"Daite" (だいて, lit. "Hold Me") is the eighth single by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka. Written by Moritaka and Yuichi Takahashi, the single was released by Warner Pioneer on September 25, 1989. The song marked a departure from her previous pop singles, using a 1960s classic rock style. It is included in the 1991 remix album The Moritaka. [1]
The music video was filmed in Tokyo, but clever editing is used to suggest it was held at the Las Vegas Club, with Moritaka playing a Rickenbacker electric guitar alongside a group of non-Japanese male and females strumming guitars and a saxophonist on stage. During the time, she only started playing the electric guitar and would not master it until her sixth studio album Rock Alive in 1992. [2] [3]
"Daite" peaked at No. 8 on Oricon's singles chart and sold 57,000 copies. [4] [5]
The album version of "Daite", from the 1989 album Hijitsuryokuha Sengen, is arranged with a slower tempo and less instruments.
Moritaka re-recorded the song and uploaded the video on her YouTube channel on May 6, 2013. [6] This version is also included in Moritaka's 2013 self-covers DVD album Love Vol. 4. [7]
All lyrics are written by Chisato Moritaka; all music is composed and arranged by Yuichi Takahashi.
