The Summer Without YouDEEN
DEEN’s 12th single, released in 1997.
Since it was also used as an ending theme for the anime Detective Conan, some of you might remember hearing it often back then.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that blends freshness with nostalgia, and its lyrics—looking back on summer memories with a lover who’s no longer here—strike straight to the heart.
What makes this song so compelling is that it’s not simply sad; it portrays the protagonist’s complex feelings, knowing they can’t go back yet secretly wishing for a reunion.
Miho Komatsu’s melodic line further enhances those scenes.
Teenage dreamDEEN
This is DEEN’s sixth single, released in March 1995.
The lyrics were written by ZARD’s Izumi Sakai, and the song was used as the opening theme for TBS’s “COUNT DOWN TV” as well as the image song for the 15th National High School Quiz Championship.
The work portrays a bittersweet yet poignant scene in which school-era friendship and dreams intersect with unspoken feelings for “you,” who smile beside a close friend.
The lyrical world, evoking images of an old school building, may vividly bring back a forgotten page of youthful days.

An iconic DEEN anthem that needs no introduction.
Released in March 1993, this debut track became their biggest hit.
With lyrics that vow a grand, unwavering love—“I want to love the one I love forever,” “My love for you will never fade”—it captured many hearts.
Whether you’re in the middle of a romance or enjoying happy days with your dearest partner, why not give it another listen? It will surely make the person before you feel even more precious.
LOVE FOREVERDEEN
A dramatic number that vows eternal love.
Just when you think it’s a heartrending ballad, it suddenly changes mood midway and picks up the tempo—many listeners were probably surprised the first time they heard it.
There’s an exhilarating feeling, as if the love held deep inside turns into certainty about the future and bursts into motion.
Released in December 1995, the song also became familiar as the ending theme for TBS’s “Super Soccer.” Interestingly, this work was the first title track composed solely by guitarist Shinji Tagawa, and it’s said there were various dramatic episodes during its production.
You’re Not Alone ~SKA Style~DEEN
Among DEEN’s songs, this is a motivational anthem loved across generations.
The original was released in April 1996 as their ninth single, and many will fondly remember it as the ending theme of the TV anime Dragon Ball GT.
After 20 years, it was re-recorded with a refreshing ska arrangement and included on the album Butterfly.
Its positive lyrics, which remind you that you’re never alone no matter how hard things get, will fill you with energy.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you’re taking on a challenge and feel your heart starting to waver.
JUST ONEDEEN
Released in July 1999, this work marked a major turning point for DEEN.
The lyrics and composition were handled by vocalist Shuichi Ikemori himself, and the song carries a warm message: everyone is imperfect, and that’s why we seek each other.
The arrangement builds from a quiet opening to a grand, soaring chorus, powerfully expressing a one-of-a-kind bond.
This track was an ambitious step as DEEN shifted toward a self-produced approach.
Beloved by fans as a wedding standard, it’s a love-filled, classic ballad.
Spread your wingsDEEN
DEEN’s second single, a song that captures the bittersweetness of parting and setting out, as well as hope for the future.

As the image song for Nippon TV’s soccer broadcasts, it reached No.
5 on the Oricon weekly chart.
The grand arrangement colored by strings and Shuichi Ikemori’s endlessly soaring vocals evoke a liberating feeling like taking flight into the vast sky—truly moving.
