"Alone" (アローン, Arōn) is the fifth single by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka. The lyrics were written by Chisato Moritaka, the music was composed and arranged by Shinji Yasuda. The single was released by Warner Pioneer on October 25, 1988. [1] [2]
The music video features Moritaka walking on her way home after work. During her commute, she rents a VHS copy of Aitsu ni Koishite (which she also starred in) and buys a bento meal. Upon arriving in her apartment, she has her dinner and watches the movie before looking at a ring in a jar, which is presumably an engagement ring from a former boyfriend.
"Alone" peaked at No. 25 on Oricon's singles chart and sold 26,000 copies. [3] [4]
"Alone" was remixed for the 1989 greatest hits album Moritaka Land.
Moritaka re-recorded the song and uploaded the video on her YouTube channel on December 19, 2014. [5] This version is also included in Moritaka's 2015 self-covers DVD album Love Vol. 8. [6]
