Born in March 1997, daoko first attracted attention as a 15 year old in 2012, for rap tracks she shared on NicoNico Douga, including a rap remix of the popular vocaloid song "戯言スピーカー" (Tawagoto Speaker) she posted. She joined LOW HIGH WHO? Productions and appeared on labelmate 不可思議/wonderboy's second album in the song "世界征服やめた" later that year, as she began to receive attention as the "15 year old high school girl rapper." She released her first album HYPER GIRL – 向こう側の女の子 - that December.
In September 2013, daoko collaborated with m-flo for the theme song of a commercial, and in the same month also released the UTUTU EP, produced by Pigeondust. On December 11, 2013, she released her 2nd indie album, GRAVITY. Her debut major album, titled DAOKO, was released 25 March 2015 through TOY'S FACTORY.

描いた 君の目 こっちみて 泣いてる目
ピンクの花弁落ちる 公園 鳴る金が教えてくれる5 時の音 隣の君のまつ毛が愛おしい 言葉にできない けど 君と二人で水溜りになってしまいたい 本音押 し付け 口を紡いだ 繋いだまま立った 手が 今 いま 何処へいったの？見当たらない 何処へ探せども見 当たらなくて 遠くの方でぼんやりと貴方の声がし た 振り向いたってもう駄目 落とした残り香だけ触 れられないし 目に見えないし 実態なき香り でも 懐かしいなあ なんでだろ 私は貴方が
描いた 君の目 こっちみて 泣いてる目
待って待ってと泣きじゃくる癇癪 子供のようにた だ駄々こねる 言葉は音に 喉からす 騒ぐ 程遠い鼓 動に伝えるために出来上がった 濁った色 逃げ込ん だ帰路には何もないの 霧が包むの私の身を 君と一 緒にいるようだ 嬉しい このままずっと一緒がいい な このままいっそ溶けてしまおうよ 死んだ目した 私の戯言 息吹きかけて 目覚めて盲目の塵 地に 雨 ねえ ねえ 君の隣で一人水滴となり ぽたぽたと床 に散っていく
描いた 君の目 こっちみて笑ってる目 愛は君だけ いまだけ 笑っていて
The lyrics of Daoko's song Fog express various complex emotions that the singer is experiencing. The opening lines say that there is a feeling of discomfort and uncertainty deep inside the heart. There is a sense of being lost, like a piece of meat in the puddle. Sometimes, the singer remembers the way a line was drawn, and how their fingers are interlaced with someone else's while wrapped in the fog. The singer is struggling with unstable emotions that keep repeating. There is a feeling of being lost, and the heart is rotting away, and there is a hole or gap in the heart. Everything hurts, and nothing heals.
The following lines seem to be from the perspective of the one the singer is talking to - the one who is the cause of the confusion and uncertainty. The singer remarks that even the eyes of the person they are talking to have become like puddles. The singer cannot articulate how much they love the eyelashes of the other person - they wish they could become a puddle together. The singer buried their real feelings inside and kept them out of sight - their hands intertwined but forlorn because they cannot find their way. The singer then wonders where the other person is, and although they can hear their voice faintly in the distance, they can no longer see them.
The final verse seems like a reflection of the desperation that is being felt throughout the song. The singer throws a tantrum like a child and lets out a cry of desperation, hoping to get the attention of the other person. The words that they speak are garbled and unclear, and they are left with nothing but a blurry memory of walking in the fog, alone.

Just incase you want to know the closest English lyrics I could find <3
Fog
This part of my heart is leaking
A puddle of festering falling feelings
A pile of meat called Human
Sometimes remembered shape of a deep line
Pinky promise with you
Me, covered in fog
A connection fit for the shape
The destination of these insecure feelings
What, are we going to repeat this again? Floundering,
The hole in my decaying long-gone heart is leaking air.
Someone's words just pierce it
Shameless opening and closing
Routine is avoiding, being deluded
The surface and the underside, which is which?
I can't even see.
You are fog, and the grasshopper cried, and cried.*
Painted, your eyes, look over here, crying eyes.
A park with falling pink flower petals
The sound of gold informs me. The sound of 5pm
Your eyelashes next to me are lovely
I can't put it in words, but
I want to become a puddle with you
Driven by true feelings, my mouth spun**, I'm tied, standing
Your hand, is now, now, where has it gone?
Can't be found, wherever I look it's gone
Far away, faintly, your voice calls out
But when I turned around, it was gone
Just a fallen aroma lingered
Because I can't feel, because I can't see
Reality-less scent, but, how nostalgic
Why, I wonder. For you, I...
Painted, your eyes, look over here, crying eyes.
"Wait, Wait" said sobbing passion
Just throwing a childish tantrum
The sound of the words dries up my throat
To convey a noisy, far-off, palpitation
Completed, cloudy color
There's no way back from running away
This mist that wraps up my body
Like I was with you. Pleasant.
Staying just like this would be so nice
Let's melt soon, just like this
Those dead eyes, my spouted nonsense, holding my breath
Waking up as blind garbage
A rainy day, hey, hey
Next to you I become a single drop of water
With a drip, drip, I scatter on the floor
Painted, your eyes, look over here, laughing eyes.
Love is just you, right now, laughing.

心のこの辺りがぐじゅぐじゅするのっていう歌詞
何故か衝撃的だった
@user-dg5eq5uk2g
脆くて不安定なこの声と世界観が好きです…暗いわけではないけど 悲しみしか残らない、そんなような曲ですね…大好きです。
@user-ot2ku6rb7x
渇き。高校時代腐るくらい忘れないように目に焼きつけるように沢山見た。なんでかは忘れた。いい話でもなんでもないのに、胸糞悪くて吐きそうになるのに、なんでかずっと見てた。小説もずっと読んでた馬鹿みたいに
