“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.

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.

It’s famous as a song provided to the idol singer Miho Nakayama.

It was also used as Shiseido’s spring 1986 campaign song.

The version sung by Mariya Takeuchi herself has a mature vibe that brings out a different charm, and I highly recommend it.

It’s a track I really want you to listen to.

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.

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.

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.

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.
