Matsumoto Takashi is currently celebrating his 50th anniversary as a songwriter. As part of this celebration, a new tribute album, “Kazemachi ni Tsuretette!”, will be released on July 14.
The album will feature covers of songs that Takashi has written for the likes of Seiko Matsuda, Happy End, Takeuchi Mariya, and Yakushimaru Hiroko, performed by acts such as B’z, Daichi Miura, Daoko, and Yoshioka Kiyoe of Ikimonogakari. The acts covering the songs were selected by the album’s producer, Kameda Seiji.
