Be wanabeeKubota Toshinobu

A single released on October 1, 1990.

It was used as the theme song for TBS’s “Sekai Fushigi Hakken!” (“The Discovery of World Mysteries”), and its exotic tone matched the show’s image.

This song isn’t bad either, but perhaps because the album left such a strong impression, it feels a bit lacking in impact.

It peaked at No.

16 and sold 41,000 copies.

Their initial peak period was nearing its end.
