Japan (1991 – present)
Formed in 1991, L’Arc～en～Ciel is one of the most popular rock bands from Japan. The band consists of vocalist hyde, leader and bassist tetsuya, guitarist ken, and drummer yukihiro, who replaced drummer sakura in 1997. From their beginnings in Osaka, Japan, they previously included guitarist hiro and drummer pero. All four members are established composers which adds variety to their catalog of songs. Their music ranges from ballads, to hard rock, to light pop-rock tunes.
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.

'Many other rare articles, such as bass scores written by tetsuya himself, have been included as well!' Oh jesus christ O___O I hope it includes bass scores from DUNE to True, since DOREMI did those band scores and as anyone that frequents the jrock tabs comm on LJ knows, I rage at those because DOREMI sucks XD So inaccurate! Sony Mags is loads better, but that's something else for another day <__< Wait, now that I read the website salatinada put up, the scores that will be put up are ones that Sony Mags already did in their band scores, so they're already 100% accurate D: Dammit, I was hoping it'd be earlier stuff. DAMN YOU TETSUYA! Anyway, I trust Rittor anyway, so I'm sure it'll be a great book :D Ima have to pre-order it soon
