Retro Corner - Seiko Matsuda's Nagisa no Balcony

My favorite Seiko Matsuda song is "Nagisa no Balcony." (1982) It's a varied song, with four distinct parts to the melody, and I find all of them pleasing and interesting. Every time I listen to the song, I anticipate each part. Even though it's a gentle song, I could never call it boring. I find the tune full of magic, relaxation, and freshness. Yes, it's the sweet freshness that really makes me admire Matsuda's voice. It's so different from the pop voices of today, which tend to have a sexy edge.

Momo wants to be an idol like Matsuda! My favorite H!P member has good taste, hehe.
