Fuyumi Sakamoto, who has sung numerous enka masterpieces such as “Yozakura Oshichi,” performed “Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru” in Western clothing rather than a kimono.

The song was originally by Billy BanBan.

It had also been used as the commercial song for iichiko Hita Zenkoji in the Billy BanBan version, but from 2008 the commercial switched to Sakamoto’s version and continued to air.

Later, on her cover album “Love Songs ~Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru~,” a duet between Fuyumi Sakamoto and Billy BanBan was realized.
