"Saisakizaka" (幸先坂, "Fortune Hill Road"[1]) is the debut single by Japanese actress Yōko Maki, released on May 27, 2013.
[3][4] She first worked as a vocalist in 2011, when Maki covered Minoru Obata's 1950 kayōkyoku song "Hoshikage no Komichi" on Tokyo No.
[5] Director Tatsushi Ōmori heard the song, and thought Maki's voice would fit well with the atmosphere of the film.
[4] Sheena wrote the song after watching the uncompleted film, after receiving the impression of "the smell of midsummer soil" during the ending credits.
[4] Maki felt the song was difficult to sing, and was not used to her voice even when watched the final cut of The Ravine of Goodbye.
