Chisato Moritaka, "Kono Machi" and "17 sai"

【Chisato Moritaka "Ko No Machi (このまち＝この街)"】



Hi, Japanese Pop Music lovers!!

Today, I would like to introduce you, "Ko No Machi(このまち)" from 1993 live by Chisato Moritaka!!

Actually, Her songs are little bit fancy, but simple but so rhythmic which no one ever heard before in Japan...

Ahaha...Maybe too much exaggeration だよね？？（笑）

Anyway...She is so famous even in now, because...

The most of Japanese youngsters got bored with too much sentimental songs dispatched from inflexible musical industrial companies...

So, Her sudden debut, the market accepted with surprise...

People were captivated with her unique charmed songs and be a legendary singer-song writer lady in Japanese entertainment industry なのです！！

それで...Meaning of this title is...

・Kono(この): This

・Machi(街): Town

So, The lyrics shows about hometown...but not hers...but the lyricist だって（笑）

Ahaha...There is no "Tomari River" at Her home prefecture だもんねっ！！





【Chisato Moritaka "Jyu-nana Sai (17さい=Seventeen)"】



【Her Profile】

・Name:  Chisato Moritaka (もりたか ちさと＝森高 千里）

・Birth:  Ibaraki Osaka, 11th April 1969

・Nationality:  Japanese

Her family had moved to Kumamoto city of Kumamoto Prefecture, when she was a baby!!
