"Ame ni Kiss no Hanataba wo" (A Bouquet of Kisses in the Rain) is a track on Miki Imai's（今井美樹) marvelous 1990 album, "Retour" which I have already profiled. I honestly can't say it's my favourite song on the album because all of the songs are great; it'd be like choosing who my favourite child was. Composed by KAN and written by Yuuho Iwasato（岩里祐穂), it's a cheerfully whimsical tune which befits its composer. Of all of the songs on the album, this track was the one that has gotten the most radio airplay, according to J-Wiki.
Perhaps one of the reasons for its popularity on the radio is because of TV. Following Mariko Nagai's（永井真理子）"Miracle Girl" as the perky theme song for the anime "Yawara" in its first season, "Ame ni Kiss no Hanataba wo" became the new opening theme for "the fashionable judo girl's" second season. Above is the opening credits sequence for the second season. As I may have mentioned in the Nagai entry, "Yawara" was an anime that I often caught on Monday nights on NTV.
