Playlist of Matsuda Seiko's 2025 80s Collection - Remastered and Pitch Corrected
Hello 👋🏻
I'd like to share my playlist of songs from Matsuda Seiko's 4x Song Collections released in 2025.
They include the following:
Seiko Daimond - Karuho Kureda Works
Seiko Invitation - Kazuo Zaitsu Works
Seiko Harmony - Haruomi Hosono Works
Seiko Feelings - Eiichi Ohtaki Works
As mentioned in the title, these are remasters, and I can tell the songs have been pitch-corrected. This does not mean auto-tuned, which is what most songs are these days. Pitch-correction helps those stray notes that are off-pitch, while retaining the other subtleties like vibrato, and note transitions.
I listen to her music almost daily. So I know almost every note, every pitch. I can definitely tell they used pitch correction. How do I feel about it? I haven't decided yet.
To be honest, there are some songs where Seiko was quite off in hitting the right note, and I wish I could correct it with a pitch adjusting app or software.
A subtle example might be in her song 水色の朝 - Mizu iro no Asa.
A VERY obvious example would be Rock'N'Roll Good-Bye. I basically couldn't listen to the original. I'd skip every time because off the off-pitch singing (partially intentional for the style of the song). But I can tolerate it now in the remastered version.
So for those songs, it's nicer to listen to, and they did adjust those in these collections.
Feel free to take a listen, and let me know your thoughts!
Can you also tell it uses pitch correction?
