Their debut single Blurry Eyes released in 1994 was used as the opening theme for the animated TV show DNA². In late 1996, L'Arc~en~Ciel gained worldwide attention for the first time after the release of their fourth album, True. This album includes the single the Fourth Avenue Cafe, which was used as an ending theme for the popular animated TV show Rurouni Kenshin. However, drummer sakura was arrested for drug possession and consequently all L'Arc~en~Ciel merchandise was removed from store shelves. The release of their single the Fourth Avenue Cafe was canceled and the song was immediately removed from the TV series.
sakura left the band in 1997, and former DIE IN CRIES drummer yukihiro replaced him for the REINCARNATION tour that year, subsequently serving as a support member for their first single after the incident, 虹 (Niji). Eventually, yukihiro officially joined the band and released the album HEART in 1998.
After the release of their eighth album REAL in 2000, L'Arc~en~Ciel went on a hiatus, releasing only compilation albums aside from their 2001 single, Spirit dreams inside -another dream-, the theme for the CG-animated Final Fantasy movie. During this time, each member engaged in solo projects: yukihiro with the band acid android, ken and former L'Arc~en~Ciel drummer sakura with SONS OF ALL PUSSYS, HYDE as a solo artist, and tetsu as TETSU69. On March 31st, 2004, L'Arc~en~Ciel released SMILE, their first album in four years.
On July 31st, 2004, L'Arc~en~Ciel performed their first concert in the United States at Otakon, a Japanese animation convention. They performed for an audience of more than 12,000 in Baltimore, Maryland.
They are best known outside of Japan for the song READY STEADY GO, which served as the second opening theme for the animated series Fullmetal Alchemist, and Link for the show's respective theatrical film. These songs earned them substantial Western popularity and attention to their album, SMILE, which was released in the United States by American label Tofu Records.
After more than a year since SMILE, the band released AWAKE on June 22nd, 2005, which was accompanied by ASIALIVE, L'Arc~en~Ciel's first tour to take them to South Korea and China, as well as the Japanese AWAKE tour.
The year 2006 marked the band's 15th anniversary since their debut. It was celebrated with the release of a box set of books titled L'Arc~en~Ciel BOX, re-releases of their first 15 singles along with the albums ark and ray, and the L'Anniversary live concerts held on November 25th and 26th. They also finally released the Fourth Avenue Cafe, the single canceled nearly 10 years prior, as part of their 15th anniversary celebrations.
The year 2007 saw increased activity for the band, with the release of four new singles, four DVD releases, the new album KISS, and the beginning of two back-to-back tours. The first was TOUR 2007-2008 THEATER OF KISS in Japan, followed by L'7 ～trans ASIA via PARIS～. The latter tour took them through Shanghai, Taiwan, Paris, Seoul, Hong Kong, and a return to Japan for shows in Tokyo and Osaka. At the end of this tour it was announced that the band would not tour again until their 20th anniversary in 2011. The band, however, says they're not on hiatus.
2008 saw the release of two new single from the band, DRINK IT DOWN released in April, and the double A-side NEXUS 4 / SHINE in August. Since then, HYDE has begun a new solo project with former OBLIVION DUST guitarist K.A.Z as VAMPS, with the release of a self-titled album and successful tours in Japan and the United States. With the legacy of 11 albums and 35 singles, L'Arc~en~Ciel continue to gather more and more fans throughout the world who eagerly await their return to renewed band activities.

L'Arc~en~Ciel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
素敵な瞬間だから
風に吹かれている 君を見ていたい
もう一人の僕が
ドアをノックしつづけている
見つめていたいから?
まだ目覚められない君を
あぁ 何もかも全て置いておいで
深い眠りの向こう側へ 今のうちに
雨上がりの空に (空に)
夏の鼓動が聞こえている
「もう 恐がらないでいいよ」
僕はノックしつづけている
あぁ 何もかも ただの時計仕掛
歯車の欠けた未来さえ 楽しめるよ
Lookin' for you
何処までも続く世界から
連れ出せたなら
Kissin' your mind
淡く揺られ 空の果てまで
たどり着けそう
街中にあふれそうな
この想い焦がれて
息も出来ないほど 君にこわれてる
もういいよ もういいよ
I'm always knocking on your door
もういいよ もういいよ
I'm always knocking on
Lookin' for you
何処までも続く世界から
連れ出せたなら
Kissin' your mind
手をつないだまま
堕ちてくのも悪くないね
街中にあふれそうな
この想い焦がれて
息もできないほど おぼれそう
虹色に輝く 素敵な瞬間だから
この風にきえないように
君をつかまえた
もういいよ もういいよ
I'm always knocking on your door
もういいよ もういいよ
I'm always
knocking on
Translation:
Shining in rainbow colors
This moment is so wonderful
I want to watch you as you are blown by the wind
My other self continues to knock on the door
Is it because I want to keep staring at you?
You who can't wake up yet
Ah, leave everything behind
And go beyond the deep sleep
The sound of summer's heartbeats can be heard
In the sky after the rain
"Don't be afraid anymore"
I keep knocking on the door
Ah, everything is just a clockwork
Even a future with a missing gear can be enjoyed
Looking for you
If I could take you out of this never-ending world
Kissing your mind
We could reach the end of the sky swaying gently
Thinking of overflowing with these feelings in the city
I'm being destroyed by my love for you so much that I can't even breathe
I'm done, I'm done
I'm always knocking on your door
Looking for you
If I could take you out of this never-ending world
Kissing your mind
It's not that bad to fall while holding hands
Thinking of overflowing with these feelings in the city
I'm drowning so much that I can't breathe
This moment, shining in rainbow colors
I'll hold onto you so you won't disappear in the wind
Ah, I'm done, I'm done
I'm always knocking on your door

今でも美しいって思えるってすごい事。昔のイケメンの映像って何処か古臭いけどそれを感じさせない。
