Moritaka Chisato "The Singles"

 My Chisato Moritaka Box Set “The Singles” arrived today, and I am extremely pleased at how nice this package is- a beautiful 3-CD set befitting one of the greatest j-pop artists of the 90’s and of all time-or at least, in MY opinion!!! My initial fears that the release might be nothing more than a mundane, slapped together rehash were quickly put to rest as I unwrapped the set, opened up the gatefolds and took in the sweet packaging, the wonderful picture discs and glossy photobook- They really took time and care with this one, and unfolding this package made me as excited as I was when I first picked up “Do The Best” all those many many years ago!

Man, will you look at that body of work Chisato has, (heck, will you look at that body!) especially in Disc Two which features the years 1991-1995 which I consider not only the golden age of Chisato’s work, but of my entire J-pop experience! 

Ahhhh, just looking over the titles on this set has got me reveling in sweet memories! Haven’t got a chance to actually listen to the CDs yet (saving that for this weekend) but you can bet that when I do, it will be like the 90’s all over again!!!
