Longing, poignancy, and strength of heartShinohara Ryōko
Released in 1994, this is Ryoko Shinohara’s fourth single.
Although it’s a song by Ryoko Shinohara, who was a member of Tokyo Performance Doll, the unit name is credited as “with t.komuro” because producer Tetsuya Komuro participated on guitar and backing vocals.
Initial sales were fairly standard, but thanks in part to its tie-in with a film, the single gradually gained momentum and ultimately won numerous awards, including the Japan Record Award in 1994.
On Oricon’s all-time singles ranking, it places 22nd.
