Background and composition


"Night Wing" is Kudo's first single to be released as a double A-side, with "Yukigasa". Her 1998 single, "Kirara", and its coupling song, "In the Sky", received a similar treatment, but was never officially released as such. "Night Wing" was written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima,[3] and arranged by Ichizō Seo.[4] The song marks Kudo's first collaboration with Nakajima in two years, since "Clāvis (Kagi)". It is described as a powerful midtempo song written by an invigorated Nakajima.[5] Lyrically, the song describes a protagonist metaphorically "spreading her heart-shaped wings and soaring through a windy sky" and ambiguously pondering about her contradictory actions and mixed feelings. The song is composed in the key of A-sharp minor and Kudo's vocals span from G♯3 to A4.


Cover version


Nakajima performed a cover of "Night Wing" in concert during her Enkai 2012-3 tour.[6] In 2014, a live recording of one of her performances of the song was included on the live album, Miyuki Nakajima "Enkai" 2012-3: Live Selection.[7]


Chart performance


"Night Wing" debuted at number 75 on the Oricon Singles Chart, with 1,000 copies sold.[8] The single charted for two weeks and sold a total of 2,000 copies.[9] It also charted on Billboard Japan's Top Single Sales chart, on which it peaked at number 88.[10]
