The song's peak position in Japan on the Oricon chart was 19, and on the American Billboard charts was 37.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Billboard top 40 hits 1979 )〕 This was also the first release of the duo in Japan which wasn't in the top 10. In addition to the all-English version of the song which was a hit in the U.S., Pink Lady also recorded a bilingual version, with the chorus in English and the verses in Japanese. Pink Lady became the first Japanese recording act to chart in America since Kyu Sakamoto ("Sukiyaki") 16 years earlier. "Kiss in the Dark" reached #37 on ''Billboard'' magazine's top 40, (#49 on the ''Cash Box'' magazine chart). In Japan the single sold 350,000 copies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Pink Lady single sales )〕 A re-recorded version of the song was included on the 2-disc greatest hits release, Innovation, released in December of 2010. == Track listing == # "Kiss in the Dark" 2:55 # * Written and composed by Michael Lloyd # "Walk Away Renee" 3:10 # * Written and composed by Mike Brown, Bob Calilli, Tony Sansone 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kiss in the Dark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
