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

To SlumberL’Arc〜en〜Ciel43rank/position

L’Arc~en~Ciel “In Praise of Sleep” -Music Clip-

Their first video single, “Nemuri ni Yosete,” marked their major-label debut.

The arrangement layers a distorted guitar sound over an ensemble that evokes bossa nova—something rarely heard in the mainstream scene at the time—showing that even then L’Arc~en~Ciel stood apart from other bands.

The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, so it’s relatively easy to sing; however, because the song has many sections and a complex melody, be sure to learn it thoroughly before performing it in front of others.

Its freshness and high level of completion still hold up today, making it a track that’s sure to be a hit at karaoke.

Perfect BlueL’Arc〜en〜Ciel44rank/position

「Perfect Blue」 L’Arc〜en〜Ciel [Grand Cross Tour Live] + Sub. Español [CC]

It’s not a very famous song, but if I had to pick one that feels like summer and the tropics, it would be this.

The steel guitar sound, the melody, and Hyde’s sweet vocal harmonies evoke the image of some island in a tropical paradise.

I think it’s also a perfect track to listen to while sunbathing by the pool.

L’Arc En Ciel -Pretty Girl (Live) L’ArCASINO Lyric

This song features adult-themed lyrics and a hard rock-style guitar solo.

It really fires up the crowd at live shows, and if you can pull it off, you’re sure to be a hit with both men and women! The key is low, so it should be easy to sing.

It’s a hidden gem by L’Arc-en-Ciel.

Definitely try singing it at karaoke.

L’Arc～en～Ciel「and She Said」-Music Clip-

It’s a hidden gem by L’Arc~en~Ciel.

It was released as a video single in 1995 and re-released on DVD in 2003.

It came out to coincide with the start of the “in CLUB ’95” concert tour.

L’Arc~en~Ciel had previously released a track called “Nemuri ni yosete” as a video single as well, but it didn’t catch on.

This became their last video single.

NEO UNIVERSE／finaleL’Arc〜en〜Ciel47rank/position

Neo universe L’arc en Ciel

The best-selling visual kei band in 2000 was L’Arc-en-Ciel.

With their distinctive worldview, they became especially popular among women, leading to a massive hit that sold over 1.1 million copies and ranked 10th on the annual singles chart.

LORELEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel48rank/position

L’Arc~en~Ciel – LORELEY

This is the opening track from the fifth album HEART, released in 1998.

For the band, this album marked their first work after drummer yukihiro officially joined.

The saxophone in the intro is something vocalist hyde practiced in secret from the other members, and he has performed it himself live as well.

It’s a song with a relaxed yet dynamic rhythm that feels wonderfully comfortable.

Shout at the DevilL’Arc〜en〜Ciel49rank/position

L’Arc～en～Ciel-shout at the devil

A fast-tempo, high-octane rock number.

Included on the 1998 fifth album “HEART,” this track was recorded in a “one-take” session where the members played simultaneously, rather than recording each instrument separately as is usually done.

It’s a popular song that was also featured in a commercial for Daihatsu’s MOVE CUSTOM.
