According to Russ Titelman:

The cover by Tatsuro Yamashita is pretty well known but Google doesn't say anything about a woman covering it in the '90s.

I've looked everywhere and found nothing. Maybe there is info on it out there somewhere----in Japanese!

Give me 5 years and I'll search for it. Just started with a Japanese tutor the other day.  Smiley

Awesome cover, glad you posted this thread.

It seems "Guess I'm Dumb" in Japanese is 提供

It got me to a cool live version by The Pen Friend Club:

Thanks, bgas. Came across those on my cybertravels but it's great to have them all in one place. No J-Pop circa 1996 though. Still, it's heartwarming to see so many cover versions...

Perhaps the reference could be explained by these notes from The Louis Phillipe discography?  

>>I Still Believe In You (1996)
Polystar PSCR-5465 (trattoria menu.89)

La Pluie Fait Des Claquettes/Sorry/You Mary You/Delta Kiss/Lolita's Back In Town/Like Nobody Do/A Paris/When The Party's Over/With All Our Loving/Lazy English Sun/Mad Mad World/I Just Wasn't Made For These Times/This Picture's Nailed In My Heart/Farewell Maria/Little Pad/Nowhere Square/When Will You Be Back/Guess I'm Dumb/From Season To Season/Every Word Meant Goodbye

A "Best Of" covering all of Louis's career, from the original Border Boys' Tribute EP to (but not including) Jackie Girl. The tracks were chosen by Japanese pop star Cornelius, a lifelong fan. The Border Boys' tracks have never been released on CD before. <<


Or perhaps the Wondermints version ( released 1996) which was recorded at the insistence of their Japanese Label?

Neat version.

Louis Phillipe? The guy who covered Paddy McAloon's Nightingales?

I know my band mate Sean Macreavy did rather a nice (and mellow) version on his 1994 album 'Dumb Angel' (good title for an album  LOL) back in 1994.

Tried to find it to upload it here (for free, its on allmusic/ I Tunes for download) from the net but to no avail, but it's certainly worth tracking down as is the rest of the album (including a lyric/vocal track for 'Your Summer Dream')
