[Karaoke] A Roundup of Easy-to-Sing L’Arc〜en〜Ciel Songs (1–10)
DIVE TO BLUEL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
DIVE TO BLUE, a classic L’Arc~en~Ciel song themed around freedom.
True to their early work, it leans heavily into pop characteristics, with catchy vocal lines and guitar phrases throughout.
The song spans a relatively wide range in the lower register (mid1 C to hi C), so rather than favoring higher voices, it tends to be easier for singers with a tone that can provide solid fullness in the mid-to-low range.
Since falsetto appears in the chorus and the bridge, it’s recommended to set the key based on how comfortably you can produce those parts.
Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
The 17th single “Driver’s High,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime GTO.
Released as a re-cut from the sixth album ark, the track’s exhilarating vibe—and its flashy music video—generated major buzz at the time.
Since the chorus sits quite high and the tempo is fast, be sure to set a karaoke key that suits you and learn it well before singing.
The melody itself is simple, so once you get used to it, it’s an uplifting tune you can sing comfortably.
flowerL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
The 5th single “flower,” which was selected as the theme song for the baseball-focused sports program Pro Yakyū News.
Its open, airy ensemble of acoustic guitar and blues harp paired with bittersweet lyrics is striking.
While the verses (A and B sections) sit in a lower key, the chorus features a considerably higher melody; since the tempo is relaxed, try to sing calmly and adjust to your own vocal range.
Known as one of L’Arc〜en〜Ciel’s signature songs, it’s a pop tune you’ll want to add to your karaoke repertoire.
winter fallL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature song “winter fall” has been loved for many years.
While the smooth vocal lines and beautiful falsetto may stand out, the falsetto in this piece is a low falsetto around mid2G, so you don’t need to worry about being unable to produce it.
Although it can be harder to project volume, you should be fine if you adjust the key around the falsetto sections.
However, if you raise the key too much for the falsetto, you may lose the ability to hit the highest chest voice note, hi B, so maintaining balance is important.
DAYBREAK’S BELLL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
The 32nd single “DAYBREAK’S BELL,” used as the first opening theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Its contrast between a distinctive, ear-catching rhythm pattern and a lyrical piano melody, together with lyrics that evoke the image of war, truly stirs the heart.
While the overall vocal range isn’t very wide, be careful with the high notes in the chorus that use falsetto, as they can be easy to go off pitch.
Since the singing style doesn’t require much belting and makes pitch control easier, it’s a number I definitely recommend trying at karaoke.
Invitation to FreedomL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
An example of the strong pop-rock tendencies that characterized L’Arc~en~Ciel in the 2000s, Invitation to Freedom.
Released in 2004, this piece remains highly popular thanks to its catchy melodies and expansive, soaring phrases.
With a vocal range of mid2A to hiE, it is quite wide even among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s songs, making it relatively difficult for those with a narrower range.
However, the pitch movement isn’t particularly drastic, and many phrases emphasize sustain, so for singers with higher voices, it can be considered relatively accessible to perform.
HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
The 10th single “HONEY,” which was used as the ending theme for the soccer information program Super Soccer and as a commercial song for NTT Personal Kansai.
Released simultaneously with “Kasou” and “Shinsoku ~lose control~,” it stands out from the darker atmosphere of the other two with its refreshing, straightforward rock sound.
While it’s simple, easy to remember, and doesn’t require a wide vocal range overall, it does feature occasional sudden leaps in pitch, so be careful not to go off key.
As one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature songs, it’s a rock tune everyone can sing together at karaoke, no matter the group.
