Man I have had this thing sitting on my flash drive since '09.
This is Masquerade, Sumire's iconic song from the Beni Tokage musical*. It is sultry and sexy and incredibly awesome. You can practically close your eyes and see Sumire sashaying down the staircase at some kind of elegant villains' party. If you did not love Sumire before this song, YOU SHOULD.
I must also say that I am partial to Sakura's version of this from the 2001 Shinshun Kayou Show, but this is still my favourite. And let's not get into the Kanna's delusion version of this, unless you want to see Sumire waddling around in an oversized Barney costume. Which, admittedly, sounds hilarious. :V
*Actually, it isn't. But it should be. Thanks to Ogawa Burukku for noting this in her reviews of the Complete Song Box.
@TheChangingCharacter - There is, ah, a live performance of Sakura singing this (should actually be in the related videos). If it is in the music collections, though, I have completely spaced out on it.

Do you have any idea where I can find the version of Sakura singing this?^-^
