was a Japanese singer-songwriter from Tokyo.
Her first album, 1975's Good Bye, was inspired by a friend's death. All of her subsequent albums, such as Mother Sky and The Last Waltz, also explored tragic or morbid themes. Throughout her performing career, Morita was a secretive and reclusive performer who always wore round sunglasses and grew her curly hair long to hide her identity. She retired from music in 1983.
In 1993, her song "Bokutachi no Shippai" was used as the theme song for the TV drama KÃ
ÂkÃ
 KyÃ
Âshi. This led to a revival of interest in her work and the release of a greatest hits album.
In later years, Morita went on to marry Maeda Ado, an illustrator and her former manager. He died in 2010.
Morita died of heart failure eight years later on April 24, 2018, at the age of 65.
