"Kisei (Never Forget)" (帰省 〜Never Forget〜; lit. "Homecoming (Never Forget)") is the 35th single by Japanese entertainer Akina Nakamori. Written by Yasuhiro Suzu and Atsuko, the single was released on February 11, 1998, by Gauss Entertainment (a subsidiary of Daiichikosho) under the This One label. It was also the lead single from her 18th studio album Spoon.[1]
"Kisei (Never Forget)" was Nakamori's first release under Gauss Entertainment, less than a year after departing from MCA Victor. It was used as the theme song of the YTV drama series Tsumetai Tsuki (冷たい月; lit. Cold Moon), which also starred Nakamori.
The B-side is a remastered version of "Tsuki wa Aoku" (月は青く; lit. "The Moon Is Blue"), which was originally from Nakamori's 1997 album Shaker.
Nakamori re-recorded "Kisei (Never Forget)" on her 2007 compilation album Ballad Best 25th Anniversary Selection.[2]
