This is your official youtube page? Cool, just started listening to you more.

[chibiakutenshi]

It's such a shame most English speaking people do not know who you are. I do and adore you. You are beautiful and so very talented in so many things! I'm so amazed to see you on Youtube. 素敵!

[marimusicvideos]

@chibiakutenshi No shame. Many English speaking people know me. I'm thankful. :) I'm an English speaking person - people too. lol

[chibiakutenshi]

@marimusicvideos That comment only makes you more awesome. I bet you hear this sort of things all the time, but you;re absolutely amazing.

これは希少です。私初めて知りました！

よく、残ってましたね。それが凄い。

この頃にはもうあの「Melody」を書いていたのですね？　私は真理さんとは同学年ですが、高校時代 YMOやウィングス、オフコースなどをFMでエアチェックして聴­いていたのを思い出します。　そして大学時代は真理さんの歌声に癒されました。今はエアチェッ­クではなくCD買って聴いています。

HER HAIR IS SMOOTH AND SILKY

[ronito6]

Any CDs of your classical work?

I could listen to this all day.

[smacktalk228]

you got talent girl

[jaja63040]

now i see why getting your college degree was so important, i never knew your degree was in music, now i understand. i always thought your degree was in something like business or history. please correct me if i'm wrong.

[Rebear]

Your classical training really has helped you to perform your own compositions beautifully. I can really see the intensity you put into the second movement, too. I think it's great to put up a video showcasing the past, since I know that I'd be proud of a performance like this were I able to play this well.

While this may seem off-topic, your hair is so bouncy and silky! I love it. ^^

Back then she had such "uncompromising innocence"

[shahoney]

she's adorable <3 how old was she here? i'm guessing this was during the early 80s?

[mikemcwong]

I love it that you are wiping all over the keys before and after playing. How old were you when you give this performance? I don't suppose you are still performing Beethoven now that you are a singer...

[marimusicvideos]

I still play many classical pieces.

I play the piano for a chamber ensemble as a pianist. :)

[mikemcwong]

Wow, you are playing piano in a chamber ensemble right now?? Will you be performing any time soon around the Los Angeles area? I would love to hear you playing classical live. It is kindof weird living in the same city as someone who sang the songs to my favourite anime as a child. Can't wait for season 5 of Lost to start. Loved your wiping the keys because I have to do that too after I play the organ at the concert hall, just did that last week.

[quolc]

uh, yes.. it is, the video description says "Beethoven piano Sonata 24". My intuition ain't that bad after all ;)

[quolc]

beethoven of some kind i guess?

[alclisif]

what is it?

[shockqueen]

Wow...such a strong performance in high school piano is really rare. She even had passion in those days! It's great to see she hasn't lost a thing - ever!

[redmartian]

What a foundation in music. No wonder she used to be offended by thousands of otaku insisting on calling her Minmay. At first I thought there were two Mari Iijima. Maybe there are?

[replicantnexus]

OMG! This Is A Really Mari' Personal Video.
