La'cryma Christi (Latin for "The Tears of Christ") is a J-Rock band, which formed in 1994 and disbanded in January of 2007.

The band was originally formed under the name of Strippe-D Lady in 1993 by vocalist and leader Taka with his college friend, Hiro. The two friends held a small audition in Kansai to find new talent for the band. And the result, they recruited Koji and Levin who were high school friends, and a bassist Kita-J. This Osaka based indie band played hard rock and heavy metal during this time period. In October 1994, Kita-J decided to leave the band and was replaced by Shuse.

After this the band changed their name to La'cryma Christi before releasing their first single, "Siam's Eye" on a local indies label in 1994. The band moved to Tokyo in 1996, releasing their first mini album, Warm Snow which sold 15,000 copies. In 1997 they signed with a major label and debuted with Ivory Trees. Their single "Mirai Koro" was used as the ending for the anime Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective and reached #3 on the Oricon singles chart.

They founded their own label, Majestic Ring, in 2003. Koji left the band in March 2005 (after a gig on the 21st), and in September 2006, the band announced that they will officially disband in January 2007.
