Using rain as its motif, the lyrics portray the end of a romance with a dual meaning: tears of sorrow for the farewell and a fruitful rain that nurtures the life to come.

Framed as the beginning of each person’s new journey, it’s sung with a fresh, forward-looking tone.

The song is notable for its a cappella sections and choral parts with fans.

It portrays approaching a woman you happen to meet in the city and trying to woo her while keeping a poker face.

The lyrics liken the frustrating push-and-pull of a romance—where she won’t easily fall despite every tactic—to a game of blackjack, and the song delivers it briskly over a jazz-tinged arrangement.

When I turn around…Janne Da Arc

Released in 2006 as their 25th single, it became the theme song for the film “HIRAKATA,” which is based on the members’ alma mater.

Centered on the season when cherry blossoms dance, it’s a farewell song that has become a standard graduation anthem.

This is their sixth single, released in 2000, and it served as the opening theme for the TV Asahi anime “Sci-Fi HARRY.” As the title suggests, the song begins guided by mysterious keyboard tones, and features intricate drum phrases and metal-style guitar, showcasing the band’s appeal in a cool, dynamic way.

It weaves a slightly dark-toned sound that turns a betrayed man’s anger, jealousy, and ferocity into lyrics built around seven key words.

The song is striking for its opening, where he lashes out at the woman in blind rage, and for the later confession when he realizes how wrong his actions were.
