L’Arc~en~Ciel “Erosion -lose control-” -Music Clip-

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 song “Kaze no Yukue” included on the 2nd album “Tierra.” Its soft rock–styled ensemble, featuring a clean guitar sound, creates L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature sense of weightless drift and a nostalgic atmosphere.

The vocals are delivered with an overall restrained tone, and since the key is low and the tempo is relaxed, it’s easy to try even for those who aren’t confident singers.

However, to capture the original feel, dynamics are important, so once you get used to it, try paying attention to that aspect as well.
