History Music / SeikoMatsuda

* EightiesHair: That poofy, flippy, mushroom-shaped, hair that all girls wore back then? No surprise she had it also and often.

* CuteLittleFangs: It's there but not distracting or as extreme as the "yaeba". She's Japanese after all.

* SillyLoveSongs

Her first ex-husband, Masaki Kanda, is an actor in his own right, while actress and singer Sayaka Kanda was her only child.

What with her extensive, ongoing career along with personal life and others, do proceed to Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seiko_Matsuda here]] for more information. For the discography as well. A decades worth of work is not easy to go by, when listing them all.

* AwardBaitSong: ''Glass no Ringo'' and ''Kitto... mata aeru''.
** She also contributed two of of these to [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong Japanese dubs of Western films]]: "I'll Fall In Love" and "Eien no Motto Mate Made", from ''Film/{{Bewitched}}'' and ''Film/{{Pan}}'' respectively.

!!Provides examples of:

* IdolSinger: ''Maybe'' at the start. But she's far from having outlived how much she is beloved by everyone and became successful even in the midst of having gotten married and having a child, (who is also a singer, known as SAYAKA). In fact, she's one of the most successful examples of an idol singer who was able to keep herself together.

* FollowTheLeader: It's an opinion whether other famous, Japanese female teen idols of the 80s are just mere clones of Matsuda. Averted for some who have considered her as their rival. Notably, Akina Nakamori (though it's just promoted as such and the two actually respect each other).

'''''Seiko Matsuda''''' (born ''Noriko Kamachi'' on March 10, 1962) is--in a nutshell--the definition of a JPop TeenIdol of the [[TheEighties 1980s]]. Dubbed as the "[[FanNickname Eternal Idol]]" because of her [[LongRunner long career]].

* LetsDuet: With [[NewKidsOnTheBlock Donnie Wahlberg]]. The song itself, "The Right Combination", was kind of a hit.

* GirlNextDoor: Her famous image.

Needless to say, she is the most well-known artist of her day and even now. She was consecutively receiving no. 1 hits with the songs she sang. ''Twenty-four'' consecutive no. 1 hits, to be specific. With that in her arsenal, it's no surprise that she's became famous not only in Japan anymore. Ask any of the adults who grew up in the 80s about Japanese Pop music and they'll most likely bring her name up, whether they were fans of her or not.
