“PUFFY’s second single ‘Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi’ is an awesome hit that incorporates that Beatles style and late 50’s-early 60’s rock sound. Definitely a solid release for the duo!”

With the success of Puffy’s debut CD single “Asian no Junshin” earlier in the year (May 1996), many awaited the second CD single from the female duo who is produced by Tamio Okuda (of UNICORN fame).
Featuring a new CD single with artwork by Rodney A. Greenblat, “Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi” was an instant hit when it was released and earned the duo their first #1 single.
The song had a hint of Beatles and a late 50’s to early 60’s rock sound and had a catchy melody plus a lively music video featuring the duo in Japan and the United States filmed for their first video “Run! Puffy! Run!”.
The coupling track “Yuki Ga Furu Machi” is a cover of the UNICORN hit but at a slower pace and features a synth/experimental background with the electronic drumbeats.
The final remaining tracks are the karoke instrumentals withthe “Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi” receiving a stereo version of the music.
As for inside the CD insert, all that is included are the lyrics and production credits and the CD singles are the Japanese mini-CD singles.
Overall, the CD single is quite solid and easily one of my favorite tracks to listen to on my CD player at the moment.
