Also in 1976, he teamed up with Eiichi Ohtaki, the producer of Sugar Babe,{{cite web |title=Happy End's Eiichi Ohtaki Dies at 65 |url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/happy_ends_eiichi_ohtaki_dies_at_65 |work=Exclaim! |date=December 31, 2013 |access-date=January 9, 2017}} and Sugar Babe member Ginji Ito to release Niagara Triangle Vol. 1 which was cited by MTV as one of the finest collaborative efforts of that period.{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv81.com/features/lists/6-japanese-super-groups-that-are-changing-j-music-history/|title=6 Japanese Super Groups That are Changing J-music History|publisher=MTV81|date=March 16, 2016|access-date=January 9, 2017}} His 1979 award-winning album Moonglow gained only moderate success,{{cite web|url=http://www.jacompa.or.jp/rekishi/d1980.htm|publisher=Japan Composer's Association|title=History of the Japan Record Awards – List of the 20th Award Winners|language=ja|access-date=December 28, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080611055622/http://www.jacompa.or.jp/rekishi/d1980.htm|archive-date=June 11, 2008}} but his 1980 song Ride on Time reached No. 3 on the Japanese Oricon chart and the album of the same name topped the chart subsequently,{{cite web|url= http://www.tbs.co.jp/goodluck/themesong.html|title= Description of the theme song for the television drama aired on TBS in 2003|work= tbs.co.jp|publisher= Tokyo Broadcasting System|language= ja|access-date= June 26, 2009|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090406223507/http://www.tbs.co.jp/goodluck/themesong.html|archive-date= April 6, 2009|url-status= dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www007.upp.so-net.ne.jp/k-makoto/datastation/music/oricon/oriconalbum80.htm|script-title=ja:オリコン・ヒットチャート Ｎｏ．１ＡＬＢＵＭ １９８０－１９８９ -|trans-title=List of the number-one on the Japanese Weekly LP Chart from 1980 to 1989|language=ja|access-date=June 26, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090504085533/http://www007.upp.so-net.ne.jp/k-makoto/datastation/music/oricon/oriconalbum80.htm|archive-date=May 4, 2009}}{{cite news |last1=Yokegawa |first1=Tetsuko |title=The Artisian: The Inimitable Genius of Tatsuro Yamashita |url=https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2014/12/tatsuro-yamashita-feature |access-date=November 22, 2019 |publisher=Red Bull Music Academy |date=December 10, 2014}} propelling him to stardom.

Tatsuro's music has been regarded as a symbol of Japanese city pop, as represented by Ride on Time and For You in the early 1980s.{{Cite book|title=Fan club PR magazine "TATSURO MANIA" No.20 "ALBUM GUIDE" MELODIES ""}}{{Cite book|title="Shu-kan {{!}}Weekly{{!}} FM" Vol. 17, No. 9, Ongaku no Tomosha Co., Ltd., April 20, 1987, pp. 10-11.}}{{Cite book|title="Quarterly Yoichi Shibuya BRIDGE" February 1996 VOL.9 (Rockin'on) P78-89, published February 11, 1996}}

In 2011, Yamashita's newly-released album Ray of Hope topped the weekly Oricon Albums Chart, making him the fourth singer to have topped the chart at least once per decade for four decades running.{{Cite web|title=【オリコン】山下達郎、8年9ヶ月ぶりアルバム首位|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2000789/full/|access-date=2021-09-17|website=ORICON NEWS|date=November 5, 2014 }}{{Cite web|date=2014-01-13|title=asahi.com（朝日新聞社）：山下達郎４人目の４年代連続トップ！ - 日刊スポーツ芸能ニュース - 映画・音楽・芸能|url=http://www.asahi.com/showbiz/nikkan/NIK201108160041.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140113112449/http://www.asahi.com/showbiz/nikkan/NIK201108160041.html|archive-date=January 13, 2014|access-date=2021-09-17}}

A mutli-faceted musician, some of his songs are recorded entirely by himself, including vocal backup, guitar arrangement, synthesizer, and percussion. His music is heavily acoustic, but also demonstrates a wide range of knowledge about analog and digital recording, and latest musical production technology, including computer programming.

"Christmas Eve", one of Yamashita's best-known songs in Japan and the best-selling Japanese single of the 1980s, first appeared on his 1983 album Melodies. It topped the charts in 1990 and has since ranked in the top 100 on the Japanese charts every Christmas season. The song was most famously a commercial song for JR Central's "Xmas Express."{{Cite AV media|title=【CM 1988-92】JR東海 X'MAS EXPRESS 60秒×5|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK_eX4Oe5kA|type=Ad|language=ja|access-date=2021-09-17|via=YouTube}} It has sold nearly 2 million copies since its release and continues to be sold in small quantities as a limited edition every Christmas season. The English-version of the song, with lyrics by Alan O'Day, was also recorded by Yamashita and has been covered by artists such as Pentatonix, the Commodores, All-4-One, and Idina Menzel.

As a solo artist, Yamashita has released 13 original studio albums, five cover albums, two live albums, multiple compilations, and over 50 singles. He is the most commercially successful Japanese male solo recording artist in the history of the Japanese album chart, selling approximately 9 million albums in total.{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/ranking/15054/ | title=槇原敬之、井上陽水抜く！アルバム総売上枚数男性ソロ歴代1位に！| date=March 10, 2006|trans-title=Noriyuki Makihara become the best-selling male solo artist on the Oricon albums chart, defeating Yosui Inoue|access-date=May 9, 2009}}{{cite web | url=http://www7a.biglobe/~yamag/album/al_yamasita.html | title=Yamachan Land (Japan's charts archives) – Albums Chart Daijiten | language=ja | access-date=March 19, 2008 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://archive.today/20071111034222/http://www7a.biglobe/~yamag/album/al_yamasita.html | archive-date=November 11, 2007 }} He has also composed for films and television commercials, and worked on records by other artists. Yamashita frequently collaborated with Alan O'Day, who wrote the English lyrics for some of his most popular songs, such as “Christmas Eve”.

His wife is Mariya Takeuchi, whom he married in 1982. They have one daughter.{{cite web |script-title=ja:プロフィール 竹内 まりや ワーナーミュージック・ジャパン |trans-title=Biography of Mariya Takeuchi |url=http://www.wmg.jp/artist/mariya/profile.html |access-date=June 26, 2009 |work=wmg.jp |publisher=Warner Music Group |language=ja}}
