ChanceKomatsu Miho
Miho Komatsu’s “Chance” was written as a theme song for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV.” It wasn’t supposed to be released on CD, but there were so many inquiries that they hurriedly decided to put it out on CD.
That’s quite a quirky episode.
The Moon and the SunTUBE
“Moon and Sun” is TUBE’s 34th single, released in 2001.
The lyrics were written by vocalist Tohru Maeda, and it’s a beautiful song whose words liken a man and a woman to the moon and the sun.
Maeda married Naoko Iijima but later divorced, and he is currently single.
