DAOKO’s “Onaji Yoru” (“Same Night”) features a melody that evokes a summer night in the city.

It’s included on her 2017 album THANK YOU BLUE.

DAOKO’s languid, slightly ennui-tinged vocals and the floaty yet steadily flowing melody create an atmosphere that seems to move past the loneliness of summer and almost accept that the season is ending.

There’s a detached, clear-eyed mood—whether it’s today in summer or autumn starting tomorrow, it’s just the same days and the same nights coming around.

Recommended for those who’d rather accept it and coolly welcome autumn than sink into melancholy.

A track by DAOKO that was used as the theme song for the mobile game Dragalia Lost.

It’s especially recommended for singers who are more comfortable with falsetto and mixed voice rather than belting high notes.

If you’re a high-voiced female singer who excels at a calm, relaxed vibe, definitely give it a listen.

You might struggle a bit with the rap-like parts such as the A melody, but you’ll be fine as long as you sing each word with care!
