Afterwards, she had played lead roles in various television dramas, film and theater. At 1996, she had secured her position as the top actress in Japan after acting with SMAP's Kimura Takuya in Long Vacation and Love Generation, 2 movies considered by many among the best of their genre.

She then switched to Horietsu High School. She was also cited as the youngest to host Kouhaku Utagassen in 1996 at the age of 19
In 1997, she had added her medium by debuting as a J-Pop artist, showing her versatility as an artist in general, writing and performing several top of the charts songs.

Wind Song
松たか子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
青い星ふたつ流れて
遥か遠い記憶の中の
あなたに会える
close to you 信じているよ
微笑みをなくしたあの日
優しさに出会ったあの時
長く続く果てしない道
close to you 夢見ているよ
数えきれないほど
涙止まらない夜に
そっとそばにいて
雨上がりの虹と朝の光のように
私を包んで
向こう岸に見えた
小さな灯り信じて
風を今 追いかけて
海を渡る鳥のように 空に翼広げ
約束の丘へと
帰る場所のない思い抱きしめて
それを今愛と名付けられるなら
空が落ちる日も 海が渇く日も
どんな痛みでも どんな悲しみも
遠く遠くても 遠く遠くへと
遠く遠くても 遠く遠くへと
