y: that time when my car is here, I found that there was a sheep's thing on it, but no one told me about it (both laugh together) now I still remember very much (inpt: yukki only got his driving liscense at the end of 99) 
r: oh~ did you use this car for long travel?
y: ah~ to onsen I used this trip. 
r: what do you feel about it? 
y: no particular thoughts, this time I bought the model Amel Larrieux. 
r: besides this, what did you do in the holidays? 
y: to the records store!!! singles are very good, the album has been released, so I bought a bit of everything. 
r: did you buy remixing instruments? 
y: no, I bought before. 
r: your house will become very quiet like this? 
y: no! 
r: since it won't become quiet, then you must be playing songs? 
y: no, only strolling about like normal times. 
r: you said to sign (signature), in the end did you? 
y: no~ 
r: is this counted as not keeping your promise? 
y: what? 
r: you only said it anyhow^^ 
y: sign what... After three years, there's only Ou Teiji's (?) sigmatue which you didn't get (laugh) 
r: hehe~ 
y: iya, it's not me^^ 
r: recently is there any specially funny thing? 
y: what? 
r: then anything which makes you unhappy. 
y: there isn't^^ 
r: then you can't express your feeling like this? 
y: ummm... laugh, laugh can express it~ 
r: everyday you passed by peacefully? 
y: yes~ 
r: you're lying^^ (yukki won't uso) 
y: it's true 
r: when did it start being so peaceful? 
y: it has been peaceful always. 
r: peaceful situations does not seem to suit you very much 
y: It isn't, this is just opinion! 
r: what is the reason for this peace? 
y: it is that it has been peaceful always (laugh together) 
r: in this time the happiest thing is... 
y: sleep! normally the most I can sleep is 5 hours, it's not enough, no I can finally sleep well. 
r: what do you do after waking? 
y: after waking... Smoke, drink coffee, bathe etc... 
r: do you feel that it is more efficient to work at night? 
y: now don't know why, I can't do anything at home, so I can only find things to pass the time by at home 
r: will the feeling to go to onsen reflect in your works? 
y: no, I can't use this method to make music (re: tetsu uses this way to write music) I won't have inspirations coming out, so going to the onsen doesn't make new music 
r: besides creating, what things make you happy 
y: going to LIVE! 
r: like LIVE very much?
y: very good! I went to Shikana-kan (?) etc to watch LIVE!
r: didn't you go to other's LIVE? 
y: no, I went! For example, went to watch AIR's LIVE, not bad, I like very much, AIR's first album I bought called Oblivion Dust (don't know if the translation is correct) 
r: only this, and that time like AIR? 
y: no, I like AIR now, I want to go to AIR's LIVE still! 
r: what about overseas stars? 
y: only saw xxx's xxxxxxx (even my japanse friend doesn't know what it is... Red Hot Chilli Pepper?) I watch Japanese more. 
r: in hawaii making Finale PV, you were playing drums in the forest, how did you feel? 
y: umm... To be honest, putting a drumset in this place to let me play, it makes my mind blank, I couldn't play very naturally, straightly put is dislike. 
r: what place will let you play it well? 
y: LIVE! In front of others in LIVE, other places won't be considered. 
r: where is the place that can't let you forget in making PV? 
y: Las Vegas! (Driver's High!) 
r: is it because you don't need to play drums, so you're happy? 
y: yes, it's very good, because I don't like to play outside. 
r: now the thing which is most important to yo is... 
y: everything~! 
r: the specially special thing is... 
y: it's evreything~! (laugh) 
r: it is your body which needs attention, recently is there anythingw hich makes people worry? 
y: no, the my right hand has recovered 
r: continue(laugh), drinking too much glucose is not good for body! 
y: but other than this, I drink vitamin water and CC LEMON (all is Vitamin C drinks)

r: you differenciate love and hate well? 
y: yes! 
r: um. Love and hate is very hard to be expressed on the surface. 
y: yes, but there are exceptions. 
r: let's change the topic, what do you need now? 
y: imagination and concentration 
r: what will you do for this? 
y: listening to others' music. 
r: while making music, if you're not listening to other's music there won't be any problem? 
y: no. 
r: need a very exciting stereo? 
y: um... too noisy I won't need. 
r: including musical instruments? 
y: no, musical instruments belongs to the making part, quality is very important, so if it's noiser it won't matter. 
r: recently did you meet hyde, ken and tetsu? 
y: now everyday we will meet in the studio, ever since coming from Hawaii, each of us used some time to make music and now we study it together. 
r: Listening to the three people's words, how do you feel? 
y: everyone is very happy^^ 
r: what do four people talk about? work? 
y: no, besides work, we usually talk about the feeling towards a song, how to arrange and study towards it, not a word "yaa" and it's done. 
r: (laugh) recently are you still not busy recently? 
y: no, its very busy, my mind is good sometimes and bad sometimes. 
r: now is your mind very poor? 
y: yeah, I can't gather any strength now. 
r: when taking photos, putting your hands into the pockets, now I remember, why do you have this theme? 
y: It's more handsome 
r: in terms of image? 
y: what... I want to steady this image!~ 
r: want to emphasize on which part? 
y: the whole body! First put your hand into the pockets, this will make the whole elextricity of the person increase 
r: no wonder in the commercials we will see you put your hands into your pockets (laugh) now won't you do it? 
y: no^^ 
r: it's good that no one has copied you yet, yukihiro can don't worry! 
y: it's okay, if I have a better body it will be better (laugh) from now till three years onwards I will start training, like that there will be alot of benefits (laugh) anyhow saying ^^ 
r: (laugh) is this your plan before? 
y: before? before it's more foolish, feel very 'that' (laugh) 
r: laruku has what views towards this? 
y: what? 
r: that is your question!
y: (laugh) um... what is it like? 
r: this time the interview progress is very slow! now can't you think of an answer? 
y: yes ^^ 
r: fans are looking forward to your answer^^ 
y: yoroshikune (laugh) 
r: right, this time taking picture here there isn't any good feeling? 
y: before I went xxxxxx (what?) a few days, saw a few, but in colors (laugh) 
r: can immediately wait and it will come out ^^ How do you feel that is the most handsome photos? 
y: I don't like to take photos basically, no matter how is the atmosphere, pose, it won't be of much help. 
r: now you're used to it. 
y: now seeing my own photos, I still feel very wierd. 
r: but before the photos are very good 
y: ah, aiyo~ 
r: the group of us feel that it's very good~ 
y: hehe (laugh) 
r: don't laugh (laugh) now onwards can you still rest for a period of ime? 
y: um... In reality I can't rest! 
r: why? 
y: ah~ actually like this it's very good, in recording there is this feling, feel that drums recording isn't good at which recording studio, normally decide first, ark and ray that time, even though having chosen studio still can't record, always feel 'the drum's sound quality isn't recorded well!' talking about this, but changing studio is very easy, therefore now will go to other studios to record! 
r: un. 
y: un, the three people in this period of time of holidays, while making music will go to each different studios? 
r: what is the efect? 
y: it's still like this... 
r: then the drumming part is satisfying? 
y: talking about this... It's simply because recording isn't good, but recently really don't know why feel very troubled, try my best! Now I can record very well 
r: is it okay? 
y: yes, this is very fun, thinking about where to go next time to record, maybe it is better don't know when it has become like this. 
r: (laugh) this is a temporary happening! Now it is most meaningful to continue fighting! 
y: (laugh) yes, even though from how on what it will be like...

recently L'Arc~en~Ciel have a holiday, everyone went to the onsen. below is a part of Flying~L'Arc~Attack, very fun~ thanks to yukishiro(snow white?) for providing~ 

in the program hyde said that he went to "yuki mi onsen", it is onsen with snow view. 
after the program, the four people talk together with the staff and the programmer, when talking about the next time the members can go together, hyde suddenly says, "Oh yeah, if everyone go, it will be "yuki mi onsen", we can see yukki no onsen!" 
("yuki mi onsen" means we can see snow at the onsen, "yukki no onsen" is Yukkichan's onsen^^) 
yukki hurriedly says, "I don't want to go with you all!" 
very cute ^^
