"Jane Doe" is the title of the debut single recorded by Minami Takahashi. It was released on April 3, 2013. The A-side is used as theme song for the Japanese drama Saki.[1] The single was released in four versions, three CD Maxi+DVD editions and a limited theater edition.

The song is a rock ballad written from a male perspective, depicted as being in a relationship he can't resist falling in love with one woman even after being disrespected, deceived by her and finally losing everything. The tracks follow the A-side upbeat feel, except for the ballads "Yabureta Hane" and Type C exclusive track, "Migikata", originally a song from Atsuko Maeda's second single Kimi wa Boku da.
