After D’ERLANGER’s disbandment, Kyo formed Die In Cries, had a solo career (see Kyo), and then formed BUG. After TETSU’s departure from ZI:KILL, which he had joined right after the disbandment of D’ERLANGER, TETSU formed BODY alongside his ex. D’ERLANGER bandmate CIPHER, and then the two of them later joined up with ex. ZI:KILL, Seiichi to form a new group, CRAZE. SEELA, D’ERLANGER’s bassist, formed Fix with ex. MAZERAN, Shoji, before later participating in Atomic ZaZa with fellow ex. Fix member and vocalist Tezya, before finally joining No Stars Innovation and departing from that band some years later in early 2006.
In December 2006 D’ERLANGER announced their reformation, and since 2007, they’ve been active again with many new albums: "LAZZARO" (2007) being the first of many that they have put out since their revival. They have been active since then and are releasing music to this day.

The lyrics to D'erlanger's song "La Vie En Rose" are very poetic and abstract, making it difficult to discern an exact meaning. However, there are some key phrases that can be explored to try and interpret the overall message of the song.
The opening line, "Sweet smell La Vie En Rose, miekakure suru psychedelic na pleasure" (which roughly translates to "Sweet smell La Vie En Rose, a hidden psychedelic pleasure") seems to be about an intoxicating experience that is both sweet and dizzying, like the scent of roses. The chorus repeats the title phrase "La Vie En Rose" which translates to "Life in Pink" and is a well-known French expression meaning to see life through rose-tinted glasses, to see things in an overly positive or unrealistic light.
Other phrases like "Sweet love La Vie En Rose, kinjirareta iroshai de imagination" (or "Sweet love La Vie En Rose, imagination with forbidden colors") speak to a love that is dangerous, forbidden, or taboo. The reference to Adam and Eve implies that the love is perhaps forbidden in a religious context. The overall mood of the song seems to be one of pleasure, desire, and a longing for something that may be unattainable or fantasy.
