Matsuda Seiko got her start in auditioning when she was in her first year of high school in 1978 for CBS Records' Miss Seventeen contest. Singing Sakurada Junko's Kimagure Venus, Matsuda would passed the Kyushu region auditions and eventually winning the competition later on. Although at first her parents didn't want their daughter in the idol business, they let Matsuda sign onto Sun Music Productions a year after her victory.

Matsuda debut as an actress first later in 1979 with her first role being in the dorama Odaiji ni. She would also become an regular on the NHK Show Let's Go Young and a DJ for radio show The Panchi Panchi Panchi. She finally made her singing debut in 1980, releasing the single Hadashi no Kisetsu with the catchphrase "I Want to Hold You! Miss Sony" (抱きしめたい! ミス・ソニー).

After that release, Matsuda quickly become one of the top idols by her trademark short hairstyle. By the end of 1980, she the top the sales charts for the sale of Bromaide cards. By the end of 1980, Matsuda would go and win the Rookie of the Year Award at various music festivals and award ceremonies. She would win the convent spot of No. 1 for the survey, asked to men, of who you want to marry in 1984.

In May of 1985, Matsuda would go to Mexico to star in the television dorama Caribou Ai no Symphony, which became one of the top shows during the Prime-Time during that year. She would eventually marry her co-star, actor Kanda Masaki, before the year was up and gave birth to their first daughter, SAYAKA, a year after. She was given the nickname Mama Idol afterwards because of her wish of becoming a mama but still be an idol.

Matsuda soon persue a new career path when she opened her own fashion shop Flawless in 1988. Then two years later, she made her debut on the American music scene with her first English album Seiko. While promoting the album, Matsuda gained the nickname Eternal Young Girl as she performed all over America, including New York City. But the album didn't chart and didn't sell enough to make Matsuda an American idol. But, she wouldn't give up as she released two more singles later on, which those did make top ten on the American charts.

In May 1996, Matsuda would go to appear semi nude in the American magazine BIKINI. But, she also changed record labels to Universal Music Japan as she released the single Anata ni Aitakute ~Missing You~. The single was Matsuda's first #1 single to chart in eight years and sold over a million copies. But, with success there is a fall when she divorced Kanda Masaki in 1997. She would later remarry to a close friend for two years in 1998 till they divorced in 2000.

To celebrate the new millennium, Matsuda once again chaged labels to Sony Music Japan in 2002 til 2009 when she changed back to Universal Music Japan. She would release the album Sunshine in 2004, which resulted as Matsuda's first top ten album in a while. She also celebrate her twenty-fifth anniversary a year later by having a the fairy tour at various place, including the Saitama Super Arena. Attended by 5,000 fans, Matsuda showed off her new special skill to them, singing in Chinese.
