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
涙など見せない 強気なあなたを
そんなに悲しませた人は 誰なの?
終りを告げた恋に
すがるのはやめにして
ふりだしから また始めればいい
幸せになりたい 気持ちがあるなら
明日を見つけることは とても簡単
少しやせた そのからだに
似合う服を探して
街へ飛び出せばほら
みんな振り返る
チャンスは何度でも
訪れてくれるはず
彼だけが男じゃないことに気付いて
あなたの小さな mistake
いつか想い出に変わる
大人への階段をひとつ上ったの
人生はあなたが 思うほど悪くない
早く元気出して あの笑顔を見せて
