COMMENTARY
Amuro Namie chose to cover Nokko’s song Ningyo (Mermaid) because she enjoyed it a lot and often sang it in her bath. Ningyo was also the theme song for the 1994 drama Toki o Kakeru Shojo starring Yuki Uchida and Amuro Namie herself.
The music video is based on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
