Give me the information about the rainbow band.

Rainbow Band Rainbow Band, that is, L 'Arc ~ en ~ CIEL, was originally a French word and literally translated as "Bridge in the Air". In fact, it means rainbow, which is really ethereal and extraordinary ... its original meaning is "rainbow"

History of Rainbow Band

L'Arc~en~Ciel, established on 9 1, is about to enter its fifteenth year. Although they are not the top and most popular band in the current band craze, their musical history and achievements over the years just prove their strength and talent.

1996, two years after its major debut in 1994, the single "Xiao" released in July made its debut on the Oricon pop chart for the first time and became the fourth. In June of the same year, Flower, which was released at 5438+00, ranked fifth on the list, while Lie&1month. Truth also occupied the sixth place on the list as soon as it appeared; The song can reach 10, which not only proves that the song has been accepted and has a certain sales volume, but also the band has gradually emerged, which has been widely concerned by fans and the media, and its popularity has increased. Since its debut on June 5438+February, the album True has been ranked second in the Oricon album list, and climbed to 1 in the sixth week after its release (1June 5438+1October 27th, 997), setting a record of the best 10d for nine consecutive weeks. 1The single released since its resurrection in June 1997 can also reach the position of 10 in the popularity list of Oricon.

Rainbow first appeared

19 1 L'Arc~en~Ciel, which was founded in Osaka, didn't have its first major debut album Tierra until 1994. During this period, they continued to actively participate in various musical activities, such as holding live performances in Osaka and even attending Beijing (Tokyo), including live videos, CD singles and comprehensive CD "gimmicks". 1In April, 993, they released their first album Dune. Since then, they have been busy touring around. Although only a small range of singing, but their popularity has occupied a place in the band sound. 1994, the first album Tierra was released; The first single "Blurred Eyes" was also released on June 65438+1October 2 1 day in the same year, and the song was used as the theme song of the Japanese TV cartoon "D.N.A.2". Similarly, the second single [Bright Colors] was also regarded as ぐるぐ 1242799 by Japanese TV stations, and the C/S Glorious Years on the same disc was regarded as the ending song of しんドラ.

As for the third single, Summer Melancholy, it was used as the theme song at the end of the film by TBS's M-Navi. Although the songs of debut are always chosen as TV songs, I think they can be broadcast on TV often, but in fact those programs are only second-and third-tier programs with second-class ratings, and the ratings are just average. The songs have been broadcast on TV for a short time and have not received the effect of helping publicity. But they don't have outstanding makeup or extreme or gorgeous costumes, which is really difficult to impress the audience. Although L'Arc~en~Ciel's songs were selected as program songs by TV stations, they only appeared on TV once at that time. 1994, Hyde participated in the advertisement "xia"; They have never participated in TV programs or comprehensive programs; As for Asahi TV's pop music program "Music Station", it is also the second year after the launch of "Tierra"; Another popular music program, Fuji TV's Hey! Hey! Hey! It first appeared in1March, 998.

The formation of rainbow

Zhe's ambition is to form a professional band. Since graduating from high school, he has been working part-time, while going to live house to find like-minded band members. He first found Hyde and hit it off. 1990 Hyde, who just graduated from a design school in Osaka in the summer, usually sings with the band while working part-time. At that time, the band formed with high school students was called Jersaresmrod. At that time, Zhe was also looking for members to form a new band. Hyde, whom he met in live house, was just the ideal person he was looking for. Tetsuji invited him to form a band many times, but Hyde declined out of concern for other members. However, Zhe did not give up because of this. He also lobbied many times by telephone and sincerely invited Hyde to try to edit the band audition together. On the other hand, jersaresmrod, which was formed from high school, began to waver because of the problems of further studies and future among teammates; At first, everyone dreamed of becoming a professional band, but there were differences because of their future, taking office and continuing their studies. The biggest problem is that they can't assure their parents that they can earn money to support their families. Even renting a band room to practice and buying musical instruments every day costs a lot of money. Don't say full-time. Even if it is a part-time job, I often have to ask for leave because of the rehearsal before the live performance. Moreover, it is not easy to find a job that can accept their exaggerated hairstyles and costumes ... so many people gave up before they officially became professional bands, and Jersaresmrod was finally dissolved for these reasons.

Rainbow's efforts

Formed in 199 1, L'Arc~en~Ciel was originally composed of Zhe, Hyde, Hong and Perot. The four of them came together to play a band for the same goal-to become an excellent professional band. Live house's performance is like a stepping stone to fame, so every band performing in live house will cherish and strive to increase more fans. However, if you want to perform in live house, of course, the vocal cords used for audition are indispensable. Generally, bands will pre-record their own songs as audition tapes, and there are 6 or 7 songs such as "I am in pain" and "Nostalgia" in the audition tapes of L'Arc~. At the same time, they are busy taking photos for publicity and printing leaflets, composing music and writing.

On May 30th of the same year, L'Arc~, led by Zhe and Hyde, held its first live performance in Nanpu, Osaka. Only more than 200 fans came to enjoy the sound of the band that day. Although the number is small, it is an unforgettable memory for L'Arc~ who appeared on the same day. The songs performed are all public for the first time, and fans may not have heard of them. Moreover, Hyde is not good at MC, nor does he deliberately create an interesting atmosphere, but just takes them seriously. Eight songs lasted for 40 minutes, and this moment just filled the whole venue with their songs. Unfortunately, the band was unstable, HIRO and Perot quit early, and Ken and KINOMOTO SAKURA joined later.

1In April, 997, when the band was in full swing and entered the Tokyo market, KINOMOTO SAKURA was sentenced to two years in prison for possession of drugs and had to quit. Then the band's third-generation drummer Yukio joined the Rainbow Band.

Zhezi said with a smile that he was confident. He believes that this concert is only the first step of their success. He noticed that Hyde, who smiles at people at ordinary times or during practice, became very serious as soon as he took the stage. His enterprising and sincere efforts made him believe that L 'ARC would be accepted and recognized by more people.

Since its debut, L'Arc~ has always appeared in its own way, and you can feel their musical talent from their songs. Their unique personality and unwillingness to go with the flow are the differences between them and other bands. They have their own singing route and self-style. What attracts people's attention more is that the tone of each song is different, the range of creation and arrangement is also very wide, and the meanings in the lyrics are endless, with many fresh ideas. But it should be clarified again and again that they are not artists, and they don't like to show off their fancy, but only make their favorite music. They are just a band that loves fun music. All they ask is that their music can be recognized by everyone. As for private life, they are even more low-key and confidential. As for the media, they are on high alert to prevent journalists from making fearless reports or making random guesses, so as to keep the band a little mysterious and private. So things about L 'Arc can only be learned through interviews and reports, and the topic seems to be limited to questions and answers about music and song promotion. As for their real private life and things before their debut, they are rarely mentioned.

L' Arc ~ en ~ CIEL (Rainbow) has a history of 14 years since its establishment. It is an aircraft carrier band across Japanese pop and rock circles, setting a new record for countless Japanese music circles! Up to now, 58,000 concert tickets have been sold out in four minutes, and the single of 16 ORICON charts ranked third in Japan.

Since their first single "Flood of Tears" was released on 1992, it has attracted the attention of many fans. 1996 The album "True" was released, and the album sales exceeded one million. Since then, it has been out of control and spread all over the Japanese archipelago. After that, their continuous singles became frequent visitors to the charts. 1998, in the year-end list of ORICON, an authoritative Japanese pop music magazine, Rainbow Band actually had seven singles in the top 30, and in the same year, their records also exceeded100000. 1999 is the most brilliant year of the rainbow. On July 1 day, two albums, Ark and Ray, were released to Asia, with sales exceeding 2 million respectively. Then on August 22nd, Channel [V] also broadcast live the 99 Rainbow Grand Cross concert tour to Asia, and the name of Rainbow resounded throughout Asia. In 2000 and 200 1 year, when the Japanese record market began to decline, Rainbow Band, with its super charm, kept its record sales at a million levels and remained the leader of Japanese bands. 200 1, the band temporarily repaired and recharged, and each member's personal development has achieved good results, which also fully demonstrated the strong overall strength of the band. In 2003, under the expectation of many fans, the band resumed its activities and held 7 revival concerts in Yoyogi for 9 consecutive days. LIVE, representing the seven colors of the rainbow, blew a new movement of the rainbow. From that day on, the rainbow shone all over the world. In 2004, a ready steady go was widely known as the theme song of the theatrical version of the best-selling comic "The Alchemist of Steel". Sold more than 300,000 copies. The single C/W is an attempt to change the player's position. It was played by P'UNK~EN~CIEL [lead singer: Zhezi, guitar: Hyde, bass: Yukihiro, drummer: Ken], which was very popular among fans. Every single released later included P'UNK~EN~CIEL's tracks. Later album Smile used the world digital language X_X[ Smile] as the cover, and its lovely cover attracted the favor of many rainbow fans and non-rainbow fans, and was released in the United States at the same time. At the same time, the smile journey LIVE set foot on the American mainland. On July 3rd1day, 15000 American audiences enjoyed a musical victory banquet with Rainbow, and almost all the songs of Rainbow were sung by Americans present in Japanese. At the beginning of the new year in 2005, Rainbow released the 25th single "Kill Me", and continued to set a new record for the number one single in the ORICON chart on the day of release. In April of the same year, Rainbow's 26th single "New World" was released, which was the first challenge of band drummer yukihiro and was completed together with lead singer Hyde. The refreshing music was also set as the theme song of THE LIVE 2005 of the Japanese Baseball League, which was sung by many people including artists at the same time. At the same time, official website updated the great news of Hongfan in China and South Korea. Rainbow is about to land in China and South Korea, and the Asian tour concert named ASIAN LIVE 2005 is about to start, which makes all Asian rainbow fans excited. At the same time, on May 18, Rainbow's 27th single "Love Poetry" was released. Euphemistic melody and poetic words touched the hearts of thousands of rainbow fans, and it was once again on the ORICON list. Rainbow is about to experience the mysterious trip to Asia, but also released the latest album Awakening, which is also released simultaneously in Asia, and will carry out a series of publicity activities in Asia.
