"Single Again" (Japanese: シングル・アゲイン, Hepburn: Shinguru Agein) is the 18th single by Japanese singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi. Written by Takeuchi and produced by Tatsuro Yamashita, the single was released through Moon Records on September 12, 1989.[1][2][3]

"Single Again" was used as the eighth opening theme of NTV's Kayō Suspense Gekijō (火曜サスペンス劇場, Kayō Sasupensu Gekijō, Tuesday Suspense Theater). The song is about a woman's feelings when she hears rumors of a divorced man marrying another woman, thus making her feel "single again".

Chart performance

"Single Again" peaked at No. 2 on Oricon's weekly singles chart.[4][5] It was certified platinum by the RIAJ in May 1992.[6]
