Background

Like Nakamori's previous single "Akai Hana", "Hajimete Deatta Hi no Yō ni" is a Japanese-language cover of South Korean singer Park Yong-ha's 2003 single "Cheoeum Geu Nalcheoleom" (처음 그 날처럼, lit. "Like the First Day"). The difference is that it has alternate Japanese lyrics by veteran lyricist Matsui. This marked the second time Nakamori released two versions of the same song as singles, after "Meu amor é..." and "Akaitori Nigeta" in 1986. "Hajimete Deatta Hi no Yō ni" was used as the theme song of NHK BS2's Japanese dub of the Korean drama series All In.[2]

Chart performance

"Hajimete Deatta Hi no Yō ni" peaked at No. 50 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 6,200 copies.[3][4]
