"Jewel of Kiss" is the fifteenth single from Japanese singer Hitomi Shimatani, and the second single from her 2004 album, Tsuioku+Love Letter. Released in mid-June, it managed to take the #21 spot on the Oricon charts and has since sold roughly 17,000 copies.
Jewel of Kiss is a midtempo pop ballad, with a wintry feel in the opening, marked by pizzicato strings - the body of the song, however, features piano, castanets, electric organ, and cascading strings, and sounds very different from the opening and closing. The b-side, Asatsuyu no Melody, is also a midtempo ballad with prominent electric guitar.
