Takako Minekawa (嶺川貴子 Minekawa Takako, born June 3, 1969) is a Japanese musician, composer and writer. As an accomplished all-around musician, Minekawa’s musical skills set her firmly outside of the J-Pop “idol” tradition: she writes and composes most of her material, singing quirky lyrics about subjects such as clouds, cats, and the color white (her personal favorite), with her love of Kraftwerk and French Pop Music also showing through her unique experimental sound.
