Ai no Hi Mittsu Orange (愛の火 3つ オレンジ, Fire of Love, Three, Orange) is a special collaboration song between solo artist Chara and Judy and Mary vocalist Yuki.[1] The song was used in a Sapporo Beer commercial for their Fuyu Monogatari (冬物語, Winter Story) campaign.
The song was released as Chara's first single after her maternity leave for her second child, Himi (緋美), and while Yuki was taking a break from Judy and Mary activities (and participating in the band NiNa).
The song's title is a pun: Ai no Hi Mittsu (愛の火 3つ, Fire of Love, Three) sounds like Ai no Himitsu (愛の秘密, Secret of Love).
The song debuted at #6 on Oricon charts and charted for seven weeks,[2] eventually selling approximately 230,000 copies.[3]
