Fuyumi Sakamoto "A Love Song from Long Ago" Full Size

This piece portrays a scene where memories of past love intersect with a present reunion.

Written and composed by Yuka Kawamura, it is a commemorative single marking the 40th anniversary of her debut.

Its supple, jazz-inflected resonance leaves a strong impression.

The song also carries a delicate atmosphere that only a seasoned performer can truly convey.

With its calm mood, it feels perfect for moments when you want to quietly reflect on the journey of life.

Fuyumi Sakamoto – “Yoichūka” Full Ver.

Sakamoto Fuyumi’s song “Suichūka,” released in 2022.

Although Sakamoto Fuyumi studied under Futaba Yūrikō and has tackled challenging enka in her later years, she also works on catchier enka.

Among these, this piece is particularly easy to sing.

While there are some kobushi (ornamental vocal turns), the overall difficulty is low, and there are no repeated, dramatic ups-and-downs typical of elaborate kobushi.

The vocal range is somewhat wide, but even if your voice flips into head voice, it will sound like kobushi to listeners, making it easy to sing even for those with a narrower range.

The sun rises.Sakamoto Fuyumi43rank/position

I sang Fuyumi Sakamoto’s “Hi wa Noboru” (The Sun Rises).

Released on May 11, 2005 (Heisei 17).

It’s a song very characteristic of Fuyumi Sakamoto, along the same lines as her more manly, chivalrous style from three years earlier.

Right after her debut she often sang about the subtleties of men’s and women’s hearts, but around this time she began incorporating plenty of natural imagery into her lyrics—things like spring, summer, autumn, winter, and flowers such as yamakawa-bana.

It peaked at No.

27 and sold 35,000 copies.

Snow Country: Komako, Her LoveSakamoto Fuyumi44rank/position

Fuyumi Sakamoto – Snow Country ~Komako, That Love~

Fuyumi Sakamoto is known as an enka singer with a wide range of expressions, and her gentle, velvety vocals in particular are highly acclaimed.

Among her songs, the piece that stands out as a popular, tender ballad-enka is “Yukiguni ~Komako Sono Ai~.” The phrasing is clearly defined, but there are relatively few ornate kobushi (melismatic ornamentations), so the overall difficulty is on the lower side.

Some people may find the sustained long note at the end of the chorus a bit high, so if you’re not confident in your vocal range, I recommend lowering the key by one semitone.

Fuyumi Sakamoto - Wind Chimes

The first release of 2000 was “Yasha Kaikyō” (peaked at No.

38, 24,000 copies sold), in which she delivered a powerful performance of a weighty, profound theme.

“Fūrin,” released six months later on September 6, explored a completely different world, focusing on feelings toward one’s mother—similar to the world of “Cosmos (Akizakura).” With a melody that matched the autumn atmosphere, she performed “Fūrin” at that year’s Kōhaku.

It peaked at No.

39 and sold 22,000 copies.

Heisei 5-5 Ondo Song by Hideo Murata and Fuyumi Sakamoto

Heisei 5.5 Ondo by Hideo Murata and Fuyumi Sakamoto is a song released in June 1989 to celebrate the dawn of the Heisei era.

Combined with its bright, upbeat tone, it’s the kind of track that lifts your spirits as you listen.

The lyrics sing of iconic Japanese motifs such as Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms.

Hideo Murata’s powerful vocals and Fuyumi Sakamoto’s clear, pristine voice blend beautifully, creating a one-of-a-kind charm.

Known as a parody song by Fuyumi Sakamoto, this track features lyrics based on “Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru,” brilliantly capturing the loneliness and anxiety of a single woman.

From being spooked by a fortune-teller to noticing more wrinkles, its content is both humorous and heartfelt—sure to make you chuckle.

Released in January 2009, it won the Excellence Work Award at the Japan Record Awards that same year, and her performance at the 60th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen drew a huge response.

It’s a perfect song to refresh your mood when you’re tired or in everyday moments.

Ideal for when you want a good laugh and a reset.

Fuyumi Sakamoto SMI Daydream Believer TV 1990

This is a cover of “Daydream Believer” sung by enka singer Fuyumi Sakamoto.

Her powerful, kobushi-inflected vocals make this familiar song feel fresh again.

The lyrics come through clearly, and it’s the kind of cover you’d expect from an enka singer—one you can enjoy seamlessly even as a pop song!

Suddenly Sindbad [2024 Remaster]

This is a sensational video of enka singer Fuyumi Sakamoto performing Southern All Stars’ debut song “Katteni Sindbad.” Sakamoto looks as beautiful as ever in her kimono, and her live performance—even doing call-and-response—is outstanding.

I never imagined I’d get to hear “the hip-sway that sets the heart aflutter” sung with such a beautiful voice.

Love is a dance of fire, a dance of swords — Fuyumi Sakamoto with Natsuko Godai & Ayako Fuji

Released on April 28, 1993 (Heisei 5).

It passionately conveys a woman’s emotions in a style similar to “Hi no Kuni no Onna.” Sales gradually began to stall, peaking at No.

26 with 65,000 copies sold.

That year’s Japan Record Award went to Kaori Kozai’s “Mugon-zaka,” and it was a period when other female enka artists were slowly but steadily encroaching.
