SpeedJanne Da Arc

A rock number bursting with a sense of speed! This track is marked by its energetic performance.

The lyrics, which depict the conflicts and doubts felt on sleepless nights, leave a strong impression.

It’s included on their first indie mini-album, “Dearly,” released in April 1998.

The double-bass drum in the interlude is awesome, and it’s an essential song for boosting unity with the audience at live shows.

Recommended for those who want to feel a burning rock spirit or fire themselves up with intense music.

Its headbanging tempo will give you the courage to take on new challenges.

So BlewJanne Da Arc

After a fight with a lover, on a night spent sleeping alone, the narrator suddenly wonders, “Will I be by my future lover’s side?” The song conveys a foreboding sense that things might end this way, hinting at a breakup.

It’s a comforting track featuring a clear, translucent vocal with sustained long tones.

If you want to go wild headbanging, this is the song! It portrays the blind love of a man who keeps loving a haughty woman even as she toys with him.

OASISJanne Da Arc

Tried playing OASIS [Janne Da Arc]
OASISJanne Da Arc

This song tells the story of a man who, bound by society’s realities and conventions, has lived like a cog in the machine—working relentlessly, forgetting how to dream, and letting precious things slip away.

One day, with a single merciless remark from someone powerful, he’s cast out onto the streets.

The song pours out his helpless sorrow and blazing anger in a raw, cathartic cry.

This is a track from their 13th single.

It was originally supposed to be released under the title “Orion’s Arrow,” but there’s a story that they rewrote everything after realizing Orion doesn’t carry a bow and arrow.

It’s a cool song with a mid-tempo feel, featuring guitar riffs and keyboards.

It really showcases their style, and I think many people like it.
