Chisato Moritaka Live Rock Alive Complete Blu-ray and UHQCD Box

The first release celebrating Chisato Moritaka's 35th debut anniversary! A newly edited, complete 21-song version of LIVE ROCK ALIVE, the 1992 tour film that first recorded the performance of her signature song Watashi ga Obasan ni Nattemo, is here!

The national CHISATO MORITAKA CONCERT TOUR '92 ROCK ALIVE supported her sixth album ROCK ALIVE, which includes Fight!!, Concert no Yoru and Watashi ga Obasan ni Nattemo. As described in the original release, it was the first tour by a female solo singer to cover all 47 Japanese prefectures:60 performances at 55 venues, drawing 100,000 people.

The September 30,1992 concert at Tokyo's Nakano Sun Plaza has been newly edited from the original master video, with the live sound newly mixed from the original masters. Two songs omitted from the original release are restored, bringing the complete recording to 21 songs!

Opening with Concert no Yoru, her 15th single, this tour also marked her first performance of guitar on stage: truly ROCK ALIVE. It featured 13 songs from the sixth album and ten single tracks, including 17-sai, Ame, Kono Machi, Fight!! and Watashi ga Obasan ni Nattemo. The music video for Watashi ga Obasan ni Nattemo was made from this day's concert footage using a different edit from the commercially released live video.

The original LIVE ROCK ALIVE was released on VHS and LaserDisc on February 25,1993 and DVD on October 18,2000. The newly edited complete version adds The Benkyo no Uta and Sono Go no Watashi, which were absent from that original release. Two UHQCDs contain the newly mixed live recordings, with MC sections removed.

This limited-production box adds a further Blu-ray and UHQCD. The extra Blu-ray presents the original 19-song LIVE ROCK ALIVE video, upconverted to HD for its first Blu-ray release, so the original and newly edited versions can be compared. The additional UHQCD reproduces the first pressing of the sixth original album ROCK ALIVE, originally releasedMarch 25,1992, with its 32-page photo book and three-sided box packaging. It is Moritaka's first use of Lacquer Master Sound.

Limited-box extras A reduced-size reproduction of the ROCK ALIVE tour pamphlet; a reproduction of the ROCK ALIVE sticker sheet originally sold as tour merchandise; a reproduction of the front of the full-colour tour flyer distributed at the venues, including Moritaka's message and tour dates; and a deluxe 24-page photo booklet filled with rare, previously unpublished photographs from the time.

UHQCD: Ultimate Hi Quality CD A high-quality CD manufacturing method using fine-detail transfer technology and a special alloy for the reflective layer. These discs can be played on all CD players. High quality here refers to how faithfully master quality is reproduced.

Lacquer Master Sound The audio is cut to a lacquer disc, the master format used for analogue records, played back through a cartridge and record stylus, and then digitised. The method aims to reproduce the full-bodied sound of analogue records, as close as possible to the original.
