Background


"Everlasting Love" marked Nakamori's return to the music industry after a two-year hiatus.

In the spring of 1993, Nakamori's management presented her Sakamoto's composition "Everlasting Love" and suggested she take a more contemporary direction in her music career.[2]

"Everlasting Love" peaked at No. 10 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 129,300 copies.[3][4] It was also certified Gold by the RIAJ.[5]
