My Favorites (マイ フェイバリッツ, Mai Feibarittsu) is a compilation album by Japanese singer-songwriter Chisato Moritaka. It was released on November 26, 2004, five years after she retired from the music industry. The album features songs selected by Moritaka herself, including a chorus and drum re-recording of the song "Dotchi mo Dotchi". Instead of one booklet, My Favorites includes two mini-booklets: one with liner notes and the other with lyrics.[1][2]
