THE BOOM
The Boom periodically re-released "Shima Uta", first on October 5, 2001, as a rearranged version as a double A-side to their song "Kamisama no Hōseki de Dekita Shima" which was later remixed for the band's 2002 album "Okinawa: Watashi no Shima". 2002 also saw the release of a new "Shima Uta" single on May 22 which included vocals from Argentine vocalist Alfredo Casero who became famous in his own right for his cover of the song. The Boom with Casero performed this version at the 53rd "Kōhaku Uta Gassen". On March 20, 2013, The Boom released a new 20th anniversary version of the song and single.
