This is a great CD, especially for someone just getting into Keiko's music. It contains a "collection" of songs from two of her CDs, Under Northern Lights and No Borders (her 2nd and 3rd CDs respectively). The best half of each of these CDs is present on Collection.

I would recommend first time listeners to start with "Full moon and the shrine" and then buy this cd. Warning : Keiko Matsui is very addictive !!

KEIKO is one of the few women who ranks in the top three for real music.I tell you, she plays for stage, dancing, exercising and relaxing all role into one.
