Top 10 songs by day after tomorrow (greatest hits/popular tracks)
Lost Angelday after tomorrow
The ninth single by day after tomorrow, which entered the Oricon charts at No.
4.
Following “moon gate,” it also recorded long-running sales and is considered one of the group’s signature songs.
While many of their tracks go hard with bouncy, upbeat energy, this one stands out for misono’s richly expressive vocals delivered with a gentle touch.
The lyrics liken a lost love to “fragments of an angel,” reading almost like a piece of poetry.
Each phrase depicting scenes of a summer day evokes the depth of a love that has ended.
It was also used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Female Doctor Yuu: Aozora Clinic.”
for youday after tomorrow
In day after tomorrow’s bios, Mitsuru Igarashi is often credited as a collaborator.
Believe it or not, Igarashi—their sound producer—is a former member of Every Little Thing.
You can catch glimpses of that influence in day after tomorrow’s songs! The track “for you” is a slightly mature love song about feelings that overflow no matter how hard you try to hide them.
The lyrics for this song were also written by misono.
Lately misono has a bit of a wild-and-crazy image, but perhaps it’s a case of a wise hawk hiding its talons.
I’d love to enjoy more of misono’s lyrics!
Farawayday after tomorrow
The memorable debut single of day after tomorrow.
When I first heard this song, I was blown away by the quality of the music and the abundance of talent—“Is Avex a treasure trove of genius or what?!” This is exactly what it means to be on a meteoric rise! With this track, day after tomorrow won numerous awards, including New Artist of the Year at the Japan Gold Disc Awards.
This CD includes various remix versions—an impressive total of 11 tracks! Never mind analyzing the lyrics or the sound—this is a song you absolutely have to hear first.
An unquestionable No.
1!
Masterpieces and Popular Songs by day after tomorrow (11–20)
Dear Friendsday after tomorrow
It’s the last song for which misono handled the lyrics, with writer Yoshi also participating.
In the first minute or so of the music video, misono speaks directly to the viewers, and I truly want people who are feeling fragile or struggling with something to watch it.
I won’t explain the lyrics here because I want you to listen to the song with a fresh mindset, but it really makes you feel that growth always comes with pain…
It topped the Oricon daily ranking—you won’t regret giving it a listen!
More than million milesday after tomorrow
When you hear “day after tomorrow,” many people probably think of the blockbuster film The Day After Tomorrow.
Believe it or not, the ending theme song for the Japanese dubbed version of that movie is this track, “More than million miles.” The fact that it’s connected to such a global hit really reminds you how significant day after tomorrow is.
And the fact that it was released only as a DVD single is so quintessentially Avex—always ahead of the curve.
With a major tie-in like this, lyrics often end up being pulled in that direction, but that’s not the case with this song.
It’s a grand piece featuring violin accompaniment—if you haven’t heard it yet, you definitely should!
CURRENTday after tomorrow
It’s one of the most popular songs among fans, included on the fifth single “DAY STAR.” Since it was used as the commercial song for Morinaga’s frozen dessert ICE BOX, a lot of people have probably heard it! It starts with a gentle digital sound and hits the chorus right away—you’ll be drawn into the world of the song in an instant.
I hope even more people listen to it as a summer tune! The lyrics used in the commercial and the ones on the CD are actually different in the chorus.
It might be fun to Google and compare them!
fireflyday after tomorrow
I remember seeing misono on some TV show laughing as she said she didn’t mind at all being compared to Kumi Koda, her real older sister.
As you’d expect from sisters, their vocal timbres are similar.
You can truly savor that tone in this song, Hotarubi.
misono’s vocal ability, delivering the nuanced lyrics—readable as either heartbreak or mutual love—with gentle poise, is the real deal.
It deserves to be featured more as a winter staple.
The coupling track, Show time, is also highly acclaimed, so don’t miss it!
