"Rosa" (ローザ, Rōza) is the 22nd single by Japanese entertainer Miho Nakayama. Written by Nakayama (under the pseudonym "Issaque") and Yoshimasa Inoue, the single was released on July 16, 1991, by King Records.[1][2][3]
Background and release
"Rosa" is the first collaboration between Nakayama and musician Yoshimasa Inoue. Prior to the recording of the song, Nakayama originally titled it "Chotto Dōshita no" (チョットドウシタノ; "Wait, Why?") before settling with the current title to match its flamenco motif.
"Rosa" became Nakayama's fifth straight No. 3 on Oricon's weekly singles chart. It sold over 362,000 copies and was certified Gold by the RIAJ.[4][5]
Nakayama performed the song on the 42nd Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 1991.[6]
