Overview

"Tadoritsuku Basho"/"Oxalis" was released on 24 January 2007, being High and Mighty Color's first release of the year.^[1] Both songs on the A-side, "Tadoritsuku Basho" and "Oxalis", were a part of the soundtrack of the biopic film 26 Years Diary (あなたを忘れない), with "Tadoritsuku Basho being used as the theme song".^[2] The lyrics of the song were written by Mākii, vocalist of the group, who was set to star as the female lead in the film. She wrote the lyrics with the film in mind, taking into account what the character she were to play would want to convey in the scene the song appears. The melody of the song, written before the lyrics, was chosen out of a selection of the group's songs by the producers of the film, with the one being selected being composed by Meg, the guitarist.^[3] The song "Oxalis" was used as incidental music sung by Mākii in the film.^[4]

This single is the group's to come in alternating editions (one with and one without the DVD) and their first double A-side single.^{[citation needed]} Music videos for each song were produced, the one for "Tadoritsuku Basho" (directed by Yūsuke Takuno) being released one day after the one for "Oxalis" (directed by Hiroto Fujiyasu).^{[citation needed]}
