Seiko Matsuda - Eyes Are Diamonds

A slightly mature breakup song with the sparkling, candy-like voice of Seiko Matsuda—her “candy voice” nickname says it all.

The combination of lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Yumi Matsutoya (under the pen name Kureta Keiko) wonderfully conjures vivid scenes, making this one of Seiko’s hidden masterpieces.

My Precious You Seiko Matsuda [My Precious You / Important You]

Speaking of Seiko Matsuda in the 1990s, many people probably think of the mega-hit “Anata ni Aitakute ~Missing You~” or this song, “Taisetsu na Anata.” Released as a single in 1993, “Taisetsu na Anata” was used as a TV drama’s theme song and remains popular as a bright pop tune that only Seiko Matsuda could deliver—combining the charm of an eternal idol with the skill of an experienced singer-songwriter.

If you try singing it, you’ll notice her characteristically soaring high notes do appear, but the range isn’t excessively high overall, and the melody is easy to grasp, making it very singable.

If you find her high tones from the ’80s a bit tough, this might be a great song to start with!

Seiko Matsuda Rock ’n’ Rouge

These days she has overwhelmingly more female fans, but back then Seiko-chan still had a lot of male fans too.

Rock’n Rouge brings back memories of the cheering from her fan club.

Even if she says, “I don’t want a kiss,” and then tells you, “I mean the opposite,” well, you’d fall head over heels, wouldn’t you?
