First Anniversary of L'Arc~en~Ciel Day in Honolulu, Hawaii

First Anniversary of L'Arc~en~Ciel Day in Honolulu, Hawaii
One year ago today, on May 31, 2012, thousands descended from all corners of the globe to the tropical paradise of Honolulu, Hawaii for a weekend that would be known as "Hawaii~en~Ciel". The weekend marked the end of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s 20th Anniversary World Tour, with shows on May 31st and June 1st.


http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a487/LaLa_Sukura/99d98556-18a2-4fc1-94d2-75b9fe45d85d_zps76b30990.jpg
The band’s concerts were held at Waikiki Shell, an outdoor venue located in Waikiki, a famous beach in Honolulu. Fans filled the streets of Waikiki, proudly sporting a wide range of L’Arc~en~Ciel memorabilia. Cielers, or people who are part of the band’s official fan club, “Le~Ciel FanClub”, showed off merchandise exclusively available to them. Fans stopped to admire and photograph the goods which were rarely seen outside of Japan.

http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a487/LaLa_Sukura/52171358-2bf4-4c31-8b55-23666c35222f_zps0c321f89.jpg
Excitement for the weekend was at a fever pitch even before the band’s concert began. A special announcement had fans rushing to get their hands on limited edition T-shirts at a secret shop, 88T's, which sold out within hours. The spectacle had the locals comparing the band to The Beatles due to the near-hysteria they had caused just by showing up in the city.

http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a487/LaLa_Sukura/e56b9472-84c7-466b-87b0-814a3e69e938_zpscdcd1c68.jpg
Before the concert started, a rainbow formed which arched in the background over Waikiki Shell, a symbolic moment for fans who regarded seeing L’Arc~en~Ciel live in concert as a magical moment. With the weather as beautiful as ever, the band gave a spectacular performance that wasn’t filled with fancy lights or props, but rather focused on the band, the music and the audience.

http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a487/LaLa_Sukura/4a377ca5-6306-4867-a0a4-90da33c41445_zps4045579a.jpg
Towards the end of the show, Promoter Tom Moffatt, Mayor Peter Carlisle and two natively-dressed beauties entered the stage. The mayor attempted to address the crowd in less-than-perfect Japanese, which provided a humorous moment, but when he showed gratitude to the band for choosing Hawaii as the last stop of their tour, he declared May 31st as "L'Arc~en~Ciel Day”. Mayor Carlisle explained that the band had made a great contribution to cultural activities, and built a bridge of friendship between Hawaii and Japan. After the band’s leader, tetsuya, was presented with an official statement and plaque, the band gathered and took a commemorative photo to celebrate the big news.
The concert came to a close when hyde began singing "Bye Bye", a song dedicated to a staff member who the band, shortly before taking the stage, discovered had died. The song was the person’s favorite song. With the pain still fresh, hyde broke down in tears while singing the song and could barely get the words out of his mouth as he choked up. The audience could feel the grief the band was experiencing, with many people crying alongside the band as well.
The following day was dedicated to Cielers, many of whom had traveled all the way from Japan to be part of the band’s final concert celebrating their 20th anniversary. That Sunday tetsuya rented out the Hard Rock Cafe, Honolulu for the evening and had dinner, autographs and a few tunes with his loyal fans, while ken had a golf outing with his fans. On June 1st, a special concert exclusively for Cielers was held.

http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a487/LaLa_Sukura/hrcafe_zps3eb35a85.jpg
Once again, the weather was as beautiful as ever and a rainbow arched over the concert venue. Those who couldn’t get tickets to the concert tried to watch from afar, not wanting to miss out on this special moment. The band performed its own set list and fan-requested songs as well. Even when they couldn’t remember the song by heart, they looked up the music and lyrics to give their fans what they wanted. What the band didn’t realize at the time was that they had already given their fans what they wanted and more: 20 years of music, the promise of many more years to come, and a sense of joy that only they could give them.
