Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Acid Black Cherry, which began in 2007 as the solo project of yasu, the vocalist of the rock band Janne Da Arc.

With story-driven concepts centered around “ero” (eroticism) and yasu’s captivating beauty, the project has won over many fans.

In 2025, ABC became the first artist on LtOVES, a new label launched by its producer, and the news of their music finally hitting streaming services also drew attention.

Here, we’ll focus on some of ABC’s iconic songs.

Since that day you’ve been gone…Acid Black Cherry

Acid Black Cherry’s masterpiece, “Kimi ga Inai, Ano Hi Kara…” This song is themed around the Great East Japan Earthquake.

It portrays the feelings of a man who keeps searching tirelessly into the night for his beloved, swept away by the tsunami.

The identity of the “you” in the song changes depending on the listener.

For yasu, who sings it, “you” is undoubtedly the fans.

It’s a track through which you can feel yasu’s noble character and kindness—his deep care for his fans above all, no matter the circumstances.
