12 10 2000: 

Once upon a time, back in the good old days of X Japan, I felt that everyone who loves X can't be bad. 
Besides the fact that I was 13 then (15 now), I think it's also because my target of band changed.

L'Arc's fans are abit more... complicated.
We'll discuss Bravery fans today.

What happened was, in late Nov, I was having holidays and was feeling bored. (I miss those times... I have a fucking job and I dont like it. I mean, I wish I can go to Mana's store, get employed there and then just fucking stare at customers...) So I had an idea come to brain; I would post a message and then have people debate me on it. Since most of them are L'Arc lovers, I thought I would play the devil, and I posted reasons on why L'Arc sold out, and they were supposed to debate me on why L'Arc hasn't.

I had it all planned out. I was surely going to lose the debate.

The point- people AGREED with me.
I lost totally without even losing.....
I was hurt. Simply put. I didn't think people would agree(aside from that Toxa bastard, which is predictable...), because they're L'Arc fans. But obviously... 

I ended up saying WHY L'arc hasn't sold out instead. I won myself. 

But from there, I can understand why Tetsu wrote Bravery....

Well, they were saying L'Arc sold out since Heart, or True, whatever. What my point was... If you wanted to say that they sold out, you might as well say that they sold out since Tierra, because the tragedy-feel of Dune isn't in Tierra. Not in that form. So... What the fuck?!

...People change. Face it, especially after going through so much... Listening to Heart, even though I never knew them before (one of my first albums), I realized that it sounds like it's about the heart. 
.....They went through, they survived like the rainbow after the storm. The rainbow is _different_ from spectrumic bubbles from your bubble bath, you know.
And L'Arc's music still evolves, as they did in the past. (if they didn't, they'd have the same effect as mechanical animals and holywood of Manson...^^; gomen naa, but....)

The reason for Ectomorphed Works is-- since they're sharing about the super-star popularity as Glay, why haven't they planned to release a _single_ collection until March 2000? 
Amazing... isn't it? The record company should have been pressing them about it anyway, because record companies are bastards who earn billions while artists starve to death. 
Yukki wasn't in the position to make it, but he _wanted_ to. ...The remixes are redone, not from the singles.

Saying they've lost their band feel-- What the hell?! L'Arc has changed. Visuality?! What the fuck, L'Arc isn't the L'Arc they once were. Sakura isn't here anymore, face it people! Because they were prettier? because their music been less complicated last time? 

...It really hurts to think about it.
I like Sakura, I really do. 
It doesn't make sense to hate Sakura because people are blaming Yukki, and because he was a part of L'arc, I love him.
Stiill, he moved on... L'Arc moved on.
Sakura is still Sakura; last I Saw him, he had the symbol of the flower on his face.
Similarly, L'Arc is still L'Arc.... ..They're still having their style, the certain sense of feel. 
If they really were sold outs, please explain songs like The Nepenthes, Route 666, and Bravery. (btw, Ray didn't sell as well as Ark.)
Please explain why Tetsu wrote such 'harsh' words in that song. If they were sold out, I think the other members would have tied Tetsu up, thrown him into the sea, and made him retract his words.

Maybe that's why bravery sounds so "jaded".

People say they like L'Arc's past more than the present, even if they only know the present.... I think, these people are crazy.
L'Arc's past is their past...so I love it. As much as now, because it's a part of them. It's engraved there. But I love them so much; the past doesn't really matter. Konna.

Fans.... Crazy people. 
hehe....

Thankfully, there were people who rebutted me. 
....Of course, not all fans are like that.... I think those who feel that way know. "surely this sort of people will always be".... 

*laughs* Since it isn't our problem, why are we more attached to it? Hmm....

And anyway, I find that plenty of fans moved from liking L'Arc to DEG. Maybe I think on only one route, but I don't see what's the problem about being non-visual. In fact, recently, I've discovered that when it comes to music, I don't give a damn if they look like zebras or dogs.
In fact....
I think, people who stay visual are called "not sold out". It's funny, because... What if they stayed visual just to tally with the visual scene and to keep their fans as they started out with?
Fans are crazy.

I'm never going to do customer service when I reach 16.... EVER. People are crazy.
