She rose to talent awareness as the winner of the "Pocari Sweat Image Girl Contest" in 1986.

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.

GOOD-BYE SEASON
森高千里 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last summer time
海岸の駐車場
あなたにKiss をさせた午後
Last summer time
友達ウラギリ
ゴミ箱丸めたバイトニュース
あなた真似して
かえたの右手に腕時計...

Good-bye season
とっくに End of summer
終わっちゃってる季節
Good-bye season
捨てなきゃ私が
引きずってたsummer time
Last summer night
少し背伸びして遊んだ
ホテルのプールサイド
Last summer night
髪をたばねたら
あなたの視線戸惑うわ
水着ハデだとイキナリまじめな横顔
Good-bye season
とっくに End of summer
終わっちゃってる季節
Good-bye season
捨てなきゃ私が
引きずってたsummer time
Good-bye season
今夜は End of winter
サヨナラを言えそうよ
Good-bye season
右手に今でも

白く残ったsummer time
Good-bye season...

The song reflects on how fast the summer had already come to an end and how the singer must let go of the memories of summertime that she has been holding onto. As winter approaches, she prepares to bid farewell to the summer season and the memories associated with it.

It highlights the transformative power of time, where once-happy moments could turn into memories that bring tears to one's eyes.
