Comments :
Mayumi là 1 trong những ca sĩ nổi tiếng ở Nhật Bản (và ngoài Nhật Bản). Ca khúc nổi tiếng nhất mà năm 2005 là "Kokoro no tomo" đã được hát lại trong album tưởng niệm nạn nhân động đất ở Sumatra. Ca khúc này cũng rất nổi tiếng ở Indonesia. Tui may mắn lượm được 1 album của cô (album Best Selection sản xuất năm 1989) và đã được nghe bài này, ai chưa nghe thì kiếm nghe nha. Ngoài ra, nhạc của Itsuwa còn được cover lại ở VN, những bản hay như "Revival" hay "nokoribi" (và còn những bản hay khác).
Giọng hát của Mayumi trầm ấm và khá hay, tất cả những bản nhạc của cô đều hay và mang 1 phong cách khá xưa (hầu hết là ballad). Bạn có thể nghe thử vài bài hát của cô ở đây :
