Hiromi's version has an enka feel for me. I still love Akina's version the best :)Larry Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427470996464209919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-51950562943239660722018-12-28T17:05:14.308-05:002018-12-28T17:05:14.308-05:00There's also Hiromi Iwasaki's interpretati...There's also Hiromi Iwasaki's interpretation on Music Fair in 1988.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaCJ5ndr7YYJim Lakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680850275899879233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-31297043810277403512018-12-27T22:13:46.736-05:002018-12-27T22:13:46.736-05:00J-Canuck, thanks for the comments.

The dramatic arrangement has me thinking that it's probably a creation by Takao Kisugi.<br /><br />I didn't know about Tatsuro's fury about Akina's interpretation, but considering from what I heard about Mariya's initial impression of her husband when they had first met, I could imagine him being quite tempestuous. Maybe not the easiest guy to be around when recording. :)J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.com
