Mari Iijima

Is a singer & songwriter, composer, pianist.

On idol culture: I think Minmay kind of started that. We were like the pioneers of the "anime character sings and becomes a star in the story". I feel like if there was no Minmay, maybe that wouldn't happen, or it would have happened much later. I haven't actually seen those idol groups, I've just heard things about them, but even Miku Hatsune, I think Minmay had so much of an effect on her. If there was no Minmay, then maybe she wouldn't have been born? I don't know.
