A popular song by Acid Black Cherry. A masterpiece that shines with aesthetic decadence and a strong conceptual flair.

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.

CRISISAcid Black Cherry

From the intro, the tone evokes hard rock, and above all, even though it’s a love song—a heartbreak song—it feels like a gentle push on your back.

It’s not as if the lyrics keep that mood the whole time; they also clearly express the vulnerabilities unique to women.

It’s a highly recommended track.

It’s an intense, up-tempo track, the most provocative and sexually charged song we’ve released so far.

It’s a staple in our live shows, and from the intro it lifts the audience’s spirits with a bright, hard-rock sound.

Because you are hereAcid Black Cherry

This was the very first song created before ABC’s debut.

It was written for the fans, so it wasn’t initially released as an audio track, but due to its popularity it was later made available as a digital-only release.

In 2025, it was added to subscription streaming services and offered as a downloadable file.

With its acoustic arrangement, it’s a song that gives you a calm, peaceful feeling when you listen to it.

A One-Night LoveAcid Black Cherry

This exquisite cover song vividly depicts a fierce yet fleeting romance, brought to life by Yasu’s sweet and heartrending vocals.

Though the protagonist knows the relationship is ephemeral, their resolve to give everything overlaps with the melancholic tones, tightening the listener’s chest.

The track was included as the B-side to the single “Fuyu no Maboroshi,” released in January 2008, and was later featured on the cover album “Recreation,” released in May of the same year.

It’s impressive how a renowned 1980s kayōkyoku classic—one that Yasu himself cites as an influence—is expressed through his uniquely decadent aesthetic.

It’s the perfect song for a sentimental night, guaranteed to pull you into its story.

SPELL MAGICAcid Black Cherry

All the members of ABC make their entrance at the beginning dressed in Akiba fashion—what you’d call an otaku style.

However, as soon as the song starts, staging that conveys a distinctly visual kei presence is woven in, making it a track that’s fun both to watch and to listen to.

Among ABC’s songs, this one features relatively simple choreography, so if you’re thinking of doing a cover, don’t be put off—give it a try.

Prologue EndAcid Black Cherry

This is the final track included on their first album, which was created around the theme of whether people can judge others.

It’s a rock ballad where the soothing, beautiful piano tones and the delicate, refined vocals are perfectly matched.
