is the 17th single by Japanese singer Yōko Oginome. Written by Narada Michael Walden, Joyce Imbesi, and Carolyn Hedrich, with Japanese lyrics by Shintarō Hirai, the single was released on January 18, 1989, by Victor Entertainment. It was Oginome's first and only single to be recorded and produced in the U.S.[1] [2]
The song is the Japanese translation of the title track from Oginome's 1988 all-English album Verge of Love. Both "Verge of Love" and the B-side "Swoopin' In" were used as theme songs of the Fuji TV drama special, which also starred Oginome.
"Verge of Love" peaked at No. 5 on Oricon's singles chart. It also sold over 81,000 copies.[3]
All music is arranged by Narada Michael Walden.
