Day After Tomorrow – Faraway PV

The memorable debut single of day after tomorrow.

When I first heard this song, I was blown away by the quality of the music and the abundance of talent—“Is Avex a treasure trove of genius or what?!” This is exactly what it means to be on a meteoric rise! With this track, day after tomorrow won numerous awards, including New Artist of the Year at the Japan Gold Disc Awards.

This CD includes various remix versions—an impressive total of 11 tracks! Never mind analyzing the lyrics or the sound—this is a song you absolutely have to hear first.

An unquestionable No.

1!

day after tomorrow – Stay in my heart

The unit name “day after tomorrow” literally means the day after tomorrow.

It packs in the excitement of how the day after tomorrow is even more unpredictable than tomorrow.

This song, “Stay in my heart,” is an unusual single that was released in a limited run of 10,000 copies.

If you have it, it might unexpectedly be a little treasure.

The use of “boku” as the first-person pronoun in the lyrics also feels fresh.

Pay attention to Daisuke Suzuki’s keyboards, which seem to sprinkle down snowflakes one by one, as well as Masato Kitano’s guitar, with its heartrending phrasing!

High-Spirit

This song was included as a secret track on the third single, “futurity.” Its synth-led pop-rock vibe is an all-out hype anthem that’s guaranteed to get the crowd going live.

The lyrics—“Even if you hesitate or lose your way, keep going on the path you believe in; even if you take the long way around, you’ll reach your own goal”—are a classic youth-spirited cheer song.

It even makes you think misono’s voice doubles the song’s energy! It’s a standout track that clearly shows the group’s direction—highly recommended from DeaF’s early period.

「vivace」　day after tomorrow

Vivace is a musical term used in classical music that means “lively.” True to that meaning, this is a very upbeat, fast-tempo song perfect for live performances.

The lyrics, which encourage you to lift your head and keep moving forward even when you’re sad, also feel fitting for this group’s identity.

When misono speaks her voice is a bit husky, but when she sings it’s incredibly clear! To me, she’s an absolute songstress.

It was also selected as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s program “blanc V.”

day after tomorrow(misono) – flower of youth (2003/JPN)

Included on the 1st studio album “elements,” released in 2003.

It’s a song that captures the search for a place to belong and for one’s dreams while enduring loneliness and anxiety in an unfamiliar city, expressing heartfelt, down-to-earth feelings.

The tenderness and hope that can only be conveyed because of that loneliness come through in the vocals and lyrics, creating a deeply moving effect.

gradually

It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s variety show “B.C.

Beauty Colosseum.” The song “gradually” isn’t just about graduating—it’s a heartbreak song about “graduating from you,” the person she loved.

It’s so bittersweet…

It’s included on the mini-album “day after tomorrow.” I really wish this song would reach a wider audience.

Misono also covered this track on her own solo cover album.

It might be fun to compare it with the Day After Tomorrow-era version.

day after tomorrow – CURRENT

It’s one of the most popular songs among fans, included on the fifth single “DAY STAR.” Since it was used as the commercial song for Morinaga’s frozen dessert ICE BOX, a lot of people have probably heard it! It starts with a gentle digital sound and hits the chorus right away—you’ll be drawn into the world of the song in an instant.

I hope even more people listen to it as a summer tune! The lyrics used in the commercial and the ones on the CD are actually different in the chorus.

It might be fun to Google and compare them!
