This is the first Laruku song I ever heard; I downloaded the PV and was thrilled into giggles to see that the guy who was contemplating jumping off the building looked almost exactly like my brother! :) But, as for "Dive to Blue" itself, I think it was a great intro into the world of L'Arc-en-Ciel. Fun, bubbly, but always with that hidden edge, it showcases the guys at some of their best and is a terribly addictive listen to boot! I do enjoy a lot of Laruku's earlier works, and their modern songs are still catchy as well as moving, but "Dive to Blue" will always have a special place in my heart. (And how sweet to realize, at the end of the music video, that pretty Hyde and the others are there to "catch" that unnamed young man and save him, just like the falling cat!)
