La’cryma Christi / Ivory Trees (Feb 14, 2010 Shibuya C.C. Lemon Hall)

This is La’cryma Christi’s major-label debut single, marked by its flowing twin-guitar lines and melodies that evoke the feeling of traveling through a distant, foreign land.

Within a delicately beautiful world, as if carved from ivory, it seems to sing of tenderness toward things that fade away.

Many listeners likely felt their hearts burn at the story spun by TAKA’s clear, high-toned vocals.

Released in May 1997, the song was also used as the ending theme for the TV program “Susume! Denpa Shonen.” Its sound balances progressive development with pop sensibilities, making it perfect for nights when you want to immerse yourself in a story.

Why not surrender yourself to this meticulously constructed sonic world?

La’cryma Christi / Ivory trees

La’cryma Christi was known as one of the “Big Four of Visual Kei,” along with MALICE MIZER, FANATIC◇CRISIS, and SHAZNA.

Even within the visual kei scene, they were considered a technically skilled band, and later they increasingly released songs with complex arrangements reminiscent of progressive rock.

La’cryma Christi – Gum [LIVE]

La’cryma Christi, a popular band once called one of the “Visual Kei Four Heavenly Kings.” If someone unfamiliar with this song listens to it, they might think, “Is this really a visual kei track?” because the sound is so bright and poppy.

It even has a breezy freshness that makes you feel a tropical wind.

In the lyrics, four characters are shown discussing doing something fun, and it feels completely unrelated to anything scary.

But at the very end of the song, all of the characters are run over by a train and die…

Despite the bad ending, the upbeat tone of the song sends chills down your spine, doesn’t it?

Warm SnowLa’cryma Christi5rank/position

La’cryma Christi – Warm Snow

The title track of the mini-album that La’cryma Christi—one of the defining bands of the 1990s visual kei scene—released independently in February 1996 is a mid-tempo piece distinguished by its heavy sound and dreamlike atmosphere.

The twin guitars intertwine from left and right, and the arrangement—highlighted by standout drumming in the interlude—exudes a high degree of structural sophistication with progressive elements.

The lyrics are striking as well, painting a wintry fantasy world with symbolic imagery like snow spilling from a dark, heavy sky and azure poison, immersing you in a worldview tinged with an exotic flair.

This classic, whose initial run of 15,000 copies sold out in two months and prompted a re-recorded edition, has drawn renewed attention since its streaming release in October 2025.

A masterpiece of technically adept rock, perfect for savoring on a quiet winter night.
