"Kaze ni Fukarete" (風に吹かれて; "Blowing in the Wind") is the 20th single by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka.The lyrics were written by Moritaka and the music was composed by Hideo Saitō. The single was released by One Up Music and Warner Music Japan on October 11, 1993. It became her first of two singles to hit No. 1 on Oricon's singles chart (the second being "Suteki na Tanjōbi"/"Watashi no Daiji na Hito" in 1994).[1][2]
"Kaze ni Fukarete" marked Moritaka's label transfer to One Up Music, which started as a joint venture between Up-Front Group and Warner Music Japan. One Up Music has since been rebranded as Up-Front Works. The song was inspired by the streets of Yufuin, Ōita Prefecture. It was used by All Nippon Airways for its "La Kyushu" (ラ・九州, Ra Kyūshū) marketing campaign.[3]
