A singer who found her stride with late-80s hits and a 1992 drama ballad.
For the late-80s pop side, listen to "Catch Me." For the ballad that defined her for a wider audience, it's "Sekaijuu No Dare Yori Kitto."
She came up in that mid-80s idol wave, but her 1988 song "Catch Me" was the one that really stuck. A few years later, "Sekaijuu No Dare Yori Kitto" became the theme for the drama "101st Proposal," and for a lot of people that's the song they know. It's a specific sound from a specific time in Japanese pop.
She debuted at 14 with the single "C" in 1985. After a break in the late 90s, she returned to recording in the early 2000s and has done some acting work alongside the music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
