I enjoyed their old interview back in 2010 when they visited France for BEAST WORLD TOUR. I can't wait to see them again!

L'Arc～en～Ciel performed at LIQUIDROOM in Tokyo on Apr. 20, 2012 in front of 777 lucky winners invited to this free concert. The live was part of a music festival named "Ki/oon 20 years & days" which is occupying LIQUIDROOM for 20days to celebrate the label's 20th anniversary. Another 100,000 winners got free access code to watch the live streaming on Ustream. I was one of them.

A footage from the live was aired in "Mezamashi Doyoubi" on Apr. 21, 2012 morning and "ZIP!" on Apr. 23 morning. And here're other articles.

There was a live screening of L'Arc～en～Ciel WORLD TOUR at Madison Square Garden on Mar. 26, 2012. (Mar. 25 in New York) I went to one of the theaters to be a witness of this significant event for all L'Arc-en-Ciel lovers. The screening I got a ticket for was "Delay screening" which started from 19:00 in JST, i.e., about 8 hours after the concert ends.

Here are some of my memories on the day.
