it seems that the limited tickets for FF preview was given away by the L'Arc fanclub and the most fans expected the band would turn out for a promotion. but it wasn't announced that there will be a live performance ! i read hyde was wearing a black hunting cap and a black suits with dark sunglasses, yukihiro tied his wavy hair at the back, wearing v-neck shirt, ken's wearing a black or brown suits with red guitar (LD-95?) and testu was sleeveless t-shirt and tartan checked skirt+pants with rubber-sole shoes and whitish colored bass. all the member were cheerful, especially tetsu was smiling all the way and threw a pick to the crowd.
