L'Arcafe finale
Today was the last day of L'Arcafe at Space Shower Diner being open. This day didn't go without surprises!
Hyde made a surprise appearance in L'Arcafe together with Yasu (from Acid Black Cherry)!
Here's what happened, according to several reports of fans who were lucky to be there:
* Hyde's original comments can be found in this post (in blue text). As usual, please correct if I made mistakes trying to translate them. If you have more juicy details, please share them here. L'Arcafe pictures are from the same blog, this great report - thank you so much L'V!
(I haven't found any pictures of this little event yet... it's been stated on many reports that photographing inside the cafe was allowed, so I guess it was specifically forbidden during their appearance. I can't think of any other reason for this sudden lack of photos.)
Sources: All things mentioned above are solely based on fan reports. Hyde's appearance was not previously announced anywhere, so no one (besides the staff obviously) knew they were coming. Even so, he was there on some sort of official business so I think it's safe to assume he wouldn't (be allowed to) say anything he is not supposed to reveal yet. Despite of this, I'll tag this post as 'rumors'.
EDIT: Thank you nanani for the corrections and for translating the entrance announcement!
Also, there are additional tickets released for Saitama concerts, they will go on sale September 1 (at 19:00). More details here: http://l-tike.com/concert/larc-en-ciel/
Hyde made a surprise appearance in L'Arcafe together with Yasu (from Acid Black Cherry)!
Here's what happened, according to several reports of fans who were lucky to be there:
- First sign of unusual activity: There was more staff than usual, and a table for two set on stage; in front of the big screen, behind the tour good displays. Then lights are dimmed, and a brief announcement of who are gonna be the guests for today's dinner. EDIT: The announcement was "We dragged in this couple who were on a date nearby".
- L'A HAPPY NEW YEAR footage was shown on TV screens, they showed the countdown part and the audience joined in it loudly as they welcomed the guests.
- Hyde and Yasu arrived! It was around 18 or 18:30 pm. (Dinner starts at 18:00.) Most fans are referring this as a "date", apparently the setting was made to look like that, and also hyde used this word. (I think this is some sort of ongoing joke between the guys, and obviously it's not supposed to be taken 100% seriously. Unless you really want to)
- Hyde's hairstyle is important business as always. Some say it looks exactly like on the GOOD LUCK MY WAY jacket, others say it looks like that on the Music Station performance. Some also mention his beloved leopard jacket while others just say he was dressed in black jacket, black pants, black boots. One thing everyone agrees on: both were wearing sunglasses.
- They were eating on stage: L'c meal boxes! It contains one dish designed by each L'member, and hyde made a comment about how he liked the contents. He did enjoy it, but he thinks those four make a strange combination (he could be referring to L'Arc as a band as well). *
- There was an official photographer around, so maybe we will see pictures of this later.
- Hyde made some comments about the upcoming tour and a new song (a song that's not even announced yet): "PV for the new song was completed today. I haven't seen it yet, but I feel it will be amazing! I think we will perform this song at the first concert. I hope no one is angry at me for saying this." He also added he/they wanted to add more concert dates for this tour, but it was not possible because of venue issues. EDIT: There's few different translations of hyde's last line, and I'm not sure which is the correct one. It could also be: He apologized to people who don't have tickets and wished them luck in getting some with the additions. *
- As they were leaving, hyde said something about they having a date and next they would go to Shibuya 109 shopping mall. Then he took off his sunglasses and smiled as he left. (This sounds like a joke to get the fans running around Shibuya, but you never know. I saw no comments of anyone actually spotting them there, just saying.) *
- The entire appearance lasted approximately 15 minutes.
