DAOKO’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)

GAMEOVERDAOKO15rank/position

Daoko, a female singer who gained popularity on Niconico Douga.

She’s known for her genreless musical style, releasing tracks that span alternative, R&B, electropop, hip-hop, and more.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is GAMEOVER.

It’s an electropop track with a gothic vibe, and parts of the song incorporate hip-hop elements as well.

That might make it sound complicated, but the flow in the rap sections is simple, and the vocal lines have a relatively narrow range.

The track is structured with the instrumental taking center stage rather than the vocals, which also makes it easier to pull off.

It’s a single brimming with bittersweet charm, wrapped in a retro-futuristic vibe.

The poetic lyrics, depicting deep emotion and pain, leave a strong impression, delicately expressing self-loathing and complex love.

Daoko’s refined sensitivity and poetic flair truly shine, making this a work that resonates deeply with listeners.

Released digitally in April 2024, it’s a lead single from the album “Slash-&-Burn.” The danceable electronic sound is incredibly stylish—perfect for moments of introspection.

Be sure to add it to your playlist.

Burning away past pain and sorrow and embracing a new self—this powerful message runs through DAOKO’s song.

Included on the album “Slash-&-Burn,” released in May 2024, the track was written and composed by DAOKO herself.

With delicate arrangement by Hanyuu Maigo and DAOKO’s distinctive vocals, it crafts an introspective, emotionally rich soundscape.

It carefully depicts the process of breaking free from the negative emotions that hold you back, offering a song that gently stays close to the listener’s heart.

It’s a must-listen for anyone at a crossroads or ready to make a fresh start.

When creating Fog, it’s said that daoko wrote the lyrics from her real-life experiences at the time.

Precisely because she felt as if she’d been cast into the depths, the profound lyrics give rise to a worldview that seems to embody the darkness of human nature.

Her calmly delivered whisper vocals will pull you into a world of despair.

The subdued arrangement features only synthesizer and beats in the background, allowing the beauty of its simplicity to shine.

While it has an airy atmosphere, there’s a certain heaviness as well—making it a truly addictive track.
