Pieces by L’Arc~en~Ciel is notable for its soft sound with extensive use of strings.

Unusually for a L’Arc song, it’s themed around a parent and child, featuring vocals that are both grand and warm.

The biggest challenge in this piece is undoubtedly the repeated falsetto in the chorus.

While it doesn’t involve rapid pitch jumps, the falsetto lines are fairly long and appear multiple times, demanding stamina in both the throat and breath control.

If you can get past that, it’s generally easy to sing, so be sure to give it a try.

The second single “Vivid Colors,” which was used as the ending theme for the variety show Gurutte Ninety-Nine, is a track known as one of their early signature songs, featuring an ensemble full of buoyancy and drive and a refreshing melody that feels great.

Since the overall key is low and the melody is easy to remember, it’s recommended even for those who aren’t confident in their singing; however, it does include high notes using falsetto, so be careful not to slip off pitch.

As a well-known song, it’s a pop tune that everyone can get excited about together at karaoke.

The song “Kaze no Yukue” included on the 2nd album “Tierra.” Its soft rock–styled ensemble, featuring a clean guitar sound, creates L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature sense of weightless drift and a nostalgic atmosphere.

The vocals are delivered with an overall restrained tone, and since the key is low and the tempo is relaxed, it’s easy to try even for those who aren’t confident singers.

However, to capture the original feel, dynamics are important, so once you get used to it, try paying attention to that aspect as well.

L’Arc~en~Ciel, with hyde’s vocals that are both smooth and fierce, leaves a strong impression.

Among their songs, the classic “Lies and Truth” boasts exceptional delicacy.

While it lacks sheer power, the falsetto in the chorus is a major challenge, featuring sharp rises and falls in pitch and even low-range falsetto.

That said, because a powerful vocal isn’t required, you could say that once you clear the falsetto sections, there aren’t many difficult points left.

If you’re confident in your head voice control, definitely give it a try.

The song “Dune,” which shares its title with their indie debut album, was born in the same year the band was formed.

Its driving beat and spacious ensemble feel both light and brimming with melancholy.

While the overall melody sits in a higher key, the vocal range itself isn’t very wide, so it’s easy to sing if you set the key to suit your voice.

As an early track, it’s a number that any L’Arc~en~Ciel fan should definitely add to their karaoke repertoire.

The Fourth Avenue CafeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

Among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many hit numbers, The Fourth Avenue Cafe is renowned as a hidden gem.

It’s a piece that carries a subtle sense of emotion beneath its brightness, distinguished by vocals that appeal to the listener’s feelings.

The song’s range is quite broad, from mid1C to hiD#.

While it includes some lower notes and also reaches fairly high, which might make it seem difficult, the pitch movement isn’t very drastic, so it’s a song that’s relatively easy to keep in tune.

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s song “Jojoushi” is highly acclaimed overseas.

The more you love L’Arc’s musicality, the more highly you’ll likely rate this piece.

Its greatest charm is, above all, the flowing, beautiful vocal line.

Although the song frequently switches between falsetto and chest voice, all the falsetto parts sit at a certain height, so even those who lack confidence in their falsetto volume can feel at ease.

Rather than lowering the key to adjust, it’s recommended to focus on producing your head voice and adjust by raising the key instead.
