D.A.T have announced earlier this year that they were working on a third single. For those who were at Marine Super Wave Live 2014 (MSWL), where ELEKITER ROUND 0, M.O.E, TAKA, Black Velvet and D.A.T performed, or even those that went in contact with the setlist for that show know that D.A.T played a new track at the time titled “CHANGE THE WORLD“. Many speculated that this would be the new single’s title, but since many things are subject to change in the months prior to release, there was no confirmation regarding the definite title until now.
The duo premiered their new track with a few months left until its release in that show. “CHANGE THE WORLD” is, as confirmed, the new single by this electric duo that, so far, hasn’t disappointed at all with their highly danceable singles. “Nocturne~Drastic Dance~” as well as their well known debut “VS” are the singles released so far by Daisuke Ono and Takayuki Kondo‘s project based on their radio show Dragon & Tiger 夢冒険.
Marine Entertainment (D.A.T’s label) has announced on their Twitter account the details regarding the release, still set for this year but without a fixed date of release:
