Two Zard CD’s will be coming out next month. “Soffio di Vento” (Breath of Wind) is a selection of Izumi Sakai’s favorite songs, and “Brezza di Mare” (Sea Breeze) is a selection of Zard songs from the Zard staff and production team. There will also be a book with photos, Sakai’s handwritten lyrics, etc. I might have to pick them up when we visit Japan later this year. Also this year, there will be two tribute concerts called “What a Beautiful Memory”. The first one will be in Osaka on Sept 7, and the second at Budokan in Tokyo on Sept 14. I wonder who the artists are who will be performing Zard tunes…
