Her singing career as the unrivaled "Dance Queen" began in May 1987 with the release of her first album, New Season. She differed from many other female Idol Singers in Japan in that she wrote her own lyrics and some music for her albums. She also played drums on most of the tracks, as well as piano, clarinet, and other instruments. Her advertising jingles were hits into the mid 1990s in television commercials for such goods as chocolate and gin. She has also made numerous appearances on Japanese game and talent shows and is still a household name. In twelve years after her debut she released seventeen albums and created a cult following of otaku fanboys.
Some say that she displaced Yoko Oginome as the reigning "Dance Queen" of the mid to late 1980's. Yoko's singing career faded as Chisato's rose and endured far longer.

Out of all the songs she's remade, this one sounds closest to the original from "Taiyo."
