Footnotes:

• ^ = Both singles were released before her solo debut but because she is solely accredited to those singles they have been included here as part of her solo discography.
• ^^ = "SOMETHING 'BOUT THE KISS" was released in two single formats. Because of this both versions of the single have different rankings and sales figures as at the time Oricon did not combine sales of multi-format singles as they do now. The figures listed above pertain to the maxi single (12cm) version which ranked higher than any other version released.
• ^^^ = Although officially released on 01/01/2000, singles released during New Years period generally go on sale before street date due to holiday closing of businesses. The sales amount and ranking indicated for the first week of the single are combined from two weeks of sales as Oricon does not rank single during the New Years week.
• ^^^^ = "GIRL TALK / the SPEED STAR" is a double a-side single, however only "GIRL TALK" appears on a studio album.
