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.

あの子の中じゃ今もまだ圏外
恋愛 縁無い やっぱ焦んない
携帯からのミュージック安定剤
会社で接待 狭い世界
描いてた絵と観比べて目眩
あー、もー、こんなのありえない
煌めくネオン ゴミが光る街
老い知らぬ耳 信じてる証
チェックするニューソング
ディスコは宇宙 ムスクの香りの 君に夢中
無重力で浮遊 果てのない空間 ぷかぷか
ぐるぐるまわる惑星乗って
どこまでもゆけるよ
めくるめくミラーボール乗って水星にでも旅に出ようか
いつか見たその先に何があるというの
きらきら光る星のはざまでふたりおどりあかしたら
もっと輝くところに君を連れて行くよ
気になる boy は今夜どこに
たしかにパチパチ弾けた音
明日には忘れちゃうのかな
プラズマ 走る稲妻
くらくらしちゃうな
さらさら黒髪の艶やかさ
どこかで聞いたような歌詞状態さ
私が知らない夜はどこ?
あなたの知ってる朝が見たい
あの子は朝までクラブイベント
あいつは昼間も夢の中
許可なく侵入する日差し
クラブ帰りこもる耳の奥
結ぶ 鳴るスヌーズから
一転 進展 通知音 は 君の名前
めくるめくミラーボール乗って水星にでも旅に出ようか
いつか見たその先に何があるというの
きらきら光る星のはざまでふたりおどりあかしたら
もっと輝くところに君を連れて行くよ
めくるめくミラーボール乗って水星にでも旅に出ようか
いつか見たその先に何があるというの
きらきら光る星のはざまでふたりおどりあかしたら
もっと輝くところに君を連れて行くよ
水星にでも旅に出ようか
The song 水星 by DAOKO is a reflection on the fleeting moments of youth, captured by the singer while riding on a train. The lyrics describe the world within her phone and the mundane corporate world, where the singer compares the reality of her life with the dreams she once held. The song centers around a sense of longing for something more, for a world of endless possibilities where she can explore the vastness of space with the person she loves. She finds comfort in music, a source of stability in an otherwise unstable world. Throughout the song, there is a recurring motif of the "mirror ball," which represents the magic and mystery of limitless possibility.
The lyrics are filled with contrasts: the sun outside the train versus the darkness inside the phone, the mundane corporate world versus the exciting and magical world of space, and the fleeting moment versus the endless possibilities of a journey. These stand for the singer's desire to escape the confines of her mundane life in search of something more. The song's chorus also highlights this sense of longing as the singer wonders about what lies beyond, evoking a sense of adventure, hope, and desire for the future.
Overall, the song 水星 by DAOKO is a powerful reflection on the fleeting nature of youth, the search for stability and meaning in an unstable world, and the desire to explore the vastness of space with the person one loves.

For visitors from oversea.
Mercury
The sun shines down on the Odakyu Railway,
That girl's inside's are still now in outer orbit
No love, no fate. It's unavoidable.
The music from the phone is a dose of stability.
Reception at the company, a narrow world.
Comparing the looks to the picture I painted is dizzying
Oh come on, this can't be...
I want to Continue once again.
Gleaming Neon, town where trash sparkles,
Old ignorant ears. Trusting in the proof
Checking the new song.
Disco is space. Dazed by you and your musky smell.
Floating in zero gravity, endless room, floatfloat.
Riding the planet that spins round and round,
We can go wherever, oh oh.
Riding the dazzling disco ball, let's go somewhere, even to Mercury
You say you once saw something out there, beyond it.
It twinkles and shines, between the stars when we dance until dawn.
I'll take you somewhere even more brilliant,
That boy that caught my eye, where is he tonight
I think that's the sound of clapping bursting out,
I wonder if I'll forget it tomorrow.
Be plasma, a running flash of lightning,
I become giddy.
The glamor of silky black hair,
Lyrics like those I've heard somewhere before.
Where is the night I don't know?
I want to see the morning you know.
That girl had club events until morning,
He's within a dream all day,
Sunlight that intrudes without permission.
Returning from the club and secluding inside an ear
A 180 from the ringing Snooze alarm. Progress.
On the best friend notice, is your name
Riding the dazzling disco ball
Let's go somewhere, even to Mercury
You say you once saw something
Out there, beyond it.
It twinkles and shines, between the stars,
When we dance until dawn.
Somewhere even more brilliant,
I'll take you there.
Riding the dazzling disco ball
Let's go somewhere, even to Mercury
You say you once saw something
Out there, beyond it.
It twinkles and shines, between the stars,
When we dance until dawn.
Somewhere even more brilliant,
I'll take you there.
Let's go somewhere, even Mercury.
