L’Arc~en~Ciel are known for their wide musical range, but even among their songs, NEO UNIVERSE stands out as a particularly unconventional work.

While it’s built around electronic sounds like electropop, it carries more of a Komuro-style vibe than pure electropop.

The vocal range spans from mid1 F# to high C#, which is fairly wide, though the low notes appear only briefly, and the chorus is composed almost entirely of high notes.

Although the melody doesn’t fluctuate drastically in pitch, it demands stamina to sustain the high register, making it a song that favors certain vocalists.

Overall, however, it can be considered relatively easy to sing.

STAY AWAYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel12rank/position

The bass solo, rich with the allure of low frequencies, further accentuates the music’s depth.

“STAY AWAY,” where that bass sound truly stands out, is one of the most memorable songs in L’Arc~en~Ciel’s catalog.

Its simple yet unforgettable melody gradually resonates in the listener’s heart.

Combined with the band’s steadiness and delicate nuances, it creates a pleasantly immersive soundscape.

The bass solo arrives at just the right moment, delivering a powerful, heart-shaking impact while maintaining harmony without disrupting the flow of the song.

Bassists can learn a great deal from this track.

Even among summer songs, there must be quite a few people who still remember this track that you want to listen to when you’re feeling sentimental.

It’s L’Arc~en~Ciel’s third single, released in October 1995, and it sets a dramatic soundscape to lyrics about the melancholic atmosphere at the end of summer and the emptiness of a love that cools, like sun-tanned skin fading in color.

In fact, this piece is a rearranged version of a song included on the classic album “heavenly,” redone for single release, and it was also used as an ending theme for a TBS program.

It’s a timeless song that’s perfect for a solo drive along the coast or for immersing yourself in a sentimental mood at karaoke.

The Fourth Avenue CafeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel14rank/position

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.

LinkL’Arc〜en〜Ciel15rank/position

The exhilarating rock number “Link” is a crowd-pleaser at L’Arc~en~Ciel’s live shows.

The bass centers on a fast 8-beat tempo, and the chorus expands the range, making it good practice for position shifts.

It requires producing even notes and serves as solid training to improve coordination between the right and left hands.

The chord progression is easy to grasp, and repeated playing helps build stability.

It’s also well-suited for beginner bass practice to get used to speed.

Lies and TruthL’Arc〜en〜Ciel16rank/position

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.

Blurry EyesL’Arc〜en〜Ciel17rank/position

The famous song “Blurry Eyes,” known as their memorable debut single.

For fans, it’s a work full of memories.

Although it’s one of their earliest pieces, it already showcases L’Arc’s distinctive style at this stage, featuring a lush, polished vocal line.

The vocal range is mid1D to hiA#, which is relatively wide for a male song, but since the lower register is more prominent than the hiA#, it shouldn’t feel particularly difficult.

The rhythm and tempo are especially orthodox even among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s songs, so definitely give it a try singing it.

PiecesL’Arc〜en〜Ciel18rank/position

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.

GOOD LUCK MY WAYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel19rank/position

The famous song “GOOD LUCK MY WAY,” known as the theme for the film Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos.

As a L’Arc~en~Ciel track, it leans strongly into pop rock and features relatively straightforward vocals.

The vocal range is mid1 F# to hi B, which is somewhat broad but still manageable.

The chorus sits on the higher side, but the melody climbs stepwise, so you won’t feel drastic jumps in pitch.

The A verse is quite low, so the key is to maintain solid vocal power.

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s 12th single, also known as an insert song in the film GODZILLA.

Opening with an unsettling guitar arpeggio, this track delivers a dark, striking sound themed around self-destructive emotions and a fierce attachment to what one cannot bear to lose.

Released on July 8, 1998, it generated major buzz alongside the simultaneously released HONEY and Kasou.

Highlights include an ensemble that incorporates irregular time signatures and vocals that showcase hyde’s wide range from low to high.

It’s a song that resonates not only with guitar enthusiasts but also when you’re in an introspective mood.
