About Love, Day After Tomorrow

"Love, Day After Tomorrow" is a song recorded by Japanese singer Mai Kuraki, taken as the lead single of her debut studio album Delicious Way (2000). It was released on December 8, 1999, via Giza Studio and Tent House in two physical editions: a CD single and 12-inch vinyl. The track was written by Kuraki herself, while production was handled by Kanonji. The conception of the song started after the commercial failure of her English language single "Baby I Like", which led her American label Bip! Records to send her back to Japan, and she subsequently reverted to the Japanese market. Musically, "Love, Day After Tomorrow" is a pop recording that incorporates elements of R&B and teen music, and lyrically discusses about themes of love. Upon its release, the single received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the single's commercial quality and production, but some noted similarities to another rising Japanese artist, Utada Hikaru. Commercially, it experienced success in Japan, reaching number two on the Oricon Singles Chart and was certified million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipments of one million copies. Despite not charting in North America, it sold over 5,000 copies.

Itsuka wa yume ga kanau what are you hoping for 
Namida mo tsuyogari mo nagesuteru koto ga dekiru yo ne 
Fukinukeru kaze no tsuyosa ni kokoro ga yure

You are the first thing on my mind 

Love, day after tomorrow, I wish you knew 
Aimai ni kazatta kotoba wa iranai 
Love, day after tomorrow, I need you back 
Tada kimi to onaji hayasa de arukitai kara

You never looked at me this way 
Hitomi no oku ni aru shinken na ai to adobaisu

Love, day after tomorrow, I wish you knew 
I'm still in Love, But you're gone, And now my heart is breaking 
Love, day after tomorrow, I need you back 
My heart is waiting for your love, 
L.O.V.E one more day
