Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Noir fleurir's "STYLE" set a hopeful tone, with the singer asking what kind of future awaits them and their companion. However, they note that adults seek to conform to a perfect "STYLE," while the singer hopes that everything will mesh together like cogs in a clock. The song then addresses a divine figure, asking them to listen and preserve the moment. The singer acknowledges the monotony of daily life, prompting them to cling a little longer to the joys of childhood, when dreams are still within reach.

As the song progresses, the singer confesses their anxieties about the future, wondering what will remain as the night fades into day. The presence of their companion is reassuring, however, and they celebrate their shared experiences, promising that the night sky will never be bleak with so many fond memories. The singer then turns back to the divine figure, asking them to listen one last time as they, and everyone else, create their own meaning in a world that can be both black and white.

This song is a representation of the band's "visual kei" style, mixing elements of punk rock and glam rock with Japanese fashion. Noir fleurir literally means "black flowers" and they often wore dark clothing and makeup during performances.

"STYLE" was released as a single in 2006 and was also included in the band's album, ANTHOLOGY.

Noir fleurir disbanded in 2007, but their style inspired many other visual kei bands.

The band's vocalist, Nao, was known for his androgynous appearance and high-pitched voice.

The song's music video features the band performing in a dark, industrial setting with flashing lights and heavy fog.

The lyrics of "STYLE" were written by guitarist, Daichi, and the music was composed by bassist, Yuukou.

Noir fleurir was formed in 2002 and released three albums before disbanding.

The band's name was chosen because the members felt that "Noir fleurir" represented the tension between beauty and darkness.

"STYLE" was often performed at live shows and was a fan favorite.

The chords for "STYLE" are not available.

Despite only being together for five years, Noir fleurir had a significant impact on the visual kei music scene in Japan.
