Translation into Japanese

Hi Yun,
Yes I do remember. Some were really some gems like STAR, but yesterday I had absolutely no
complaints over the standard songs which I have heard so so many times before and
which Seiko had probably sung hundreds of times. 

It was as if she wanted to sing those standards all over again. In her MC, she 
said that "going forward she wants to go back to the time of age 16 when all 
she thought of and felt was only the love of singing and nothing else. No fear 
of failures... but purely singing from the heart and yearning just to have 
people to want to listen to her sing". 

I felt she meant every single word of that, because every song that she sang 
she somehow managed to bring shivers down my spine. I have never seen her sing 
in such a way. It has nothing to do with technicality at all. She really sang 
her hearts out with all her might (not in terms of physical strength but 
emotional strength). At this stage of her awesome 25th career, she was 
announcing that she wants to get back to zero... and she showed me she meant it.

I wished I could explain much better to do justice to her performance two 
nights ago... I don't seem to be able to find the right words. In one of the 
Japanese site, a fan wrote "..perhaps it is because there are no words that can 
express the true emotional highs you get when you finally experience the real 
thing of great moving performances".

This event will remain forever as the Seiko I see... not the 80s, 90s, Zepp, nor FUN. 

I don't remember all of it. Pls refer to my other mail for songs entitled "A note about the band"
