[Item]   aa28 * Record # : W-17 * Japanese City Pop of 1970s & 1980s has been becoming more and more popular lately in the U.S. and European countries    as well as Asian countries. Among those songs, "STAY WITH ME"  by Miki Matsubara is considered as one of the most popular songs.
   She made her debut by releasing this single record in November, 1979. At that time, she was just 19 years old.    After that, she entertained lots of people as a lyricist & a composer as well as a J-pop singer.       Unfortunately, in 2004, she died of cancer when she was 44 years old.    "STAY WITH ME" is the biggest gift from Miki to our world.
* SUPER  RARE !!    It has Miki's autograph on the photo-jacket which was written in February, 1980.    It reads,  "Miki    Stay with Me    '80 . 2."    (In Japanese, in this case,  "2" means "February".)    That means she put this autograph just 3 months after her major debut.     Miki died of cancer on Oct. 7th, 2004.    It is the proof of her existence on earth with us in those days. 
   It was one of its former owner's personal collections.     So, there is no Certificate of Authenticity.
