Collection of Song Titles Starting with 'Da' [Dai-○○, Diamond, etc.] (1–10)
DarlingNEW!Mrs. GREEN APPLE
This song was written as the theme for the special program “Mrs.
GREEN APPLE 18 Festival” broadcast on NHK General, and was released digitally in January 2025.
It faces the honest feelings of 18-year-olds, singing about the struggle and hope of staying true to oneself.
While carrying loneliness and anxiety, it portrays the effort to move forward little by little through connections with others.
The modulations are particularly striking, with the key stepping up from the A and B sections into the chorus, and then toward the final chorus.
It’s a must-listen not only for young people standing at life’s crossroads, but also for anyone who wants to take a fresh look at themselves.
DarlingNEW!TRACK15
TRACK15 is a rock band from Takatsuki, Osaka Prefecture.
This work they created is a love song that portrays the contradictions of one-sided feelings—wanting something yet being unable to say it.
It pairs a catchy, straightforward melody with a dynamic band sound, carrying a forward-driving energy even as it holds onto a sense of longing.
Released in December 2025, it drew attention when it was selected as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “What’s Wrong with Being Slightly Crafty?” in the January 2026 season.
It blends the immediacy of pop with lingering afterglow, and is sure to gently resonate with anyone struggling with the realities of love that just won’t go right.
It’s a pop tune also recommended for when you want to immerse yourself in a brisk, exhilarating soundscape.
DiamondNEW!Kamenashi Kazuya
After making his mark as a member of KAT-TUN and then achieving great success as a newscaster, Kazuya Kamenashi has been actively pursuing solo musical activities lately.
Among his works, I especially recommend “Diamond.” It has a refreshing sound that feels slightly Heisei-era, and unlike many recent tracks, it doesn’t rely heavily on falsetto.
Kamenashi’s timbre may make it seem high, but the range isn’t particularly wide, so I think anyone can sing it comfortably.
If you want a more contemporary vibe, I personally suggest adding some shouts and singing it with more intensity—give it a try.
Who who whoNEW!Aina ji Endo
An alternative rock track that incisively captures the malice and conflict lurking in an anonymous society, cutting straight to the heart.
Aina the End wrote and composed it herself, and with her raspy, emotional voice she sings about the violence inherent in words on the internet and the sorrow of people who hurt one another.
The feeling of being tossed around by words whose speaker is unknown, on the verge of losing oneself, comes across with urgency over the tense sound.
Released in February 2021, the song was chosen as the opening theme for the drama “Anonymous: Keishicho ‘Yubisatsujin’ Taisakushitsu.” It was also included on the EP “Naisho,” released the following month in March 2021.
It’s sure to resonate deeply with anyone exhausted by words on social media or longing to lean on someone’s kindness.
Lots of loveNEW!NEUTRINO
It’s a bright, friendly pop song packed with the excitement of children discovering what they love.
Alongside everyday fun like singing and drawing, it carries a gentle message that quietly stays close to feelings of anxiety.
This piece was released as the Monthly Song for NHK E-tele’s “Okaasan to Issho” in September 2025, and it will also be included in a video collection of a year’s worth of Monthly Songs in April 2026.
There’s also a cover video using NEUTRINO’s singing voice synthesis, which lets you really savor the straightforward melody—it’s wonderful.
With a rhythm that’s easy to clap along to, it’s perfect for time spent singing and dancing together with parents and children.
Please enjoy a wonderful time filled with smiles for everyone.
Untitled TodayNEW!Hirai Dai
This is a medium-tempo number by Dai Hirai that affirms the small joys of everyday life.
It’s included on the album “Life Goes On,” released digitally in February 2021, and was also used as the TV commercial song for Nomura Holdings.
It reminds us that even an ordinary day without any special events holds value that leads to the future.
Warm, gospel-inspired choruses layered with acoustic tones gently wrap around the heart.
Give it a listen on days when things don’t go your way and you feel down, or when you want to appreciate the preciousness of everyday life.
You’ll feel the tension ease from your shoulders and find the courage to take small steps forward again starting tomorrow.
nth dimensionNEW!Satsuki
A Vocaloid track that fuses a philosophical worldview with an aggressive sound.
It’s a song by Satsuki, the Vocaloid producer also known for “Mesmerizer,” released in October 2025.
A hard-hitting beat, glitchy synths, and tight vocals intertwine to create a powerful, stylish sound.
The lyrics carry a burning resolve to break through the walls of reality and reach for one’s ideals, giving listeners a strong push forward.
Give it a listen when you want to realign with your core.
