Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

Chisato Moritaka 'Watarase Bridge' (Music Video)

Watarase BridgeNEW!Moritaka Chisato

This is Chisato Moritaka’s 17th single, released in January 1993.

Chosen as the theme song for a travel program on TV Tokyo, it became widely beloved, spending 15 consecutive weeks on the Oricon charts.

As the lyrics quietly reflect on a past love while gazing at the city at dusk, Moritaka’s clear, translucent voice blends beautifully with the song.

Later adopted as the departure melody at Ashikaga Station, the piece has continued to be cherished by the local community.

The simple timbre of the alto recorder leaves a warm afterglow in the heart.

It’s a classic that gently stays by your side on nights when you want to softly unwind taut emotions.
