- Information
"Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi" is the second single released by PUFFY. The title track was used for Japanese brand Tessera's "Juicy-Juicy" shampoo line CM song. The song has since made several other appearances in the media such as: the Japanese/French film Wasabi (2001), the video game Donkey Konga 3: Tabe-houdai! Haru Mogitate 50 Kyoku (2005), the pilot episode of the American TV series Heroes (2006), and the video game Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (2007). The song's title is a play on the song "Kore ga Otoko no Ikiru Michi" by Ueki Hitoshi and Hana Hajime to Crazy Cats[1]. The B-side, "Yuki ga Furu Machi", is a cover of the 1993 single of the same name by their producer Okuda Tamio's band UNICORN. The single reached #1 on the weekly Oricon chart (and stayed at #1 for three consecutive weeks), where it stayed on the chart for a total of 31 weeks. In all the single sold a total of 1,566,000 copies[2], making it the duo's first #1 single and their best selling single[3].
An English version of the song appears on their 2002 North American best album, An Illustrated History, titled "That's The Way It Is".
