L`Arc~en~ciel: DAYBREAK`S BELL (My favorite Opening theme from Gundam 00!)


Gundam 00 Opening:


I`m a fan of L`Arc~en~ciel since I was 13. Their first song I listen was Ready Steady Go, an opening theme of Fullmetal Alchemist(First season). If you guys enjoy listening to J-Rock, this band is for you! Try to listen to LOST HEAVEN, Honey and Link. :)

L'Arc-en-Ciel (ラルク アン シエル, Raruku an Shieru, "The Rainbow" in French) is a Japanese rock band, that formed in 1991. The group has sold over 13 million albums, 16 million singles, and millions of other units, such as videos. They were ranked at number 58, in a list of Japan's top 100 pop musicians, provided by HMV in 2003.

P'unk-en-Ciel

P'unk-en-Ciel (パンク アン シエル, panku an shieru) is an alter ego of L'Arc-en-Ciel. Introduced in 2004, Hyde takes over guitar, Ken the drums, Yukihiro plays the bass, while Tetsu performs the vocals. P'unk-en-Ciel's songs have a more punk sound and their music is usually heavier and faster with a different tone due to Tetsu's vocals. Hyde wears a pirate patch over his left eye in P'unk-en-Ciel performances. Yukihiro is known to wear a gas mask; however, this has only been seen once at a live concert during their Smile tour in 2004.

Each member is called in capital letters Tetsu P'unk, Ken P'unk, Hyde P'unk and Yuki P'unk. Each member produces one song of their choice, and they alternate their productions.

P'unk-en-Ciel is the revision of D'ark-en-Ciel, the former being a special event that took place during the early L'Arc-en-Ciel years when Sakura was the drummer. The only material released from them is the 18-minute B-side "D'ark-en-Ciel" found on the (then) unreleased The Fourth Avenue Cafe single.

Their songs are recorded and used as B-sides on singles from 2004 and their performances can be found as extras on Live DVDs. They also featured television personality Sayaka Aoki with their song "Round and Round 2005".[More Info]
