A singer-songwriter recognized globally for her songs used in Miyazaki Hayao’s beloved animations, Yuming has captured the hearts of listeners of different generations since her debut in the early 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer fourth album, \u003ci\u003eThe 14th Moon\u003c\/i\u003e, released in 1976, was a milestone in establishing her signature style: the posh, “city” sound that later paved the way to the 1980s City Pop and 1990s J-pop.
