Born in 1962, Japan's top idol, Seiko Matsuda, is known by the Japanese as "eternal idol", just like Teresa Teng Chinese. As a singer, Matsuda Wrote and composed music, succeeded Momoe Yamaguchi, invincible in the Japanese music scene in the 1980s, setting the top of the female singer's 24 consecutive single sales charts, and maintaining this record for 23 years (later overtaken by Ayumi Hamasaki). Her career as a singer has been summed up as "being popular with talent alone.") As an actress, Matsuda Seiko has starred in more than 30 film and television works. In addition, she has written and published 13 books.
Today, the 59-year-old Matsuda Seiko is "old" and has become a director across the border. Invited by renowned Singaporean producer Yau Kam Hoi, Seiko Matsuda created and directed the second episode of HBO's original Asian horror series "Asian Strange Talk 2", "The Day the Wind Rises". "The Day the Wind Rises" tells the story of mika (Harori Takahashi) who meets idol singer Ken (Morizaki). The story is based on The Horror Experience of Seiko Matsuda. She said: "I used to have an assistant who claimed to be able to see ghosts. One day, she said she saw a ghost at my concert, and the ghost still appeared at every show! I couldn't see the ghost, I didn't know if what she said was true or not, or why the ghost kept appearing, and I still remember this story. Although it is a ghost play, Matsuda Seiko thinks it is more like a love story.
