DEEN – Love Without Response (Music Video)

Released in November 1998, this is DEEN’s 16th single, also known as an advance single from the acclaimed album “The DAY.” It was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Kinniku Banzuke,” and as DEEN’s first release after changing labels, it’s a particularly significant work for the band.

Knowing it’s a love that can’t go anywhere, the protagonist is torn between guilt over throwing the other person into confusion just by existing and the feelings that keep growing stronger nonetheless.

Set to a wistful melody, Shuichi Ikemori’s vocals pour out a sense of helplessness that strikes the heart, making this a number with a strong rock flavor.

DEEN – Starlight Drops

A warm ballad that gently wraps around a tired heart.

Included on the album “UTOPIA,” released in November 2003, this song portrays the protagonist’s deep love for someone dear who lives far away.

Many listeners will likely be moved as the quiet piano intro swells into a grand band sound layered with strings.

This piece was created as the theme song for the film “Kimi no Mama de,” in which members of DEEN themselves appeared.

If you ever feel like you’re pushing yourself too hard on your own, give it a listen.

A Midsummer Night’s DreamDEEN52rank/position

DEEN “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” Music Video Short Ver.

I’m amazed that you’re singing this song, but when Mr.

Ikemori sings it, it sounds so refreshing.

It’s surprising since he’s a man.

It’s powerful too, and it makes me want to keep listening.

It’s incredible how it even sounds like a new song.

I’d love to hear more covers.

Dormant PassionDEEN53rank/position

Passion That Remains Asleep [DEEN]

I was surprised to hear him shout so intensely like that—his voice is amazing and really cool.

He has so many great songs, so I wish he’d appear on TV more and sing.

Compared to today’s music, I feel the songs from that time had more heart and soul.

DEEN – Let the Wings Ride the Wind ~fly away~

A pop number that sings about a positive feeling of overcoming past pain and doubt and spreading your wings toward tomorrow once again.

Shuichi Ikemori’s clear, translucent vocals ride atop a warm sound gently wrapped by strings, as if giving you a gentle push forward.

Released in April 2003 as the 25th single, this track was used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Kiseki no Tobira: TV no Chikara.” When you want to take a new step or your heart feels a little tired, listening to it will surely give you courage.

Blue WarriorsDEEN55rank/position

DEEN Blue Warriors

It’s a mellow, listenable number.

The singing showcases that distinctive DEEN-style voice.

Fitting for the album’s final track, it has a great atmosphere—subdued yet imbued with a sense of strength.

It reminded me of the time when I used to listen to this album a lot.

Entrust me with eternity.DEEN56rank/position

Entrust me with eternity DEEN × Seiichiro Kuribayashi

DEEN is a rock duo that gained popularity as part of the Being label artists who dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s.

Their song “Eien wo Azuketekure” (“Entrust Me with Eternity”), featured in an NTT DoCoMo ‘Pocket Bell’ commercial, is a soothing ballad with a clear, wintry feel that evokes Christmas.

The overall key is high, and the leaps in pitch in the chorus are particularly striking, so when singing it at karaoke, be sure to choose a key that suits you and take care not to go off pitch.

It’s a timeless classic that men in their 40s—who likely heard it in real time—will undoubtedly feel like singing.
