Review
The tribute to Japanese 1970s pop superstar Seiko Matsuda is a slight shift in gear towards a 100% mid-1980s style tempo with funkier bass, guitar and a string arrangement that dances around the melody rather than take centre stage in blending pop into classical.

Indeed Seiko’s songs are very much like that – melodic with a beat, and amazingly her song titles translated nicely into chanson-like themes.

Once again, Caravelli interprets Seiko in a 1980s fashion with hardly any synthesizer – it is beautiful melody laid upon melody marked by pure percussion, strings and trumpet playing that respects the original songs by Seiko.
