Janne Da Arc’s Enchanting Masterpieces: Melodies of a Charisma (61–70)

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.

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.

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.
