Background

"Aibu" was one of two songs written by Matsumoto and Komuro (the other being "Norma Jean") for Unbalance+Balannce, which was in production since summer 1992 to the album's release on September 22, 1993. It was originally planned to be released as Nakamori's first single under MCA Victor, but "Everlasting Love" was ultimately chosen instead. "Aibu" was eventually selected as the double A-side of "Kataomoi", a song originally made popular by Mie Nakao in the 1970s.

Chart performance

"Kataomoi"/"Aibu" peaked at No. 17 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 133,900 copies.[3][4]
