Konya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni (今夜月の見える丘に, On the Hill Overlooking the Moon Tonight) is the twenty-seventh single by B'z, released on February 9, 2000.
The single was the first by the band to be issued in 12cm disc format instead of the mini CDs used by previous singles. The cover photograph was taken inside an antique shop in Tokyo, and, to match the drama Beautiful Life for which the song served as the theme, was done from the vantage point of someone in a wheelchair. The series, aired from January to March of 2000, starred Takuya Kimura as an up-and-coming hairstylist who falls in love with an inexperienced librarian portrayed by Kyoko Machida who suffers from a disease that has left her bound to a wheelchair. The series became one of the most successful in the history of Japanese television, with a record viewership rating of over 40%.
