■Comment From hyde
"Our first new song in approximately 2 years, "Sou Tennen Shoku", was written with the thoughts of creating an energetic, bright song in the image of a new world awakening, that would be fitting to mark the start of L'Arc-en-Ciel's 35th anniversary year.
In addition, I am greatly honored to be given the opportunity to perform for the first time at and headline SUMMER SONIC during its 25th anniversary year, in a year that is memorable for us both.
We intend bring excitement to the venue with a setlist full of hit songs on the day so please do look forward to it."
