"Akaitori Nigeta" (赤い鳥逃げた, lit. "The Red Bird Flies Away") is a single by Japanese entertainer Akina Nakamori. Written by Chinfa Kan and Naoya Matsuoka, the single was released on May 1, 1985, by Warner Pioneer through the Reprise label.[1][2]
Background
"Akaitori Nigeta" was originally planned as Nakamori's 11th single, but producer Yūzō Shimada rejected it, as he felt the lyrics lacked the impact to be released as a single. As a result, the lyrics were reworked into what became "Meu amor é...". With the success of "Meu amor é...", "Akaitori Nigeta" was released as a 12" EP. The single was re-released on December 21, 1985 with a different jacket cover to coincide with the release of Nakamori's mini-album My Best Thanks.
Chart performance
"Akaitori Nigeta" became Nakamori's eighth No. 1 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 353,700 copies.[3][4]
