THE LIGHTCrystal Kay
This song was included on the single “Kimi ga Ita Kara,” released in June 2015, and was featured in the commercial for Samsung’s Galaxy S6 / S6 edge.
It’s a powerful, Western-style hip-hop track with a strong, beautiful vocal that resonates.
†A V-kei-ish Song†Golden Bomber
It’s a popular song with lyrics and a melody typical of the visual kei style.
Since it sings about common experiences among visual kei band fans, there are probably many parts people can relate to—like the feeling of loneliness when a band makes its major-label debut.
The Path of RepentanceDoubt
When I first heard it, I thought it was a very easy-to-listen-to, wonderful song.
I really love the music video for this track, and since it was released in May, it feels like a song that blows away the May blues.
When I heard the news that the drummer at the time was leaving, I joined that year’s tour.
I’d never cried that much at a live show before, but I’m truly glad I was able to be there.
Now a new drummer has joined, but I still want to keep giving my full support to D=OUT as they continue to run forward.
The WatersMy Little Lover
The title track from the concept album “The Waters,” released in December 1998.
They would go on hiatus after this, and it feels like they wanted to try a lot of things before the break—the album is packed with experimental elements.
The title track “The Waters” is intriguing too, retaining a My Little Lover-like feel while also featuring some uncharacteristic aspects.
The AnswerDaichi Miura
This song expresses a man’s desire to chase after the lover he cherishes.
In the music video, the aching emotions are fully conveyed through freestyle dance.
Set to a serious melody, it’s a track where you can savor Miura’s graceful footwork.
The Days Sport With YouMiki Imai
It’s a bright, cheerful song.
I love the collaboration between Miki Imai’s joyful vocals and her husband Tomoyasu Hotei’s guitar tone.
It conveys the message, “I want to live with the person I love in every season!” It’s a track that makes you want to sing out loud with your best friends or your partner.
THE MUSICAkiko Wada
She’s a regular commentator on variety shows, so we don’t get to hear her sing very often, but her songs are surprisingly pop.
Thanks to her powerful voice, she has lots of tracks where she sings with up-and-coming hip-hop artists.
This song, too, captures a lively vibe that doesn’t show her age.
If you didn’t know it was her singing, you’d be wondering, “Who is this?”—it’s a charmingly light, slightly mysterious pop tune.
