Shibuya Seven Days concerts

After two and a half years, L’Arc-en-Ciel performed a series of seven concerts, entitled Shibuya Seven Days, in Tokyo in June 2003. During this event, the group announced that a new album would be released the following year. ” Ready Steady Go “, the group’s first single in more than three years, was released in February 2004. This song was used as an opening theme song for the Fullmetal Alchemist anime . The single topped the Oricon weekly singles charts. Additionally, a sample of this song was also used in a Nintendo DS game called Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan . The group subsequently released another single, ” Hitomi no Juunin “, in early March 2004. This was followed by the group’s album, Smile , on March 31. Shortly after, on June 2, the single ” Jiyuu e no Shoutai ” was the first to feature a song by P’unk-en-Ciel .
