"Deepness" is a song recorded by Japanese singer Misia. It was co-written by Misia and Jun Sasaki and produced by Misia. "Deepness" was released as a single by Ariola Japan on November 7, 2012. [1] It is the theme song to the TBS drama series Ōoku: Tanjō - Arikoto / Iemitsu-hen, starring Masato Sakai and Mikako Tabe. [2]

Background and release

"Deepness" was released close to five months after Misia's previous single, " Koi wa Owaranai Zutto". It is the first of two back-to-back singles, both servicing the soundtracks of two installments of the Ōoku franchise. [2] It was released digitally in truetone format on October 12, 2012. [3] The first pressing of the physical release came in digipak format and included the password to a secret Ustream broadcast of a mini concert held on December 19, 2012 to celebrate the release of the single. [4] [5] The single features the B-side "Koi Gram", written by Satoshi Shimano, as well as two remixes by DJ Gomi of the title track and of Misia's rendition of Michael Jackson's " Heal the World".

Composition

"Deepness" is written in the key of B minor and set to a common time tempo of 77 beats per minute. [6] Misia's vocals span from A3 to E5. "Deepness" was written specifically for Ōoku: Tanjō. [7] Before writing the song, Misia brushed up on the world of Ōoku by reading the original manga in its entirety. [7] She was struck by the female shōgun and all-male ōoku, and felt that the reversal of gender roles depicted in the manga was something modern women could relate to. [7] Misia decided to write lyrics that revolved around the dedication of the ōoku and the outpouring of love for their one and only shōgun. [7]

Critical reception

EMTG Music's Yūichi Hirayama stated about "Deepness" that "the message is in the sound of the song itself" and compared it to the "crisp" sound of Misia's " Snow Song" (2003). [8] Hirayama described the song as being the "ideal vehicle" for Misia's voice. [8] He also praised Phil Tan for his work mixing the track. [8] CDJournal critics said the song was reminiscent of an Alicia Keys mid-tempo ballad and also praised Tan's contribution. [9] They described "Deepness" as "epic" but not too overwhelming so as to not put it on repeat. [9]

Music video

The music video for "Deepness" was directed by Sayaka Nakane and shot in early October 2012 in the Mongolian grassland. [7] The video took four days to shoot to completion. [7]

Chart performance

"Deepness" made its chart debut on the weekly RecoChoku truetones chart at number 15. [10] The song dropped six spots, down to number 21, on its second week. [11] It moved up twelve spots to number 9 on its third week. [12] On its fourth week, "Deepness" slid up one spot to number 8. [13] The song peaked on the truetones chart at number 6 the following week. [14] "Deepness" debuted on the weekly RecoChoku singles chart at number 2, [15] blocked from the top spot by Kana Nishino's record-breaking single "Always" (2012). [16] "Deepness" entered the daily Oricon Singles Chart at number 14 and peaked at number 11. [17] [18] The single debuted at number 15 on the weekly Oricon Singles Chart, with 5,000 copies sold. [19] It charted for ten consecutive weeks and sold a reported total of 12,000 copies during its run. [20] "Deepness" peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, [21] making it Misia's seventh top ten entry on the chart.
