Bye ByeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

L’Arc~en~Ciel – Bye Bye | Subtitle Indonesia

It was included on the album “BUTTERFLY,” released in 2012.

SHINEL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

SHINE

The 35th single “SHINE,” released as a double A-side with “NEXUS 4.” It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit and, in China, as the song for Ezaki Glico’s “Mousa” commercial.

Since the overall key is high and there are occasional wide interval jumps, adjust the key to suit your voice when singing it at karaoke.

The melody itself is relaxed, making it a catchy and easy-to-sing pop tune, so give it a try!

L’Arc~en~Ciel Erosion ~lose control~ live

This is one of the songs that became a hot topic when three singles were released simultaneously.

The other two tracks included were HONEY and Kasou.

They also had simultaneous single releases around 1998.

It was used as an insert song in the movie GODZILLA.

The chorus uses irregular meter, creating a perfect blend of unease and coolness.

L’Arc~en~Ciel “Erosion -lose control-” -Music Clip-

Released simultaneously with HONEY and Kasou, the 12th single Shinshoku ~lose control~, which was also used as an insert song in the film GODZILLA.

With its opening marked by an ominous guitar arpeggio and dark lyrics, it showcases a different side of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s appeal from the other two tracks.

The overall key is quite low, but since the ensemble features irregular time signatures, pay close attention to the rhythm when singing.

The melody itself is easy to remember, so definitely give it a try at karaoke.

READY STRADY GOL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

L’Arc～en～Ciel「READY STEADY GO」-Music Clip-

This is L’Arc-en-Ciel’s 22nd single, “READY STEADY GO.” This song, which was also used as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, is popular across a wide range of age groups even among L’Arc-en-Ciel’s catalog.

The B-side of this single includes versions of the same track with each member’s part removed, which is said to carry a message fitting for their first single after resuming activities: that if any one part is missing, it no longer constitutes L’Arc’s sound.

“Don’t be Afraid – Biohazard® × L’Arc-en-Ciel on PlayStation®VR” Promotional Video

“Don’t be Afraid -English version-” is a new song L’Arc-en-Ciel released in 2016, used in a promotional film for Sony’s hi-res capable headphones, the MDR-1000X.

As is true of the band members in general, this long-awaited release shows that Hyde’s charisma has not changed in the slightest with time; even as the years pass, both his vocal prowess and Hyde himself remain virtually unchanged, which is astonishing.

His charismatic aura perfectly suits a commercial for the cutting-edge hi-res device, leaving one utterly captivated.

Deep themes for an anime, indeed.
