A wonderful Japanese music band

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

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.

Included on the 2nd album “Q.E.D.” While the sound is rooted in traditional heavy metal, the A-melody features Japanese lyrics with a slightly rap-like delivery, and from the B-melody onward it switches to English lyrics with call-and-response shouts—an unusual structure.

Rather than focusing on showcasing vocals, it’s a crowd-participation, high-energy hype track.

This is a classic song that almost always gets the crowd going at live shows.

With an upbeat, dance-inducing feel, it’s sung around the theme of a playful, devilish woman.

There are many spoken-line parts in the lyrics, which turn into call-and-response moments at concerts—making it a perfect song to hype up the audience.

This is the seventh track on the 1st album “BLACK LIST.” It’s a song where yasu’s voice matches perfectly with the relentlessly intense band throughout.

The guitar in the intro throws in heavy pinch harmonics, giving it a thrash metal vibe.

There’s also a performance using a megaphone during the guitar solo, making it a highly entertaining track.

It’s a song themed around “infidelity” or “cheating,” as revealed by the fate of the ring.

The ring tells the story of a messy relationship: hiding the ring, hiding the fact that there’s a beloved partner, and loving someone else.

It also expresses the feelings of the woman who discovers she’s been cheated on, making it relatable from either perspective.

This is a song by Acid Black Cherry that drew attention with its sweet melodies and profound lyrics.

Released in October 2014, it reached No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Built on a powerful sound, yasu’s commanding vocals and solid timbre perfectly match the lyrics that explore an inner struggle against dark dreams, despair, and the pain of reality.

It’s perfect for times when you feel lost in life or want to face yourself.

As the title suggests, this is a song about love.

The charm of Acid Black Cherry lies in their love songs, and I believe the lyrics, which delicately depict a woman’s heart, are truly one of a kind.

Although this track is short, the piano and strings blend beautifully, making it feel like you’re listening to a grand love ballad, and the additional vocal heard behind the lead vocal is another outstanding element of the song.

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.
