TAKE IT BACKDa-iCE

Da-iCE is a boys group that enjoys overwhelming support from young people thanks to their phenomenal performances.

Rather than being just any mixed voice, it’s a powerful, full-volume mixed voice with real impact, so pulling it off requires considerable vocal ability.

A track notable for lyrics where complex emotions and self-reflection intersect.
Released digitally in April 2024, it’s a single by Daoko and a pre-release from the album “Slash-&-Burn.” Its danceable electronic sound, infused with retro-futuristic elements, is exceptionally stylish.
The worldview, where the boundary between reality and unreality blurs, resonates deeply with listeners.
Give it a listen when you’re in a contemplative mood.

This song is an apology to the man I ended up fighting with because of my own fault, and a poignant yet powerful declaration that without you, I can’t be anything.
Acknowledge and accept the stubborn side of yourself, and sing it with honest, heartfelt emotion.
HeavenDios

Formed in 2021, the three-piece band Dios is bringing a fresh breeze to Japan’s rock scene.
Tanaka’s distinctive lyrical world and vocal prowess, Ichika Nito’s exceptional guitar work, and sasakure.UK’s delicate keyboards fuse to establish a unique, genre-transcending sound.
Centered around internet-based activity, they have garnered strong support, particularly among younger audiences.
The diverse worlds shaped by each member’s individuality and technical skill, combined with deeply stirring melodies, resonate powerfully with listeners.
The band’s name carries a creatively rich meaning inspired by manga and Greek mythology, symbolizing Dios’s musical identity.
Tea For TwoDoris Day

Here is a relatively old standard number composed by Vincent Youmans, who also worked as a Broadway musical producer in 1924 for the musical No, No, Nanette.
With charming lyrics that imagine a future with a lover and an interesting sudden key change, this piece is often performed with Latin rhythms such as the cha-cha.
It might suit a female vocalist a bit better.
Angel’s RockDragon Ash

This is a song from Dragon Ash’s early period with a strong punk vibe—quite different from their now genreless activity that captivates listeners through a variety of approaches.
Along with the blasting volume and fierce beats, its menacing sound conveys the edginess of their early days.
At the same time, the beautiful harmonies and the cool tone of the vocals reveal aspects that connect to who they are today.
