Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd.

Daiichikosho Co., Ltd. conducted a survey on the 2021 first half karaoke rankings for Communication Karaoke DAM and Karaoke@DAM for smartphones.

　The number one spot in the song-specific rankings went to Yuuri's 'Dry Flower.' This is an after-story of 'Kakurenbo,' Yuuri's first original work, depicting 'her' perspective after the events of 'Kakurenbo.' It became the first and fastest male solo song to surpass 300 million cumulative streams and topped the Billboard JAPAN 2021 first half Comprehensive Song Chart HOT100. ^*1 It was the most supported song in the first half of 2021, achieving such milestones.
　 The second place went to DISH//'s 'Neko.' This song ranked 4th in the 'Net-Originated Artist Song Ranking' and 6th in the 'Home Karaoke Ranking' categories of the 2020 DAM Annual Karaoke Rankings announced last November. The third place was Ado's 'Usseewa,' released as her first major digital single in October 2020.
　 All three top songs were not ranked in the 'Song-Specific Ranking TOP50' of the 2020 DAM Annual Karaoke Rankings but surged in popularity this year as many people sang them.

　Yuuri also ranked first in the artist-specific rankings. Currently, seven of his songs are available on DAM. ^*2 This indicates that the singing frequency of 'Dry Flower,' ranked first in the song-specific rankings, and 'Kakurenbo,' ranked 23rd, was particularly high. LiSA ranked second, and Official HIGE DANDism ranked third.

　In the karaoke rankings of the smartphone app 'Karaoke@DAM for Smartphones,' a service that allows you to enjoy karaoke at home, Yuuri's 'Dry Flower' also ranked first. YOASOBI's debut work 'Yoru ni Kakeru,' which was a massive hit last year, ranked second, and DISH//'s 'Neko ~THE FIRST TAKE ver.~' ranked third.

　This ranking was calculated by aggregating the singing frequency of communication karaoke DAM and Karaoke@DAM for smartphones provided by our company.
