Teenage dreemDEEN

Released in 1995, this is DEEN’s sixth single.

The song’s theme centers on school events and memories.

While DEEN often features lyrics about the future and dreams, this track is also well-known for having lyrics written by Izumi Sakai of ZARD.

The lyrics characteristically express her style—capturing anxieties about the future while offering encouragement.

It’s one of those songs that makes you feel like you can keep doing your best.

Brand New WingDEEN

They usually have a plain, natural vibe, so this song felt cool in a way that’s different from their usual style—it really surprised me.

It was a bit of a shock.

I’ve always thought that even though they could go for a cool image, they usually keep it natural and let their vocal ability do the talking.

This kind of DEEN is nice, too.

This song also really stuck with me.

It was the theme song for a drama.

As expected, it’s bittersweet and really draws you in.

I think it’s a masterpiece packed with DEEN’s signature style.

It’s such a good song that I can listen to it over and over.

I was even able to sing it at karaoke.

The vocals are great, and the music is great too.

There’s a reassuring sense of security in his consistently solid singing ability.

It’s fascinating how he gets more handsome with age, and I love that his voice hasn’t diminished at all.

It’s a track I still listen to at home and in the car.

Back then, I often listened to it with my older brother.
