## Background

"Rojo (Tierra)" is Spanish for "Red (Earth)". It was Nakamori's first physical single in over five years, after her 2009 release "Diva Single Version".

The full single was first made available online on December 31. Nakamori debuted the song on the 65th Kōhaku Uta Gassen via satellite from a recording studio in Los Angeles.

"Rojo (Tierra)" peaked at No. 8 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 25,400 copies, becoming Nakamori's first top-10 since "Gekka" in 1994.
