hyde: So everyone here is a member of LE-CIEL right? What if you’re not a member? (Audience: That can’t be!) No, that can’t be. If any of you aren’t members, you deserve punishment. Like...erm...sexual assault...no I’m just joking (laugh) sorry (laugh). Like smelling eachothers’ shoes... it’s embarrassing for someone to be sniffing your shoes, right? But our relationship is like that... Today, we want the atmosphere to be like that – like you’re at home (Note: this word 'at home' in Japanese sort of means family-like, comfortable, homey, cozy etc). That’s what tecchan said. This year has just begun...actually no, I guess it’s been a while since new year (laugh). We just released our first album of the year (Audience: we bought it!!) Of course! I’m sorry but as FC members, of course you’re going to have to buy it!...having said that I’m sure some of you rented it (laugh). Erm, so we want to play some tracks from BUTTERFLY too today. Are we ready LE-CIEEEEL?? Ok, so let’s get started with Bye Bye (laugh).
04.Bye Bye
05.DRINK IT DOWN
06.REVELATION
-MC-
hyde: Speaking of Yokohama, it’s that song. ‘Yokohama~, tasogare~’ (Note: this is a famous enka (old-style Japanese pop music genre) song by Hiroshi Itsuki – which is one of the most famous songs about Yokohama). That was the only bit I could sing, so I looked it up on youtube and listened to the whole thing (laugh). (Audience: sing itttt!) ‘Ano-hito- wa itte itte shimatta-‘ (hyde sings in enka style’) it’s like that. That was Mr. Hiroshi Itsuki (laugh). (Note: if you’re interested, this is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4ISuBoPCdY )

-MC-
hyde: When I was a kid, I wanted to be Kamen Rider (Note: famous Japanese suited tokusatsu hero – he rides a bike or something if I remember correctly!). (Audience: You can be Kamen Rider!!) Er, no (laugh) I don’t really want to be him now (laugh). It doesn’t particularly make me happy even if you guys tell me I could (laugh). I wanted to be inside that suit. Nowadays the guys who play the hero are all handsome and cool, but it used to be Takeshi Hongo (Note: actor from the 70s - not particularly handsome)...not that you guys are old enough to know him (laugh). tecchan, what did you want to be?
tetsuya: Me? I don’t know... (Audience: BANANAAAA!!!) Eh? What? A banana?!?! I do have a banana (laugh). All boys have a banana! Me, when I was a kid......actually, I probably shouldn’t say this (Audience: eeeehhhhh???) ... well, when I was a kid, the kids who used to be at the urinal next to me used to look down at mine and go “WHOA!” and look twice... they used to be shocked (laugh).
hyde: ...So what did you want to be in the end??? (laugh). Ok, so ken-san?
Ken: You know when junior-high school kids and high-school kids used to walk to school with text book in hand? You know, before exams and stuff. As you got older, the text books used to become bigger, and there were more subjects... I didn’t want to be like that when I was a kid. I wanted to stay in primary school. Also, I was a very tanned child. When we used to take photos I was so tanned and dark that I looked like I was the only one in the shadow. So I really wanted to be a pale child when I was at primary school. A pale primary school kid. Neither of these dreams came true.
hyde: eh? So you wanted to be a primary school kid (laugh)?
ken: Yeah (laugh).
hyde: I see... what about you yukihiro-san? (hyde hands him the microphone)
yukihiro: I wanted to be a Gundam (Note: yes, he does mean the robot anime ). (Audience scream and laugh very loudly) I wanted to pilot the Gundam. I wanted to be a newtype (Note: ‘the next stage of human evolution’ state in Gundam universe) and look into the future.
hyde: That’s a rather realistic child (laugh). But you must have known that you could never be a gundam right? (yukki- nods). (Note: from here, imagine hyde laughing like crazy whilst telling this story)Actually, yukihiro-san, don’t you...hahhaaaha...before you go to bed...hahahaha...before you go to.....bed...hahahaaa... imagine you are piloting the gundam...hahahahaa????? You said that ...hahahaha...if you imagine that you're piloting a gundam when you can’t sleep, you can get to sleep...hahaha...what the???... You’re so innocent...!!! I tried it but it didn’t work for me (laugh). I kept on being too reaslitic... Anyway, here is ‘Mirai Sekai’.

11.MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM
-MC-
ken (21st Century MC): LE-CIEL! LE-CIEL! You know that’s the first word of French I ever learnt. Actually no, L’Arc~en~Ciel was the first (laugh). Do you guys really read the fan club magazine!？I read it too, from your guys’ perspective. Which part do you read from first? The Q&A? That’s useful so you should really read it. What else... hyde? hyde’s diary?? I don’t talk with him that often so I find out about hyde from his diary! Like “Oh~ so that’s what hyde’s up to... How does he remember that??”. Do you guys enjoy reading someone else’s diary? Does it feel good? Do you want to know more? Like what our favourite food is? Or our favourite colour? (Audience: we want to know!!!) We used to get asked about our favourite colour in magazines all the time.
hyde: Really? ...ah yes, yes we did!
ken: I used to listen to the answers of the other members and think their favourite colour was cooler, so even if my favourite colour was yellow, I’d say PURPLE! I thought purple was cooler. Whilst thinking ‘Do I really like purple...?’. What’s your favourite colour now, hyde?
hyde: brown.
ken: Brown ??? When you think of brown you only think of one thing... Apart from that, there’s more things to read nowadays. Like ‘THE HYDE’... everyone asks me if I’ve read it on twitter, but I don’t dare! It’s terrifying! Yukki-san is always playing with Evangelion in the magazine... (Note: of anime fame). But you wanted to be a Gundam when you were a kid? Now, do you want to be an Evangelion? (yukki- nods). And what’s your favourite colour?
yukki-: Blue.
ken: Blue? But Eva is purple (laugh)! tetsuya-san... You do some intelligent stuff in the magazine. What is it you do? You meet people who you wouldn’t normally meet. What's your favourite colour?
tetsuya: Satsuki Midori. Shirt Kimidori (Note: This is probably the most difficult thing to translate this time – Satsuki Midori is a famous Japanese actress/singer. Her name ‘Midori’ means green in Japanese. ‘Shirt kimidori’ means ‘lime green shirt’. Tecchan is playing-on words here, as ‘Satsuki’ sounds like ‘Shirt-ki’. Sorry, that’s a really crap explanation! But in my defence, apparently ken-chan or the other members didn’t really understand the joke either!)
ken: So you like lime green? (kimidori)
tetsuya: Satsuki? Midori? Shirt? Kimidori! (insisting that they understand!)
ken: What? Is that a riddle??? (see, he doesn’t understand!)
tetsuya: Satsuki Midori!! SHIRT KIMIDORI!!! SATSUKI MIDORI’S KIMIDORI SHIRT!
ken: Aaahh I see (sounding like he doesn’t understand)...... SATSUKI-----??? (Audience: MIDORI-) SHIRT----- ???(Audience: KIMIDORI-) SEVENTH---??? (Audience: HEAVEEEEEN!!!)

tetsuya: (Quietly) Hellooooo! How is everybody?? I’m sick!!! I’m not feeling so good and I’ve sort of lost my voice... (Normal tone) CAN YOU HEAR ME??? The other day I went shopping with my niece. Hand in hand. She’s in her first year of primary school, and when I asked her ‘Do you want to go shopping with me?’ she said ‘Yes!’ But when I asked her if she wanted to go on a date she said ‘Nooo!’ (laugh). She had a bit of a cold and was coughing, so since we were holding hands I think I caught it off her (laugh). ...Erm, what shall I talk about? Is this enough?? (Audience: eeeehhhh???) Erm... oh yeah, did you see the live goods? Ken-chan’s (Note: the salami that he designed) is amazing (laugh). Surely it’s too big?
ken: Heehee! Initially it was much smaller, but I felt a bit disappointed so I asked it to be bigger (laugh). I had a choice of lots of small ones or one massive one, so I asked for the big one. But I have to admit, it is a little large (laugh).
tetsuya: Which would you guys prefer??? (Audience: the bigger one!)... what are you guys saying!? ......hyde told me to do a sensible MC today...
hyde: Do whatever you please (laugh).
tetsuya: Haha! It feels strange when hyde says ‘Do whatever you please’ to me! Yahooo! You guys know? Oh that reminds me, have you guys heard Bobby singing CHASE (Note: Bobby Ologun is a Nigerian TV personality/comedian often seen on TV. He sung his own version of CHASE on the radio which was hilarious coz it was so bad! If you are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikxXyS_-FBo ) It’s terrible! He can’t sing! None of it is right! Well.. you can see it on youtube if you want (laugh).
19.GOOD LUCK MY WAY
-MC-
hyde: (panting) This song is tiring (laugh). Erm... how many years since LE-CIEL was created?
tetsuya: 17..18 years.
hyde: 18 years. Who was here from the beginning? (Some of audience raises hand) Who joined recently? (some of audience raises hand). I see.. Thank you very much. Both cases make me happy. After 20 years, a child grows into an adult, an adult into a middle aged man, a middle aged man into an old man. (Audience: what about you hyde??) I don’t age. If I worked in a maid cafe, I’d say ‘I am eternally 17’...cringeworthy! (Audience: kawaiiiiii (cute!)!!) Yeah, I know, I’m told that often. I’m told that often!! After 20 years it’s normal for a band to become a bit conservative, but we’re off on a World Tour... it’s like what the hell (laugh)?! It’s going to be hard work for everyone including the staff, but we’re going to come back after evolving into a band that you guys will be proud of. A band that you guys, who have watched us for 20 years, will proudly say ‘Aren’t L’Arc cool??’. Look forward to our return!

hyde: (panting) Good evening everyone, we’re L’Arc~en~Ciel!! How is everyone doing?? Hello LE-CIEL members!! You know, yesterday was a bit quiet, and I was wondering why – but I realised, you can only buy one ticket for yourself for this live right? So the person next to you is a stranger (laugh)?? Well eitherway, your neighbour is here for the same reason as you, so get together and party!! Are you guys excited?? Are you guys ok(laugh)?? YOU OK??? ARE YOU OK LE-CIEL??? Oh yeah, the next 3 songs just happen to all be yukihiro-kun’s songs (Audience: YUKKI-!!!!!!!!!!!!) yukihiro-san was threatening to shove it up your arse (Note: yes, this was sort of what he said!) if you guys don’t get excited! So are you guys OK?! (Audience: OK!) wait, is that OK for your arse, or OK for getting excited (laugh)?? Anyway here’s the next song, ‘shade of season’.
04.Shade of season
05.Drink it Down
06.REVELATION
07.Jyojoushi (A capella)
-MC-
hyde: Erm...so today is a fan club only night or something (laugh), so it’ll be an at-home atmosphere. Sooo, LE-CIEL... (hyde starts reading fanclub magazine)... There are some pages where we look like a cool band. Do you guys check the photos of yourselves before they go in the magazine?
ken: Yes. I check them.
hyde: So this is a photo that you chose?
ken: Yes, I chose it myself.
hyde: Ah, you still check them yourself (laugh). I don’t do it at all now, I leave it for someone else to do. I can’t be bothered, I really can’t be bothered. What, yukihiro-kun, you choose yours yourself too?
yukihiro: (shakes head)
hyde: Considering you don’t choose them yourself yukki-, all the photos sort of look the same...(laugh). Sorry. I really don’t know very much about the other members, but if I read this I can find out (laugh). This is how they communicate. Oh, you play baseball ken-chan? Curve ball? You can throw curve balls?
ken: Yes I can.
hyde: Like a pro?
ken: A pro...? I don’t personally know any professional players (laugh).
hyde: (pretending to throw) If you throw like this, it curves?
ken: (also pretending) If you throw like this, it’s a curveball, if you throw like this, it’s a shootball.
hyde: A shootball is the one that drops?
ken: No, that’s a forkball. The shoot bends towards the right.
hyde: Ah, so the one that bends to the left is a curveball?
ken: The curveball goes left, and the shoot goes right.
hyde: I see. But I’m really surprised that you play.
hyde: (still flipping the magazine) Ah! Those trousers! Are they the ones that have the padding on the knees?
tetsuya: Erm... I dunno.
hyde: Really? I think I’ve bought some similar ones!
tetsuya: Are they really like that?
hyde: I think they’re pretty much the same as my ones, although it’s a slightly different type. Aren’t they warm?
tetsuya: Maybe...
hyde: I wear them when I ride my motorbike, coz the fabric is thicker...
tetsuya: (To audience) You don’t know what we’re talking about right? (Audience: WHICH ONES?) Erm... go home and look at page 23 (laugh).
tetsuya: I think I only wore them for shooting the music clip.
hyde: Your styling has really developed because of L’Arc~en~Ciel. Oh yeah, we just released our album ‘BUTTERFLY’. Kaela-chan’s advert is funny. I didn’t know her song (Kaela’s Butterfly) at all (laugh).
tetsuya: What surprised me most was the fact that hyde didn’t know that song (laugh).
hyde: Is it that famous?
tetsuya: It’s famous!
hyde: Really... If I’d known that I wouldn’t have named the album ‘BUTTERFLY’!
tetsuya: When the idea of asking Kaela-chan to do the advert came up, hyde said ‘do you think she’ll sing some sort of song like that?’ and we were like ‘What???’.
hyde: I wasn’t sure if she’d purposefully sing some sort of song which was like a butterfly (laugh).
tetsuya: And we were like, ‘But she already sings a song called ‘Butterfly’, and it’s famous! And we were going to use her PV’. I was surprised that hyde didn’t know.
hyde: (to the audience) I bet you guys don’t know it either! (Audience: yes we do!) I bet you’re all just pretending! (Audience: SING IT!) Butterfly, butterfly (singing) – I can’t sing with a cute voice like hers! But there are some other songs by her as well right? Like (singing) ‘Rindarindonrindarindon...’?? Eh? ‘Rindorindanrindorindin...’??
ken: Huh? Isn’t it ‘Dingadingdondingadindindon’??
hyde: It’s the same!
ken: It’s hard to tell apart!
(Note: this is a song by Kaela Kimura, which became famous after being used in a mobile phone advert. If you are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR8TrlecjXY )
hyde: By the way... Can I ask you a question? (Audience: Yeeeeeessss) No, not you, if you all answered in one go I’d have no idea what you’re saying... (To members) What would you do if you had a time machine?
ken: A time machine?
hyde: Yes, ‘a time machine. I’ll let you use it just once(impersonating Doraemon)!’
ken: Just the once?? Err... I’d go back to when the monkeys stood up. Like when they went ‘Ahhh, we just stood up without using our hands!’
hyde: wait, there’s 2 interpretations of what you just said – which do you mean?? Wait a minute, ken-sa-n (impersonating Furuhata Ninzaburou, a famous character from a mystery drama series). When the monkeys stand up in the zoo, or when the monkeys became cavemen?
ken: Oh, can I say something dirty?
hyde: You always do (laugh)! Even if there’s relatives in the audience (laugh)!
ken: Well I heard that you wrote in ‘THE hyDE’ that I should stop making dirty jokes...
hyde: Hey, don’t say that! Just read it, there’s nothing to be scared of (laugh)!!
ken: At this rate it’s like I’m going feel like I’ve read the whole book just by what I’ve heard from other people (laugh)! Anyway, some time back, I went to the zoo, and saw a female monkey masturbating. It was behind the fence, around 1.5m away, and it was really going for it! I was scared that some “fluid” would hit me!
hyde: Ew (laugh)!
ken: Ah... I’ve gone too far...(laugh)? Anyway, I’d like to go back to when the first monkey stood up with its 2 feet, and said ‘Ah, I’m standing! Let’s play the guitar!’.
hyde: And you tecchan? I’ll let you use it once.
tetsuya: Do I have to speak after that comment from ken-chan (laugh)?
hyde: It’s fine, there’s still someone after you (Screen shows yukki-).
tetsuya: Hmm..Just once... to the future or the past?
hyde: Whatever is good (laugh).
tetsuya: Ooh that’s a difficult question.
hyde: I’m scared of seeing the future. Imagine if you open the box and there’s nothing there.
tetsuya: I would hate it if I was bald too. That’s what it would be like right? Hmm a time machine... How about going back to primary school and studying from scratch again?
hyde: Eh? No no, it’s not that you can actually become young again, you just GO to the past and get to see the future or the past!
tetsuya: Oh yes,that’s right (laugh).
hyde: That would be doing your life over again! Wow, what you just thought was as shocking as the ‘Butterfly’ incident (laugh).
tetsuya: Then I’d like to see my adult self.
hyde: Which would be now... (laugh). Are you alright? Are you really L’Arc’s leader?
tetsuya: Fine, fine! Oh, I know, I’d like to see the first date of my parents! To see if Dad is properly leading the date (laugh). You know, if I’ll actually be born (laugh).
hyde: Ah that I understand. ...Ok, is it now time to ask Sensei? I’ll let you use it once (doraemon)!
yukihiro: Recently I’m really interested in Shotoku taishi (Note: Prince Shotoku, a semi-legendary prince/politician/scholar person who was known as a prodigy. He was said to have been able to listen to 8 different people simultaneously and understand every word.). But it’s said that he may not have actually existed, so I want to go back and check if that’s true.
hyde: Shotoku taishi is that guy who could listen to 10 people right? The guy on the 10.000 yen note? Well, the note from a while back (Note: Shotoku taishi was on the 10,000 yen note from between 1958 and 1986). As for me, I’d like to go back to the Edo period, and see the chonmage (Note: haircut/way the hair was styled by people in the Edo period – it’s that sticking up hair style that samurai and sumo wrestlers have). Coz back then everyone was wearing a wig, right? Oh no, it wasn’t a wig, it was their real hair (laugh). Ah, I want to go and see myself as a child. To see how cute I was (laugh)! I’d like to give myself a kiss and then run away (laugh). Anyway, is that ok? What, what is ok (laugh)??? Erm, anyway, next, a track called ‘Mirai Sekai’. Oh, and a baby was born today to a friend of mine, so is it Ok if I dedicate this to her? I dedicate this to Konomi-chan. Mirai sekai.

11.MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM
-MC-
ken: Ah yes... as hyde was saying, you all don’t know your neighbour right? But you look like you’re enjoying yourselves anyway, even if you don’t know them (laugh). From here it looks as if you know eachother. But you don’t know their names or anything, right? Or their blood type (laugh)? Or what tour goods they bought (laugh)? Oh yeah, I ate one of those salamis last night after I got home! Recently I often feel quite hungry, so I thought if I’d eat a whole salami, I’d feel full. But half was more than enough (laugh). I peeled back the skin, and took a large bite. But it was really strange, coz after that when I went to bed, I had a kanashibari! (Note: Kanashibari, or sleep paralysis, is when you suddenly feel paralysed during sleep, and you can’t move or have hallucinations and stuff. It’s common in Japanese terms to associate it with a ghost/paranormal phenomenon) I was having a kanashibari, and I could hear ringing in my ears! Erm, can I say something dirty? No really, it’s quite dirty (Audience: YES!). So I had a kanashibari, and I felt ‘Oh my god someone is licking my thing!’ and opened my eyes to find that no one was licking my thing (laugh). Normally, when I have a kanashibari I force myself to wake up to be able move again, but it must mean I’m tired. So I thought ‘Who is licking it?! Who is licking my thing?!’ and opened my eyes to find that no one was licking it. I bet it’s because I ate that salami! Did you guys eat the salami? Who ate the salami!? (Audience put hands up – not many) Not many of you have eaten it! Ok, so when you do eat it, you’ll be able to have fantastic dreams (laugh)! I went home yesterday, and lined up all the tour goods... Like the marshmallow (laugh). I felt I had to touch the marshmallow (laugh). It was made really well (laugh). If you ate that, I wonder what sort of dreams you could have. Oh and Doala! There are some really cute things written on it, like ‘Can you eat L’Arc?’ (Note: it says that on the back of the package). Did you manage to meet Doala, yukki-? (Note: for those who don’t know, Doala is the mascot character of the baseball team Chuunichi Dragons. Despite the team name being ‘Dragons’, it’s a koala, hence D for dragon, and oala for koala).
yukihiro: (shakes head)
ken: No? You still haven’t met him? Well I was amazed this morning, really! Anyway, it’s thanks to you guys that we have been together for so long... (Audience laughing) why are you laughing!? You know, if we’d been selling salamis at the beginning, no one would have bought it (laugh). Thanks to you guys, we can sell salami now too! Thank you! I feel like I’ve been so excited in the first half today, I’m so going to have a kanashibari tonight aswell (laugh). Are you guys having fun!? Are you excited!? Really?! Really? LINK!!!

We’re off on our World Tour. We’re going! But we’ll be back! We’ll come back to the Nissan Stadium, which is close to here right? Are you guys coming?? REALLY?? REALLLYYY??? We’ll be back, greater than ever! Thank you everyone!!! You want to hear the rest of the song??? You want to hear it??? BLURRY EYES!!
-MC-
hyde: Yeah you sweeties! I feel so excited (laugh). Ah tonight you’ve really done me! Thank you. THANK YOU! We’re going to take all the passion you’ve shown us today on the World tour with us. Erm, having been together for 20 years, there’s people waiting for us all over the world. You know, I think this is possible only by L’Arc. We can go anywhere if we know that someone is waiting for us. If you weren’t going to be waiting for us we wouldn’t go (laugh). L’Arc~en~Ciel has had that stance for 20 years – and that hasn’t changed. Now there’s people waiting for us around the world, and so we’re going on a World Tour.We’ll make it a success. And then we’ll be back, so you guys be good and wait for us! Can you wait for us!? We’ll come back, more powerful than ever. Ittekimasu!!! (Note: what we say in Japanese when we leave to go somewhere)
And the final song today, NIJI.
