Background

"It's Brand New Day" was Nakamori's first release in nearly two years, after her falling-out with Gauss Entertainment (which has since been absorbed into Tokuma Shoten in 2005) in December 1999. The single was initially released exclusively online on Nifty Corporation's website Music@nifty (currently @niftymusic), but it was later made available on CD during the concert tour All About Akina: 20th Anniversary It's Brand New Day from June 6 to July 13, 2001. [3] On August 8, the CD version was made available at Music@nifty. In 2002, Nakamori signed with Universal Music Japan, and "It's Brand New Day" was included on her 20th studio album Resonancia .

As it was not widely released, "It's Brand New Day" became Nakamori's first single to not appear on Oricon's weekly singles chart. [4]
