Takeuchi started her own career with a single "Modotte-Oide, Watashi no Jikan" in 1978. From the late 1970s to the early '80s, she has recorded 5 albums and several singles including top-ten hit "Fushigi na Peach Pie". Those materials have featured dozens of Japanese and North American distinguished songwriters, instrumentalists, and producers, such as David Foster, Jim Keltner, Jay Graydon, Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro, David Hungate, Kazuhiko Kato, Kunihiko Kase, Shigeru Suzuki, Takashi Matsumoto, and her future long-term partner Tatsuro Yamashita.
"Heart to Heart", one of her songs co-written by Roger Nichols and released in 1980, was recorded by the Carpenters two years later, and became the last recording for the late Karen Carpenter.
In 1981, Takeuchi married to a singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, and stopped her career temporarily owing to the pregnancy. After her comeback to the Japanese music industry in 1984, she has accomplished huge commercial success more than when she was single. From that year to the present, she has recorded 6 successful studio albums that mainly consisted of her self-penned songs, and all of them have reached #1 on the Japanese Oricon chart.
As a singer-songwriter, she has produced 8 top-ten hit singles on the Oricon, including "Single Again", "Kokuhaku", "Junai Rhapsody", "Konya wa Hearty Party" and her only #1 hit "Camouflage".

竹内まりや Lyrics
Never Cry Butterfly 君の空が 泣きだしても Oh, never cry butterfly 負けちゃダメだよ 精一杯に 生きてるから 傷つい…
みんなひとり 荒(すさ)んだ世界に あなたのような人が いることに感謝 夢が遠く見えて 肩落とす夜は 電話をさせてよ 恋人ともちがう …
クリスマスは一緒に あなたの街に 初雪舞い (It's cold!) 今かと その帰りを待つの 会えない日が こんなに続いたら 写真だけじゃ…
スロー・ラヴ どうしてそんな風に 急いで生きてるの 僕のアドヴァイスも 上の空さ 他人と比べながら 幸せ量るから 足りてるのはいつも …
ラスト・デイト ふいに曇った 夏の終わりの空が あなたの移り気な心 無言で伝えてる まさかとのぞく 私の不安な目を まっすぐ返せないなん…
人生の扉 春がまた来るたび ひとつ年を重ね 目に映る景色も 少しずつ変わるよ 陽気にはしゃいでた 幼い日は遠く 気がつけば五十路を…
哀しい恋人 今夜限りでもう二人は 逢えなくなるとわかっていた 好きになるほど大切なもの 失くす予感におびえたから こうして密かな闇に…
明日のない恋 人里はなれ 出かけたヴィラの 窓からのぞく メイプルの葉は 風が吹くたび 哀しく揺れて 心細さにふたり寄り添う ブランケ…
終楽章 あどけのない その笑顔に 惑わされて ためらわれて 幾度となく 言いそびれた 本当のこと 今話すわ 少し寒い…
返信 大好きな ほほえみを 失った今でも 心が覚えてる 温かいあなたの手 残された 文字とともに... あの頃と変わらずに き…
