"Tsumetai Kaze to Kataomoi / Endless Sky / One and Only" (冷たい風と片思い／ENDLESS SKY／One and Only) is the 60th single of the Japanese group Morning Musume. It was released on December 29, 2015.

Background
"Tsumetai Kaze to Kataomoi / Endless Sky / One and Only" was announced on November 7 during their Morning Musume '15 Concert Tour Aki ~PRISM~ shortly before, 9th Generation member, Sayashi Riho announced her graduation. Hence, this is the last single by the group to feature her.

"One and Only" is the opening theme for NHK WORLD's J-MELO from October 2015 through March 2016 and it is sung completely in English, a first for the group.

Track list speculation quickly rose that Sayashi Riho will have a solo A-Side song and the comeback of a B-Side song, which was last seen on Wagamama Ki no Mama Ai no Joke / Ai no Gundan

On December 7, producer Tsunku blogged about the liner notes of the single. He mentioned that "Tsumetai Kaze to Kataomoi" was intended to be the Sayashi Riho solo, but later changed into a group song. For "Endless Sky", it is a song for future members who will decide to graduate and not have regrets on the path they've chosen and look forward to their next challenges in life. On the last part of the blog, he posted the Japanese version of the song "One and Only".
