THE CHRISTMAS SONGTakeuchi Mariya41rank/position
An exquisite Christmas song by Mariya Takeuchi, who calls herself a “singer‑song full-time housewife.” The lyrics are entirely in English, making it a great choice for background music.
Its stylishness sets it apart from other Christmas songs, a unique atmosphere that only her voice can create.
It’s one of the tracks included on the single “Quiet Life,” released on cassette in 1992.
She has many Christmas songs and they often get buried among her other masterpieces, but this one is definitely a gem as well!
A yardstick for happinessTakeuchi Mariya42rank/position
It’s their 36th single, released in 2008.
It served as the theme song for “Around 40: Women with Many Requests,” starring Yuki Amami, who also took part in the chorus.
With its upbeat rhythm, it’s an encouraging, energizing song.
Storm of LoveTakeuchi Mariya43rank/position
A song released in 1986.
Although the lyrics depict an extramarital affair, the bright rhythm keeps it from feeling heavy.
The light chorus at the beginning is striking, and even though it’s a painful love, it somehow makes your heart dance…
It’s a quintessential song of hers that captures the feelings of a woman in that situation.
One-Sided Love in TearsTakeuchi Mariya44rank/position
“Namida no One-Sided Love” is the B-side track to Mariya Takeuchi’s third single “SEPTEMBER,” released in 1979.
The song tells the story of a chance encounter that leads to love at first sight and a one-sided crush, but just as she resolves to confess her feelings, she finds out he already has a girlfriend.
Special loverTakeuchi Mariya45rank/position
This is a song for which Seiko Matsuda extended an offer as her 30th debut anniversary single, leading to a realized collaboration.
She later covered it herself, and it is included on the album “TRAD.” Backing vocals by her husband, Tatsuro Yamashita, are also featured.
Winter LoversTakeuchi Mariya46rank/position
This is their 27th single, released as a double A-side with “Camouflage,” which came out in 1998.
It became their first number-one on the Oricon singles chart since their debut.
Like “Camouflage,” this track fully showcases her distinctive musical style.
You like whiskey, don’t you?Takeuchi Mariya47rank/position
It’s a song famous as a commercial jingle sung by Sayuri Ishikawa, but in fact Mariya Takeuchi included it on her 2010 album “TRAD.” The fact that it isn’t one of her own compositions brings out a different side of her, making it a quietly popular track I’d love you to listen to.
Let’s go home, my sweet home.Takeuchi Mariya48rank/position
No matter what age of women’s love she sings about, Mariya Takeuchi’s songs always make you nod and say, “Exactly, that’s so true,” and you can sing along with deep empathy.
I want to sing them with a clear voice—sweetly and gently.
Even when you’re married and sometimes feel you’ve grown tired of your partner, women still want to keep on being in love.
Time TravelerTakeuchi Mariya49rank/position
Mariya Takeuchi has produced many classic songs, and she has also released tracks in English.
Among them, the one I particularly recommend is “Jikuu no Tabibito.” Because it’s in English, pronunciation can be a hurdle, but if you can get past that, you’ll find this song very easy to sing.
It’s a ballad with a calm, Carpenteresque melody, without sudden jumps in pitch and with a relatively narrow vocal range.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-sing English song, be sure to check it out.
Seriously Only You (Let’s Get Married)Takeuchi Mariya50rank/position
It’s a classic that seems made for weddings, opening with an intro that quotes Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.” The proposal words, written entirely in English, resonate as a straightforward message of love.
Included on Mariya Takeuchi’s April 1984 album “VARIETY,” the song was produced by Tatsuro Yamashita.
It’s also well known that Ryuichi Sakamoto took part in the intro performance, and that it was used as the image song for Kagome’s “Libera” in 1984 and as a Nissan “Cefiro” commercial song starting in August 1994.
Brimming with a happy atmosphere, it would be perfect to play during the entrance at your reception or for the cake-cutting scene.
