① is a single released about a month after the announcement of the 3rd album [Desire]. The coupling song "ALONE" was not included in the 4 original albums, and is only included in this 8cm CD. Kiryu Chihiro wrote the lyrics and composed the song, and Chihiro also sang the vocals. I think it's probably a "phantom single" considering the number of copies released.
②RUA is a duo of Christy and Clinton, siblings from New Zealand. They are beautiful men and women who sang regularly on NHK's "Youth Pops". They seem to have released an album of Western music covers, but they released only this one original single and disbanded (to go their own way). Both songs are works by Kiryu Chihiro (=chihiro name). This is also a rare record, produced by Masanori Sasaji.
③ "She overcame many obstacles in the TV Tokyo "ASAYAN" Super Vocalist Audition, and with her single-mindedness, she carved out a dream for herself. A soothing voice...a diva debut." "Moon and Harmonica" is the ending theme song for TV Tokyo's "Mr. Maric Magic Time," and both songs are composed by Chihiro Kiryu (under the name of Chihiro). Both songs have a style that is typical of Chihiro. This one was also produced by Masanori Sasaji, who also produced Velvet Pow.
As you can tell by listening, "Natural" and "Moon and Harmonica" sound like the same song with different lyrics. However, the melodies of the rust seem slightly different. The lyrics were written by Seiko Fujibayashi and Kanako Nakayama (PuriPuri), but the composition was by Chihiro, and ① is the original. Both b/ws are by Chihiro. By 1999, the era of Pau was long gone, and Chihiro's style had shifted from a lot of odd time signatures to simple chord progressions like this song.
