This is a song included on the second album.

It features Maria as the protagonist and sings about love.

It begins at a slow tempo, then suddenly picks up speed, grows dramatically more intense, and finally slows down again, making for a dynamic track with strong contrasts.

A song whose unique eroticism is part of its appeal.

It’s included on the album “2012,” released in March 2012.

The lyrics, depicting self-exploration and inner conflict, are striking, and Yasu’s high-tone voice resonates deeply.

It portrays facing oneself reflected in the mirror, delivering a powerful emotional impact.

Its melancholic yet strong musical character is another highlight.

It might be the perfect track for when you’re feeling down or want to take a hard look at yourself.

Future Projection IIAcid Black Cherry

It’s Acid Black Cherry’s “Mirai Yosouzu II.” It’s a cover of Dreams Come True’s super-famous song, and the music video is packed with little Easter eggs everywhere, which makes it really fun.

It’s supposed to be a heart-wrenching love story, but the ABC members keep popping up here and there and you can’t stay focused.

By the way, the ending of the love story is based on a true story.

Acid Black Cherry covers Dreams Come True’s “Mirai Yosouzu II.” In the music video for this song, members of Acid Black Cherry appear in cosplay at key moments.

It doesn’t fit the MV’s storyline, which makes it amusing.

This song, sung by Acid Black Cherry—the solo project of yasu, the vocalist of Janne Da Arc—is a cover of the original by Sharam Q.

As he’s also the vocalist of a visual rock band, you can feel a sensual mood within the strength of his performance.

The frustration of not being able to honestly express the desire to not be separated comes through very clearly when you listen.
