Background and release


"Mirai e no Present" was Nakayama's second collaboration single since "Sekaijū no Dare Yori Kitto" in 1992. Co-writer Okamoto performed backing vocals on the song; she later on self-covered the song as "Will... (Mirai e no Present)" on her 1997 album Smile.

The song was used as the theme song of the Fuji TV drama series Oishī Kankei (おいしい関係, A Tasty Relationship), which also starred Nakayama. The B-side, "Darlin", was used by Astel Tokyo on a commercial that also featured Nakayama.

"Mirai e no Present" peaked at No. 6 on Oricon's weekly singles chart, becoming her last career top-10 single. It sold over 409,000 copies and was Nakayama's last single to be certified Platinum by the RIAJ.[4][5][6]
