ICEJanne Da Arc

This is the lead track from the second mini-album.

It’s a song from when they were going full throttle in their Visual Kei days, and it was apparently a live staple.

With its fast beat in the chorus, it’s the kind of track that makes you want to headbang.

A ballad by Janne Da Arc, famous as a visual kei band.

The vocalist’s unexpectedly high voice for a man is extremely captivating.

The song’s atmosphere retains a band-like feel and is really cool.

Highly recommended for its song structure and the band’s performance skills.

With the sky fading into haze behind (me/us)Janne Da Arc

A visual kei band that has enjoyed immense popularity since their indie days—even to the point where a certain music magazine ran a serialized manga about their formation.

Their appeal lies in vocalist yasu’s uniquely expressive singing style and songs that are catchy yet exude an alluring, mysterious vibe.

Dear my…Janne Da Arc

Dear my…Janne Da Arc

With lyrics that unfold in gentle words as if speaking to a lover, the bass leads the rhythm, shaping an overall soft tone.

It’s a song that seems to whisper, “It’s okay to cry,” gently staying by your side, and makes you feel ready to keep doing your best again tomorrow.

This song, sung in strikingly high tones that you wouldn’t expect from a male vocalist and delivered in rapid succession, tells of a secret relationship with a mischievous, devilish woman.

Confounded by the difference in her daytime expressions, the narrator’s desire to know her more deeply swells, and he conveys that longing melodiously.

ACID BREATHJanne Da Arc

A track that opens their fifth album, ARCADIA, released in 2004.

It is actually about anonymous internet message boards, and the lyrics are laced with biting irony.

Combining a complex, progressive rock–like structure with their signature sense of speed, it’s a song brimming with Janne Da Arc’s distinctive style.
