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 tomorrow2rank/position
Set against the Sengoku period, the epic fantasy anime Inuyasha features many poignant ballads, but among them is a particularly standout pop-style ending theme.
Created by day after tomorrow, the track is marked by misono’s bright, soaring vocals and a bouncy beat.
Its lyrics, which straightforwardly express the thrill of falling in love, create a striking contrast with the anime’s weighty narrative.
Included on the 2003 single DAY STAR, it reached No.
6 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
Used from Episode 109 to Episode 127, this song brought a refreshing breeze to the show’s endings.

And what I can doday after tomorrow3rank/position
For anyone searching for “what they can do” for someone important, I highly recommend the works of day after tomorrow.

The single reached No.
4 on the Oricon weekly chart.
misono’s wistful yet resolute vocals align beautifully with the epic story.
You can feel the characters’ determination as they struggle with their own helplessness yet still try to move forward.
Many listeners will likely be moved to tears as they recall the game’s emotional scenes.
Please give it a listen while thinking of someone dear to you.
More than million milesday after tomorrow4rank/position
When you hear “day after tomorrow,” many people probably think of the blockbuster film The Day After Tomorrow.
Believe it or not, the ending theme song for the Japanese dubbed version of that movie is this track, “More than million miles.” The fact that it’s connected to such a global hit really reminds you how significant day after tomorrow is.
And the fact that it was released only as a DVD single is so quintessentially Avex—always ahead of the curve.
With a major tie-in like this, lyrics often end up being pulled in that direction, but that’s not the case with this song.
It’s a grand piece featuring violin accompaniment—if you haven’t heard it yet, you definitely should!
My faithday after tomorrow5rank/position
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!
for youday after tomorrow6rank/position
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!
Dear Friendsday after tomorrow7rank/position
It’s the last song for which misono handled the lyrics, with writer Yoshi also participating.
In the first minute or so of the music video, misono speaks directly to the viewers, and I truly want people who are feeling fragile or struggling with something to watch it.
I won’t explain the lyrics here because I want you to listen to the song with a fresh mindset, but it really makes you feel that growth always comes with pain…
It topped the Oricon daily ranking—you won’t regret giving it a listen!
