Moriguchi made her singer debut with "Mizu no Hoshi e Ai wo Komete" ( Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam second opening theme) in August 1985, releasing 34 singles and 11 original albums. In August 2021, she released her debut's 35th anniversary album "Aoi Inochi." Because "Aoi Inochi" included seven songs while her yet-titled upcoming 40th anniversary album will include 11, her official website states that the latter will be her first "full" original album in 28 years since "happy happy blue" released in 1997. Various artists and writers who have provided songs to Moriguchi in the past will participate in this 40th anniversary album. For the first time in 40 years, lyricist Masao Urino , who wrote her debut song “Mizu no Hoshi e Ai wo Komete,” and singer-songwriter and composer Neil Sedaka, will team up. And singer-songwriter Yui Nishiwaki , who wrote the lyrics to “ETERNAL WIND ~Hohoemi wa Hikaru Kaze no Naka~” ( Mobile Suit Gundam F91 theme song), will write an answer song to "ETERNAL WIND." The album will contain a total of 11 songs, including "Ubugoe" ( Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island theme song) and a new version of “ETERNAL WIND,” which will be produced by layering 40 tracks of Moriguchi's vocals. In addition to the release of the album, Moriguhi also plans a concert tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her debut from December 2025 to January 2026.
