( Korean+translations )

Current Mood: awake

If you came back in your next life as a worm and someone sprinkled calcium carbonate over the soil you were in how would you feel?
...yeah yeah yeah you'd feel effervescence, like your own little wormy spa!

Can worms survive in acid then?
Why don't you find out? Go get a worm and eat it and see if it's still alive when it comes out the other end.
But wouldn't it would be in pieces because you had to chew it?
You'd have to eat it whole then!

How do worms survive in the acidic soil?
You're a year 12, shouldn't you know? (Running joke that Year 12's are inferior to Year 13's)

Current Mood: annoyed

He likes to play Katamari Damacy.

yukihiro is the one who introduced tetsu to Neon Genesis Evangelion.

He used to be in Zi:Kill, then Optic Nerve, Die in Cries before joining L'Arc~en~Ciel.

The reason why he left Die in Cries is because they had a strict heavy metal rule. Some of his songs were rejected for not being metal enough.

He then went on to release them on L'Arc~en~Ciel ("trick" and "L'heure").

His side project is acid android.

Apparently his fat percentage is so low that you can't measure it.

He prefers cats over dogs.

When he goes out to eat with the other members of L'Arc~en~Ciel they leave out dishes that he must finish by himself.

Strangely his favourite food is McDonald's fish fillet, chocolate and Coca-cola.

He's a fan of Utada Hikaru and Avril Lavigne.

He was once molested on the train/subway.

He has a thing for right angles.

He has a recording studio at his house.

His favourite colours are red and black.

When members of acid android would come over to record he would start vacuuming immediately after they were done to get them to leave.

He would work for days on end without eating. Other members (acid android) would wonder when they were going to take a break to eat but didn't actually say anything and kept working without eating as well.

yukihiro doesn't drink alcohol.

His favourite season is winter as it isn't too hot.

He goes clothes shopping with tetsu.

When he buys clothes he buys two, one to wear and one to keep in case the first one gets damaged.

Current Music: Alex - Miss. Understand (feat. Simon Dominic)

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.

Original link

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
( Since I don't want to kill people's friends page )

Third member - tetsu aka banana man

Name: Ogawa Tetsuya
Birthday: 3 October 1969
Height: Short. About 168cm
Weight: Light
Blood Type: A
Birth Place: Shiga, Japan

Random Facts:

He's married to Sakai Ayana who is 16 years younger than him. The cuteness.

When in the shower, he washes his right hand first.

He keeps the toilet lid down.

He wasn't invited to hyde's wedding. (and he was the one who told hyde to get her phone number >_>)

tetsu claims that ken tricked him into learning the bass and ken denies this. tetsu says that ken suggested that he play the bass since he played guitar and their senpai who they hung out with played drums. tetsu asked if it was easier to play the bass and ken said yes. tetsu learned that a bass has 4 strings and thinking that it would be easier to play ordered one. He was very shocked at how big it was when it arrived.

tetsu found out his blood type when they were getting tested for drugs after sakura got caught.

He wishes he had a B blood type.

tetsu has supposedly said in August 1993 edition of Rock IT! that he likes kissing hyde, and because of the make up he would leave kiss marks on his face. He later on denies this in another interview. (I have the scans of the article, but I can't read it...)

tetsu grinds his teeth really loudly in his sleep.

He says his favourite colour is red, although he considers pink to be "light red".

He likes tall buildings and has a glasses fetish.

He is a DEAD END fanboy, to the extent of creating cover band in high school which played only DEAD END songs and he was happy that people said that DUNE was "more DEAD END than DEAD END."

tetsu collects rare basses and guitars. His collection contains over 100 basses and guitars and he has released a book on it, tetsu's Gear Closet.

tetsu is the only non smoking member of L'Arc~en~Ciel. He hates smoking to the extent that he carries an air purifier around with him.

tetsu endorses ESP basses. See here. But he does not restrict himself to 1 brand.

He has released a sort of biography, tetsugaku, which is a collection of interviews on various subjects.

Not according to popular fanbelief tetsu DID NOT name the band after a French movie.

He used to work part time at a shop in EST mall in Osaka. Because it still exists he didn't reveal the name of the shop.

tetsu and ken were childhood friends and it was ken who got tetsu into rock music.

Here he used to say that his favourite book was the Bible. It was probably written around the time of his elementary school graduation. It also has other ~~cute~~ weird stories and facts. So read it. :D

Young!tetsu has really cute handwriting. See here and here

tetsu and Nishikawa Takanori of T.M.Revolution were originally going to make a band together, but Takanori moved to Tokyo. They lost contact with each other and when they saw each other after they debuted they each believed that the other had forgotten about them. But now they're friends again. (This is a condensed version of the story)

tetsu has 2 sisters and he has said that he is not the eldest child, but he is the eldest son. -_-;;;

His favourite animes are the first Gundam series and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

tetsu and yukihiro met through mutual friends and quickly became game buddies and yukihiro introduced tetsu to Neon Genesis Evangelion.

There is a special line of tetsu Gundam figures. (I can't find the link, sorry.)

tetsu has modeled for Candy Stripper. See here and here

He loves Yazawa Ai's manga's. He has said that he wrote "TIGHTROPE" based on a scene in NANA.

Since it's getting a bit long I'll stop.
Is it obvious that he's my favourite member? XDDD

His favourite colours are silver and black.

His favourite animals are dolphins and cats.

For his appearance at L'Arcafe he dressed up as a fish, dolphin and cat.

For P'UNK~EN~CIEL he plays the drums.

Ever since this L'Arc~en~Ciel has paused during "Blurry Eyes" in memory of that incident. Although they have stopped doing this since sakura left.
