Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi of the soon-to-debut Yellow Magic Orchestra along with Taeko Onuki and Happy End’s Shigeru Suzuki, came together to write, arrange and play on the LP. Her first full-length album, BEGINNING features an all-star cast in the credits. Her musical career didn’t start until 1978 while she was studying at Keio University, with the release of her single "Modotte-Oide, Watashi no Jikan" (Please come back, my time) and the album BEGINNING. In 1972, for her 3rd year of high school, she studied in Rock Falls, Illinois, United States as an international exchange student through the AFS Intercultural Programs. She had already learned to play the piano and guitar, but British rock-inspired her to travel.
By the time she was in 3rd grade she was already introduced to the Beatles, and from that point on, she had entered a whole new world of music that stood apart from the traditional standards she was used to. Everything from American pop, French songs, Italian music, tango, to jazz.
Her family loved music, as they would listen to records from all over the world. To understand how much of a career she’s had, we have to start at the beginning.īorn in 1955, Takeuchi grew up at her family Inn, the Takenoya, in the city of Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, along with her six siblings. And the worst part about it is that everyone seems to focus on that one song by her when she has made a variety (no pun intended) of other music throughout her career. For an event that pretty much exploited the heck out of Mariya’s iconography, even naming the event after her song, you would think that they play more than one song by her.they did not. They played songs that every City Pop enthusiast has heard a hundred times over already, the most notorious example being Plastic Love by Mariya Takeuchi. The amount of actual City Pop songs they played I can count on one hand, on top of that the songs they did choose, you can easily just find yourself with a simple YouTube/google search. Now don't get me wrong, the event was a blast, I’m not going to pretend that I wasn’t dancing my butt off, however in hindsight, the music selection wasn't what I was looking for. The event itself was called “Plastic City”, an obvious homage to a certain poplar YouTube sensation where for one night only, you can dance to City Pop and other retro 80's J-pop. I was at a party a few months ago in Little Tokyo, Downtown LA.
