A record of a "dream" told through the eyes of a young girl - the transparent sparkle of an 80's idol.
This work by Hori Chiemi symbolizes the golden age of idols in the 1980s. Her life-sized sensibility and pop melody capture a glittering moment of youth.
"Yume Nikki" is a song that Hori Chiemi released in 1982, and even though it was released in the midst of the idol boom, her pure and modest singing voice stands out. The lyrics, which are written from a young girl's perspective about the gap between dreams and reality, and the sweet yet sad melody are characteristic, and although it is by no means flashy, it has a tranquility and delicacy that can suddenly touch the listener's heart.
