Official HIGE DANDism – Sanitizer [Official Video]

A medium-tempo rock number by Official HIGE DANDism, released in December 2025 as their first non-tie-in work in about seven years.

As a song that signals the phase after their major third album, “Rejoice,” it purely shapes the music the band wants to deliver.

The lyrics depict the relationship between “I” and “you,” conveying the message that rather than unilaterally seeking salvation from the other person, it’s only by facing and overcoming one’s own weaknesses that one can truly stand beside someone important.

This aligns with the “purification” imagery suggested by the title.

It’s a song I especially want people struggling with relationships or looking to reexamine themselves to hear.

Shower

A love song that finds happiness in everyday life, “Shower.” This track was included on Editorial, released in August 2021 as the third album.

It’s a memorable song for its realistic depiction of a relationship that has settled and matured over time.

Overall, it’s a relaxed, whisper-like song to sing, so it shouldn’t tire you out compared to other tracks.

You might unintentionally push harder in the chorus, but if you keep your throat open and let the sound resonate, you can sing it without straining.

Give it a try!

Choral AOfisharu Higedan Dism60rank/position

Official HIGE DANDism – Choral A [Official Video]

“Choral A,” a renowned song by Official HIGE DANDism known as the theme song for the film “Offbeat Cops,” stands out among their works, many of which are grounded in Black music and can be highly challenging.

In this piece, however, the only element reminiscent of Black music is a phrase in the interlude that evokes Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke”; otherwise, such influences are absent.

The vocal line feels like orthodox J-pop, so the risk of going off-pitch should be relatively low.

That said, the song spans a somewhat wide vocal range, so take care there.

Also, because there’s a key change in the interlude, be mindful not to lose your sense of rhythm at that point.

fromis_9 ‘flaylist’ ‘Official HIGE DANDism – Pretender’ cover by Hayoung

You can’t talk about the late 2010s and early 2020s without mentioning the hugely popular band Official HIGE DANDism and their signature song “Pretender.” With over 600 million total streams, the track has been widely covered and loved in Korea as well.

It’s said that TXT’s Taehyun is a fan, too.

fromis_9’s Hayoung’s cover also drew attention—not only does she master Fujihara’s high notes, but her vocals have a clear, mint-like quality that beautifully captures the lingering resonance and the sound of Japanese.

It’s a song that reminds us of the power of music to transcend borders and connect people.

Amazing

A song by the four-piece piano-pop band Official HIGE DANDism, included as the B-side to their smash-hit single “Pretender.” Used as the opening theme for the travel variety show “#Kito-Kyun♡Traveler with T,” it features an arrangement that brings a rock sound to the forefront, delivering a different vibe from the A-side and really pumping up the energy.

Its arrangement, with both a sense of speed and weightlessness, seems to pair naturally with nightscapes.

It’s a rock tune that heightens the special feeling of a night drive and reaffirms Official HIGE DANDism’s broad expressive range.
