SINGLE "FUNKEYS"
To coincide with their 11th anniversary "Da-iCE DAY 2025," they will release their first package single in three years, "FUNKEYS"! It has also been confirmed that the new song "FUNKEYS" featuring Akiko Wada will be included!
Da-iCE, whose single "I wonder," released in April last year, surpassed 100 million total streams on streaming services in just four months—the fastest ever for them—and who achieved their long-held dream of making their first appearance on the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen at the end of the year, are releasing their first physical single in three years to coincide with "Da-iCE DAY 2025," a 3-day event starting January 15th next year to mark their 11th anniversary!
The album will also include a new song, "FUNKEYS," featuring Akiko Wada, one of Japan's leading singers and known as the queen of Japanese R&B!
The lyrics and music were written by Taiki Kudo, a member of Da-iCE who has also contributed as a songwriter to their representative songs such as "CITRUS," "Star Mine," and "I wonder."
<Comment from Taiki Kudo >
We went through a lot of trial and error during the production process, trying to figure out how to best combine Akiko Wada's wonderful singing with our performance. I think we've created a unique song that blends elements of J-pop and funk.
In addition to the two new songs by "FUNKEYS" and "FUNTASISTA," the DVD and Blu-ray will also be available with bonus features including about 130 minutes of live footage from the "ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2024" performance in August and the final performance of the "Da-iCE 10th Anniversary Live House Tour 2024" held to commemorate the 10th anniversary!
