L'arc en ciel, the very visual Japanese rock band, will hit Shanghai for a
concert on April 19.
Fans might still remember their striking performance when they toured the
city in 2005.
That was when 58,000 tickets sold out within four minutes.
Established in 1991, the name of the band is in French and means "The Bridge
in the Sky."
The band comprises, hyde (vocals), tetsu (bass), ken (guitar) and yukihiro
(drums).
Hyde, with delicate features, luxurious apparel and a high-pitched voice, is
the main attraction of the band. The daring androgynous beauty of Hyde is
another of the band's visual impacts.
Recently Hyde was married and has children. His style has become
appropriately more mature and masculine.
The highest price for a concert ticket is in the VIP area where it will cost
3,000 yuan (US$425) a seat, a sum the organizer is confident will be met.
