VanityJanne Da Arc

Vanity (Single Mix from “D.N.A”)

This song conjures up images of possessiveness toward a loved one and a sensual night.

Released in April 2000 as one of the double A-side single tracks “Heaven’s Place / Vanity,” it was also used as the opening theme for the PlayStation 2 game Sky Surfer.

The pure desire to fall asleep wrapped in a lover’s scent, and the teasing side that surfaces when the two are alone—this sweet yet bittersweet duality is skillfully conveyed through yasu’s lustrous high tones and harmonies with the lower register, irresistibly drawing you in.

The bewitching melody woven by the heavy band sound and lyrical keyboards might be perfect for a night spent lost in thought alone.
