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.

Janne Da Arc Lyrics

もう 気が狂いそうで
真夜中の現実と夢
もう それさえもわからなくなる
ちぎれそうで 早く夢を見たくて
棘で毒を飲む 眠れない夜
心は壊れ考える事さえもできず
幻の中で何かをつかむまでは‥‥
退屈をもてあます日は
夜の街で風を切る
つまらない、じゃぁとりあえず
夜遊び上手な彼女の場所へ
ちぎれそうで
何がしたいわけじゃない
もう堕ちてゆくだけの 眠れない夜
心は壊れ考える事さえもできず
幻の中で何かをつかむまでは‥‥
帰らない
心は壊れ考える事さえもできず
幻の中で何かをつかむまでは‥‥
帰らない
心は壊れ考える事さえもできず
幻の中で何かをつかむまでは‥‥
帰らない
The song "Speed" by Janne Da Arc depicts a sleepless night full of restlessness and confusion. The singer describes how following the sleepless night feels like they are going crazy, not being able to differentiate between reality and dreams. The desire to fall asleep and dream quickly intensifies until it reaches a point where the singer wants to tear themselves apart. In the second verse, the singer is bored and decides to go out into the night. They go to a place owned by a woman who is good at night-time activities, but still feel restless and would do anything at that point to feel better. The lack of sleep and the inability to think straight are making the singer feel like they are losing their mind. They are stuck in a dreamlike state where they cannot fully grasp reality.
Overall, the song "Speed" offers a glimpse into the mind of someone dealing with insomnia and the accompanying feelings of helplessness and confusion. The lyrics portray the struggle of trying to get a good night's sleep and the consequences of not being able to do so, making it a poignant and relatable depiction of the difficulty of falling asleep for some people.

Si una noche sin dormir sigues
Sintiendo que vas a enloquecer
Incluso esos sueños y realidades
De medianoche no los entenderás más
Sintiéndote destrozado, quieres soñar lo más pronto
En las noches sin dormir bebiendo todo el veneno
No puedes imaginar ni las cosas que te rompen el.. uh uh corazón
Hasta que atrapes todo en medio de una ilusión.. uh uh no volverás
Cuando el tedio es inmanejable
El viento corta la ciudad por la noche
Qué aburrido.. a jugar por ahora
En el lugar donde ella es tan habilidosa
No quiero intentar hacer nada, ya me veré interrumpido
Solo cayendo en las noches de insomnio
No puedes imaginar ni las cosas que te rompen el.. uh uh corazón
Hasta que atrapes todo en medio de una ilusión.. uh uh no volverás
No puedes imaginar ni las cosas que te rompen el.. uh uh corazón
Hasta que atrapes todo en medio de una ilusión.. uh uh no volverás
No puedes imaginar ni las cosas que te rompen el.. uh uh corazón
Hasta que atrapes todo en medio de una ilusión.. uh uh no volverás
No puedes imaginar ni las cosas que te rompen el.. uh uh corazón
Hasta que atrapes todo en medio de una ilusión.. uh uh no volverás
