Mariya Takeuchi as portrayed on her (now) very famous photograph for the Sweetest Music/Morning Glory single cover.

(Also it's Sly. with a dot in case you wonder.)

Does the name Mariya Takeuchi sound familiar to you? If not, look her up and listen to the song Plastic Love from the album Variety!

That song is truly funky and her voice very pretty. It's almost a shame it's only gotten popular after more than thirty years. At least it did get popular after all, thanks to YouTube recommendations. Too bad you never get to hear it on the radio over here… yet.

Also the song's most famous upload got taken down last week, I believe it had around 6 million views the last time I checked.

This image started out as a random doodle, but I couldn't get the song out of my head, so… here she is drawn in my own style.

Disclaimer: Obviously, Mariya Takeuchi's visuals belong to herself and the gorgeous photo that inspired this image belongs to the photographer Alan Levenson. I do not earn any money with this picture in any way.

Made with GIMP2.10 on Xubuntu.

I hope you like it (and her song)!

Sly.
