Matsuda Seiko

 (松田聖子) is a Japanese soloist, songwriter, and actress. Her career began after she won the Miss Seventeen Contest in 1978.

She debuted as an idol singer in 1980 with Hadashi no Kisetsu which was a moderate hit upon release. However her career took off after the release of her second single Aoi Sangoshou and she became the top selling idol of the 1980s.

In June 1985 she went on extended live performance hiatus after marrying actor Kanda Masaki. She returned to live performance in 1987 and has been active ever since.

Her daughter was singer/actress Kanda Sayaka (1986-2021.)
