"ark": Driver's High

words: hyde music: tetsu

"Driver's High" This is a really sunny song, as "GTO" The first OP of the TV version, of course, has to be accompanied by a song about riding a motorcycle and running wild. The roar of the motorcycle at the beginning seems to indicate that there will be an extraordinary adventure. Hyde's voice is casual and has a bit of a "who cares!" feeling. Yukihiro's drums and Ken's guitar are full of passion. , Tetsu’s BASS was really skillfully pulled out of a motorcycle engine, which is indeed the devil’s evil skill. And this song is completely in line with the devil's light and cheerful style.

SMILE! 02——READY STEADY GO

words: hyde/music: tetsu /arranged by L'Arc-en-Cieamp; Hajime Okano

"RSG" is Rainbow's No. 1 comeback single It was a work that had high hopes and expectations from many fans. Together with the TV version of "Fullmetal Alchemist" which was very popular at the time, it can be said that it made a strong comeback. The intro of Yukihiro's drum beat combined with Ken's guitar is full of a strong sense of speed. It starts with the climax (several songs this time use this method), the song's melody is catchy, coupled with the light folk song It feels like it is indeed a work from the hand of the devil. The expressive artistic conception of the lyrics and hyde's powerful singing give the listener a sense of joy. The performance in the middle is even more passionate. The live version of the performance During this song, the joyful swaying of the band members' bodies and Hyde's circling left a deep impression on people. "RSG", full of passion and yearning spirit, is definitely the most suitable single for the first release. However, after the song was released, some people expressed disappointment, thinking that the song was not outstanding, and that hyde's voice was not as shocking as before. In addition, some people thought that this song was too pop and did not have the beautiful artistic conception of Rainbow's previous songs. There is no right or wrong in the evaluation. People who are dissatisfied with this song have their own reasons, but what I want to say is that Rainbow, as a band that has been silent for more than two years, although it used to have a high status, cannot just rely on its previous reputation to relax. To once again dominate the fiercely competitive Japanese music industry, in order to increase exposure and topicality, it is necessary to create a song that pursues a catchy melody. This is just like many singers releasing an album before a concert. The melody is simple and the bright song has its own commercial considerations as a concert theme song. As far as I know, the original beat of "RSG" is relatively soft, and it is actually a slow song. During the rehearsal, Yukihiro played the drums according to Hyde's suggestion. The tempo picked up and the band members all thought it felt really good, so the arrangement changed dramatically.

Of course, Rainbow's previous singles have beautiful, soothing melody and grand atmosphere. For example, the feeling of "Rainbow", which comes back from the dead, is completely different from "RSG", but there are also singles with simple and bright melody, such as "STAY AWAY", which is deeply loved by fans. If it had been released in 2004, it might not have received a biased evaluation. This is attributed to the fact that people's impression of Rainbow always stays on works such as "Rainbow" and "Flower Burial". After cooling down for 2 years, it returned I was a little disappointed when I heard "RSG" with a relatively simple melody, but "RSG" still ranked first on the ORICON Singles Chart.

LOST HEAVEN

words: hyde/music: ken

There was a saying for a while, "Ken and pig join forces, it must be a high-quality product". Indeed, the combination of words: hyde/music: ken represents a group of L 'Arc-en-Ciel's classic work, and in recent years, LOST HEAVEN, which Ken tailored for the L group, will undoubtedly be a new masterpiece. I really like the lyrics of this song, Lost Paradise, some incredible I believe everyone has experienced these feelings of not letting go, as well as wishes and beautiful memories of lost things. The seemingly brisk music style is more melancholy and helpless and less free and easy under the rendering of hyde lyrics. and Boogie. From this point of view, the world view of Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie will still continue the depth of the comic (laughs). Another surprising thing is the keyboard of this song, which is really good, and the three members of the band The performance cooperates very well, thank you Mr. Hiroaki Sugawara. This song obviously uses at least one support guitar, but the person playing it is not Hyde, but the support guitarist. The only regret is that the bass arrangement is a bit sparse, making tetsu’s bass a bit hard to hear. "Fullmetal Alchemist" movie ending theme.

LINK

words: hyde/music: tetsu

"LINK", released as SINGLE, is also the OP of the movie version of "Fullmetal Alchemist", with a musical style It's still a typical POP ROCK, full of lightness, and it's also the first single from Group L's unreleased new album.

Blurry Eyes

words: hyde/music: tetsu

The opening song of the animation "D·N·A 2", the first song of the L group after their debut The original intention of the single and the animation was to make it famous, but its sales were not very satisfactory. Of course, it now seems to be an absolute famous song. This song perfectly showcases Hyde's outstanding voice.
