Saori Yuki -- Jinsei wa Subarashii(人生は素晴らしい)

 

On the cusp of her 60th anniversary in show business, veteran singer Saori Yuki(由紀さおり)appeared on one of the last episodes of "Uta Con"(うたコン)for 2024 and performed this song.

"Jinsei wa Subarashii" (Life is Wonderful) is her 66th single from April 2024 and it seems to absorb a number of musical styles: a bit of bossa here, a bit of AOR there and some sweet orchestral pop. The title is a big hint but I gather that this is a song of reassurance for everyone which encourages folks to stop and smell the roses once in a while. It was written by Goro Matsui(松井五郎), composed by Gioacchino Maurici and arranged by Masayuki Sakamoto(坂本昌之).
