Sota Hanamura shares the spotlight with Airi Suzuki in “Dejavu,” his latest digital single and first solo collaboration.
Multi-talented artist Sota Hanamura begins the next chapter of his musical journey as he officially debuts as a solo artist this year. Despite thriving as a member of Japanese group Da-iCE since 2011, he fearlessly takes on this new challenge with confidence and style.
After his pre-debut album ASCEEENSION dropped in June, Sota returns with “Dejavu,” an electrifying collaboration with singer, actress, and model Airi Suzuki. The digital single released on August 18 brings the two vocal powerhouses together for a spellbinding duet.

You and I
We’re going in circles
Talking round and round
Filled with playful tension, “Dejavu” captures the push-and-pull dynamics between people with distinct personalities. Whether in love or in life, it accurately reflects the frustrations and thrill of facing someone you feel strongly for. The song is particularly powerful, with Sota and Airi feeding off each other’s energy and showcasing their natural chemistry built through years of friendship.
“Dejavu” was also produced by A.G.O, who’s well known for working alongside renowned artists such as Ayumu Imazu, Furui Riho, SIRUP, and King & Prince. His bold production gave the track its captivating groove, pushing both artists to their full potential.
Born for the Stage
Sota Hanamura’s latest major milestone was his first-ever solo concert at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan, which happened a day before the release of “Dejavu.” However, lucky attendees got to witness a special live performance of the single with Airi that same day.
Since the start of the year, Sota has consistently shown his growth as a soloist and the lengths he’s willing to go to achieve his goals. As he continues his musical journey, fans can expect far more surprises from the artist in the coming months.
