Janne Da Arc’s Enchanting Masterpieces: Melodies of a Charisma (71–80)
AGEJanne Da Arc
No one will call it just “visual” anymore!! This is a gritty rock track—like an anthem of teenage years—that’s a staple at the men-only live event “Otokojiri Night.” Every man should be able to relate to the lyrics, which depict the justice and inner turmoil of youths biting back against the contradictions of adulthood!

Listening to this song makes me wonder what betrayal really is.
Not being able to keep just one promise can become a betrayal; love and murderous intent can be two sides of the same coin; even the same emotion can turn into love or hatred depending on how you look at it—this is also true in my own experience.
Because it’s the end, I’ll keep them all to myself.
Could this reverse way of thinking be called love? The sound that carries these lyrics, which so delicately describe the movements of the heart, is exquisite.
It’s a highly recommended track.
A beautiful witch in a picture bookJanne Da Arc
The song “child vision: The Beautiful Witch in the Picture Book” by Janne Da Arc is told from a toddler’s perspective.
The toddler is bullied by the father’s mistress, the parents’ relationship begins to crack, a tense atmosphere hangs over the home, and the family gradually falls apart—a frightening story.
If I turn around…Janne Da Arc
Released in 2006 as Janne Da Arc’s 25th single.
The song was used as the theme for the film “HIRAKATA,” which features the band members and is based on their alma mater.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that evokes graduation and spring.
It reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and is widely regarded as a staple graduation song.
The HandsJanne Da Arc
After the breakup of Chicago legends Cap’n Jazz, the band Joan of Arc was started in 1995 by the group’s central figure, Tim Kinsella.
With the exception of Tim, the lineup has essentially been fluid; within the Kinsella family, his younger brother Mike Kinsella—known for American Football and Owen—has also taken part.
If you dig into the comings and goings of the members around this circle, it starts to feel like a family tree of emo’s history, so if that interests you, definitely check it out.
Joan of Arc, however, is a band with a musical identity distinct from so-called “emo,” often discussed alongside post-rock and experimental/electro-acoustic scenes.
Their work can be challenging and, to be frank, not exactly straightforward; that tendency became more pronounced with each release.
Even so, their 1997 debut album, A Portable Model Of …, introduced here, strikes a miraculous balance between experimentation and a unique pop sensibility, making it highly recommended for first-time listeners.
Tim’s freaky melodies, floating electronic tones, and ensembles that depart from traditional rock formats weave a sonic world that, if anything, feels stylish when heard now, well into the 2020s.
It may seem hard to approach at first, but once you grasp the depth of these sounds, your world will undoubtedly expand.
NEO VENUSJanne Da Arc
This song was released in April 2001 as the eighth single.
With lyrics by yasu and music by kiyo, it was featured as the commercial song for the Game Boy Advance title Mega Man Battle Network.
The lyrics, themed around dreams, hope, and supportive relationships, are memorable, expressing gratitude to “you” who reminded the singer of dreams they were close to losing and put their scattered, puzzle-like heart back together.
Paired with its upbeat, cool sound, it’s a track that deeply resonates.
It’s perfect when you need courage to take on a new challenge or want to feel the bond with someone important.
RED ZONEJanne Da Arc
Jeanne d’Arc’s famous debut song! It’s about a man’s heart being toyed with by a bewitching woman.
Even as he tells himself he’s had enough of being strung along, he still wants her by his side—capturing the dilemma of being unable to stop his feelings for her.
