Matsui Sakiko Solo Debut - '呼吸するピアノ' ('Kokyuusuru Piano')

Last month it was announced that Matsui Sakiko will be making her solo debut as a pianist with her piano album release on the 3rd of October. Sakiko is currently a senior majoring in piano in the Department of Instrumental Music at Tokyo College of Music, and the only AKB48 member enrolled in a music college. Before the announcement last month, Sakiko had already been performing her piano skills in several AKB48 concerts and I totally love it whenever she's playing the piano.

With her solo debut, Sakiko will be the 6th from AKB48 to become a soloist - since she will debut earlier than Yukirin - and the first to debut as a pianist.

The cover of the CD+DVD version was illustrated by fellow AKB48 member, Sato Natsuki, which was chosen from amongst many other illustrations drawn by other AKB48 members. The cover of the CD-Only version was directed by another AKB48 member, Ishida Haruka.

Definitely a must buy for me. Been waiting for her debut as a pianist for quite some time already!
