Cd player 'In early 2010, as Pink Martini was preparing for their first tour of Asia, they received a call from Yuki's manager saying that she had loved the band's rendition of "Taya Tan" and wanted to meet them when they came to Japan. This first meeting occurred in Tokyo when Yuki joined Pink Martini singer China Forbes on stage for a rendition of "Taya Tan." Later that year Yuki was invited to sing the first-ever Japanese version of "White Christmas" for Pink Martini's holiday album Joy to The World.
Following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan earlier this year, Lauderdale invited Yuki to come to Portland to sing at a benefit at the same time, she and PM recorded "Yuuzuki," which was released by Starbucks to add to the Japan benefit. This collaboration led to the new album.'
It is quite brilliant and a lovely twist on the hugely popular Pink Martini theme of around the world easy listening . Classy and ageless. A lovely album.

I have been a fan of Saori Yuki since I was seven years old when her debut single "Yo-ake No Sucatto" was a big hit in Japan in 1969. I left Japan 5 years later and was not aware that she has been in the music business throughout the years releasing more than 40 albums. I still have her first 7" single and was so excited to learn that she would release an album with Pink Martini. I rarely pre-order any release but this time I need to get the CD as soon as it is out. She must be more than 60 years old now but her voice sounds so fresh and clear like her teen years. And the selection of songs are all my favorites from 1969. Yuzuki, Blue Light Yokohama and Puff (in Japanese) bring back fond memories of my happy childhood days in Japan. I love all the songs on this album. Arrangements by Pink Martini are as magnificent as ever. Hope there will be more of this kind.

Saori Yuki has been one of the most talented Japanese all-round singer and entertainer for 42 years. Now she joined Pink Martini and this brandnew album did WORLDWIDE release.
Very few Japanese language pop songs called Kayokyoku were released outside Japan and Asia and Kyu Sakamoto's "Sukiyaki" has long been the only worldwide success. Mega-successful superstars such as Seiko Matsuda and Hikaru Utada tried to do their worldwide debut with English songs, but they were miserably failed. But this album is entirely sung in Saori's beautiful Japanese language except "Du Soleil Plein Les Yeux" is sung in French.
The best favourite song for me is "Watashi Mo Anata To Naite Ii?". The original version sung by Mieko Kaneda was a small hit(Oricon #45 in 1969) but it has very gentle and moving lyrics and performed beautifully by Saori and PM.
The final song "Kisetsu No Ashioto" is a brandnew song but lyrics are by the notorious billionaire lyricist/producer Yasushi Akimoto, who masterminds extremely successful but shamefully amateurish girls groups such as Onyanko Club and AKB48.
Childish Japanese media don't take care of this big album so much but I hope this album will enjoy a worldwide success.

disappointing
I love Pink Martini - especially their first couple of albums. However I was hugely disappointed in this. It feels like they have lost the plot. Read more
