It has been nearly two weeks since Chisato Moritaka's new single was officially released on the shelves.
In two weeks, with the promotion, although he is not the kind of big-name singer whose every move attracts attention, he is already somewhat famous, and is promoted by Warner Pioneer, plus the topic of covering famous songs. All kinds of factors are combined together.
Finally, the little idol Chisato Moritaka caught the attention of music critics.
The music critic who wrote for "musiclife" did not have a high evaluation of this cover single, or even a little low.
It’s not surprising to be given a low score, after all, it’s difficult to disagree with others. Besides, if you choose to cover the original idol’s masterpiece, release it as a single in a serious manner, and promote it with great fanfare, you are ready to be compared.
This thing is similar to a remake of a classic. In order not to become a big joke of the year and be pulled out and publicly executed in several comparison videos from time to time, you have to use your own two brushes.
Besides, even if your level is high, you still have to be prepared to be criticized in a 360-degree circle. After all, the object of comparison has a nostalgic filter, and you can see the advantages from left to right.
However, the interesting thing about the low-scoring comment on "Musiclife" is that he is not dissatisfied with Chisato Moritaka's performance in this single, or how vulgar the arrangement of this song is, but he is dissatisfied with this song.
I am dissatisfied with the arrangement of Minami Saori's famous song for the single.
"The magic hand of exaggeration finally reached out to the memory of youth, and the simple girl from the south was torn to pieces in the powerful electronic rhythm."
"Not only Minami Saori, but every bit and piece about youth and idols in the past is also being torn apart. People like me who have watched all the way from the birthplace of idols are probably already regarded as old-school people."
"And an old-school person like me, facing the fierce attack launched by the current craze, will he maintain that kind of beauty, or will he continue to lose like this?" At the end of the article, the author of this music review wrote this.
The first thing I commented on was Chisato Moritaka's single. When I finally concluded, it was better to say that I was using it to express my dissatisfaction with the current pop culture of idols, and my worries about the impact of the current situation of luxury and wealth on the simple and uplifting atmosphere of the past.

After reading this music review, Iwahashi Shinichi found it quite interesting. This music critic’s perspective on this single is not uninteresting.
He raised his head, and Watanabe Manyumi asked him: "What do you think after reading it?"
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, "There is a Chinese restaurant called 'Komatsu' in Shinbashi. It was highly rated on TV. Last time, Miwa-chan suggested going, and Masato-san and I went to eat together.
Already."
It happened when I just signed a contract with CBS Sony. After I received the signing bonus, it was necessary to celebrate. Miwa-chan suggested that he and Masato Nakamura had no objections, so they should go and experience it together.
"Miwa-chan and Masato-san were full of praise..."
"Um?"
"But from the bottom of my heart, I felt it was very bad." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "While eating, I thought to myself, do you dare to call this kind of food Chinese cuisine?"
"Ha ha!"
Watanabe Manyumi knew that he wanted to say "it's hard to explain", but she was still amused by his solemn tone and expression of expressing the unpalatable truth.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew what she was laughing at, so he continued speaking slowly, "Chinese cuisine is an improved version of Chinese food. However, after entering Japan, whether it is Chinese food or French food, it is very popular with the general public.
All of them have been modified to suit Japanese tastes."
"That's true."
Watanabe Manyumi nodded, understanding what he wanted to say. Seventeen years ago, "17" was adapted like this seventeen years later. It was an "improved version" made to suit today's people's tastes.
“Even if restaurants like this are open all over Japan, we can’t say that the original food will become the ‘loser’.”
When Iwahashi Shinichi said this, he had completely explained his attitude and views on this music review. After listening to it, Watanabe Manyumi suddenly said: "Speaking of which."
"What?"
"Is that Chinese restaurant really that bad?" She was really curious.
Shinichi Iwahashi's solemn tone and expression created a successful advertisement for Watanabe Manyumi.
"It's terrible...for me." Shinichi Iwahashi said with a smile, "Want to give it a try?"
Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled and replied: "I think."
…
Iwahashi Shinichi called the Chinese restaurant "Komatsu" in Shimbashi from the information desk, made a reservation, and went to eat with Watanabe Mayumi that evening.
It’s not just to experience whether this restaurant is delicious or not. They are both busy with their own things these days, and it is difficult to communicate. Both Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi want to have a good chat.
Have a chat.
Although eating is not the focus, changing the place of chatting from the office to the dining table is the focus, but even so, no matter how many times he eats and who he eats with, Iwahashi Shinichi still feels that the food in this restaurant is really not good.
.
Having said that, it was quite strange for both of them to choose a "terrible" restaurant for a long-lost dinner place, whether it was Shinichi Iwahashi who made the suggestion or Manyumi Watanabe who agreed without hesitation.
"Isn't it pretty good?"
However, Watanabe Manyumi made this comment after tasting each of the items she ordered.
Hearing what she said, Iwahashi Shinichi showed an expression of being excluded, which made Watanabe Wan Yumi laugh, "So, it seems that I am in the public's taste, right?"
Shinichi Iwahashi reacted quickly and joked: "If you put it like that, I am the worried Sato Ryohei-san in "Musiclife"."
Sato Ryohei is the name of the writer of the previous music review.
Hearing him ridicule himself like this, Watanabe Wan Yumi laughed even harder.
What made her laugh was not Shinichi Iwahashi's comparison, but his way of comparing himself to Ryohei Sato, subtly relegating Ryohei Sato's opinions in music reviews to the "minority" category.
Even so, Iwahashi Shinichi's childish instability and pettiness that he occasionally showed made him appear even more charming.
Seeing this part in his image, he becomes more real and natural in Watanabe Mayumi's eyes.
"anyway."
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Watanabe Wanyumi's smile and suddenly thought of something.
"What?"
Before Watanabe Wan Yumi could put away her smile, she looked at him.
"Sato Ryohei-san's music review provided me with another publicity idea," said Iwahashi Shinichi.
Watanabe Wan Yumi then became a little serious, "What did you think of again?"
Although it involves Moritaka Chisato, this is Genzo's business and she won't talk much, but it doesn't stop her from looking forward to Shinichi Iwahashi's seemingly inexhaustible supply of ideas.
