Overview.
The song peaked at 7 on the Oricon weekly charts, only the second of Superfly's singles to break the Oricon's top 10, while remaining on the charts for 10 weeks, and was designated as the number 22 song for the month of November 2009. "Dancing on the Fire" fared better on the "Billboard" Japan Hot 100, reaching number 6, and the song's music video was also awarded the VMAJ for Best Rock Video in 2010. The B-sides to the single include a live version of "Alright!!" performed at a free release party for "Box Emotions" at the Roppongi Hills Arena and a cover of Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman". "A Natural Woman" was later used as the theme song for the 2010 release of the film "Tokyo-jima". The limited edition release of the single included a DVD that featured a recording of the "Box Emotions" release concert at the Roppongi Hills Arena. A live rendition of "Dancing on the Fire" appears in the "Dancing at Budokan!!" live DVD and album. The track is not featured on any of Superfly's subsequent studio albums, but its music video will be included on the DVD packaged with "Mind Travel".
In March 2015, the song was certified for 100,000 digital downloads in Japan, five and a half years after its release.
