全部聴き通すには2時間以上かかるけど、お登紀さんの弾き語りコンサートで彼女の歴史を振り返るようなアルバムで、哀感溢れる名曲をここまでちりばめてもらったら聴かないわけに行かない、とても良い企画でした。

I came across with this special album in iTunes Store that compiles 20 songs in her repertoire and she talks an episode related to each one. Tokiko was not exactly an excellent singer as a university student, but her career kept growing most smoothly after her debut, and it was for me quite difficult to understand at that time.
She kept her track on rather minor genres such as chansons and gradually established her own style of singing as if talking that enabled her to share the sentiment with people living the mediocre life. I think she greatly depended on the presence of her late husband, Mr. Toshio Fujimoto for it. Entire listening of the album requires more than 2 hours, but it is like a journey looking back the history of “Otoki-san”. A quite pleasing project collecting her much-loved songs rich with pathos!
