Perhaps more than any other musician of her generation, Japanese singer-songwriter Saho Terao has pursued the perfect "song". In the 16 years since her debut album, Terao has made songs ranging from Joni-mitchell inspired folk ballads to pop renditions of traditional Japanese lullabies. Saho Terao's ninth original studio album, Kita e Mukau (Going North) is a celebration of her history, but sounds fresh from beginning to end.
