"Overheat Night" (オーバーヒート・ナイト, Ōbāhīto Naito) (stylized as "OVERHEAT.NIGHT") is the second single by Japanese singer Chisato Moritaka. Written by Hiromasa Ijichi and Hideo Saitō, the single was released by Warner Pioneer on October 25, 1987. In contrast to the pop rock sound of Moritaka's debut single "New Season", the song uses a dance-pop arrangement.^[1][2]
