Anyone heard of her? I've been obsessed with her lately, especially her later stuff.

The first one I guess. Idol of some kind, whose musical image seems to have been quite influential in east Asia. Anita Mui in particular seems to have been drastically misnomered as Asia's Madonna, when she'd be much more accurately described as Hong Kong's Momoe, complete with Momoe covers.

Yea she is quite famous over here. Almost a demi god

I heard an Anita Mui song that I liked, but I thought I remembered a Japanese version some time in the past. A lot of googling later, and I eventually found a lead with the name Momoe Yamaguchi and a list of songs. The song I'd remembered was this:

Arigatou, Anata

Further exploration showed me just how influential she was, which is remarkable for someone whose career ended at the age of 21. For me, the pick of her songs is this. Absolutely beautiful.

Cosmos

I thought I've never heard of her song. But I was wrong.

I've heard Iihi Tabidachi (The departure on a fine day) many times.
Its one of my mums favourites in Karaoke. Its a great song.

Heres the song
