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.

L’Arc〜en〜Ciel is a four-member rock band with passionate fans in Japan and abroad, who in 2012 became the first Japanese artist to successfully headline a solo show at Madison Square Garden.

Their 19th single, “NEO UNIVERSE,” released as a double A-side with “finale,” was featured in a Shiseido “PN” commercial.

Because it maintains a consistently high register and features a large melodic leap in the chorus, take care if you try it at karaoke.

With a buoyant, floating pop quality that ties into its title, it’s a track likely to get thirty-somethings—who spent their youth around the year 2000—fired up.

As one of L’Arc〜en〜Ciel’s signature songs, many people have probably listened to it often or sung it themselves.

It’s a track that conveys a passion and warmth strong enough to make you forget the winter cold, and hyde’s powerful vocals are especially memorable.

Released in October 1998, this song remains beloved by many as a representative J-Rock anthem.

It builds from a gentle first verse into an increasingly intense arrangement, culminating in a chorus that explodes with emotion—so cool.

It’s by no means an easy song, but if you’re confident in your singing ability, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going!

L’Arc~en~Ciel – The Fourth Avenue Cafe

This is a song called “the Fourth Avenue Cafe” released in 1996 by L’Arc-en-Ciel, a charismatic presence in the rock scene.

It’s included on the album “True.” It’s a refreshing rock tune that makes you feel invigorated.

With an easy-to-remember melody that everyone can get excited about together, let’s sing it loud and energetically!

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Tears of Thorns

Even during their current hiatus, the world-famous visual kei rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel continues to be played by many listeners.

From beautifully ethereal songs to intense and sensual tracks, they boast an exceptionally wide musical range.

Among their catalog, the song I especially recommend for its gorgeous falsetto is Ibara no Namida (Tear of Thorns).

It opens with a slightly African-inspired intro and transitions into a powerful, full-throttle chorus, with falsetto appearing in every section.

It’s a very challenging piece, but I encourage you to give it a try.

Hurry Xmas

If you’re in your 30s, there’s a good chance you once got caught up in the whole “L’Arc or GLAY?” excitement.

L’Arc~en~Ciel is one of those bands that dominated the music scene, and this is their Christmas song.

It’s an upbeat track with a light tempo, perfect for getting the crowd going if there are L’Arc fans around! Hyde’s sultry vocals are on full display, which might make you hesitate to sing it yourself, but don’t sweat the small stuff—just have fun and sing your heart out!

It’s the endL’Arc〜en〜Ciel14rank/position

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.
