Smile is the ninth album by L'Arc-en-Ciel, released on March 31, 2004. It was the band's first original studio album after a prolonged hiatus. Smile was later given a United States release by Tofu Records, for which all Japanese song titles received English translations. The song "Ready Steady Go" was used as the second opening for the Fullmetal Alchemist anime.
