Background


"Second Love" was originally written for Junko Ohashi as a follow-up to her 1981 hit single "Silhouette Romance" (シルエット・ロマンス, Shiruetto Romansu), but was passed on to Nakamori. Following the success of Nakamori's second single "Shōjo A", the director of her talent agency wanted the next single to be "Cancel!" (キャンセル！, Kyanseru!), as it was also written by Masao Urino. However, the rest of the agency were not enthusiastic about releasing the song, and it was decided that "Second Love" would be the third single instead. Akira Terabayashi, who was Nakamori's promotion manager at the time, wanted to show listeners her wide musical range with "Second Love".[3]

Nakamori has re-recorded "Second Love" for the 1995 compilation True Album Akina 95 Best and the 2002 self-cover compilation Utahime Double Decade. In 2010, she re-recorded the song for the pachinko machine CR Nakamori Akina: Utahime Densetsu ~Koi Moni Dome nara~ (CR中森明菜・歌姫伝説〜恋も二度目なら〜, CR Akina Nakamori: Utahime Legend ~If Love Is For the Second Time~).[4]


Chart performance


"Second Love" became Nakamori's first No. 1 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 766,000 copies, becoming the biggest-selling single in her career.[5][6]


Awards


"Second Love" earned Nakamori the Excellent Star Award at the 16th All Japan Wired Broadcasting Awards. In addition, the single earned Takao Kisugi the Grand Prix at the 3rd Japan Composition Awards.[7]
