This is the debut 7-inch single released in 1981 by Miki Asakura, who became a popular singer in the 1980s when her covers of "Flash Dance" and "Holding Out for a Hero" were used as theme songs for film. The A-side, composed and arranged by Yuji Ohno, a master of Japanese jazz grooves, is the best. This groovy track is arranged in a bossa nova style, and Asakura's vocal is an impeccable as she sings the sexy lyrics written by Machiko Ryu. It is only in Yuji Ohno's music that you can hear a melody similar to "Love Squall," the ending theme of Lupin III, which Sandii sang when she was working under the name Sandra Horn.
