An alternative rock piece released in October 2011, perfectly befitting the band’s 20th anniversary.
Centered on themes of sweet temptation and rapture, it weaves a sensual worldview with motifs like Eden and butterflies.
The sound—crafted by glossy vocals and a groove-rich rhythm section—is sure to draw listeners into a dreamlike realm.
On nights when you want to bask in L’Arc~en~Ciel’s refined, mature allure, surrender yourself to this addictive sound.

It’s a dark and beautiful power ballad.
It paints a world where despair and solemn grandeur intertwine—like facing the final act at the brink of hopelessness while reaching for a faint light beyond.
Hyde’s fragile yet powerful vocals leave a deep impression, stirring the listener to the core.
Released in January 2000 as one of the tracks on a double A-side single, the song was chosen as the theme for the film “Ring 0: Birthday.” It’s the perfect number for immersing yourself in the story’s world or for nights when you want music to accompany a sentimental mood.

forbidden loverL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
Composed by Ken and with lyrics by Hyde, this is a weighty and dramatic track.
Released as a single in October 1998, it is also included on the masterpiece album Ark.
It depicts a story of forbidden love that is pursued despite the knowledge of bearing sin.
The protagonist’s anguished cries as they think of their beloved under extreme circumstances intertwine with the grand sound, powerfully shaking the listener’s heart.
The preciousness and pain of upholding love in an irrational world— the heavy ensemble and Hyde’s expressively rich vocals seem to tell it all.
seasideL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
Released in November 2007, the masterpiece KISS debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart, marking L’Arc~en~Ciel’s seventh No.
1 weekly album.
From this album, I’d like to highlight a gem that quietly shines, evoking a seaside scene before your eyes.
Its melody line, reminiscent of gentle waves, showcases tetsuya’s refined songwriting.
The lyrical worldview suggests a fleeting love story with a mermaid, or perhaps an eternal farewell that arrives without a word—tightening the chest with its poignancy.
The futility of an unfulfilled love, a sense of loss like fruit plucked before it ripens, intertwines with hyde’s emotionally rich vocals to resonate achingly in the heart.
Listen quietly by the seaside at twilight, and it will surely offer a gentle companion to your sentimental mood.
TRUSTL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
With an unparalleled sense of musical sophistication, the visual kei rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel has garnered high acclaim not only in Japan but also in Europe, where musical standards are considered especially high.
They have many classic songs, but the one I particularly recommend as a practice piece for vibrato is “TRUST.” This tastefully crafted rock ballad features multiple long tones.
HYDE’s vibrato is textbook-level stable, so try practicing by imitating his approach.
L’Arc-en-Ciel 30th L’AnniversaryL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
L’Arc~en~Ciel, a leading Japanese visual-kei rock band popular even in Europe.
With their wide-ranging musicality and sophisticated melodies, they’ve remained at the top in every era.
“L’Arc-en-Ciel 30th L’Anniversary” is a live performance that can be called the grand finale crowning their 30th anniversary as a band.
Beyond their superb musicianship, their visually captivating live shows leave a lasting impression after just one viewing.
Be sure to check it out.
Feeling FineL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
Feeling Fine portrays someone stepping forward toward the future while still grappling with a past romance.
The track was included on rock band L’Arc-en-Ciel’s 2004 album SMILE.
Alongside hyde’s cool yet radiant vocals, the band delivers a refreshing, energetic sound.
When a relationship ends and you’re feeling lonely or anxious, that’s exactly when you want to hear a song that lifts your spirits.
Rather than forcing yourself to forget a heartbreak, this rock number gives you the push you need to face a new tomorrow.
