Moritaka Chisato: 32 Years After Watashi ga Obasan ni, Her Enchanting Image Collection Still Charms Fans

Singer Chisato Moritaka (55) performed at the “ARABAKI ROCK FEST.24” music festival held in Miyagi Prefecture on April 27. On April 29, she posted a video of the event on her Instagram.

She posted on her Instagram on April 29: “It’s been a while since I performed at a festival, and I was very nervous when I took the stage, but the moment I got up on stage, I was like, ‘Are you having fun? I’m having fun! I was so excited to perform at the festival after a long time. I want to participate again!

With her excited comment, she showed photos of herself in black knee-high boots and a mini-skirt, as well as during her performance. The SNS users commented, “So young, so cute! So cute! I can’t believe she is 55 years old. I can’t believe I’m 55 years old. I’m not an old lady at all,” and other comments reminiscent of Moritaka’s hit song from 32 years ago, “Even if I become an old lady.

Beautiful legs that charmed at the 20,000-yen handshake session.

When I was a high school student in the summer of 1986, I won the Grand Prix in Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s “1st Pocari Sweat Image Girl Contest. That was when I moved to Tokyo. Her commercial collaboration with Shigesato Itoi (75) became the talk of the town, and the following year she made her debut as the lead in the movie “In Love with That Guy,” and made her debut as a singer with the theme song from the movie. At first, she started out as an idol.

However, in 1988, she concentrated on her singing career with hits such as “The Stress,” for which she wrote her own lyrics, and “17 Sai,” a remake of a Saori Minami song. She was also a pioneer among female artists who “cosplayed” at live performances. In 1992, “Watashi wa obasan ni narimasan desu” (“Even if I become an old lady”) created a sensation and cemented Moritaka’s popularity as a singer.

In 1988, “FRIDAY” focused on Moritaka, who had come into the spotlight as an artist, including her beautiful legs at a 20,000 yen handshake event, her tense face at a driving school, and her passionate love affair with her husband, Yosuke Eguchi (56). We would like you to see Moritaka, who has “never become an old lady,” in these treasured photos.

Moritaka’s “20,000-yen Nama handshake session” was held in February 2002.

The venue was a building in the suburbs of Tokyo, where middle-aged men entered one after another.

The event was open only to those who had purchased her 25th anniversary commemorative box set (19,800 yen including tax). The autograph session itself was the first one since her debut, and the enthusiastic fans poured in. Of course, the media was completely shut out, and the atmosphere was that of a secret meeting between fans and Moritaka alone.

A man in his 40s who attended the meeting said, “We were made to wait in a separate room,

A man in his 40s who attended the meeting said, “We were made to wait in a separate room, and when we were called into the room one by one, Moritaka sat down in front of the desk and smiled at us. Each person would sit at the desk and smile at me for about one minute. Even the handshake sessions for “AKB48” last about 15 seconds each, so this is a huge service.

He was very satisfied with the event. The autograph session, which lasted about eight hours, was attended by 800 people over the two days. Moritaka, who was 44 years old at the time, appeared to this magazine the day before the signing, looking exactly the same as when he was in his 20s.

She married Eguchi in 1999, and their two children have already reached adulthood. Even so, we look forward to seeing more of Moritaka, who is not an “old lady” at all.
