L’Arc~en~Ciel
ZERO DAY LIVE LE-CIEL 2003
Translated by: Duo (hyde_haido@hotmail.com)

With regards to costumes:
hyde: White h. NAOTO sleeveless shirt, black pants, almost the same as what he wore on CDTV. His hair was shorter.
Tetsu: Black sleeveless shirt, black pants that looked like what he wore in 2000 live.
Ken: He wore all white. His hair was tea colored (I just translated directly)
Yukkie: Nig scarf on the head (bandana?), black t-shirt under a white t-shirt. Black pants.
~Opening~
19.17pm
Different colored lights shone. Songs similar to that of SKA’s were played for a while, after which, L'Arc came on stage.
~Promised Land~
As always, live Version had a very fast feel. In the CD, hyde said some English words at the start of the song, but too bad, I didn’t catch them as they were unclear. There was not much movement on stage. hyde ran for a drink during the song (the part where he didn’t have to sing) 
~birth!~
As the second song started, Tetsu ran on stage (presumably there was some platform). After Tetsu came down from the stage, hyde went up there. When Hyde sang “REALISE!”, he raised his hand up into the air for a few times. During the music part of the song (ok..this sounds a bit weird..you get what I mean right?), hyde did not move much and looked as if he had nothing to do. Perhaps it was because he didn’t have anything to hold in his hands.
~HEAVEN’S DRIVE~
Hyde picked up his guitar and during the music part, he went over to Tetsu and the two of them looked happy together. Tetsu threw his pick, which sailed through the air in a perfect shape of an arc.
MC1 (by hyde)
YEAH! Konbanwa! L'Arc en Ciel desu L'Arc en Ciel desu Hai, we’ve let you all wait for so long already (not very accurate here) Are you happy? Are you happy? [change guitar] It is very hot Do you know this person? [points to the back] YUKKIE! [looks at yuki] TE CHAN! [looks at tetsu] KEN CHAN! [looks at ken] HYDE [smiles] Do you all still remember us? Do you all still remember us? How great [runs for a drink and throws his bottle down (to the audience I presume) Isn't it very hot? In that case, please listen to the next song SPIRIT DREAMS INSIDE
~Spirit Dreams Inside~
(it is unsure whether hyde sang this in English or Japanese because both reports gave different information) Ken slowly showed his own style.
~Lose control~
Everyone did not move much, but they looked very handsome. Hyde was wearing his trademark expression and seemed very confident of his lyrics.
~Blurry Eyes~ (first half)
The usual item: hyde came on with a whistle. hyde twirled the whistle by its string very happily. When he threw the whistle, the audience thought he was going to throw it at them. However, it landed behind Ken.
During the music part, hyde ran for a drink backstage, then sat in front of Yukkie’s drum set and clapped his hands in time to the music. Half way through the song, he suddenly entered MC.
MC2 (by Tetsu)
Thin silver strips were blown and scattered by a fan behind (Tetsu stood before the fan and looked as if it was very fun). YEAH! What to say? Long time no see! (ok..so this is broken English) It is very hot! Atsuhanastuitai Do you want to continue listening? How should we do it? It has been quite some time No problem? [looks at hyde] Do you still want to listen? Ok then, let’s go on.
~Blurry Eyes~ (second half)
Hyde picked up the whistle which had landed at the wrong place and threw it at the crowd. This time, he made sure he threw it right.
~winterfall~
As this song was unexpected, there was an unbelievable feeling when the song started. I feel that listening to winter fall in a live house is amazing, especially under such hot conditions. No one moved much and hyde went for a drink several times.
~shinjistu do gensou do~
Tetsu changed his bass to that of a wood colored one. During the opening of the song, hyde made some weird movements with his hands…it is rather hard to describe. Ken smoked while he played his guitar. hyde stuffed his hands into his pockets when he sang. Kawaii! The big fan blew at hyde’s clothes.
MC3 (by ken)
Haiz..etto.. all of you here are members of LE-CIEL? Have you ever thought of quitting the club? Are you still very persistent? We are too. Ahh…who have you all been listening to during the period when we stopped work? 175R something? (smiles) etto, there are times when I cant understand. Perhaps it is because there are times when I do not understand. (smiles) why did it become such normal talk? Everyone, are you all usually free? Next up, is a long awaited genki song.
~Driver’s High~
Tetsu changed his bass back to the red one. Since it was a genki song, everyone started moving. hyde went on to the stage first, followed by Tetsu, who walked to the center. A big glass ball appeared above the stage. (the type that reflects light) did they take this from the sets? (smiles) during the music part, hyde ran for a drink again.
When he said” next up is the last song”, hyde grabbed the microphone with both hands and jumped off the loud speaker.
~Stay Away~
Before starting, Tetsu seemed very mindful of the silver strips and therefore rolled them up. (sorry, I cant understand this part). Hyde did the “monkey+shaking hips” dance (the one he did in the pv). He even crawled??(not very sure) to where Yukkie’s drums were. All in all, hyde made a lot of movements here.
~Shout at the Devil~
Ken ran on stage while hyde came down from the stage. Hyde was very near the audience. Though he was stopped by the staff, he still went very near the crowd. Who knows, there might be people who actually touched hyde. Even after he went back on stage, hyde still bent his body forward towards the crowd.
MC4 (by hyde)
YEAH! Ah…happy? Just now, I ate bentou, but I feel as if it hasn’t been working (not sure..writer asked us to refer to the original jap words: satsukikara….) This just goes to show that I am not used to live. This is nothing worth worrying about..it is alright (smiles shyly) Today, I can see many of those whom I have not seen for a long time and I am very happy for that. L'Arc en Ciel means niji in Japanese…niji doesn’t mean two o’clock. Next, please enjoy niji.
~Niji~
This must be the song in which hyde put in a lot of feelings. After he finished the song, hyde threw his bottle of mineral water to the crowd. Ken, hyde, Yukkie and Tetsu then left the stage respectively. Yukkie and Tetsu waved at the audience. The end. PM 20:20.
PM 20:30
After a break of ten minutes, everyone returned on stage. Ken Tetsu hyde and Yukkie entered respectively. Tetsu had a change of clothes. He wore a t-shirt this time. Tetsu had a banana each in both hands. He ran about happily and finally threw the bananas at the crowd. Ken changed his guitar to a red one. This was the first time he changed his instrument. Tetsu changed his bass to a blue-green one.
MC5 (by hyde)
Konbanwa! L'Arc en Ciel desu Etto, we had a rehearsal today. Though it has ended now (smiles). At first we thought everything would turn out fine, however, it was horrible at the beginning. Suddenly we were faced with all the old songs… somehow we didn’t understand anymore. Then we listened to the cd. After listening to the cd once, we felt it was going to be fine.
(everyone below was screaming for Yukkie to speak)
“Say something?” Yukkie didn’t agree..neither did he object. Assuming Yukkie agreed, hyde said “ Then let Yukkie say something” and held the microphone out for Yukkie)
Thank you. Long time no see Actually I am rather surprised at how hot the stage is, didn’t expect the heat at all. But I will do my best, please give us your full support. (the microphone is still aimed at Yukkie) etto (smiles) Why are you all so difficult? What does it seem like? Like having sex for the first time? Keep feeling that it isn’t enough. Next, please listen to a sweet song, HONEY
(while hyde was talking, tetsu ran over to Yukkie and said something to him.)
~Honey~
Hyde sang sweetly, just like the title. Though it was not a summer day, but there was a feel of summer days.
MC6 (by hyde)
Ai…do I still have to talk? (looks around) In that case, please listen to the last song (fans: E?) etto, it is song with a different feel The last one already (after that..hyde seemed to be challenging ken to guitar..not very clear.) Ah…I don’t really understand. What should I do? (runs for a drink) ok, let’s start! DIVE TO BLUE!
~DIVE TO BLUE~
everyone moved quite a lot. During the music part, hyde ran for a drink again. Ken went close to the audience. It was a really nice feeling! Everyone clapped in time to the music and was very happy. Even the staff joined in.
~ENDING~
Ken threw some rod like un-identified object towards the crowd and left the stage.
hyde: see you next time!
(throws the rest of his water to the crowd and left)
(Yukkie left)
Tetsu: See you next time!
(left after throwing his pick to the crowd)
PM 20:45
