I would have loved to have replied earlier but I was so very busy. Yes, I have to agree with you that Ryuichi sounds much better now than after LUNA SEA broke up, or even before that. I was pleasantly surprised with his vocals in the One Night Dejavu concert, particularly with the tracks "SLAVE" and "JESUS." I never really cared for the concerts they had promoting their last album LUNACY because Ryuichi's voice was so horribly nasal for the classic songs and I thought a LUNA SEA reunion after their breakup wouldn't be so satisfying because of his voice. (The PERIOD remakes were awful!) So yes, it was a great improvement. I think I noticed a difference from when he started his work with Tourbillon. I have NOT seen 70 no monogatari! I unfortunately am not in the fan club because he does not have an English version of his website. But yes, that does seem very impressive and I'm sure he pulled it off well.

I understand that some of people disagree with his voice since it is pop so it sounded weak or uncool,but I realized even rock vocalists or visualkei vocalists or whatever could even get what Ryuichi has achieved nowadays.To me he had revolutionized to be a better one,and I like it very much.So I would say right after I saw that 70 no monogatari,I changed my mind that even a genre didn't guaranteed that a singer is better in singing,hope you get what I mean.And Ryuichi showed off his tattoo on One Night Dejavu concert. Ryuichi sang micless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFWs2qXi0m8 also please hear his albums of his 97's-2004 solos and compare them with his evergreen album that he released on 2007,you could tell the difference in his voice :D good thing to see other people who like Luna Sea,I think Luna Sea is one of the best band in Japan,I like Luna Sea for about 11 years,oh man I feel old xD.I respect your opinion about Ryuichi though I kinda disagree with the last Heroine part,but I am not against you,and I am not Ryuichi’s fan,I tend to be Luna Sea fan in general,anyway I acknowledge through Luna Sea’s career and solos,I proud to say that Ryuichi indeed improved a lot now than he used too,his voice to me much more powerful,he already gotten rid that nasal voice,his voice is much more lighter but deep at the same time.You should see his concert of 70 no monogatari where he sang 70 songs in 4 1/2 hours straight,to me that concert really has open my eyes of his perfect ability in singing.Also he just held a concert (don’t know if this day or yesterday),where he sang micless.
