美國知名貝斯手Leland Sklar自1960年代起投入音樂圈，和他合作過的知名歌手不計其數，包括 James Taylor、Jackson Browne、Carole King、Linda Ronstadt、Phil Collins、Toto、The Doors、Suzy Bogguss和Lyle Lovett等。他參與的專輯超過2000張，也參與過「天龍特攻隊」、「霹靂遊俠」、「阿甘正傳」、「第六感生死戀」等熱門戲劇的配樂。由於他對流行音樂的卓越貢獻，他在2026年和Keith Urban、Dolly Parton等人一起獲選為「音樂名人堂」（Musicians Hall of Fame）的成員。
在2020年疫情期間，Leland Sklar開設了自己的YouTube頻道，他會在影片中講述自己過往的工作經歷，由於是流行音樂史的第一手資料，因此深受樂迷歡迎。他在近期的一集影片中，提及了他和中島美雪工作的過往。
中島美雪從1991年起，便開始前往美國洛杉磯進行錄音工作，並和當地的樂手合作，其中便包括Leland Sklar。兩人合作的作品主要散見於「日-WINGS」（1999年）、「月-WINGS」（1999年）、「短篇集」（2000年）、「心守歌」（2001年）、「おとぎばなし-Fairy Ring-」（2002年）這些專輯。
Leland Sklar在影片中先簡單介紹一下中島美雪，接著播放兩首她的歌曲，分別是「粉雪は忘れ薬 / 細雪是遺忘藥」（來自2000年專輯「短篇集」）和「ローリング / Rolling」（來自1993年專輯「時代-Time goes around-」），他還說，因為看不懂日文，所以他其實不知道歌曲在唱什麼，只是覺得很好廳而已。
Renowned American bassist Leland Sklar has been in the music industry since the 1960s, collaborating with many famous artists, including James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, Phil Collins, Toto, The Doors, Suzy Bogguss, and Lyle Lovett. He has worked on over 2,000 albums and contributed soundtracks to popular films and television series such as "The A-Team", "Knight Rider", "Forrest Gump", and "Ghost". Due to his outstanding contributions to popular music, he was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame in 2026, alongside Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, and others.
During the 2020's pandemic, Sklar launched his own YouTube channel, where he shares his past work experiences. Because he offers firsthand information on popular music history in his videos, the channel becomes popular among fans. In a recent episode, he talked about his past work with Miyuki Nakajima.
Since 1991, Miyuki Nakajima began recording in Los Angeles and collaborated with local musicians, including Leland Sklar. Their collaboration can be found on albums such as "Sun: WINGS" (1999), "Moon: WINGS" (1999), "Short Stories" (2000), "Lullaby for the Soul" (2001), and "Otogibanashi-Fairy Ring-" (2002).
In the video, Sklar first gives a brief introduction to Nakajima, then plays two of her songs: "Powdery Snow / 粉雪は忘れ薬" (from the 2000 album "Short Stories") and "Rolling / ローリング" (from the 1993 album "Jidai: Time Goes Around"). He also said that because he can't read Japanese, he doesn't actually know what the songs are about, but he just enjoyed these songs very much.
