JONTE’☆MOANING, an internationally famous choreographer who previously worked with stars like Beyonce has taught ViViD how to dance!!

With the help of JONTE the members of ViViD learned the choreography to their latest single “REAL”.

3 ViViD members were not really used to dancing at first, but with JONTE’s exciting teaching they have learnt the moves.

During just a one hour long lesson they’ve mastered the choreography to the chorus of the song.

Check the details of the lesson in ViViD’s column “ViVi tten ja ne!!” in the new issue of “WHAT’s IN?” magazine that will be on July, 14th.

On this special stage brought to you by WOWOW, LUNA SEA in their 20th anniversary will perform for a TV program for the first time in 12 long years. It will be a very special episode of “a live program never seen before made by LUNA SEA.” The choice they made for this program was a shooting of a live without any audience in front of more than 10 cameras. They will be performing a set list of carefully selected songs from their previously released albums.

Moreover, LUNA SEA will perform their recent masterpiece “THE ONE -crash to create-,” the song that is said to be extremely difficult to air its full version on TV due to its long length of 23 minutes. This song sure shall be another reason you would want to tune in on this special
program. This performance will be the prologue of LUNA SEA's 7-day project titled "The End of Dream," announced on 5/29, the anniversary day of the band.

(May 31st, 2012, Honolulu, Hawaii) – Last day of huge successful world tour ends at Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, Hawaii. Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, Peter B. Carlisle appeared on the stage of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s final show of their world tour at Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, Hawaii to proclaim May 31, 2012 to be “L’Arc~en~Ciel DAY” in recognition of the group’s first Hawaii performance, in appreciation for enriching Honolulu cultural calendar and promoting the city to millions of fans across the globe, and for strengthening the bonds of friendship between Japan and Hawaii. 5,000 fans from all over the world shared this happy day with 4 members of the band.

Formed in 1991 in Osaka, Japan, L'Arc~en~Ciel has mesmerized crowds since the very beginning. No matter the year, with their unique melodies and edgy sounds, the band, responding to the zeitgeist, has had a hit song to match the times. Like all great musicians, the band's music has evolved over the years and has had a lasting influence. From their early work to their most recent offerings, which ranges from Goth rock to jangly guitar pop reminiscent of The Cure's lighter moments and U2-esque stadium anthems, L'Arc~en~Ciel has continually captured audiences worldwide.
L’Arc~en~Ciel 20th L'Anniversary WORLD TOUR 2012, visited Hong Kong, Bangkok, Shanghai, Taipei, New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Jakarta, Seoul, Yokohama, Osaka and Tokyo, attracted 450,000 people to their shows including headlining Madison Square Garden as a first Japanese Band,
just ended with the Honolulu show.

Online voting for the next world tour has already started on their official website.
http://www.larc-en-ciel.com/voter/

Fans are able to vote for the city they want L’Arc~en~Ciel to come to perform.
