Chisato Moritaka 'Watarase Bridge' (Music Video)

Looking up at the sky at dusk, I suddenly find myself remembering an old love.

That distinctly autumnal, sentimental mood is perfectly captured by Chisato Moritaka’s classic song.

With lyrics she wrote herself, it portrays the aching feelings of someone thinking of a past love, set on a real bridge in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture.

The vivid depiction of the sunset as seen from that spot paints a scene you can almost see, resonating deeply with listeners.

Released in January 1993 as her 17th single, the song is also included on the album “Lucky 7.” It became well-known as the ending theme for the TV program “Ii Tabi, Yume Kibo.” It’s the kind of track you’ll want to savor on a slightly chilly evening, a warm drink in hand.

Chisato Moritaka “Even If I Become an Old Lady” (Live)

Released in June 1992, this is Chisato Moritaka’s 16th single.

When she debuted, she arrived with the catchphrase “Declaration of Non-Talent!” Fittingly for one of her songs, you don’t need any great vocal prowess to sing this one (lol).

Keep it light, breezy, and cute, and you’ll be just fine.

This track was also used as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Matta Nashi!” The melody is very simple and easy to sing, and the lyrics are memorable and easy to learn.

It might be fun to compete on scores with friends by doing a one-take on this song!

Ame

A heart-stirring ballad by Chisato Moritaka, where the poignancy of heartbreak overlaps beautifully with rainy scenery.

Since its release in September 1990, this song has marked a turning point as she evolved toward a more artist-driven direction.

The delicate vocals weave a story of unrequited love, vividly portraying the complex emotions of a woman parting with her lover in the rain.

Released by Warner-Pioneer, the track reached No.

2 on the Oricon charts.

It’s the perfect accompaniment for quiet moments—when you want to empathize with the ache of love, on a gently rainy afternoon, or during a nighttime drive to sort out your thoughts.

Feeling refreshedChisato Moritaka4rank/position

Chisato Moritaka “Refreshing Mood” [Self-Cover]

Chisato Moritaka’s signature song, which wraps the pain of heartbreak in a refreshing vocal tone, also drew attention as an Asahi Beer commercial song released in January 1994.

While it gives a bright and energetic impression on the surface, its lyrics compellingly portray the complexities of a woman’s emotions.

The feelings of the protagonist, who loses her crush to her best friend, are beautifully conveyed through Moritaka’s clear, transparent voice.

The song gained further attention when Moritaka herself appeared in the Asahi Beer commercial, and it was embraced by a wide audience—being used as background music when Hideo Nomo made his Major League debut, among other occasions.

It’s a perfect track for livening up a karaoke session or for helping you overcome the pain of a broken heart.

Chisato Moritaka “Jin Jin Jingle Bell 2014” [Self-Cover]

Chisato Moritaka is a singer-songwriter whose songs are all pop and captivating with their original worldviews.

“Jin Jin Jingle Bell” is also a song that could only come from Moritaka—it’s super cute.

The track was released in 1995 as her 27th single.

For those in their 40s, it’s probably one of those songs that makes you think, “Ah, Christmas has come again this year,” as soon as you hear it.

Plus, in 2014 she did a self-cover that mashed up her unchanged cuteness with hip-hop, keeping it feeling timeless.

Study SongChisato Moritaka6rank/position

Chisato Moritaka 'Study Song' (Music Video)

Actress Chisato Moritaka, who gained popularity from the 1980s to the 1990s.

She has left behind many classic songs as a singer as well, but among them, the one I especially recommend to women in their 40s is Study Song.

As the title suggests, it’s literally a song that encourages studying, and for women in their 40s who were students back then, it may be particularly memorable.

Since this piece isn’t a song performed by a professional singer, the vocal line is calm and relatively even, without many ups and downs.

The vocal range is also quite narrow, so it should be easy enough to sing even at a third-round after-party.

Summer DayChisato Moritaka7rank/position

Chisato Moritaka 'Summer Days' (PV)

Chisato Moritaka is known as a multi-instrumentalist who plays various instruments, and as a singer-songwriter whose cute looks and singing voice continue to captivate fans.

Her 23rd single, “Natsu no Hi” (“Summer Day”), used as the ending theme for the variety show Asakusabashi Young Yōhinten, features lyrics that evocatively conjure sentimental summer scenes.

Though the melody is simple and relaxed, it spans a wide vocal range, so be mindful of sudden high notes when singing.

With a nostalgic arrangement that resonates emotionally, it’s a track that blends a refreshing feel with a touch of melancholy.
