Japanese singer Noriko Katō released her cover of "Kondo Watashi Doko ka Tsurete itte Kudasai yo" as her debut single on July 25, 1992. It was used as the ending theme of the ANB TV series Bin Bin House. Because Katō was 19 years old at the time of the single's release, the line "Futari de osake nomitai" (二人でお酒 飲みたい, "Let's drink together") was replaced with "Futari de shokuji wo suru no" (二人で食事をするの, "Let's have a meal together").[5][6]
The B-side is "Hikisakanaide Futari wo" (引き裂かないで二人を, lit. "Don't Tear Us Apart"), which was also written by Moritaka and Saitō. Moritaka recorded her version of the song in her 1999 compilation album Harvest Time.
The music video features Katō as a waitress at a restaurant near a construction site. She is madly in love with a construction worker named Kōji to the point where she gives him larger servings of his order than his co-workers. An embarrassed Kōji stands up and he and everyone in the restaurant stare at Katō before the song plays on the television, with Katō singing and dancing on a blue screen background.
The single peaked at No. 69 on Oricon's singles chart. It also earned her a New Artist Award nomination at the 34th Japan Record Awards.[7]
