VA - Yamaguchi Momoe Tribute Thank You For...

The great Momoe Yamaguchi (山口百恵) started out in 1973 as a 70s idol and by her late teens had successfully transitioned to an utahime, or "song princess", the Japanese equivalent of diva.
While not having many number one hits, the combination of her mature beauty, sultry voice, and mystique has captivated singers and fans alike for 30+ years.
Retiring in 1980 at the age of 20 to marry fellow actor Tomokazu Miura (三浦友和), she has never come back into public life; fans, including me, still dream of a comeback someday.
In the meantime, her two sons are in showbiz, the oldest as the lead singer of now defunct band PEAKY SALT, and the younger just starting to act in movies.
Luckily for us, she is one of the most covered artists, and her later singles have become classics in Japanese culture.
