A timeless masterpiece that established the pinnacle of Japanese chanson.
This cover of Western music, sung by Fubuki Koshiji with Japanese lyrics, has made a deep impression on Japanese audiences with its lyrical approach that incorporates elements of pop and chanson.
While taking the form of a collection of covers, the composition that highlights her vocal expression is impressive. While respecting the rhythmic structure of the original song, Koshiji's soft vocals carefully portray the emotional ups and downs. Strings and a modest rhythm section are used in the backing accompaniment, enhancing the emotion of the song without being overly assertive. This album can be evaluated as a masterpiece that blends the worldview of Western music and chanson with Koshiji's knowledge of pop music.
