Japanese singer-songwriter Namie Amuro covered "Wishing on the Same Star" as her 21st single, released by Avex Trax on September 11, 2002. It was used as the theme song of the 2002 film Inochi. The song was meant to be her last before a hiatus that would have seen her transplanting herself from Tokyo to New York City for the purposes of artist development. As the last of her singles as a pop artist, it is the most commercially successful from the 2003 album Style. Amuro performed the song on the 53rd Kōhaku Uta Gassen.[4]

The single peaked at No. 2 on Oricon's singles chart and sold over 97,000 copies.[5][6] It was certified Gold by the RIAJ in December 2003.[7]
