"Mr. Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~" was the thirteenth single of J-pop idol group Morning Musume and was released October 31, 2001 and It sold a total of 513,340 copies. This single also marks the debut of the “Fifth Generation” members Ai Takahashi, Risa Niigaki, Makoto Ogawa, and Asami Konno. The song exhibits heavy swing-style music influence (possibly a result of the swing revival of the late 90's), and the video featured the group dressed in outfits reminiscent of swing's peak era. Lead vocals are performed by Hitomi Yoshizawa, Maki Goto, and Natsumi Abe.
