Since I'm providing these goods for direct download (right click to save the file), my server's bandwidth is what will suffer as a result. Just a quick reminder before you start leeching:
1. Download one file at a time. This prevents the server from crashing as a result of too many simultaneous downloads.
2. Support L'Arc~en~Ciel by buying their music. Under law, you're required to delete these files within 24 hours. Don't blame me if the coppers come after you D;
If the bandwidth overloads, I'll have to take this section down and this site will [temporarily] die for the 137th time D; I don't expect that to happen anytime soon though. SO ENJOY THE DOWNLOAD SPEED and lack of waiting time 8D

review
MY HERAT DRAWS A DREAM. This song is gorgeous, uplifting, magical, amazing, and so on --- the positive adjectives will not end. If you want to compare it to other Laruku songs, I'd say it's somewhat similar to twinkle, twinkle (no wonder, it's also composed by the genius Ken). Maybe even throw White Feathers in there for comparison. BUT IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, IT HAS NO TRUE COMPARISON. MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM (I'm keeping it in all caps because that's how I like it, and that's how the official site writes it and leikomg I'm such a nerd I follow the official site song titles letter-by-letter lololololsomg) starts off, Hyde's voice gentle and soothing... then there's some turmoil, awesome drumming... AND THEN IT EXPLODES INTO A MAGICAL FLYING CHORUS. Clouds, flying, wind, the sky, angel wings, feathers, Hyde looking magical and flying around rike an anjeirz: that's what I think of when I hear that chorus. Hyde also pulls in some falsetto, of course, his signature falsetto; and whoa, this man's voice is still clear as ever. CLEAR AS THE SKY WHICH I THINK OF WHEN I HEAR THAT CHORUS. And then Hyde says 'OH!' in such a great way afterwards. SUCH A GREAT WAY. OKOK, I'm seriously rambling here. Anyway, this song is harmonic and beautiful; it clears the mind, it lifts the spirit. But the strongest feeling I get from listening to it is hope, the innocent voice telling you never to give up no matter how difficult things are -- and that's the purest and most desirable feeling of all. <-- OMGOSH SAILAA MOON MOMENT, GUYS.The B-Side is Feeling Fine 2007, P'unk~en~Ciel's remake of Feeling Fine from the Smile album. I haven't thoroughly enjoyed any P'unk~en~Ciel songs after Milky Way (which I actually preferred over the original). This one's not so bad; there's more focus on the repetitive clapping noises, with the grunge guitar & drums joining in as well. Sadly, though, the thing that I loved most about the original Feeling Fine was Hyde's deep voice, and that's something Tetsu can't match. Hyde has a guitar solo in this one, though 8D BADASS. Aside from that, nothing too special about this one. Maybe it'll grow on me? OR I'LL JUST IGNORE IT AND LISTEN TO MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM NONSTOP.

If you want to say how much love/hate any of the songs, then just... leave a comment here! Also, if you'd like to ask something to be reuploaded - or if you want to request anything (I have many Laruku and Hyde music and videos), then drop a line also.
