L’Arc~en~Ciel’s Masterpieces | A Comprehensive Introduction from Big Hits to Hidden Gems (31–40)
Don’t be AfraidL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
It was chosen as the theme song for the Japanese-dubbed version of Resident Evil.
The limited first pressing is in LP format, and the jacket features a special finish where the members turn into zombies when viewed from different angles.
The song’s world-building is quintessential L’Arc—highly recommended.
birth!L’Arc〜en〜Ciel
This is a bright, upbeat song that offers a glimpse of L’Arc’s pop sensibilities.
The track is the sixth of ten on their fifth album, “HEART,” released in 1998, and there’s an anecdote that it was written “with the idea of being the first track on the B-side, if it were a record.” Indeed, on such a richly varied album, it’s a number perfectly suited to kick off the second side after flipping the record over.
The Rain Leaves a ScarL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
The title The Rain Leaves a Scar carries the meaning “Not even the rain can heal my scars.” This song is included on the album heavenly, and unusually for a L’Arc-en-Ciel album, this is the only album where a fierce track is placed at the end.
Performing with a sense of flashiness reflects the members’ image of this song.
Dearest LoveL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
“Dearest Love” is the final track on the 1996 album “True.” It’s a classic rock ballad in a relaxed triplet rhythm, rendered with L’Arc-en-Ciel’s distinctive flavor.
The shimmering sway as if drifting in the guitar’s luminous sound contrasts beautifully with Hyde’s sensuous, unhurried vocals.
Shutting from the skyL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
This is the first track on their debut album DUNE, released during their indie period when they were active in Osaka.
Although the composition is credited to L’Arc-en-Ciel for this song, the original composer is listed as hiro.
In its original form, the song was titled “Claustrophobia.” It’s a captivating piece that conveys the feeling of a loved one growing so distant they can no longer be seen.
A classic from L’Arc-en-Ciel.

premonitionL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
This is a song that was included on the bonus CD of the music magazine SHOXX published by Ongaku Senka-sha.
It was also included as a bonus track on the 10th anniversary edition of their first album, DUNE.
It’s a rock number that sings about “you,” who have vanished somewhere.
The straightforward guitar riff and melodic line that naturally settle into your ears, combined with the driving rhythm, are really cool.
Where the wind goesL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
It’s included in the image video “Siesta ~Film of Dreams~.” It’s a classic from L’Arc-en-Ciel’s early days.
The gentle yet powerful, sexy vocals are incredibly captivating.
The composition is by Ken.
The way the song portrays someone longing for a person who has gone far away is beautifully depicted and very compelling.
You can deeply feel the heartache of living apart in different places.
