Chisato Moritaka (森高千里, Moritaka Chisato) (born 11 April 1969) is a Japanese pop singer who also is notable as a songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist.
She is affiliated with Up-Front Create, a subsidiary of the Up-Front Group.
Moritaka's singing career as the unrivaled "Dance Queen" began in May 1987 with the release of her debut album New Season.
She differed from many other female Idol singers in Japan in that she wrote her own lyrics and some music for majority of her albums.
Moritaka also played drums on most of the tracks, as well as piano, guitar, recorder, clarinet, and other instruments.
Her musical style was influenced by Pink Lady, Janet Jackson, Roger Taylor, and The Beatles.
Moritaka's advertising jingles were hits into the mid-1990s in television commercials for goods and services such as consumer electronics, chocolate, beer, gin, and travel packages.
She has also made numerous appearances on Japanese game and talent shows and is still a household name.
In twelve years after her debut, she released 13 studio albums and created a strong following of devoted fans
