Glory of Mariya Takeuchi --- Diva in Japanese popular music scene

Mariya Takeuchi is a japanese singer-song-writer born at Izumo City as a daughter of the parents who managed an inn. In that city, there is one of the biggest Japanese shrine, Izumo Taisha. Before the ages of letters (6th century or before), there were 3 super powers in Japan, and one of them located at Izumo. But nowadays it is a quiet local city.

Mariya studied abroad at Rock Falls High School, Illinois, and went on to Keio University, Tokyo. She started her career when she was a student of the university. Her music is essentially based on the 60's pops in US, though she is a woman in genious as you will aware at the moment you listen her music. The first figure is the jacket of her first album "Beginning" published at 1978.

The first song of the first album is "Good-bye summer breeze", that is one of my favorite songs.
