DAY 1 - THURSDAY 8th MAY 2008
Finally the departure for Pairs is arrived!!!
The day before the departure I haven’t slept very much, only from 3:00 A.M. to 5:00 A.M. But all in all I’m not tired.
At Milano Cadorna me and my sister met yume. We took Malpensa Express at 8:27 A.M. and we went to Milano Malpensa Airport where we met also Urz, kaggy and Asuka.
Our airplane was EasyJet Airline Company and fortunately we hadn’t problems.
I have never used low cost flights. I always travelled with big Airline Companies but I have to say that even if it was a low cost flight (cheap) the travel was nice and comfortable.
(even if I didn’t eat anything ^^’’ I love eating into airplane XD)
Flight was also fast! We arrived at Charles de Gaulles Airport 20 minutes before expected time!
From the airplane we could see Alps covered by snow (wonderful *___*) and then also Tour Eiffel and The Triomphe Ark.
Got off from the airplane we immediately went to collect baggage and our baggage arrived within only 1 minute *__*
I was in a panic for my baggage (>_<) but I was so surprised about the speed we got it! O_O
Maybe because where the airplane landed was a place all dedicated to EasyJet Airline Company and so baggage didn’t go to others ways ^^
Then we had to walk for a while to go to RER exit.
But before we stopped for a little lunch to a kiosk called PAUL.
I ate Sandwich Fraicheur and Croissant! Delicious!! *___*
When we finished eating we all went downstairs to get RER train.
But before we had to buy train tickets by some ticket vending machines.
First problem…. This kind of ticket vending machines accept only coins or credit cards! Now I say….Who has more than 20€ all in coins?!?!
At least make ticket vending machines that accept also paper money!! So I had to use credit card for only 2 tickets (8,20 € each for a total of 16,40 €) . Mah…(>_>)
We got RER train until Gare du Nord and the we took Line 5 until Porte du Pantin Wheel there was our Hotel (Hotel de Paris) very nera to Le Zenith Arena!
After check-in in Hotel we went to our rooms to relax a little. Our room is n° 210.
In the meantime at 2:30 P.M. L’Arc~en~Ciel were making a Press Conference at Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, a truly luxurious Paris Hotel!
“L’Arc~en~Ciel in Paris, Press conference, Thurday, 8th of may, 2008 - English + French version
http://www.orient-extreme.net/index.php?menu=musique&sub=artistes&article=1568
Then we went sightseeing, especially La Villette Park!
La Villette Park was so big! There were a lot of people also because these days is holiday in France.
We walked near a river and on his left we saw a big sphere called "Le Géode" (thehemispheric Movie Theater) covered with steel triangles which reflect the surrounding environment.
Really wonderful!! *___* I took a picture of it!
Moreover the weather was very hot with a burning Sun!
I didn’t expect such weather in Paris!! O__O
And finally we arrived at Le Zenith Arena!
Near Le Zenith Arena there were already some fans camped, few to tell the truth.
After some hours we met botan with his mother. They informed us that behind Le Zenith (backstage) there was Laruku staff. So we went there immediately ^^
There were a lot of silver tapes!!! *____* We got them all going also into the hedges XD
In the meantime Laruku staff was trying also fire effects and then also あなたwhite feathers *___*
They made fly them with a big fan and white feathers start flying and went near us!!
So we were able to get many soft white feathers, too!! *___*
Laruku staff looked at us amused ^^ They also smiled to us!
A member of the staff also indicated us and said “Yes” with his head many times ^^
They were very kind because they allowed us to stay and look and we were also able to take some photos and videos *___*
Here some photos made by me ^^
Also a Japanese girl went near backstage to take photos and we gave her a silver tape and a white feather ^^
We also listened to “Killing Me”!!! *___*
Then we also met a Japanese boy and a Japanese girl who came from England (they live in England for study) and so we talked with them.
Always near the backstage we met DDちゃん (a Dutch girl), her mother and BEAUくん.
After about 2 hours backstage rehearsal ended.
It was a very nice and special time!! I amused myself very much!! XD
We came back to the Hotel Wheel we met others Italian fans (federica and his friends)
I, my sister, yume and kaggy went to buy dinner (pizza) and then we all ate pizza together in our room talking all the night *____*
DAY 2 - FRIDAY 9th MAY 2008
It‘s the day of the concert!!!!!!!!
Alarm clock at 6:30 A.M.
At about 7:15 A.M. we went to breakfast.
Ended breakfast we came back in our rooms wearing our clothes for the concert.
At 9:00 A.M. we were ready to go to Le Zenith Arena!
I wear black jeans, h.Naoto [Jelly] T-Shirt black with a white skull and crossbones and black shoes.
I thought to find already a lot of fans, instead fortunate there were few (lot of fans will arrive only some hour later).
So me and yume were able to go buying something to eat for lunch in a little supermarket near our Hotel.
When we came back at Le Zenith we met other Italian fans.
We spent our time playing, talking and taking photos and videos ^^
At late morning Le Zenith staff gives us information about entrances.
To be noticed….Information were in different languages (French, English, German, Italian and Japanese) but to hear something you had to leave your place and go very near the staff.
At least they could use a megaphone =___=
At the beginning of the afternoon Le Zenith staff came back with new information!
All fans stand up and…..Information were completely different from the ones of the morning!!! O__O
Moreover now there were lot of fans and so it was rather impossible to understand something.
Well, the result was that we had to change our position and go to n°6 entrance when we already were to the opposite side near cash entrance in a good position!! Really awful! @_@
We also lost some of our friends but fortunately (thanks to our Italian flags and mobile phones) we met all again ^_^v Moreover we also got a good position near entrance n° 6 barrier *___*
We also met some Japanese fans who had digitick tickets.
While we’re waiting for doors opening, Laruku are making rehersal inside Le Zenith Arena!!
We can listen to some songs like “Jyojyoushi” and “New World” (songs that unfortunately they won’t play during live T__T - see following report).
Our group starts singing Laruku songs and Japanese fans near us are surprised and they say: “Sugoi!! Sugoii!!” XD
Last hours of waiting are the worst (>_<)
For someone doors opening should be at 5:30 P.M. …..but where?!?!? >__>
Le Zenith staff informed Chat doors opening sold be at 6:00 P.M. even if from 3:00 P.M. we saw LE-CIEL members go inside a special area to go to get good places inside Le Zenith Arena. Instead we had to wait more and more under a burning Sun….
It’s 6:00 P.M. but doors are still closed T___T We cannot wait anymore !!! (>_<)
All fans became to scream “L’Arc-en-Ciel!! L’Arc-en-Ciel!! L’Arc-en-Ciel!!” and L’Arc-en-Ciel staff starts shooting with cameras and taking photos to fans!
L’Arc-en-Ciel staff also comes near us taking photos and so I show them my BANANA ^^ (see the following picture ^^)
Le Zenith staff put on the barriers some papers where we can read to prepare digitick ticket for a fast scanning of the barcode.
And finally at 6:30 P.M. doors open!!!!!!!!! \°o°/
Fans start pushing @_@ and as always there are so rude people (>_<)
They don’t think that they can hurt with their behaviour and especially that it can be dangerous!
Entrance n°6 was guarded by a big man! It seemed our queue also slowed down gradually (>_<) while in others entrances fans entered fast!
So I screamed to him “Hurry up!!” è_è#“ It was really impossible to wait anymore!! (>_<)
When we arrived just near the entrance the big man said to me and to my sister to enter before 4 fans *____*
So I forgave him XD Thank you so much big man!! ^x^/
We immediately entered into Le Zenith Arena ignoring goods stands!!!
In that moment goods were the last of our thoughts ^^
Inside Le Zenith Arena we didn’t know where to stay O__O There were a lot of empty seats!!
(Lots of fans stopped for buying goods, careless of getting first a good seat and then going to buy goods ^^).
Some seats were reserved and moreover I and my sister lost all our friends Q_Q
Suddenly we found kaggy and the also federica and thanks to mobile phone we also found the rest of our friends!
We were relieved! All a row was filled by us ^_^v We were all together near the stage (ken‘s side)!!!
Got our seats, me and kaggy went to buy goods. I bought everything except poster.
Meanwhile Le Zenith Arena became more and more full of fans! Only few seats are empty.
Before the concert we made ‘Ola!’ and lot of arms made a wonderful wave.
Then clapping all our hands and stamped our feet we also called with loud voice ““L’Arc-en-Ciel!! L’Arc-en-Ciel! L’Arc-en-Ciel!!“ many times! The view was wonderful!!
So our voices reached L’Arc-en-Ciel in their dressing room ‘cause dressing room’s door was opened!!! *___*
Stage was covered by a white sheet and on both sides there are flags with L’7 logo.
There are also cameras on both sides of the stage, one camera behind standing and also staff with handy cameras among seat audience.
At 20:10 lights inside Le Zenith Arena turn off!!! *______*
We all stand up and screams of joy fill Le Zenith Arena!!!
On the white sheet the image of the Earth appears with WELCOME written in different languages.
The languages of the countries visited by L’7 Tour: Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan and France.
Afterwards the names of the members appears welcomed with big screams of joy!!!!!

hyde had two say twice “dire ça” (“Say this”) becuae the first time he made a mistake in pronunciation. Infact he made a sign of regret with his head but always smiling ^^
hyde -> “Pour finir, pour finir, chantez avec moi!” (“To end, to end, sing with me!”)
Fans screams of joy!!
Meanwhile hyde reads his last sentences written on a paper put on the amplifier memorizing them.
hyde -> “Unissons nous aux delà des frontieres” (“Meet us beyond borders”)
hyde -> “Vous voulez, vous voluez bien chanter” (“Do you want, do you want to sing”)
hyde smiles again and throws a kiss *___*
hyde -> “Je t’aime France!” (“I love you France!”)
throws a kiss again *__*
hyde -> “C’est la dernière chanson” (“It’s the last song”)
Melody of violins starts introducing the last song…
20. あなた
A beam of blue lights wraps hyde who starts singing one of my favourite L’Arc-en-ciel songs!
I love あなた!!!We all start singing with hyde while feelings and sweetness of this song go straight to all our Hearts!
Among the audience some glow lights appear.
Also my sister and I have slow lights. They change colour and they are like stars *___*
hyde -> modo kashisa ni jama o sarete umaku ienai kedo
tatoe owari ga nai to shite mo aruite yukeru yo
here hyde opens his arms and let us sing twice while lot of white feathers fly on the stage!!
x2 *mune ni itsu no hi ni mo kagayaku
anata ga iru kara
namida kare hatete mo taisetsu na
anata ga iru kara
Fans chorus is so GREAT!!! Really touching!!! Wonderful!!! *___*
When the last song ends….
hyde -> "Merci! Merci France! Merci beaucoup!" (“Thank you! Thank you France! Thank you very much!”)
hyde -> “Thank you! ありがとう!”
ken -> tetsu -> hyde -> yukihiro leave the stage and on background “Book Of Days” of Enya starts.

When I left Le Zenith Arena outside there were some members of L’Arc-en-Ciel staff with cameras.
One of them was the boy who was in the backstage yesterday so I aksed him to give some presents to hyde and L’Arc-en-Ciel *__*
He said “はい!” so I gave him my presents for hyde and L’Arc-en-Ciel!
A flower bag with a 天使DOLL and a letter in Japanese language written by me for hyde
a A4 paper with rainbow colours Wheel I wrote alias with rainbow colours:
L’Arc~en~Ciel
ようこそヨーロッパへ♪
君達が大好き☆

ITALIAN fans
and then I gave him Italian flag for L’Arc-en-Ciel ^^
I said him "ありがとう!!本当にありがとうございます!!" and he was happy to help me *__*
He also shooted us with camera!!! *___*
I also took a photo of him with my presents ^^
While we were walking we met some people with L’Arc-en-Ciel posters.
I bought one and now he’s in my bedroom *__*
At the end we went to a fountain, meeting place of mixi community friends.
Here I could meet やかちゃん and others members of mixi community!
