[For Beginners: L'Arc~en~Ciel] Easy-to-sing Songs (1–10)

Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

The 17th single “Driver’s High,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime GTO.

Released as a re-cut from their 6th album ark, the song drew major attention at the time not only for its exhilarating sound but also for its flashy music video.

Since the chorus sits quite high and the tempo is fast, be sure to set a comfortable key for yourself at karaoke and learn it well before singing.

The melody itself is simple, so once you get used to it, it’s an uplifting tune you can sing with ease.

DAYBREAK’S BELLL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

The 32nd single “DAYBREAK’S BELL,” used as the first opening theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

Its memorable, distinctive rhythm pattern contrasted with the lyrical piano melody, together with the war-evoking lyrics, really stirs the heart.

The overall vocal range isn’t very wide, but be careful with the high notes in the chorus that use falsetto, as they’re easy to go off pitch.

Because the singing style doesn’t require much belting and makes pitch control easier, it’s a number I definitely recommend trying at karaoke.

STAY AWAYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

The 20th single “STAY AWAY,” used as the commercial song for Shiseido’s “PN,” is a track that made a strong impact with its open, pop ensemble and a music video featuring CG-enhanced member choreography.

Since the overall key is low and the vocal range isn’t wide, it’s easy for those who aren’t confident singers to give it a try.

The melody isn’t fast either, making it one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s more singable pop tunes among their singles.

The 5th single “flower,” which was selected as the theme song for the sports information program focused on baseball, Pro Yakyu News.

Its open, expansive ensemble featuring acoustic guitar and blues harp, paired with wistful lyrics, leaves a strong impression.

While the verses sit in a lower key, the chorus features a fairly high-pitched melody; since the tempo is relaxed, try to sing calmly in a key that suits your range.

Known as one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature songs, it’s a pop tune you’ll want to add to your karaoke repertoire.

Released simultaneously with HONEY and Kasou, the 12th single Shinshoku ~lose control~ was also featured in the film GODZILLA.

Its opening, which begins with an ominous guitar arpeggio, and its dark lyrics showcase a different side of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s appeal compared to the other two tracks.

The overall key is quite low, but because the arrangement features irregular time signatures, be mindful of the rhythm when singing.

The melody itself is easy to remember, so definitely give it a try at karaoke.

HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

The 10th single “HONEY,” which was used as the ending theme for the soccer information program Super Soccer and as a commercial song for NTT Personal Kansai.

Released simultaneously with “Kasou” and “Shinsoku ~lose control~,” it stands out from the darker atmosphere of the other two with its refreshing, straightforward rock sound.

While it’s simple, easy to remember, and doesn’t require a wide vocal range overall, it does feature occasional sudden leaps in pitch, so be careful not to go off key.

As one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature songs, it’s a rock tune everyone can sing together at karaoke, no matter the group.

LinkL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

The 28th single “Link,” used as the opening theme for the animated film Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa.

Its ensemble, featuring a lively beat and refreshing strings, really lifts the energy.

While the song has a wide vocal range and many challenging parts, such as leaps in pitch in the chorus, the melody’s rhythm is simple, so if you stay calm, it should be approachable to tackle.

If you absolutely can’t hit the high notes, try adjusting your device settings to make it easier to sing.
