Boku no Taiyō' (僕の太陽, My sun) is Japanese idol group

DefSTAR Records, on August 8, 2007.[1]

Promotion

"Boku no Taiyō" was also the title of a series of stage performances from July 1, 2007 by Himawari gumi (ひまわり組, Sunflower group), an inter-group unit,

Deltora Quest,[2] broadcast through TV Aichi and TXN, includes TV Tokyo
.

The B-side song, "Mirai no Kajitsu" (未来の果実, Fruit of the future), was also used as the theme song for

Yuka Masuda and Ayaka Umeda
from Team K.

Unlike previous singles, "Shokai Genteiban" (初回限定版, The first edition) CDs were not released, but each first press one also includes a sticker with one of characters of "Deltora Quest", as well as a CD jacket in different design,[4] but did not come with a bonus DVD with a video clip of "Boku no Taiyō", which was included in the next single "Yūhi o Miteiru ka?.[2]

Purchasers of the first press of the single were invited to an exclusive handshaking event to meet their favorite member. Each was given an amount of time proportional to the number of copies purchased, which led to some fans to buy the single in bulk.[2]

Reception

The single charted only four weeks in the top 200 with the highest rank at #6, tied with their then-highest record as "Bingo!",[5] "Boku no Taiyō" sold 28,840 copies.
