It was a dreamlike night where both came true. - Aki Yashiro Aki Yashiro's night where her 50-year dream came true. This is a live album from her first overseas jazz performance, held on March 27th at Birdland, a long-established jazz club in New York. Last year, her jazz album "Yoru no Album," where she covered standard numbers, reminiscing about her days as a club singer before her debut as an enka singer, became a big hit. The album was distributed not only in Japan but also in 75 countries worldwide, including the United States. Following that, a special one-night-only live performance was held. She delivered a well-coordinated performance with a band of local jazz musicians formed for this occasion, captivating an audience of 500. In addition to the songs from "Yoru no Album," she also performed jazz arrangements of her representative songs such as "Ame no Bojyo" and "Funauta." Furthermore, towards the end of the stage, she achieved a collaboration with Helen Merrill (82 years old), the oldest active female jazz singer whom she had admired for many years. They performed a long-awaited duet. The live performance was broadcast on NHK General on April 29th as a documentary program titled "Enka no Joou Jazz wo Utau ~Aki Yashiro, New York de no Chousen~" (The Queen of Enka Sings Jazz ~Aki Yashiro's Challenge in New York~), becoming a major topic of discussion. For Aki Yashiro, who encountered jazz in the fifth grade of elementary school and aspired to be a club singer, performing at a prestigious club in authentic New York was a night where her 50-year dream truly came true. This work reproduces that moving stage, recorded in the order of the performance that night. *This work will be released by Universal Music LLC, through the courtesy of Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd., Aki Yashiro's record label.
