"Rojo (Tierra)" (ロホ・ティエラ, Roho Tiera) is the 49th single by Japanese entertainer Akina Nakamori. Written by Minako Kawae, Nakamori (under the pseudonym "Miran:Miran"), and Daisuke Asakura, the single was released on January 21, 2015, by Utahime Records and Universal Music Japan in two editions: CD single and the limited edition CD + DVD edition. It was also the lead single from her 24th studio album Fixer.[1][2][3]

"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".[4][5] Due to Nakamori's intention to deliver the new song to fans as soon as possible, the teaser ringtone was distributed on December 24, 2014 as a Christmas present.[6] The full single was first made available online on December 31.[7] Nakamori debuted the song on the 65th Kōhaku Uta Gassen via satellite from a recording studio in Los Angeles.[8][9][10]

Chart performance

"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.[11][12]
