Songs with titles starting with “De”. Handy for karaoke and shiritori! (11–20)
Daisy RainyJIJIM
JIJIM is a band active mainly around members from Yamanashi Prefecture.
While rooted in rock, their appeal lies in a musical style that blends a variety of genres, including pop and jazz.
They began activities in May 2022 and released their first album, “Root Beer!!!,” in June 2023.
They’re known for tracks like “Karasu Flight,” which earned power-play rotation on more than 10 radio stations nationwide, and “Stand By You,” provided for a commemorative film by Tsuru University.
They also unify all song titles in katakana—a deliberate choice meant to let listeners enjoy free interpretation.
Discord-discoTohru
A sophisticated track where a subtly ominous, bewitching melody dances atop glittering disco sounds.
It’s a work by singer-songwriter Tomei, who drew attention after being chosen as the lead vocalist for the theme song of the film Suzume.
The song seems to explore feelings of alienation and the unbridgeable distance from others, running counter to the euphoria of a glamorous scene.
The whispery, languid vocals, paired with a cool groove, create a delicious sense of dissonance.
Released in October 2023, the piece is also known for being produced by RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda, following Tomei’s debut single.
A gem of dark pop that fits both solitary nights of musical immersion and moments when you want to set a slightly more sophisticated mood.
dateSoma Saito
Soma Saito, who hails from Yamanashi Prefecture, is also making major waves as a voice actor.
He’s well-known for roles like Tenn Kujo in Idolish7.
He made his debut as a recording artist in 2017 with the single “Fish Story.” Centered on J-pop while incorporating alternative elements such as UK rock, he has carved out a distinctive position with his musical style.
His talent is the real deal—he won the Singing Award at the 16th Seiyu Awards in 2021—and his versatility is impressive, as he writes and composes his own songs.
With a delicate, sweet voice and a literary sensibility, he appeals not only to voice-acting fans but also to listeners who enjoy introspective music.
THIS IS ME:IRan Ishii
Ran Ishii is a Saitama-born performer who began studying dance in childhood and has drawn attention with her outstanding performances.
Since 2019, she has been active as a member of the girls’ performance unit Girls², and is also known for appearing in the TV drama Secret × Warrior Phantomirage!.
She later took on the audition program PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS, where she secured debut with a final ranking of 9th.
In April 2024, she took a new step as a member of the girl group ME:I with the single MIRAI.
Her sharp dancing—centered on her strength in popping—and stable vocal ability powerfully support the group’s performances.
Many are likely drawn to her dazzling presence on stage and strong sense of responsibility, as she also serves as sub-leader.
Deeper DeeperONE OK ROCK
The 2013 release “Deeper Deeper.” The vocal range in this piece is from mid2B to hiB, so the overall range isn’t particularly wide.
However, since the tessitura is very high, male singers should take caution.
Additionally, the highest note, hiB, appears more than 40 times in total, so vocal stamina is required.
Fortunately, there are very few sustained high notes, so focus on cleanly executing each high-voice phrase one by one.
DystopiaONE OK ROCK
The 2024 release “Dystopia.” Its vocal range is mid2A to hiD, which is quite high for male singers, but likely just right for female singers.
Since the lowest note is mid2A, there’s ample room to lower the key, so men should adjust the key with a focus on ease of producing the highest notes.
There’s a shouted long note near the end of the chorus, so be careful not to cough or let your voice get too thin at that point.

Day After Tomorrow64DX
For a companion to your late-night highway drive, I recommend a track by the four-member music project 64DX.
Released in August 2025, this piece comes from the group that drew attention with their album “64DX.” Its exhilarating yet comfortable beats intertwined with a lyrical piano melody are irresistible.
Ness’s melodious rap, which seems to depict complex feelings about tomorrow, will gently resonate with listeners’ hearts.
The track has strong support on the scene as well, with a release party held in Shibuya in September 2025.
Blending a chill vibe with a rushing sense of exhilaration, this emotional song is the perfect fit for solitary moments spent gazing at the night skyline.
