Whenever i browse the internet, i can not find enough information on her!
She is an amazing singer and yet i wonder if people have heard of her. I think she was popular in the late 80's and early 90's. Are there any fans of her here?? :puppydog:

I'm not a fan in general but has several drama/movie theme songs that she performed.

BTW I'm not sure this is the right forum for a singer. Maybe in 'Japanese Entertainment' ? Mods?

Not a fan, but I loved her songs which were Sleeping Forest themesong, Camouflage. And Shiroi Kage's themesong, Mayonaka no Nightingale^^

And another info on her, is that she's the wife of a popular composer and singer, Yamashita Tatsuro...who often sings dorama/movie themesongs too, like GdLuck's RIDE ON TIME, Ren-ai Shashin(Collages of Life)'s 2000 Ton no Ame...and many, many more^^ I'm a big fan of the husband's songs^^

Oh right, Takeuchi Mariya's song had become a sub-themesong recently, in Matsu Takako's recent drama, Yakusha Damashii. Uhh...I forgot the title :sweat:

I really like her voice, really unique. And when I heard her, I thought she's this old lady in her 60s :beaten: Turns out, she was in her 40s, when she sung Camouflage and Mayonaka... And her picture in the Mayonaka single was very pretty too, like a lady in her early 30s! Btw, she's 51 now^^

This is her Wiki info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeuchi_Mariya
