Noriko Sakai 14th album “Work Out Fine”

Our all womans, becoming the age of 30s, are a welcome to the milestone age of their brilliant career. Their lives are combination of workout fine, taking family and personal standard of living. Our generation of born in 1980 as a fan, womans share same conditions of life in the milestone, which is metaphor of the themes in an artwork such as music.

In holiday morning one woman wakes up and brewed coffee. At the sunshine side of window, she listens up radio while eating breakfast and at the bus station she recalls back to the talk with coworkers yesterday. These gentle styles of melody and lyrics, it is indicating this album “Work Out Fine” as masterpiece. (おはようの風景) When listeners listen up this music, their mind are soon after empathic mood for the second track of the album “Work Out Fine”. The second track Ohayou no fuukei has an illustration of a career womans’s storytelling, the storytelling is fully filled with this album.

The other tracks Kugatsu no umi 9月の海, kono machide この街で, yokogao 横顔, siawase ni de-au houhou幸せに出会う方法, milk teaミルクティー, namidairo 涙色, and many other tracks are played with a joy, a collective mood about the sentiments of womanhood approaching to the age of 30s, which is also told in the introductory interview about this album.

The concept of this album’s meaningfulness for everyone is when fans and artist are aging together, recalling back to the past moment with happy smile and entertainment. There we had bitter and sweet in life (涙色) but morning is again coming up (おはようの風景) and tears of memory (ミルクティー) it is healing and easy listening musics for woman working out fine.

It is often said 1970s and 1980s idols are spotlighted every moments when they have special news in their life, such as marriages and their turned out certain age, this album is what Noriko is proven as experienced entertainer, in terms of supporting similarly age womans not only children’s worldview. Her songs are having support feelings not only men, but womans too.

I think this album is what we must listen up at least once. It is how a large scale she is at the Japanese entertainment cultures. The age of 27, she released this album, making it empathic by fans who are womans approaching 30s.

She is actively working at entertainment industry, as a singer, actress, model, narrator, and mother, wife, ambassador for children, many fans celebrated her experiences. The album is listened up this meaning too and I recommend this album to many others even not a fan too.
