On the Matter of Piercings & Fabricated Dancing:

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Okay, so it made its appearance on The Ark at last, and now, I think it is time for that thing we like to call fangirling discussion.

. . . Thoughts? Reactions? Love it? Hate it? Can't make up your mind?

Might as well say it. XD


Item #2: Aside from that, I am looking for that video that proved L'Arc~en~Ciel didn't do the dancing in their "Stay Away" PV. Does anyone know where it is? I saw it on YubeTube once, although I don't remember the link. (Thought I'd ask and crush two birds with one stone, hee.)

I think nipple piercings are very yuck T_T I would have preferred if he hadn't had done it.

When I think about it in my mind, he looks weird with them. Like.. his body is so...clean, and the piecings just seem out of place.

Though, I wonder if he told Megumi beforehand that he was getting it done, or if he just came home one day like "Hey honey, look what I just got!"

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Oh, I imagine she had to have known. If news has been floating around for a while now, it had to have reached her ears even if he didn't specifically say anything (although I'm sure he did). XD

Nipple ring... LOVE IT!

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Alright! :D

[aetheristic.livejournal.com]

On the "best group video" thing they actually say it wasn't them. Is that what you were thinking about?

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Nah, there was an interview with Hyde and Tetsu where they showed making of footage, and there were four dancers in their places with green screen masks on their heads. That's what I'm looking for. XD

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

I don't like them as a rule either, but as you said: Hyde can make anything look hawt, can he not? XD

[itsbekkitoyou.livejournal.com]

*giggle*

i haven't seen his nipples pierced yet, but its funny reading about it. not exactly fond of it but i applaud guys when they do it. XD my friend got it done but ended up becoming a problem so now he took them out.

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Oh man. How did they become a problem?

[msclairvoyant.livejournal.com]

Love the nipple rings. But you already knew that. xD

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Of course I did. XD

[lovesetfire.livejournal.com]

I'm a little surprised he got it done, but I'll have to see them to have a real opinion. So, if...y'know, they want to have a press conference to unveil it, I'm totally okay with that. >D

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

So, if...y'know, they want to have a press conference to unveil it, I'm totally okay with that. >D

*LAUGHS* Oh yeah, I have to sincerely agree with this. ;-D

[mitsuchan.livejournal.com]

I really don't know what to say regarding the piercings, I'm surprisingly ambivalent... though my train of thought is somewhat like, "doesn't he know it can deaden sensation!?" and then that makes me wonder if he gets much nipple play. Hah. ~_~ (The idea of megumi playing with hyde's nipples CRACKS ME UP though. "they're like milkduds!" ... Yes.)
btw re: item #2 XB If I recall correctly, I read in an interview that even though professional dancers and blue-screen techniques were utilized, they still had to learn and perform the dance (As hyde complained muchly about it, haha!) It's pretty obvious that is CGed though I imagine it'd be much easier to superimpose if they went through the motions, too. Seems to imply the footage in the PV is a combination thereof of the pros and our boys. (Though trust me, as much as hyde proclaims to be a dancer, I don't think for one minute the really really impressive stuff shown is him XD)

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Lawd, you provide me with endless laughs, Mitsu! (Y'know, I wondered if it was possible that piercing them actually deadens sensual instead of heightening it. Or if it's different for different people.)

Dude, that makes me want to see them dancing now even more. :O

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

If he ever shows them off. SHOW THEM OFF, HYDE. >;-D

[michan-muchi.livejournal.com]

Getting his milk duds pierced and making such funny and dorky comment about it just makes me want to pull them, a lot!

[sakurazawa.livejournal.com]

I'm withholding any statements until I see the piercings. I bet they'll be cute, though.. Not that my opinion matters to him, haha.

[chachabear.livejournal.com]

Love the piercings...

[pretentioustfu.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[4am-secret.livejournal.com]

I know there's a Stay Away behind the scenes thing that was part of Chronicle 2, could that be it? I tried to find it on YouTube and DailyMotion, but no luck :/ I know I've got it, though, if you want me to upload it when I have time so you can see if that's it?

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

I don't know if was shown there or not. It was, however, definitely in an interview with Hyde and Tetsu where they showed clips of the dancers, four of which had green screen caps on their heads and they stood in the places of the four members.

[kadclow.livejournal.com]

no, I have the chronicle 2 video and what you are looking for is not in there.

[gakkuhai.livejournal.com]

LOVE his piercings! He's already got a tattoo so he's just being even more his "bad boy" self. ^.~ Piercings just make nipple play with boys more fun x3

[pretentioustfu.livejournal.com]

Love the piercings, love the thought of Gackt teasing them. . . ^_^

[mykelty.livejournal.com]

maybe this file is what you're looking for?

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Ah, nah, that wasn't it. They are showing "Stay Away" footage, though. Is it just the PV or is there making of stuff, too?

[mykelty.livejournal.com]

aah, no making, only talks about that the dances were made not by laruku...
so i want video with making too... if i find it on youtube, i'll extract it and convert ^^

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Ooh, if you find it, lemme know. I'm probably going to do a search and see if it turns up since there's been no luck elsewhere. ;-/

[tsukikei.livejournal.com]

... Aw, do you have that file? Would you mind to upload it anyway? :3

It looks veeery cute. :D:D

[mykelty.livejournal.com]

here it is ^^

[tsukikei.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you! :D

[lintwhite.livejournal.com]

I think it's hilarious, personally.

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Your icon makes me LAUGH. Is there a story behind it? XD

(And can I yoink your two Seventh Heaven icons there? I love them.)

[lintwhite.livejournal.com]

XDDDD When I was screencapping the Seventh Heaven PV for icons, that one...came out a little funny and that was the first thing that came to mind. Thus, I had to make an icon of it. :D

Sure! They're actually part of a set of icons that I have yet to put up on my icon journal (LOL, I'm so lazy), so yoink away!

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

LOL, that's too funny. ;-D (It really does look kind of odd, especially because of his expression and the angle of his head. o.O)

Ooh, a set? You need to post them! Immediately! (And notify me! :D)

[lintwhite.livejournal.com]

i no i shoold right?

i'm gonna do it sonn don't worry

[celestialshade.livejournal.com]

Nah can't say I'm a big fan of them personally, especially since he got both done. Maybe if he'd only got one that would've been better but nipple piercings just don't do it for me.

Plus, if he'd got them done when he was younger maybe I wouldn't have been put off quite as much cause now all I can think is 'mid-life crisis', although he does get more lee way because of his rockstar status. But maybe if I see them I'll change my mind!:D

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

You know, I said the same thing in one of my posts. Hyde just seems a little on the late side getting his nipples pierced now. Maybe if he had them done in his twenties, I wouldn't think anything of it, but he's 38. And yeah, it's a little odd. XD

But, hey, a bet's a bet, so that makes it different and I find it more amusing and cute than anything. ;-D

[tsukikei.livejournal.com]

LOVE IT! :D:D Although I'm quite surprised he actually did it. I mean, it was a bet.. XD

[omghydeme.livejournal.com]

I was kinda grossed out at first, since I don't typically like them. But I'm sure Hyde will be able to pull them off. I'm waiting till I see them before I form an opinion. XD

[dream-berry.livejournal.com]

My first thought was only OUCH! XD ^^ I don't really have an opinion either way. If it was something he wanted to do, then more power to him ^___^

Btw, did you get my reply to your email? I'm sorry that it wasn't very helpful...

[ranaeressea.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I got it. I just haven't gotten around to checking out the site you mentioned and seeing how it worked. (And thanks for the info! I was going to look into it this weekend. :D)

[dream-berry.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you got my email. I've been having trouble recently with people not getting my emails so I just wanted to make sure you got it. ^____^

[chibi-chibi-cha.livejournal.com]

i was a bit shocked at first when i heard and really hoped he hadnt, but this is hyde and he can make anything hot (as people have already said) i really want to see and then decide on whether i like them lol.

[tristessa-326.livejournal.com]

OK... so, first reaction, HE DID WHAT?! Then, i read his comment about it and, although I don't like nipple piercings very much (and I'm a little suspicious of the middle-age crisis XD) I found it too cute to hold a grudge XD And it's Hyde, he could pull anything off and still look sexy as hell! Can't wait to see them though, because that means half-naked Hyde XD

[the-girl-i-hate.livejournal.com]

well, i'm a big fan of piercings and tattoos, and i'm a big fan of Hyde, so this just made my day =]]

[mumyou-nanashi.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, it's a little late and you might've probably gotten your hands on this already. :D

(OH. this is my first post EVAR.)

Anyway, here it is!
