Memorial Collection "Best" - Wakare no Asa [Limited Release]

[Machine Translation] Still respected by many great singers, Yoko Maeno, called a legendary diva, sashayed onto the stage as the first vocalist of Pedro & Capricious in 1972, and had a big hit with "Farewell Morning," which reached No. 1 on the Oricon charts. He also worked with Ricky & 960 Pond and as a solo artist from the end of the 1960s to the 1980s. She had a rare combination of beauty and singing ability, but regrettably, she died suddenly at the age of 40 in 1988 without being able to fully demonstrate her qualities. Most of the recordings she left behind were released on CD from 2011 to 2012 as part of the "Yoko Maeno Memorial Collection Series" (excluding the early Ricky & 960 Pond recordings), a total of 7 titles (6 of which were released on CD for the first time). In 2018, the 30th anniversary of her death, the first best album that transcends the boundaries of labels and condenses her precious singing is completed.

今尚数々の名歌手からリスペクトされ、伝説のディーヴァと呼ばれる前野曜子は、1972年ペドロ&カプリシャスの初代ヴォーカルとして颯爽とステージに登場し、「別れの朝」を大ヒットさせオリコン1位を獲得した。他にもリッキー&960ポンドやソロとして60年代終わりから80年代まで活動。稀な美貌と歌唱力を兼ね備えていた彼女は、その資質を充分に発揮させる事なく惜しくも1988年に40歳という若さで急逝。彼女が遺した音源のほとんどは、2011～12年に"前野曜子メモリアル・コレクション・シリーズ" (初期リッキー&960ポンドの音源を除く)として全7タイトル (内6タイトルが初CD化)がCD発売された。そして没後30周年記念に当たる2018年、レーベルの枠を超え彼女の貴重な歌唱を凝縮した初のベスト・アルバムが完成。
