Background

There are two music videos of Koko de Kiss Shite., and the video which she and her band members performed in the rose garden was adopted officially. The literal translation of song titles is slightly different from the official English title.[1]

It was the theme song for Koko de Kiss Shite, a drama produced for NTV's Shin-D series of dramas from March 2 to April 27, 1999. The song was also used as a theme song for the variety show Downtown DX. The song was covered as a part of a medley by Rie Tomosaka on the television show The Yoru mo Hippare on September 9, 2000. It was covered again by Tsuyoshi Domoto of KinKi Kids on their Fuji TV variety show Shin-Domoto Kyodai on July 3, 2005, and by D.H.Y (Dogs Holiday of Yawn) on their cover album Loves (2006).
