The heartbreaking story behind Miki Matsubara’s Stay With Me

[nachomania]

That sparkle in her eyer is telling me "enjoy the life while it lasts, cause its short". Extremely gorgeous.

[Ben-M-YT]

she was not able to stay with us long enough to see the impact she had😢

[RipNickkk]

She never got to know how much people loved her music 😢

[sweet.lemonadez]

It’s lowkey giving Vincent van Gough

Like he thought that no one liked his art but like now it’s in museums!

[VanyelStefan]

When she found out about her cancer diagnosis, she didn't tell anyone and ghosted everyone. She lived her final day's the way she wanted.

Miki Matsubara couldnt have foreseen that years after she died, people would listen to her music and would have a genuine interest in her life story.

[Eyes-Scream]

For me Miki Matsubara's "Stay With Me" is very legendary song that when you talk about Japanese City Pop there's no way you will not talk about her. Every City Pop compilation have Stay With Me on the list.
Japanese City Pop is a dreamy sound genre that is very addicting to listen every 12 midnight with a cold breeze outside while staring at the stars and the moon.
Her music is very popular back in the 80's and have a resurgence last 2020 and was now immortalized by the fans.

[MsTakiH]

She looks so happy and alive with that mic in her hand, her eyes aren’t empty like a lot of singers.

[Vutu_IDI]

Damn...
The "Stay with me" hits way harder now

[luvleyyunaa]

After 20 years, her song is truly still remembered.

[honiumi]

She sounds timeless, you'll easily identify a song from the 70's but Miki made it sound like it is from today.

[LeoAndela]

Literally 45 years later and we're still listening to it. It's one of the most important pieces of city pop and absolutely iconic. The impact it had can't be overstated

[MATTierial]

"Stay with me" and "Plastic Love" have done more for City Pop than any song has ever done for any other genre. It's too bad she didn't get to see this resurgence 😢

[NcturnalMYSTHIC]

You know, sometimes we forget that the person who made this playlist for us *might not be okay.* Yes, but i realise how much of a beautiful and caring human being she truly is, doesnt matter if only online, for us. Because it takes a lot to understand depression and..- everything else. It's been a year - though dont forget i also love you.

[angkhoi]

That "stay with me" feels so sad and happy at the same time :(

[KristenNguyen]

Her humbleness makes you adore her. I shed a tear thinking how she will never realize how much her music influenced generations to come

[Mawitea]

I'm born in 2004, October 7 and I love this song ❤

[_wheat]

Its kind of poetic. A song about someone walking out on their loved ones turned out to be the step in her career that pulled her further from her loved ones

[mephimoloch]

The crinkle on her eyes and nose when she smiles lulls me into her secure voice. She really has so much talent and love in her voice.

Rest in Heaven Miki Matsubara 🥺 you will be dearly missed. What a treasure.
