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.

Abare Daiko: Enter the Lawless Generation — Fuyumi Sakamoto

A classic enka song I wish more young people would sing.

Fuyumi Sakamoto, who debuted as the last disciple of composer Kimimasa Inomata, has now become a true grand dame of the enka world.

Apparently, she began her training as a singer by serving as Inomata-sensei’s driver—an anecdote brimming with Showa-era flavor.

Her debut ‘Abare Daiko’ and its version with the spoken introduction, ‘Abare Daiko ~Muho Ichidai-iri~,’ both deliver that quintessential enka feel.

It’s a beautiful piece showcasing Sakamoto’s powerful vibrato that recalls the great Harumi Miyako of yesteryear.

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.

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.
