"Dame Dame da" (だめだめだ, lit. 'No Good, No Good') is a song by Japanese singer Shiori Tomita, written by singer-songwriter Ai Otsuka. The song was released as Tomita's fourth single on December 10, 2014, through Epic Records Japan.[1]
Similar to her previous single "Happy and Happy", the title track of this single was written and produced by Ai Otsuka, becoming the second time she provides a song for Tomita.[2][3]
The single was released on two formats: a limited edition and a standard edition, with the limited edition including a bonus DVD with two versions of the song's music video.[1]
The song was subsequently included on Tomita's debut album Moshimo World.[4]
Composition and themes
Upon its release, the song was described as a "cool, negative rock number" that diverged from Tomita's established public image, offering a fresh and edgier sound,[3][2] and has a fast-paced, energetic feel, defying the seemingly pessimistic tone suggested by its title.
Its title, written in hiragana, is a palindrome in Japanese, which can be read the same forwards and backwards.[1]
Music video
The music video for "Dame Dame da", directed by Masakazu Fukatsu, was shot in a single take and focuses on Tomita's facial expressions as she performs the song.[5]
Promotion
The song served as ending theme for the anime series Naruto: Shippuden, which began airing on TV Tokyo on October 2, 2014.[2] This became the first time that Tomita was appointed to perform a theme song for an anime series.[6]
