It's been revealed that actress/pianist Matsushita Nao has participated in singer Che'Nelle's 8th album "Che'Nelle World" (February 11 release). The album will include a special version of "Happiness", which was the theme song for Matsushita's starring drama 'Dear Sister' as "Happiness feat. Matsushita Nao" with Matsushita on the piano. 

Matsushita and Che'Nelle teamed up this time after their collaboration performance of "Happiness" on Fuji TV's 'FNS Kayousai' last month. Che'Nelle, who was inspired by Matsushita's piano performance, suggested that they collaborate again to which Matsushita willingly agreed. 

On January 8, the two met at a studio in Tokyo to delve into recording the song. However, Che'Nelle lost her voice due to bad condition of her throat. Yet, Che'Nelle stayed to witness the recording of Matsushita's part. "Matsushita-san's piano is beautiful and elegant. I was healed. I want to listen to it forever without the song," she expressed. 

Matsushita also commented, "I love Che'Nelle-san's 'Happiness'. I was very happy to have a joint performance with just piano and song without an orchestra or band."
