1.)
I want to join the official fanclub Le-Ciel, how can i do it, what are the benefits?
first of all, you get your le-ciel member's card!
(image)
also with your members number you can access the official website. www.le-ciel.com
then you get 4 club magazines a year, and also priority to order concert tickets,
order concert goods, join any events, receive their newsletters.
that's about it... for 6000 yen the first year. and 5000 yeneach of the following
years.
HOWEVER, basically you can't join unless you live in Japan. But the way around
it is just to get someone who lives in Japan to enter for you,
and whoever that nice person is, get them to redirect the mails you get from
Le-Ciel, which is just basically 4 clubzines a year ... and maybe some random
letters that's not too important.
you can still receive your email from le-ciel since you can specify when you
register.
2.)
I want to send Laruku fan letter / presents, where do i send it to ?
Please don't send it to the fan club.
Send it to their company maverick DC. The address is :
Remember to replace " member " with the specific member you're writing to.
P.S. writing to them doesn't mean u'll get a reply..-_-" maybe u will.i don't
know? ^^;
According to Pop beat interview, they asked " Do you read fan mail?"
hyde said : not really...(laughs)
tetsu : i forgot what he said..something like he tries to read?
ken : forgot what he said again
yukkie : i read ALL ( wow , but yukkie i never got reply from u ), i received
a 50 pg report
from a fan before too and i read it all (laughs)
It doesn't hurt to send..but..the odds are...eh-hem.
And... NO.. you can't really email them. unlike other jrockers maybe..like Gackt..who
replies email. there really isn't a mail to reach laruku..
if you reach their company they'd probably send u one of the generated messages
anyway..
3.)
Where can i buy Laruku products?
I do sell some stuff.... you can either check my online store..if what you want
is not there...you can contact me
i can search for it for you maybe.
or you can post at BBS and ask others if u're looking for a specific item
there are also online stores like CD Japan, CD NOW, for your CD needs.
fujisan.com for your magazine ordering.
If you're looking
for Light My Fire products or even older..it's quite difficult to find now,
of course there are still very few out there, but they're expensive,
and u probably have to get it in Japan.
4.)
Do you have all the band scores?
Yes. If they're not there they will be... sometime.......laughs .. just be
patient..hehe..gomen.
5.) hyde
so so are you japanese? what's your real name
Nope i'm chinese, i can read and speak chinese of course
i live in Canada now, but i still visit Hong Kong usually every summer ^^
Real name = secret...sorry ^^"
(actaully this is in the contact section already ..but ppl still ask)
if you insist...maybe I'll tell you?? ^^; well the thing is I'm not really fond
of my real name..i rather remain mysterious.
6.)
hyde so so why are you always N/A on ICQ, are you ever there?
Yes...i'm never in online mode...I don't like it when lots of ppl i don't
know start talking to me or ppl just
started chatting at the same time. so i'm always N/A. but usually i'm still
there :P
If you want to talk to me, just drop me a msg, em..try to mention
who you are though.
if i'm there of course i'll reply you,
if i'm away from the comp then i won't reply, but u can leave me any questions
and even if u went offline i'll reply you by sending u offlines ^_^
7.)
Are you hyde!? Are you laruku staff!? Are you related to Laruku?
<-- i know this may sound ridiculous....but i really got a few mail once
in a while
like that ^^, sorry to disappoint you...but i'm NOT hyde...and i don't
have any special way of contacting him...i'm just as distant to him as much
as
everyone else T___T yes.... i don't think he's that reachable right..
>_<
8.)
Luna Sea fans are called Slave, what are laruku fans called?
Cielers i guess? that's what it says in the club magazine.
9.)
I wonder if Laruku listens to Utada Hikaru? (haha)
yet another ridiculous question, but it just sometimes drives us wondering
what they care about...and the answer is..
Yes, at least Yukkie does, coz he even recommended that album in magazines.
10.)
How can i buy a concert ticket?
When there's a concert, you can either order from the fanclub (if u know
anyone
who's in the fanclub and not going so they can buy a ticket for you, coz
there are limits)
Or you can just call up diff ticket masters like kyodo tokyo etc when the
tickets starts selling.
However it's a random draw...so there's no guaranteed front seats.
If you want a guaranteed block A seat, you can buy it at costs like
10 times the original price.
Block A ticket is about 60,000 yen (about 600 US dollars), if not,
just depend it on ur luck ^^
but the thing is, calling..is difficult, because they sell a lot of tickets
to the fanclub, and then you call, while everyone calls..
for instance, in 1997, the reincarnation live was sold out in 4 min. so. yeah.
good luck -_-
sometimes i think its fate..its yours..its yours. ^^
11.)
Where are the "Laruku places" in NYC? (Where they filmed Pieces etc)
The place they filmed Pieces - the time hotel, 224 W 49th St
it's on 49th st, between 8th avenue and broadway, near times square.
The place Yukkie took pics for LIFE - Chelsea Hotel, room 525, 222 West 23rd
St.
To buy hyde's ring, go to 152 prince street, alex streeter store.
To buy tetsu's buffalo boots, 169 Spring St.
12.)
Are they gonna disband?
I'm not gonna answer this question coz i can't tell you...i don't know..and
I personally don't really care...
unless the news is official I really won't make assumptions. The thing is..
i just think it is not so important if they
disband or not. their music is always there, my memories for them is always
there. the fact won't change that
their spirit and inspiration for me is there!! so even if they're not doing
any work anymore, it might be a waste, but
i can still listen to their old songs, which are always good. Think about it,
some bands never disbanded, although they don't do anything.
someday they can just get togehter to do a gig or something. There's always
end to something, good songs end, parties are over at some point,
time slip! but music lives always! be positive ^___^
