L’Arc~en~Ciel – It’s the end (Demo)

A song included on L’Arc~en~Ciel’s album Ark.

It’s not one of their most famous tracks, but the bassline and lyrics are outstanding.

When people think of L’Arc, they often imagine high, difficult vocals, but this song doesn’t have many high notes, so I recommend it.

“Caress of Venus” is a track included as the second song on the 1996 album “True.” A different mix is included on the best-of compilation “The Best of L’Arc~en~Ciel.” The title literally translates to “Embrace of Venus.” The word “caress” can also mean “kiss.”

L’Arc~en~Ciel “Summer Melancholy [time to say good-bye]” -Music Clip-

A ballad by L’Arc~en~Ciel that expresses the bittersweet sadness and loneliness felt at the end of summer.

It weaves memories and a sense of loss for a departed lover, resonating deeply with listeners.

Released in October 1995 as their third single, it is also included on their major-label debut album, “heavenly.” Thanks to the tie-in event “L’Arc~en~Ciel DAY” held at Toshimaen, the song spread to many fans.

It’s a track that offers comfort to those feeling the pain of heartbreak or who have experienced parting with someone important.

It’s also perfect for immersing yourself in a melancholic end-of-summer mood.

L’Arc～en～Ciel「READY STEADY GO」-Music Clip-

This is L’Arc-en-Ciel’s 22nd single, “READY STEADY GO.” This song, which was also used as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, is popular across a wide range of age groups even among L’Arc-en-Ciel’s catalog.

The B-side of this single includes versions of the same track with each member’s part removed, which is said to carry a message fitting for their first single after resuming activities: that if any one part is missing, it no longer constitutes L’Arc’s sound.

AnemoneL’Arc〜en〜Ciel40rank/position

L’Arc～en～Ciel「Anemone」-Music Clip-

The song “Anemone,” first officially released on the best-of album Clicked Singles Best 13.

Its arrangement is striking, with a solemn ensemble of piano and strings layered with a Spanish-style guitar.

Overall, the key is quite high, including falsetto, and there are many wide interval jumps, making it a challenging piece.

However, since the tempo is relaxed, it should be easier to try at karaoke if you set it to a comfortable key.

Once you feel more confident singing it, pay attention to dynamics as well—this is a dreamy, atmospheric ballad.

Tears of ThornsL’Arc〜en〜Ciel41rank/position

L’Arc~en~Ciel – Ibara No Namida

This is a song with a profoundly weighty worldview, as if offering a prayer on the brink of despair.

Themes of battle, sacrifice, and atonement deeply shake the listener’s heart.

When you’re struggling in inescapable pain, there may be moments when you feel like throwing everything away.

This work, like a single ray of light piercing the darkness, teaches the preciousness of prayer.

It was included on the album “ray,” released in July 1999, and was also used as the theme song for the drama “Blue Bird Syndrome.” Listen to it when you want to immerse yourself in a grand narrative or touch the intense emotions that well up from the depths of your heart.
