Fuyumi Sakamoto Popular Song Ranking [2026] (41–50)

Whimsical JourneySakamoto Fuyumi50rank/position

In 2003 (Heisei 15), she resumed her activities, and on September 3 released “Kimagure Dōchū.” As the title suggests, it’s an enka song evoking the sentiments of travel.

Around this time, Kiyoshi Hikawa had debuted, and there may have been some influence from his early songs.

Rather than a trip to a specific place, however, it conveys a message of taking life as a journey—easygoing and relaxed.

It peaked at No.

17 and sold 67,000 copies.

The B-side of the next single, “Sui-Kazura (Honeysuckle)” (released November 12, 2003), includes a duet version with composer Chiaki Oka.

chivalry (manly valor); manly spiritSakamoto Fuyumi51rank/position

Released on January 17, 2002 (Heisei 14).

Since his debut, he has sung songs themed around men—starting with “Otoko no Jowa” and “Otoko-bore”—while also continuing a line of life-affirming anthems such as “Taishi,” “Kaze ni Tatsu,” and “Rin to Shite.” This song seems to have been created with both of those currents in mind.

It also features local place names from Kyushu, giving it a back-to-basics feel—perhaps a culmination of his work to date.

It peaked at No.

37 and sold 53,000 copies.

That year, he suffered from pancreatitis, which affected his health, and he suspended his activities for a while.
