Gackt and Hyde... yah, everybody needs a good friend, ne!
Laruku breaking up? That was the rumouor last year and it made the 2003 SHIBUYA SEVEN DAYS very successful. But I read interviews where Hyde said, that they never thought of breaking up, they only wanted to take a break, follow their own music-imaginations.
I listened to the new single last week, it is not too bad, it is very rocky, which I like, but it sounds a bit too much like an anime-soundtrack-piece to me (which it is, but still...).
I am very curious to listen to the new album! I read, that all four of them should have improved their music-skills during their solo-works - that sounds promising to me!!!
