"Speedrive" is Misono's 3rd single as a solo artist. It debuted at #13 on the Oricon Daily Charts, making it be the lowest debut number for any of Misono's singles. This is also her first single she performed live on television.

Overview

"Speedrive" was the theme song for the movie Love Com. The lyrics for "Speedrive", as well as the lyrics for "Ari to Girigirsu: 10 Years Later", were written by Misono herself. Also, arrangement was done by Takahiro Izutani.

Music video

The PV for "Speedrive" is roughly based on The Ugly Duckling. In the video, Misono is walking around the streets of a city in an ugly duckling costume and then at the end she finally becomes a swan. A special "Lovely Complex version" PV was aired to promote both the single and the movie, which included scenes from the movie. The DVD includes the original version of the PV.
