Ren'ai Shashin

"Ren'ai Shashin"
Song

"Renai Shashin" (JA:恋愛写真; Love Photograph) is Ai Otsuka's 13th single under the Avex Trax label. It is also her third and final single released in 2006.

"Ren'ai Shashin", a ballad, was used as the theme song of the movie Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru. The title of the movie was originally Heavenly Forest, but was changed to a phrase from the song's lyrics after the director listened to the song.

The b-side, "Hanikami Jane", an upbeat song, was used in a CM for Look: a la mode chocolate. The third track is a live version of "Haneari Tamago," a song originally on Otsuka's 3rd album Love Cook.

The single debuted at #2 during its first week, selling 77,570 copies and making it Otsuka's highest debut sales of the year. "Ren'ai Shashin" was second only to Kisarazu Cat's Eye's Seaside Byebye. It sold a total of 129,855 copies in 2006, making it the 75th best-selling single of the year.
