Love is like a prayer.Sakamoto Fuyumi
This is a song released in 2013 as Billy BanBan’s 33rd single.
While Billy BanBan’s original version was featured in iichiko commercials such as the “Texas Cowboys” and “Northern Lights” editions, Fuyumi Sakamoto’s cover has also been used multiple times, beginning with the Hita Zenkōji commercial “Hita/Taio Kinzan Edition.” The lyrics explore what love is and express feelings toward a beloved person, making it a song that grows more powerful and moving the more you listen to it.
