Mariya TakeuchiSinger song sengyō shufu
"Mariya Takeuchi" is a singer, and songwriter active since 1978.
One of the most remarkable singer-songwriter in the J-pop scene now a days.
Her catch-phrase, "Singer song sengyō shufu" is a shortened form of "singer-songwriter", and "sengyō shufu", which means a "dedicated house wife".
It is actually true in some ways, but very much humorous, and modest expression for a popular singer-songwriter like her.
