Background and release


Production of "Love Clover" began when Glay guitarist Takuro recorded a demo and Nakayama answered a request for a female singer to do the vocals. As Glay was busy producing their fifth album Pure Soul, the vocals and instrumentals were recorded at separate studios, with Nakayama and Takuro communicating through telephone and fax exchanges. Glay lead vocalist Teru has an uncredited role on backing vocals. The song was used as the ending theme of the NTV variety show Merengue no Kimochi (メレンゲの気持ち, Merenge no Kimochi, Merengue Feelings).

"Love Clover" peaked at No. 14 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 38,000 copies.[4][5] It was also Nakayama's last single to be certified Gold by the RIAJ.[6]
