Her music is by turns playful, heartfelt, melodic, ornate, and disarmingly simple, reflecting a love of music in all its forms and colors. She handles moody new wave, virtuosic fusion, traditional jazz ballads, straightahead pop, and singer-songwriter folk songs with equal aplomb.
Though she's recorded with many of the 20th century's greatest pop and jazz musicians, her primarily Japanese-language albums have kept her music below the radar of most English-language listeners. She's recorded with, among many others, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, members of Little Feat, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono, David Sylvian, Mick Karn, Kenji Omura, Jeff Bova, Yukihiro Takahashi, Charlie Haden, Peter Erskine, Anthony Jackson, David Rhodes, the band Quruli, and her son Futa Sakamoto.
Beyond her solo work, Yano has recorded with Thomas Dolby, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Chieftains, The Hammonds, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Kazumi Watanabe, The Boom, Tetsuro Kashibuchi, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. She appeared on the recording "Snowflake" reading a children's story in Japanese with Peter Gabriel reading in English and music by Akira Inoue and David Rhodes accompanying both.

夏のまぼろし
矢野顕子 Lyrics
土曜の午後には
いつもピアノを弾いてた
夢はまだ あの雲より
ずっと遠くにみえてた
おしろい花の咲く空地に
夕陽が落ちてゆくのを
いつまでもぼんやり ながめていた
なつかしいあの場所で
わらって手をふるのは
半分も生きないで
夏といっしょに逝ったひと
全てを燃やしつくすほど
今は生きていたいと思う
もしもたったひとつでも
できることがあるなら
だからここに座って
うたっていよう
ちょうど小さな手のひらに
包めるくらいのうたを
わたしに明日が来るように
光の中 眠れるように
見知らぬ誰かのこころに届くように
土曜の午後には
いつもピアノを弾いてた
夢はまだ あの雲より
ずっと遠くにみえてた
いつもピアノを弾いてた
夢はまだ あの雲より
ずっと遠くにみえてた
おしろい花の咲く空地に
夕陽が落ちてゆくのを
いつまでもぼんやり ながめていた
なつかしいあの場所で
わらって手をふるのは
半分も生きないで
全てを燃やしつくすほど
今は生きていたいと思う
もしもたったひとつでも
できることがあるなら
だからここに座って
うたっていよう
ちょうど小さな手のひらに
包めるくらいのうたを
わたしに明日が来るように
光の中 眠れるように
見知らぬ誰かのこころに届くように
土曜の午後には
いつもピアノを弾いてた
夢はまだ あの雲より
ずっと遠くにみえてた

Johannes Pong
on Tsuri ni Ikou [Why Don't We Go Fishing]
I don't know why, but I cry every time the 2nd verse comes along. Just this version, not other singers' renditions. Definitely tapping into some collective nostalgia for the innocence of childhood, the sheer beauty & transience of life.

I'm sorry, I mean in Kanji. Lol
