I should have mentioned from the start the purpose of this thread is to introduce Chisato to new listeners, particularly those outside of Japan. I am working on a couple of long term projects concerning Chisato that I hope will be of interest to people outside of Japan. I do understand if Westerners find she's not their cup of tea. I will post more content soonest and thank you for your continued interest.

Thank you very much for your support of Chisato Moritaka.

I think that infections by the new coronavirus continue every day with no end in sight. In view of the situation as of May 15, we are truly sorry for the performances until December, but we have decided to cancel or postpone the performances until December, taking into account the health and safety of our customers, performers, and all relevant parties, taking into account the travel, preparation period, and timing of ticket sales.

If you were looking forward to the performances, we would like to inform you, but thank you for your understanding.

Given the unknown circumstances of the future, this decision has been self-imposed, but we hope that a concert that customers can enjoy with peace of mind can be held as soon as possible.

Tough sell. This girl is pretty, yes, but so so pop-centric. How about a Japanese... Stevie Nicks...?

Generally speaking, pop music in Japan only goes back to the mid-1970s. Chisato san was influenced to some extent by those early J-pop artists, such as Pink Lady (Mitsuyo Nemoto and Keiko Masuda).  By the end of the 1980s, such was her popularity that Chisato san became the first female J-pop artist to complete a nation-wide tour of every prefecture. Personally, in my opinion, I don't think this country (Japan) would ever produce a Stevie Nicks if only because the social, cultural and musical influences that impacted Nicks simply don't exist here. Additionally, their life experiences are completely different.

I can see where the abandon which a Stevie Nicks employs is in direct conflict with the strict self control Japanese are known for. Considering that angle, rock music and Japanese culture have an interesting co-existence. 

These ladies can rock, but i have a hard time imagining them sharing an 8 ball with Joe Walsh.
