Message from Tak Matsumoto
Happy 25th anniversary, ZARD! I wish you were here…
The last time we’ve met was when I had her sing 「Ihoujin」 on the cover album 「THE HIT PARADE」 I was producing.
She had a very charming and yet somehow sad voice, truly making it one of a kind in the world of Japanese pop music.
Almost 9 years have passed since she passed away, but the wonderful works she has left behind continue to enrich our daily lives.
Unfortunately, there won’t be any new works by ZARD, or by Izumi Sakai, but her works will live on for generations to come and will also be listened to by people in the future.
