"Hae Otoko" (ハエ男, lit. "Fly Man") is the 19th single by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka. Written by Moritaka, the single was released with "Memories" by Warner Music Japan on June 25, 1993. Both songs were used in the Fuji TV variety show Utchan Nanchan no Yarunara Yaraneba! (ウッチャンナンチャンのやるならやらねば!, If Uchan Nanchan Does It, We Have to Do It!).[1]
Music video
The music video is a parody of Alien films, with Moritaka playing a soldier frantically running away from a giant alien in an abandoned building. Towards the end of the video, she realizes that the alien is a giant fly and hits it with a fly swatter.[2][3]

"Hae Otoko"/"Memories" peaked at No. 12 on Oricon's singles chart.[4][5] It was also certified Gold by the RIAJ.[6]
Other versions
Moritaka re-recorded the song and uploaded the video on her YouTube channel on February 21, 2015.[7] This version is also included in Moritaka's 2015 self-covers DVD album Love Vol. 9.[8]
