Silent Piano/Masato Matsuda

A melancholic melody spreads like ripples dancing on the surface of a lake... A soothing piano album that gently comforts your weary heart.

This album features gentle, soothing piano covers of popular songs by Jupp Vebin, who rose to global fame thanks to the Spotify playlist "Peaceful Piano," including "Ab Ovo" and "Sleeping Lotus," as well as timelessly popular Ghibli classics and globally beloved Western hits.

In addition, the album includes six exquisite original songs by Matsuda Masato, which harmonize a jazz feeling with classical elements in an exquisite balance.
