love across the ocean is Japanese R&B singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's fifth domestic single. The single peaked at #19 on the Oricon Weekly charts and remained on the charts for four weeks. It became her first single released for her second studio album, grow into one, which would be released the following year on March 19.
The title track was used in a television advertisement for Kanebo Cosmetics' TESUTIMO (カネボウ化粧品「テスティモ」 / Kaneobou Keshouhin "TESUTIMO"). The single's b-sides were a remix of So Into You and the "single version" of the meaning of peace.
The version of the meaning of peace featured on the single was Kumi's solo and had a different instrumental than the version originally released with BoA for the Song Nation project. This version of the song was later placed on Kumi's first compilation album, Best ~first things~, as a bonus track.
The music video for love across the ocean was placed on the corresponding DVD, 7 Spirits.
To help promote the song, love across the ocean was used in a commercial for the Kao Corporation's TESUTIMO under their Kanebo Cosmetics line.
