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".

Who's that girl in love?
Hey Linda
泣いてばかりの 恋はもう終わったの
さあ Linda
涙をふいて その瞳あけてごらん
いちばん好きな あの人
子供の頃に夢見た幸せをつかまえたのね
ねえ Linda
今日のあなたは 誰よりも輝いてる
でも Linda
約束してね その笑顔忘れないと
Who's that girl in love?
Who's that girl in love?
Hey Linda
The lonely days are through
No more sorrows and teardrops on your face
Hey Linda
So smile and look at yourself
You're the prettiest, the happiest in this world
He came to you just to love you
Hold you and kiss you
Don't ever be afraid anymore
He can be strong when you're weak
Right when you're wrong
And will guide you where to go taking your hand
Hey Linda
The sunshine of your eyes
Makes you brighter than any other girl
But Linda
Before you walk away
Just remember, I'll always be your friend
Who's that girl in love?
Who's that girl in love?
Who's that girl in love?
Who's that girl in love?
Who's that girl in love?
Who's that girl in love?
