Article on Newsen about L'Arc 2008-05-16
For 17 years L'Arc~en~Ciel has been Japan's leading rock band and on the 16th at 12:30 they arrived at Incheon International Airport.
Their song is currently the opening theme song of Gundam 00 and recently in Europe on the 9th they played in Paris which is a result of 3 years of planning.
Taking their name from the French word for 'Rainbow' in their 17 years they have released 10 full length albums, 4 best of albums and 31 singles, reaching the summit of the music scene.
With a large pirate ship in the background the 4 rockstars (hyde - vocal, tetsu - bass, ken - guitar, yukihiro - drum) we can see their passionate performance on the 17th at 6pm at the Olympic Gymnastics stadium.

I don't get the '10 albums' thing, unless they're not counting DUNE. I saw that happen once in another magazine @_@.
Also they have some wordy descriptions for L'Arc that sound really weird in English, so I've kind of cut some of it out.
And since some of the captions on the photos were funny, I'll translate them as well

Leader tetsu, even in Korea he brings in hot coverage
Overflowing with charisma hyde-tetsu
Entering with charisma, vocalist hyde
