My Precious You Seiko Matsuda [My Precious You / Important You]

Speaking of Seiko Matsuda in the 1990s, many people probably think of the mega-hit “Anata ni Aitakute ~Missing You~” or this song, “Taisetsu na Anata.” Released as a single in 1993, “Taisetsu na Anata” was used as a TV drama’s theme song and remains popular as a bright pop tune that only Seiko Matsuda could deliver—combining the charm of an eternal idol with the skill of an experienced singer-songwriter.

If you try singing it, you’ll notice her characteristically soaring high notes do appear, but the range isn’t excessively high overall, and the melody is easy to grasp, making it very singable.

If you find her high tones from the ’80s a bit tough, this might be a great song to start with!
