Mari Iijima (飯島 真理 Iijima Mari, born May 18, 1963 in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, Japan) is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She writes and produces most of her own music, and plays the piano and other instruments. After being signed to JVC Victor in 1982, Mari first became known for her voice-acting role as Lynn Minmay in the anime Macross. Her debut original album, Rosé, was released in 1983, which was produced by composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. She also later collaborated with other world-renowned musicians, such as Van Dyke Parks.
Iijima Mari started her career in 1982 by voicing and singing for the fictional idol Lynn Minmay (リン・ミンメイ) in the legendary classic space-opera Choujikuu Yousai Macross. The anime series was very popular at that time and it also rose Iijima's popularity as an idol. In 1984, her third single "Ai Oboete Imasu ka" was used as the theme song for Choujikuu Yousai Macross Ai Oboete Imasu ka movie. The song highlighted the film's glorious climax (which totally outdoes the TV series' version) and reached #7 on the Oricon weekly charts, selling 270,510 copies. "Ai Oboete Imasu ka" and its B-side, "Tenshi no Enogu" which was used as the ending theme / Lynn Minmay's farewell song are still popular even todays. Aside from singing, Iijima also compose most of her songs but the role of Lynn Minmay also became her curse and she was overshadowed by her character.
