single review: DAOKO “Moshimo Bokura ga GAME no Shuyaku de / Daisuki with TeddyLoid / BANG!”
People know of DAOKO from a variety of places. She’s got fans from her indie days, when she was just developing in the underground hip-hop scene. She’s got fans from a viral video known only as ‘ME! ME! ME!’. She’s got songs in anime (hello, Shingeki no Bahamut and Kekkai Sensen, I see you). She’s…
