Osaka 1989. At the age of 14, Yasu and Ka-yu, who went to school together, decide to form a band. The two recruit Kiyo and Chiba. The formation is Yasu on vocals, Ka-yu on bass, Chiba on drums and Kiyo on keyboard. For unknown reasons, Ka-yu then leaves the band and is replaced by Ino. In 1990, the band is given the name Okyan Teiisu.
In 1991, you joins the group as the new guitarist. The name Janne Da Arc is now adopted, inspired by a character from the manga Violence Jack, created by Go Nagai.
Chiba leaves the group for several months in 1992, and Shuji becomes the backup drummer for the band until Chiba returns. In that same year, Ka-yu returns, and the group begins their time as an indies band in the Japanese rock scene, recording their first demo tape in November. Two more demo tapes follow in 1993 and 1994. In 1995, Chiba leaves the band for good and Shuji becomes the permanent drummer.
In 1997, the 4 song demo tape Resist is recorded. Starting in 1998, we see the bands first CD releases: a trio of mini albums. The releases started with Dearly, followed by a re-recorded version of Resist (with 2 new songs), and finally CHAOS MODE in March of 1999.
After the release of CHAOS MODE, 1999 also brought about a turning point in the history of Janne Da Arc. The band was finally signed to a major label, Avex Trax, and their debut single as a major group, RED ZONE was released that May. The band then embarks upon their first tour as a major group, CHAOS ZONE. 2000 brings their first major album, D.N.A..
From then on, they were a major player in the rock scene as one of the best selling bands.
On January 26, 2007 the band announced that Janne Da Arc would be put on hiatus and the band members would be working on their solo projects.

何げにいつも
君からの電話が
ない事を教えてくれる
「気にならないよ 」と
自分にいい訳してみても
まだ眠れないから
嫌な夢さえ見れなくて いつも
いまいち手応えのない恋
何げないカケヒキと
さりげないテクニックも
お手上げ
謎めいた 心の中
冷めた君は mysterious
おどけた風な瞳も
すべて計算つくされたもの?
ワザとらしく
口づけを避けてみたりするのは
つかめない
君の気持ちの在りかを探してたから
強気な態度は
僕の心の弱さを隠せるから
無邪気な君に もう嘘つけない
官能的な瞳に
魅せられた
君の心の奥にいる devil or angel
とぼけたフリでもう
困らせないで 君には勝てない
感じてた
今までにはない かすかな喜びを
ふざけたフリでもいい
悔しいけれど
まだこの手は離さないで
何か1つでいい 安心させて
子供の様に
この恋までちらかさないで
謎めいた 心の中
冷めた君は mysterious
おどけた風な瞳も
すべて計算つくされたもの?
魅せられた
君の心の奥にいる devil or angel
とぼけたフリでもう
困らせないで 君には勝てない
The song "Mysterious" by Janne Da Arc is a reflection on the complexities of love and relationships. The singer of the song is struggling with feelings of uncertainty and insecurity in his relationship with a mysterious, calculating partner. The first verse describes a sleepless night after pulling a card, which is followed by the realization that his lover has not called as usual. The singer tries to reassure himself that he is not bothered by this, but he still cannot fall asleep, and he is frustrated that he cannot even escape into his dreams. The second verse describes the singer's attempts to understand his lover's feelings and to hide his own weaknesses, which he sees as a disadvantage. He is captivated by his lover's sensual gaze, but he is also aware that there is a devil or an angel hidden deep within their heart, making it difficult for him to comprehend their true motives.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "mysterious" and contrasts the singer's insecurities with his lover's calculated nature. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in awe of his lover's ability to manipulate him with small gestures, but he is also frustrated that he cannot keep up with their hidden agendas. The bridge of the song features a plea for understanding and security, as the singer asks his lover not to play games with his heart and to show him some compassion. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus, emphasizing the enigmatic nature of the singer's lover.
