The Works of Mariya Takeuchi 2(竹内まりや)

 

Oh, dopey me. I'm four days late in wishing singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi a Happy Birthday! But here's hoping that her family enjoyed themselves on the special day. Last year (when I did remember her birthday), I acknowledged the day with a Yutaka Kimura Speaks translated piece about the singer. When I thought about whether to do a Creator article about her, I quickly realized that I had already done one back in 2019.

However for that first entry, I introduced some songs created by Takeuchi in that article that had never been covered before. Well, then, I decided that for this one, I'll bring the comfort food...songs by her that have their own articles from way back when just to remind viewers about what she has given other singers. And of course, this is by no means a comprehensive list.

(1982) Naoko Kawai -- Kenka wo Yamete (けんかをやめて)


(1984) Hiroko Yakushimaru -- Genki wo Dashite (元気を出して)


(1984) Yukiko Okada -- Dreaming Girl


(1988) Masayuki Suzuki -- Misty Mauve


(1991) Riho Makise -- Miracle Love
