Background

edit

"It's Brand New Day" was Nakamori's first release in nearly two years, after her falling-out with Gauss Entertainment (which has since been absorbed into Tokuma Shoten in 2005) in December 1999. The single was initially released exclusively online on Nifty Corporation's website Music@nifty (currently @niftymusic), but it was later made available on CD during the concert tour All About Akina: 20th Anniversary It's Brand New Day from June 6 to July 13, 2001.[3] On August 8, the CD version was made available at Music@nifty. In 2002, Nakamori signed with Universal Music Japan, and "It's Brand New Day" was included on her 20th studio album Resonancia.

As it was not widely released, "It's Brand New Day" became Nakamori's first single to not appear on Oricon's weekly singles chart.[4]
