With arrangements that overturned the conventional image of enka, it continued to sell from the moment it was released, ranking within the Oricon Top 100 for 25 consecutive weeks.
Did Oshichi’s heart—so desperate to see her lover that she even committed arson—scatter like a flurry of cherry blossoms?
