"Itoshisa to Setsunasa to Kokoro Zuyosa to" (恋しさとせつなさと心強さと, lit. "This Love, This Pain, This Strength of Heart") is the fourth single by Japanese singer Ryōko Shinohara, released on July 21, 1994, by Epic Records/Sony Music Entertainment Japan under the Tokyo Performance Doll label Cha-Dance. Written and produced by Tetsuya Komuro, the song was used in the Japanese release of the 1994 anime film Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie during the scene where Ryu and Ken Masters team up to fight Vega/M. Bison. The B-side is "Good Luck", which was also featured in the film as the ending theme.
The single was Shinohara's breakthrough hit, staying at No. 1 on Oricon's singles chart for two weeks and peaking at No. 3 on Oricon's year-ending singles chart.[1] It also made Shinohara the first female artist in Japan to sell two million singles.[2][3] The song received the Excellence Award and the Arrangement Award at the 36th Japan Record Awards, the Wired Music Excellence Award at the 27th Japan Cable Awards, and the Best 5 Singles Award at the Japan Gold Disc Awards. Shinohara performed the song on the 45th[4] and the 73rd Kōhaku Uta Gassen.[5]
In 2019, the song was nominated for the Movie Theme Song Award (映画主題歌賞, Eiga Shudaika-shō) for the years 1989 to 1999 at Sony Music Entertainment Japan's Heisei Anison Awards (平成アニソン大賞, Heisei Anison Taishō).[6] In 2022, Shinohara and Komuro reunited to re-record the song as the Japanese image song for Street Fighter 6.[7]
