he can do hard rock too. I really enjoy the song Replay
Thx Baldman, for reacting my most favorite band!👍
First Coheed, now L'Arc En Ciel!?! Double Subscribed!
I will always think that their ‘My Heart Draws a Dream’ performance at Madison square garden is in their top 3 best performances.
Driver's High, finale, Honey, Heaven's Drive, kasou, Dive to Blue, snow drop, Lost Heaven, Pieces, Ready Steady Go.
HYDE solo albums; Roentgen, 666, FAITH. has more of a alternative & nu-metal style.
kasou man!! what an splendid song dude!
ahh I'm happy you did this it's one of my favorite songs by Laruku!! There is seriously so much by them that I really love and I'm also very much a fan of his another project VAMPS. But another great songs by Laruku are Lost Heaven, Kasou, Drink it Down, good morning hide, and many more tbh I just listen to their discography sometimes to relax and make my day better.
I'm not much of a fan of Hyde's solo work though, in my opinion he shines the most in Laruku and Vamps.
Once again, Hyde can sing his face off! The entire band is so very talented though! Hyde, Tetsuya, Ken, and Yukihiro are amazing together! 😎🤘🏻
Larc~en~Ciel's Trust Live and Vamps' Memories Live are good places to check other cool vocals from Hyde's.
OMG I thought about how I'd describe their music to someone recently and I thought "a bit like a Japanese U2?" Im so happy you felt it too. Since U2 is one of my first favourite bands I think thats why Larcs sound appealed to me
(also i came here after seeing you upload a new Larc review, I didnt know you'd already listened to them)
Yes... Yes... more larc en ciel.. 😆😆
For me, Hide has the best voice... decades can't fade it away... 🥰
You have to listen to another L`Arc ~ en ~ CieL song, I'm sure you won't regret it, and you'll see something you've never seen before. I am waiting for the next L`Arc ~ en ~ CieL vlog
love your reaction 👍
Love this song so much, it's amazing and they never play it :'( so this is gold to me
I clicked on this video soo quickly haha. Listening to L'arc songs always make me feel really happy, I'm glad that you seem to be enjoying them too :D
L'Arc～en～Ciel最高🌈続けてくれてる事に感謝します❗️
I'm reminded again of how big of a voice Hyde has. Not having been into L'arc much, I missed out on this track. Thanks for taking Nivea's suggestion.
Blame is a pretty old song. It came off their 2nd album Tierra in 1994, it's a nice track but different compared to their newer stuff. But Larc hasn't released an album since 2012 sadly :(

They actually did the first opening track for Gundam 00, "Daybreak's Bell". Been on my anime music playlist on the iPod for ages
You have been holding out on me brother. :)
Baldman Reacts ...I can show you some stuff I've had on the playlist, but a lot of it's more pop-ish. I'ma get together a link pile and send it via the Book of Faces
On another note, I would love to hear some top tens from you just to know what your favorites are from the week. Would be interesting to hear. :)
No L'arc No Life
ＩLOVE L'Arc〜en〜Ciel
Eles são incríveis desde sempre!!! :)
React/listen to Natsu No Yuutsu(Time To Say Goodbye),My Heart Draws A Dream,Daybreak's Bell,Blurry Eyes,Dune,As If In A Dream,Kaze No Yukue...
This youtuber named Phoenix Splash definitely convinced me that LUNA SEA is pretty similar to U2.
React to Moon(has that space/atmosphere vibe),Storm,Rosier,True Blue,Dejavu,Image,and Wall(only video available is this full concert video watch/listen at the 15:25 timestamp...this song will blow you away)
You should check out Yukihiro's (L'Arc's drummer) previous bands ZI:KILL and DIE IN CRIES.
ZI:KILL: React to Lonely
DIE IN CRIES: React to Nocturne,Melodies,Crescent Moon,to you...
I dont feel that Luna Sea is similar to U2. Luna Sea is a very different band from U2 from what I have heard.
Moon - my all time favourite of theirs!!! I love LS old edgy stuff... Early Luna Sea is nothing like U2
My Ｎｏ．1 bassist is L'Arc~en~Ciel tetsuya✌(´>ω
just wait until the reff
Flood of Tears and Fourth Avenue Cafe, please!!!!!!!!!!
Tetsuya the bassist is incredible. I’m actually learning their song “Honey” on bass, def my fav song from them.
Please react to The Gazette - Stupid Tiny Insect live CODA
L'arc en ciel is my one of the favourite band ! I would like to share the songs that I recently love to listen to . I hope you will enjoy them .

I’d suggest checking out Creature Creature some time. Sakura was the drummer for their second album. The song Dream Caller would be a fantastic start.
Sakura kinda reminds me of John Bonham
@Baldman Reacts definitely check out Creature Creature...also check out DEAD END. Listen to their song Serafine
God, yes! Dead End - Serafine... I've been requesting the granddads of VK for ages :D th-cam.com/video/trwJq63IcQc/w-d-xo.html
+1 for Serafine. I will add that Ryuichi from Luna sea did a cover of it. Just an idea for a double reaction.
David B. Rockin Music & Anime I think Sakura sounded more like John Bonham as he got older. Much like Minato from Dead End did. I think Minato even pared down his drum kit to a similar setup to Bonham’s. Minato’s work on Dead End’s Metamorphosis album and the handful of songs he did with Creature Creature showcased his style shift. I uploaded Mirrors by Creature Creature onto TH-cam because it’s one of my absolute favorite drum performances ever.
Thank you!! I didn't know this Actually I'm huge Hyde fun!!
I thank Nivea for this one. I really enjoyed this. I am glad you did too.
Baldman, please do a review of Sculpture of Time album by La'Cryma Christi!
The best l'arc en ciel song is Floods of tears!Or Tsuioku no joukei! Those are gold
Feel good song, great vocals! But I disagree that they put on a great show.... They barely move ;-p
It's only the guitar player who really seems to move.
LOL they moved around the rest of the live on the fun songs, just not on this song XD!
In this song, in many others, he moves his hips more than Shakira haha
