Background and composition


"Setsu Getsu Ka" was written by Miyuki Nakajima and arranged by Ichizō Seo.[1] It marks Kudo's second single to be produced by Nakajima and Seo, the first being "Gekijō". The song is composed in the key of B minor and Kudo's vocals span from B3 to A4 in modal voice, and up to C5 in head voice. Lyrically, Nakajima writes about a protagonist's frustrations with a lover unwilling to be vulnerable with her, imploring her subject to "set her free from the loneliness".[2] Kudo was praised for her earnest interpretation of Nakajima's lyrics.[2]


Cover version


Nakajima first covered the song in concert during her Miyuki Nakajima Concert Tour 1998 tour.[3] She later recorded her own version of the song, which was released in 2002 on the album, Otogibanashi: Fairy Ring.

The single debuted at number 23 on the Oricon Singles Chart, selling 21,000 copies in its first week.[4] It fell to number 34 the following week, with sales of 13,000 copies.[4] "Setsu Getsu Ka" stayed in the top 100 for a total of twelve weeks.[5]
