Background

[edit]

"Tada Nakitaku Naru no" is composed in the key of B flat major and set to a tempo of 87 beats per minute.[4] Nakayama's vocals span from G3 to D5. Lyrically, it tells the story of a woman feeling left behind by her friends who are getting married one by one. The song was used as the theme song of the TBS drama series Moshimo Negai ga Kanau Nara (もしも願いが叶うなら, If Your Wish Comes True), which also starred Nakayama.[5]

Nakayama performed the song on the 45th Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 1994, marking her seventh and final appearance on NHK's New Year's Eve special.[6] In 2015, she performed the song for the first time in 18 years on national TV during the 2015 FNS Music Festival, earning the most-watched segment of the broadcast.[7] She self-covered the song on her 2019 album Neuf Neuf.[8]
