Yumi Matsutoya, who is a great senior to Spitz, has also covered this song.
She sings it with Yumi’s distinctive vibe that could make you mistake it for one of her own songs.
The instrumentals also give off a stylish feel, offering a completely different way to enjoy it from Spitz’s version.

Alighting in the green townMatsutōya Yumi

This is a piece composed by Yumi Matsutoya based on her impressions when she visited Iwate Prefecture in 1975.
It was later adopted as the image song for Iwate Hanamaki Airport.
Early summer in Iwate was so beautiful that Yuming couldn’t help but write a song—just imagining the scenery makes you want to visit, doesn’t it?
Geniuses are created by their times. I think great works are born when an individual’s vibration and the era’s vibration align perfectly.Matsutōya Yumi

Yumi Matsutoya, who continues to build her own world with incredible taste, speaks with real conviction.
No matter how talented someone is, if they aren’t accepted by their era, they won’t be called a genius.
She herself must deeply feel that one’s existence is validated by those who accept them.
On the flip side, there are people who are confident yet not recognized and say things like, “Finally the times have caught up with me.” There are also cases where a person’s talent is only understood after they’re gone, which shows how difficult it is to be recognized in real time.
Chuo FreewayMatsutōya Yumi

It’s a song included on Yumi Matsutoya’s fourth original album, “The 14th Moon,” released in 1976.
It’s said that Yumi Matsutoya wrote this song for Hiroshi Kamayatsu.
It’s a masterpiece filled with lyrics depicting the scenery you see when driving along the Chuo Expressway toward Hachioji.

The House Hokkaido Stew commercial featuring Tori Matsuzaka uses the song “Yuki no Michishirube” by Yumi Matsutoya.
The steam rising from the stew and Yuming’s warm vocals make you feel all cozy, don’t they? Yuming has collaborated with House Foods several times before, and each time she delivers a soothing track that perfectly matches the commercial’s image.
Just like the CM’s vibe, it’s a number that makes you want to eat something warm—like comforting stew—after working hard outside on a cold winter’s day.
