Just 2 more months to go before Gundam 00 goes on air and it has already been announced that L’Arc~en~Ciel will be performing the first opening theme for the new Gundam series. The song is titled “Daybreak’s Bell“ and its single will be released on October 10, around the same time as Gundam 00.
This is not the first time L’Arc~en~Ciel’s songs had been selected for an anime theme. They’ve also performed for Rurouni Kenshin’s 4th ending theme“The Fourth Avenue Cafe”, Full Metal Alchemist’s 2nd opening theme “Ready Steady Go”, the ending theme for Full Metal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa “Lost Heaven” and the opening for Blood+ “Season’s Call” was by HYDE, their lead singer (thanks to anemone for correcting me). The group also did the closing theme, “Spirits dreams inside”, for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

Thanks to Kensaku for bringing this to my attention. I had not found out about this when he told me. It’s good to have a friend from Japan

AWESOME!! I can’t wait for it to air. I saw trailers and hopefully it’s not another Gundam Wing. XD
One mistake though. L’arc en ciel didn’t do the opening for Blood+. Season’s call is HYDE’s (l’arc lead singer) solo project and doesn’t have anything to do with L’arc. I mean L’arc and HYDE are totally different band, only the singer is the same. L’arc also did both opening and ending theme for FMA movie “Conqueror of Shamballa”, GTO anime’s 1st opening “driver’s high”, and DNA^2 opening “blurry eyes”.
Yeah, it’s looking very much like Gundam Wing right now, hopefully the similarities stop there. I don’t think I can stand another Gundam Wing.
Oops, my mistake on Season’s Call. I read somewhere that they did the opening for Blood+. Let me correct that.
