TERMiNaL by Da-iCE
Da-iCE’s TERMiNaL blends a wide array of sounds and stories, combining previously released hits with fresh material. The album features the funk-driven dance track “FUNKEYS” with Akiko Wada, the TV Asahi drama theme “Black and White”, and “Nonfictions ノンフィクションズ”, the 2025 Summer High School Baseball Support Song and Nettō Kōshien theme that gained nationwide attention.
In addition, six new tracks – “TERMINAL,” “OLD meets NEW,” “Try&Groove,” “Before the Lullaby ララバイの前に,” “That you know?” and “Past days” – expand Da-iCE’s evolving musical identity.
Several new tracks highlight a creative shift, with members forming unit pairings and co-writing “OLD meets NEW,” “Try&Groove,” “Before the Lullaby ララバイの前に,” and “That you know?” themselves. The album also includes a bonus: a newly rearranged version of “Live goes on” from their 2018 album BET, re-recorded by all members to reflect their growth as they approach their 15th anniversary. These collaborations and reinterpretations showcase the group pushing their artistry forward while honoring their past.
Momentum continues with the teaser for the title track “TERMINAL”, released on YouTube. Co-produced by members Taiki Kudo and Yudai Ohno with rising producer MONJOE, the song fuses terminal-inspired sounds with dance-driven energy, perfectly reflecting themes of departure, transition, and renewal.
As Da-iCE prepares for their nationwide ARENA TOUR 2026 – TERMiNaL, the album asserts their current identity and signals that the next stage of their journey is already in motion.
