Shangri-LaAcid Black Cherry
It’s a song that has none of Acid Black Cherry’s dark image at all; even the music video is very pop and easy to listen to.
It’s said to be a recovery song in response to the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
The three prefectures of Iwate, Fukushima, and Miyagi are hidden within the lyrics.
Not only that, there’s a scene in the MV where paint is thrown onto a wall, and the shape it forms resembles the Japanese archipelago.
Be sure to look for it.
Black Cat ~Adult Black Cat~Acid Black Cherry
This is a track from the 17th single.
Like “Black Cherry,” it’s a song infused with sensuality.
Throughout the lyrics, there are parts that seem to continue the story from the 1st single, “SPELL MAGIC.” How about listening while appreciating the title—which plays on the artist’s name—and the narrative quality of the lyrics?
A Girl’s PrayerAcid Black Cherry
The lyrics of this song include references to wrist-cutting and pills, and it’s a song about a girl carrying deep emotional wounds.

Amid an intense hard rock sound, a heartrending yet beautiful melody strikes straight at the heart.

Even as she spirals into self-destruction, the moment she realizes there is a new life growing inside her, her world is transformed.
Released in June 2011 as the tenth single, this song was later included on the album “2012,” which went on to top the Oricon weekly chart.
For those lost in life and struggling in the dark, it’s sure to kindle a ray of light.
Why not entrust your heart to yasu’s voice as it sings of emotions shifting from despair to hope?
A gentle lieAcid Black Cherry
It’s no exaggeration to say that the hallmark of this song is the delay on the vocals—it’s there pretty much from the very beginning.
Following the previous track, “Sleeping Princess,” this one is also a ballad.
The lyrics and overall tone convey a strong sense of sadness.
Another notable feature is that while the guitar and bass play relaxed phrases, the drums are quite intense.

This song was written even before ABC officially kicked off, and it’s been performed a few times.
It has a strong sense of speed and an energizing vibe.
The solid drums interlock nicely with the bass, with guitar melodies woven in, making it a recommended track even for those who don’t know ABC or aren’t into visual kei.
