Aoi Umi Goodies: Comments: In this album Chisato Moritaka plays some parts of instruments. Especially "Rock'n'roll Kenchoh-Shozaichi" she plays all the instruments and chorus. Generally this album has an amateuristic feeling which leads to the early Beatles taste. I found her musical origin exists in the Beatles.

Comments: I believe this is some kind of 5th anniversary compilation album. It contains some live tracks, different mixes of the same song, and I believe one song from some kind of TV show or movie. Good mix of ballads, and pop tunes. (Ray Tang: rtang@kingcong.uwaterloo.ca) Moritaka Chisato's howntown is Kumamoto in Kyushu. "benkyou no uta (Study Song)" was a theme of TV anime show.

Some versions I believe come in a cardboard jacket. Comments: With this CD, Chisato Moritaka adds some Rock influences to her music. This means a lot more liberal use of the guitar. However this album has a lot of diversity. Most notable is "Bossa Marina" which was done with Gavyn Strings, the result being a very melodic dreamy song. My favourite on this album is "natsu no umi", a light bouncy kind of tune. Another good song on this album is "Fight!!", without understand much of the words, I really got a good feeling from this song. A very nice ballad "furusato no sora" is there also to give you that sentimental feeling. There are also other good songs on this album, and with 16 tracks and a good mix of styles, something is certain to appeal to someone. (Ray Tang: rtang@kingcong.uwaterloo.ca) "Watashi ga obasan ni nattemo" is latest single. Theme of TV drama 'Matta nashi', in which Saitou Yuki acted as "Sumou-beya no Okami-san". "Sumou-beya no Okami-san" is wife of Sumou-team's superviser, but also working like sumou players' mother. There're no relation between the song and the TV drama. ^_^; She sang this at Kouhaku-Uta-Gassen'92 of NHK. Her song itself is very nice (because of Takahashi Hideo's composition and arrangement), but the words which she wrote by her own is also attractive. Amusing, funny and has definite originality.
