Da-iCE explores emotional truth in new single Nonfictionsノンフィクションズ

Da-iCE’s latest single, Nonfictionsノンフィクションズ, dives into the silent weight of living behind appearances. In a world dominated by filters and false perfection, the five-member J-pop group delivers a bold, emotionally resonant anthem that questions what is real and what is simply for show.

Known for their dual-vocal style and genre-blending sound, Da-iCE shifts into a more introspective gear with this track. The song is built around pulsing electronic beats and layered harmonies, capturing the internal tug-of-war between outward composure and inner doubt. Rather than depicting dramatic breakdowns, it focuses on the subtle disconnects that come from always pretending to be okay.

Stylized visuals reflect the pressure to perform

The music video for Nonfictionsノンフィクションズ intensifies the song’s message through striking visuals and choreography. The stylized, almost surreal imagery represents the curated versions of ourselves we show the world, while the performance reflects inner conflict and the desire to be seen authentically.

With Nonfictionsノンフィクションズ, Da-iCE has crafted one of their most cohesive and thought-provoking releases to date. It’s a powerful reminder for a generation constantly navigating curated identities and hidden pain — sometimes, the most honest thing we can do is admit we’re not okay.
