Smile. Dk

Smile. Dk is a dance-pop/eurodance project from Sweden, known for its strong ties to the world of rhythm video games and Japanese compilations. The project has evolved over the years through several lineup and name changes.

Name variants associated with the project: SMiLE, SMiLE dK, Smile, Smile DK, Smile d.k., Smile dk., Veronica Of Smile DK, Zmile, smile, スマイル.dk, 微笑姐妹.

The lineup has included, in succession, Nina Boquist, Veronica Larsson, Malin Kernby, and Hanna Stockzell. From the provided information, Veronica Larsson is identified as the real name tied to the project and appears as an active member throughout its history.

Originally the group formed as SMiLE; in 2000, after Nina Boquist was replaced by Malin Kernby, the name was changed to SMiLE.dk. Although commercially presented as a Danish group, the project is Swedish.

Smile. Dk became known in part through licenses for the Dance Dance Revolution games and the Dancemania compilations in Japan, which helped its international visibility.

In 2005 the project went on hiatus due to personal events within the group. The reformation took place in 2008, organized around an American producer, and resulted in the release of the album “Party Around The World”. Subsequently, Malin Kernby was replaced by Hanna Stockzell; Hanna Stockzell left the group in 2010 to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Cecilia Reiskog.

Later, Cecilia Reiskog also left the project and Veronica Larsson announced she would continue to use the name Smile.dk as a solo artist, thus preserving the continuity of the project centered on her.

The discography and related announcements include reworked or new tracks and albums, plans for remixed “greatest hits” releases, an album title change to “Forever”, and singles such as “Moshi Moshi” and “Our Little Corner”. A song mentioned in the provided information is Boys (2017).
