This album, featuring a collection of hit songs by Yumi Matsutoya—known as “Yuming,” a legend of Japanese pop—is an excellent project that showcases her broad musicality, alongside *Sicilienne*, a collection of classical masterpieces. It reflects her lifelong interest in and pursuit of diverse musical genres, unbound by any single style, a passion she’s held since childhood. In addition to the title track, songs like “If I Were Enveloped in Tenderness” and “Message in Rouge” (both timeless classics featured in Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film *Kiki’s Delivery Service*) and “Refrain Is Calling Out,” among others, offer a sound distinct from her usual vocal work. The flute’s pure, refreshing, and slightly cool, breezy sound is a perfect fit for the high-society Yuming brand. The simple arrangements, which prioritize an acoustic feel centered around string quartets, double bass, and piano, are outstanding. It’s a wonderful album that also makes a great gift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595434385697,"sku":"4988001109303","price":1572.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988001109303.jpg?v=1790481099","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4988001109303","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
