L’Arc~en~Ciel Popular Song Rankings [2026]

DIVE TO BLUEL’Arc〜en〜Ciel22rank/position

L’Arc～en～Ciel「DIVE TO BLUE」-Music Clip-

DIVE TO BLUE, a classic L’Arc~en~Ciel song themed around freedom.

True to their early work, it leans heavily into pop characteristics, with catchy vocal lines and guitar phrases throughout.

The song spans a relatively wide range in the lower register (mid1 C to hi C), so rather than favoring higher voices, it tends to be easier for singers with a tone that can provide solid fullness in the mid-to-low range.

Since falsetto appears in the chorus and the bridge, it’s recommended to set the key based on how comfortably you can produce those parts.

New WorldL’Arc〜en〜Ciel23rank/position

L’Arc～en～Ciel「New World」-Music Clip-

New World is a song that, despite L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many unconventional tracks, is unusually crafted as a straightforward Japanese rock number.

It’s said to have been inspired by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s music, resulting in a cohesive blend of orthodox vocal lines and guitar phrases.

The vocal range spans from mid1F to hiC#, which is somewhat wide and on the higher side, yet narrow by L’Arc’s standards.

The structure ramps up the voltage suddenly in the chorus, but since there are many shouts in the A melody, it’s best to keep that in mind when singing.

L’Arc~en~Ciel “Lyric Poem” -Music Clip-

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s song “Jojoushi” is highly acclaimed overseas.

The more you love L’Arc’s musicality, the more highly you’ll likely rate this piece.

Its greatest charm is, above all, the flowing, beautiful vocal line.

Although the song frequently switches between falsetto and chest voice, all the falsetto parts sit at a certain height, so even those who lack confidence in their falsetto volume can feel at ease.

Rather than lowering the key to adjust, it’s recommended to focus on producing your head voice and adjust by raising the key instead.

Please use this as a reference.

L’Arc～en～Ciel「Vivid Colors」-Music Clip-

The second single “Vivid Colors,” which was used as the ending theme for the variety show Gurutte Ninety-Nine, is a track known as one of their early signature songs, featuring an ensemble full of buoyancy and drive and a refreshing melody that feels great.

Since the overall key is low and the melody is easy to remember, it’s recommended even for those who aren’t confident in their singing; however, it does include high notes using falsetto, so be careful not to slip off pitch.

As a well-known song, it’s a pop tune that everyone can get excited about together at karaoke.

Invitation to FreedomL’Arc〜en〜Ciel28rank/position

L’Arc~en~Ciel “Invitation to Freedom” - Music Clip -

An example of the strong pop-rock tendencies that characterized L’Arc~en~Ciel in the 2000s, Invitation to Freedom.

Released in 2004, this piece remains highly popular thanks to its catchy melodies and expansive, soaring phrases.

With a vocal range of mid2A to hiE, it is quite wide even among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s songs, making it relatively difficult for those with a narrower range.

However, the pitch movement isn’t particularly drastic, and many phrases emphasize sustain, so for singers with higher voices, it can be considered relatively accessible to perform.
