"Kaze/Okuru Kotoba" is a double A-side single released as the first of two back-to-back singles.[1] The single was issued in CD+DVD format only.[2] The DVD features the music videos for both A-sides. Like "Ai no Tame ni." before it, "Kaze" was composed by Tetsurō Oda, however this time the lyrics were written by Yoshiko Miura and the track arranged by Nobuyuki Shimizu.[2] The song served as ending theme for the 12th season (80 episodes) of the long-running educational anime series Nintama Rantarō, which aired from April 5 to July 23, 2004.[3][4] The chorus of the song features the vocals of the unit Kotsubu-gumi, which consists of the three youngest members of the idol group Bishōjo Club 31.[5][6] Barks described the sound of "Kaze" as "Shōwa reggae," while CDJournal called it a "fun Okinawan-chic pop song" and complimented Ueto's "steady" vocal delivery.[7][8]

The second A-side is a cover of the Tetsuya Takeda-led folk group Kaientai's 1979 hit "Okuru Kotoba."[7] The cover, which was initially recorded for Ueto's second studio album Message, was released as an A-side after being chosen as the theme song for the video game adaption of the TBS drama 3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei.[9] The single version is a newly arranged acoustic rendition of the song.[7] At a press conference for the video game, Ueto and Takeda, who starred together in the sixth season of the series, performed a duet of the song.[10]


Chart performance


"Kaze/Okuru Kotoba" debuted on the Oricon Daily Singles chart at number 6 and climbed to number 5 the following day.[11][12] It peaked at number 8 on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart, with 21,927 copies sold in its first week.[13] The single charted for ten weeks and has sold a total of 44,240 copies.[14][15]
