Da-iCE

Da-iCE, a Japanese male vocal and idol dance group formed in 2011, consists of two singers and three dancers. Pronounced as "dice," their name symbolizes the members as five sides of a die with their fans as the sixth, while "a-i" stands for the Japanese word for "love." Singers Sota Hanamura and Yudai Ohno have a four-octave vocal range akin to artists like Whitney Houston and Serj Tankian. Da-iCE achieved 16 consecutive Top 10 hit singles in Japan starting with 2014's "Shout It Out," and they closed their tour for their album "Every Season" with a concert at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan arena in 2017. Additionally, Sota Hanamura landed the starring role of Mark Cohen in a Japanese production of the Broadway musical "Rent" in 2020.
