Daoko's New Single 'Boku dake no Photon' from Her Upcoming Digital EP Now Streaming, with Music Video Out Now

Daoko released her new song “Boku dake no Photon” on September 24, 2025. This track is an advance single from her upcoming digital EP, scheduled for release on November 19, 2025.

The song features lyrics by Daoko, with composition and arrangement by x0o0x_ (pronounced Wakame), an up-and-coming artist with 1.22 million YouTube subscribers known for a mysterious presence and dark, atmospheric style. Together they create a unique soundscape that seems to turn fragments of the city and memory into light.

The jacket artwork was illustrated by Numata Zombie!?, a frequent collaborator with singers and Vocaloid producers. The psychedelic, vivid colors expand the world of the song and leave a strong impression. A music video featuring this artwork has been released on YouTube.
