	The legacy of the title song for this single is that of one of the band's best-regarded and best-remembered works. Upon release in fall of 1991, the single debuted at number one and held onto the spot for two weeks despite healthy competition. It became the second of the band's singles to reach one million copies after "[[LADY NAVIGATION]]" and achieved a number of sales milestones in its time on shelves, having been certified Triple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan and receiving Oricon's Million certification as well.

	#: [[File:s09_01.ogg]] Although it is now considered one of the band's quintessential ballads, Tak initially wanted "[[IN THE LIFE\|Mou Ichido Kiss Shitakatta]]" to serve as the ballad single from ''[[IN THE LIFE]]''. He went on to say of the song: "That sort of major rock ballad had become characteristic for rock bands. That was a type of music that I, as well as Inaba, wanted to explore." The composition was something Tak worked on while on the road for [[B'z LIVE-GYM '90~'91 "RISKY"]], and ultimately took a great deal of time and effort to get right. While extremely popular, it is rarely played live, instead being reserved for special occasions. In a poll asking which songs fans would most like to see performed during the [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2008 -GLORY DAYS-\|twentieth anniversary tour]], "ALONE" was the fifth most requested, but was not included in the final setlist; however, it was eventually included as part of the setlist for their [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 -ENDLESS SUMMER-\|twenty-fifth anniversary tour]]. The performance of the song highlighted on ''[["BUZZ!!" THE MOVIE]]'' is considered the quintessential version by the majority of fans. In the album version, the final English chorus is used to open the song without any instrumental support.		#: [[File:s09_01.ogg]] {{ALONE Song}}
