is the debut single of Japanese R&B singer Misia, released on February 21, 1998. It sold 3,030 (8 cm) and 2,350 (12 cm) copies in its first week but became a long seller and after 16 weeks, it peaked at #11 and #20 respectively.
Because the Oricon charts only started adding up the total for both versions of a single in May 2001, "Tsutsumikomu Yō ni..." could not reach the Top 10. Had both versions been counted as one, the single would have peaked at #8 on its tenth week, as well as remaining in the Top 10 for seven non-consecutive weeks. "Tsutsumikomu Yō ni..." is the only single for which Misia did not contribute lyrics to.
The song was used in an Elleseine cosmetics commercial.
Makidai, now a member of Exile, was one of the backup dancers featured in the music video of "Tsutsumikomu Yō ni...".
