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.

星の王子さま
矢野顕子 Lyrics
ぼくらは故郷をさがして
旅をつづけている 夢見てる
王さまも うぬぼれも 実業屋も
昔は子供だったこと 忘れただけさ
友達になろう
好きな花を育てよう
たいせつなこと 目には見えない
君がもし砂漠で迷ったら
ぼくは君の井戸になりたい
呑み助も 点燈夫も 地理学者も
気づかずに暮らしてる
儚いもののこと
友達になろう
心の花をさがそう
たいせつなこと 目には見えない
はなれていても
君の声がきこえる
輝く星は笑っているよ
友達になろう
心の花をさがそう
たいせつなこと 目には見えない
目には見えない
旅をつづけている 夢見てる
王さまも うぬぼれも 実業屋も
昔は子供だったこと 忘れただけさ
友達になろう
好きな花を育てよう
たいせつなこと 目には見えない
君がもし砂漠で迷ったら
ぼくは君の井戸になりたい
気づかずに暮らしてる
儚いもののこと
友達になろう
心の花をさがそう
たいせつなこと 目には見えない
はなれていても
君の声がきこえる
輝く星は笑っているよ
友達になろう
心の花をさがそう
たいせつなこと 目には見えない
目には見えない

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.
Wahyu Bali

I'm sorry, I mean in Kanji. Lol
