Overcoming Sayaka’s Tragedy and Starting in Earnest! Seiko Matsuda’s long-awaited TV appearance has already “spurred a theory of her return to Kohaku”.

Seiko Matsuda, now 62 years old, made her first TV appearance since the sudden death of her only daughter, Sayaka Kanda, and has become a topic of conversation for her “shockingly beautiful” appearance, which makes it hard to believe that she has reached her 60th year. NHK is said to be in a state of excitement over the “eternal idol” who has finally begun her comeback in the TV world.

On March 9, Seiko appeared on Fuji Television’s music program “MUSIC FAIR” for the first time in four years as the centerpiece of the program’s 60th anniversary and 3,000th episode. She performed several songs from her latest album “SEIKO JAZZ 3” released on February 14, including a jazz version of “Akai Sweet Pea” with English lyrics. Moreover, this was her first TV appearance since the death of Sayaka, her child with ex-husband Masateru Kanda, who fell to his death in December 2009.

Seiko emotionally sang Eric Clapton’s classic “Tears in Heaven” and other songs on the same program, performed by world-renowned bassist Nathan East, who produced the album. The song is known to have been written by Clapton in memory of his son, who fell to his death at an early age.

In singing this song passionately in front of the audience, we could also see Seiko’s professional resolve to think of Sayaka in Heaven and overcome her grief. What was also a surprise to her fans, who had been worried about Seiko’s absence from the TV world, was that she appeared in a white one-piece dress and still had her youthful beauty and style with clear skin.

The radiance that emanated from her entire body, her smooth singing voice, and Seiko’s smile remained unchanged, and people on social networking sites were asking, “How can she be so beautiful? She was full of comments on social networking sites, such as, “How can she be so beautiful?

Seiko was so shocked by the sudden death of her beloved daughter that she withdrew from the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen on New Year’s Eve in 2009, which she was scheduled to participate in about two weeks later. She returned to the stage in April 2010 with a dinner show, followed by a concert tour, but she had never appeared on TV before.
