Album information
The album was produced to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Tsutsumi's professional career as a songwriter. Tadataka Watanabe, his younger brother who has worked as a record executive of Warner Music Japan, was credited as a producer of the whole album.
From among over five-hundreds of his compositions that entered the Japanese chart, following songs were chosen for the album. These original versions were also compiled on CD entitled The Popular Music: Original Compilation, and simultaneously released with tribute album.
About this project, Tsutsumi said as follow: "Songs I wrote 30 or 40 years ago were revisited by younger artists. They have completed 12 tracks for this album, in their own very distinctive and attractive renditions. As a songwriter, I couldn't be happier. I would like to show my greatest gratitude to all the artists and personnel who took part in producing the album."
