Earlier this month we received word that DAOKO would be releasing her second studio album “THANK YOU BLUE” on December 20, 2017, here in Japan. The album was set to neatly package all of the rising artist’s songs from her major debut up until now, offering a total of 14 tracks made available in either standard or limited edition format. Uploaded today to DAOKO’s official YouTube channel, we get a peek into the limited edition version of the album which includes seven music videos in total.
For the now 20-year-old singer and rapper DAOKO, the second album couldn’t possibly come at a better time. Perhaps for many, their initial encounter with her lyrical workings was the 2014 electropop spectacular “ME!ME!ME!,” a song made in collaboration with TeddyLoid. More recently than that, however, DAOKO was launched into the world of mainstream superstardom here in Japan following the release of her single “Uchiage Hanabi,” a song made to accompany the 2017 “Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom? ” anime film.
Set to be included in the limited edition of the album is the following:
