Puffy -- Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi （これが私の生きる道）

The adorable Puffy girls got their first No. 1 with this song, some 5 months after their debut, "Asia no Junshin"（アジアの純真....Purity of Asia）. It stayed for 16 weeks on the Oricon charts after its release in October 1996, hitting the top spot on October 21. During its time on the charts, it managed to sell almost 1.6 million copies, and remains their most successful hit. Although the debut song was handled by Yosui Inoue and Tamio Okuda（井上陽水・奥田民生）, this time it was Okuda handling both the writing and composing.

The song has that Beatles-esque influence, notably from "Day Tripper" if you listen carefully, although there is a chorus part that seems to reflect "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" at one point. Lyrically, "Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi"(This is the Street Where We Live) talks about the fun and optimistic side of life as Ami and Yumi plainly show in the video while they cruise around California. As for the title, it refers to  a line uttered by one of "The Crazy Cats", a comic Japanese band from the 1950s in which he said "Kore ga Otoko no Ikiru Michi"(This is the Street Where Boys Live). However, for the Puffy Amiyumi fans in the States, the song's English title is "That's the Way It Is".

The song is also on the duo's 2nd album, "JET CD".
