Mariya Takeuchi, who has celebrated her 45th anniversary since her debut, has delivered numerous masterpieces that resonate with various generations, transcending the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras.

He says, “I spent time at Izumo Taisha Shrine like it was my garden at home,” and he recalls memories of his father, who he says had a big influence on his life, as well as stories about his tomboyish childhood.
Then, in 2024, at his alma mater, Taisha High School, which made great strides in the summer national high school baseball tournament, he reunited with his former high school teacher.
