Released in September 1990, this song was his 8th single.  It became the greatest hit for him and for 90s jpop.

Simple lyrics and tune deliver the strong message which echoed in many of our hearts.  Even though the world is suffering from the corona virus epidemic at the moment, you've got to believe that the love will prevail in the end.

Happy Valentain's Day!
