Seiko Matsuda (Matsuda Seiko, 松田聖子, born Kamachi Noriko, 蒲池法子, on March 10,… Read Full Bio ↴Seiko Matsuda (Matsuda Seiko, 松田聖子, born Kamachi Noriko, 蒲池法子, on March 10, 1962) is a Japanese pop singer-songwriter. Born in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, she rose to fame in 1980 as a teen idol, making her debut with the song "Hadashi no Kisetsu". Later in the same year, "Kaze wa Aki-iro" became the first of her 24 consecutive #1 hits in Japan.
Seiko used to hold the record for the most number 1 singles by a female singer until March 2006 when Ayumi Hamasaki's Startin' / Born To Be... reached number 1, making it her 26th single to top the charts. Nevertheless Seiko still holds the record of the most consecutive No.1 singles for a female artist, a record that she has been holding for two decades and not likely to be broken anytime soon (Ayumi has 23 consecutive number 1 singles as of July 2010).
Seiko is also on the Top 3 list of Most No.1 albums, Most Top 10 singles and Most Top 10 albums. Widely recognised as one of the most influential artists in J-pop history, HMV Japan ranked her No. 10 Top Japanese Artist of All Time, and No. 7 Top Singer of All Time. Her unusual staying power gives her the title of 'Forever Idol'.
Nobody in Japanese history (including royalty, politicians and sports stars) got more news coverage than Seiko. Controversial news about her personal life, as well as her resilient ability to bounce back from any scandals or set-backs, garnered extensive media attention.
She attempted to break into the North American market with an English-language, self-titled album in 1990. She scored a hit with "The Right Combination", a duet with boy band New Kids on the Block singer Donnie Wahlberg. Album sales were mediocre, however, and her follow-up Was it the Future failed to generate any significant sales.
Sony will be releasing a deluxe box set for Seiko in July 2006 that will set another record. This box set will contain 55 CDs, 860 songs costs 100,000 yen and has a play time of over 80 hours. It is definitely a tribute to Seiko's amazing music career.
Seiko still holds annual concerts, Christmas dinner shows and New Year's Eve Countdown shows. Despite of the high ticket price (her dinner show tickets are the most expensive among female artists), she always performs to a sold out crowd.
Married to actor Masaki Kanda from 1985 to 1997, she has a daughter, herself a singer, who performs under the name SAYAKA.
In addition to music, her career includes appearances in television, film, commercials, and radio. Two books of photos of Matsuda, and two books about her, have been published.

松田聖子 Lyrics
Eighteen 夢の中に出てきたあなたはとても素敵 いつも君だけ恋して 暮らしているさと 私は頬を染めてもじもじしていたけど 心は答えて…
North Wind 陽ざしを背中に受けた時 思わずあなたが好きと言えたのよ あなたは私にふり向いては 何か言ったかいと涼しい顔なの いいのい…
Only My Love You are only my love, my love, my love 愛は自由な空の翼 あなたと今この道歩いて行…
しなやかな夜 アスファルト靴音たち 遠くに消えてゆけば 空からは夜の精 あなたの名前を呼ぶでしょ... 恋人に伝えられず胸に積ったこと…
ウィンター・ガーデン あなたを待つのよ白い息はきながら クリスマスの歌流れるメリーゴーランド 街を見降ろせば車も人込みも 夢を描いては忙しそう…
スプーン一杯の朝 あなたの腕まくら カーテン揺らす モーニング・シャイン 天使が輪をつくり 踊る小粋なステップ 寒いわ...私 ha ha…
冬のアルバム あなたの部屋を訪ねた 冬の午後の日 グレイのソファーにもたれ 愛を綴るわ 入れてくれた紅茶さえも 何故か熱いままよ だか…
白い恋人 誰も知らない心の中に 白いシュプール描き あなたの顔に似ていると そうよ今朝気づいたの スキー片手に笑いころげる 暖炉を…
花時計咲いた 遠い海を越えてゆくかもめの群れ 空に浮かぶ白い船のようね 私のこと一緒に連れて行ってよ そうよあの人のいる街 あれからた…
風は秋色 La la la la la Oh ミルキィ・スマイル あなたの腕の中で旅をする Oh ミルキィ・スマイル 抱きしめて …
