Post your comments about our Mari Iijima Interview and let us know what you thought of her.
“This album is about unrequited love. To me it is a universal heartache when two people’s heart temperatures are not quite matching… My album is based on love stories. My love stories.” — Mari Iijima
“Echo” will be the 21st studio album from Mari Iijima, and much like her debut album, “Rose”, it has been a true labor of love, with Mari immersing herself in every aspect of its songwriting and production. The music is powerful and poignant, driven by Mari’s perfectionist desire to bring the music of her heart to the world.
Although Mari might have first achieved fame through the lucky happenstance of voicing the character Lynn Minmay in the popular “The Super Dimension Fortress Macross” anime series, her long and successful career as a world class singer/songwriter has garnered her international awards and fans eager to hear the next installment of her musical odyssey.
So come hear the story of a remarkable woman who says “Life gets tough sometimes. I think that a part of my purpose in life is to create the music and words to give people some peace and hope for tomorrow.”
On August 16, 2009 Mari Iijima was kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. Mari Iijima Interview.

I read the interview of Mari Iijima. It was awesome.
It made me many interest in her new album “ECHO”.
Loved the interview! Good luck with the newest album and your upcoming concerts!
when i saw robotech in 1985 i was 16. in these days i’m in search to find out if it was a fix voice as it happens on cartoons or if it was an real singer who do lynn minmei.all what i can say now is that the singer who play as lynn minmie is real as her voice which is sweetly and angelicly melodic talented. i wonder if she is married or not to meet her. fidel perez vazquez.puerto rico
Nice interview to read but I recently discovered another interview where she shares more about her TRUE Macross experiences. It would be disrespeectful and inappripiate to give the direct link here but type in Mari Iijima Interview and you’ll likely find it within the 1st or 2nd page of search results.
Keep it up J-PopWorld!

She is a lot more personal in the interview than most artists. I appreciate that, along with her incredible talents and beauty. I hope she understands the other part of the narcissus-echo story and how that applies to her life in being drawn to and in choosing relationships with narcissistic men. Narcissism is a lot more than just a heart temperature not matching; it is a sickness.
