They’re also known for having misono—who’s active as a solo artist and TV personality—as their vocalist.
Leveraging misono’s strong vocal ability, their biggest appeal lies in songs that center on her voice, complemented by synth-driven sounds and exhilarating rock arrangements.

Top 10 songs by day after tomorrow (greatest hits/popular tracks)
Starry Heavensday after tomorrow
A song that serves as the sixth single, “moon gate,” and also opens their second album, “primary colors.” It was used as the image and theme song, as well as the commercial song, for the video game Tales of Symphonia, becoming day after tomorrow’s biggest hit single.
The distinctive melody that starts right from the chorus hooks the listener, reaffirming vocalist misono’s impressive singing ability.
With its robust guitar sound and delicate synths enhancing the beauty of the melody, this is one of day after tomorrow’s signature tracks.
Mischievous Kissday after tomorrow
day after tomorrow went on hiatus in 2005, but they never officially broke up.
Even if you’re not a fan, it’s exciting to think about the more mature members returning to activity.
This song was used as an ending theme for Inuyasha, one of the representative works of Rumiko Takahashi—who churned out hit manga like Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku.
It meshes perfectly with vocalist misono’s tone and, in my opinion, best captures the breezy exhilaration of the day after tomorrow sound.
The lyrics feature a slightly mischievous girl who somehow brings misono to mind, don’t you think? It’s a track that lets you reminisce about the old days alongside a hugely popular anime.
And what I can doday after tomorrow
It feels like misono’s image took a new direction after she appeared on Nippon TV’s variety show “Quiz! Hexagon II.” But when you see her singing at a-nation or at her live shows, she’s incredibly powerful.
No matter what kind of persona sticks, I think her “lovable character” is everlasting.
This song, “Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto” (“And Then, What I Can Do”), is packed with all of her best qualities.
A slightly moody A-melody, a brisk, well-paced B-melody, and a chorus that belts out with total satisfaction.
It’s the quintessential day-after sound! It’s a track that really makes you think so.
For those who haven’t encountered Day After yet, I’d love for you to start with this song.
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!
graduallyday after tomorrow
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s variety show “B.C.
Beauty Colosseum.” The song “gradually” isn’t just about graduating—it’s a heartbreak song about “graduating from you,” the person she loved.
It’s so bittersweet…
It’s included on the mini-album “day after tomorrow.” I really wish this song would reach a wider audience.
Misono also covered this track on her own solo cover album.
It might be fun to compare it with the Day After Tomorrow-era version.
My faithday after tomorrow
day after tomorrow’s songs were often tied in with TV dramas and commercials, so whenever I hear them, they really bring back memories of that time.
This song was also used as the ending theme for the Monday 9 p.m.
drama Home & Away starring Miho Nakayama.
I remember finding the drama really interesting—it felt like watching a long road movie.
Did you watch it? The lyrics are straightforward and can be taken as the monologue of a woman affirming eternal love.
The vocals are by misono!
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.
