A wonderful Japanese music band

Janne Da Arc’s Enchanting Selection of Masterpieces ~Melodies of a Charisma~

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Janne Da Arc opened up a new frontier in the visual kei rock scene from the 1990s through the 2000s.

With yasu’s charismatic vocals and a bewitching aesthetic, they have continued to captivate countless listeners.

Their hit Gekkouka, the opening theme for the anime Black Jack, broadened their recognition.

Their catalog—where emotional rock sound meets pop-inflected melodies—remains undimmed even today.

Here, we present a selection of the timeless masterpieces Janne Da Arc left behind.
