For a comprehensive magazine with a circulation approaching half a million copies, the publicity effect of such an article is undoubtedly huge.
Even excluding readers who have no interest in this section, readers who pay no attention to music, readers who have no reaction after reading it...and so on, the remaining ones are curious about Chisato Moritaka and are willing to take action.
For readers who want to satisfy their curiosity in person, one-tenth of the half million is a considerable number.
This is an unprecedented advertisement.
Who is Chisato Moritaka? How could he impress Kawahata Kichiichiro, bring him the inspiration for this article, and get such praise from him?
The original idol Minami Saori is beautiful and will always remain in people's youthful memories. This is a "fact" that needs no further explanation. Therefore, no matter how much Kawahata Kichiro praises Minami Saori, or because Minami Saori was inspired, he expressed his gratitude to the public.
It all seems so natural.
Who wouldn’t like Minami Saori like that?
But Chisato Moritaka was different. The name seemed so unfamiliar. She sang a cover of the famous song of the eternal idol Minami Saori. It was very bold to cover the famous song, but Kawahata Kichiro actually praised her like that. It can even be said that she has never
She found inspiration there.
What charm does she have and what kind of magic power does she have?
Is she really as good as Kawahata Kichiichiro writes in his article? Or is it just Kawahata Kichiichiro's temporary sentimentality?
Shingo Nakagawa, an employee at a communications company, had such questions in his mind.
Shingo Nakagawa is twenty-four years old this year, and this is his second year working in the company.
His family is an ordinary working-class family in Gunma County. In addition to his parents and him, there is also a brother who is six years older than him and a sister who is four years younger.
My elder brother has a good mind and is good at sports, so he is the so-called hero in school. In comparison, although his younger brother's grades are average to above average, they are quite good, but they are not as good as his elder brother's, and his sports skills are just mediocre.
Therefore, I hate physical education classes the most.
When I was young, my father was the only one who supported the family in a large family of five. The financial situation was not so good, so Nakagawa Shingo had to wear clothes worn by his elder brother. My elder brother was strong, but his clothes looked empty on Nakagawa Shingo, as if he was wearing clothes.
Tell outsiders that Nakagawa Shingo is not as good as his brother.
On the one hand, Nakagawa Shingo respects his outstanding brother. On the other hand, ill-fitting clothes and various trivial matters in life also make Nakagawa Shingo feel unconvinced. He thinks that no matter what, when can he
How about beating your brother once?
My brother with excellent grades was admitted to a university in Tokyo. However, when he was about to take office, the aftermath of the oil crisis was still lingering, the economy was in recession, and employment was difficult. Even such an outstanding brother had to work hard for a suitable job.
With all your strength.
In his hometown in Gunma, Nakagawa Shingo heard from his parents about his brother's employment. On the one hand, he felt a little secretly and despicably happy because his brother was exhausted, but on the other hand, he was happy that he had found a suitable job.
However, behind the exhilaration and joy, there is a deep fear that even my brother is having such a difficult time. What will he do when he takes office?
However, when Nakagawa Shingo also went to Tokyo to study at university, the world changed quietly without realizing it. By the time he was about to take office, he had entered an unprecedented era.
The recession era was perfectly avoided, and the golden era spread out before him. He didn't have to bother to find a job by himself. Instead, numerous companies came to him to entertain him with good food and drinks, just to sign a letter of intent for employment with him.
The two brothers are now in Tokyo. Nakagawa Shingo sometimes goes to his brother's house for dinner. When talking about the current situation, his brother always smiles and says he is lucky.
Is it good luck? Shingo Nakagawa doesn’t deny it. But isn’t luck also part of strength?
During a sumo match, a weak player may be able to successfully challenge a player several times stronger than himself. Isn't such a magical reversal the greatest charm of sumo? Whenever such a situation occurs, the audience will cheer loudly.
The right time, right place and right people, Nakagawa Shingo believes that standing at this high starting point, a reversal of life will begin from here.
Among the many companies that offered him a hand, he chose his current company. When he joined the company, he bought a car in installments and rented it to live a casual life in Tokyo. The company organized yacht parties from time to time, and he and his colleagues followed
The dispatched employees of the company got together and went to a disco together.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, every night is colorful.
Nakagawa Shingo was full of gratitude for this era that allowed him to regain his confidence, and was moved by Kawahata Kichiichiro's description of the era. Because of this, his curiosity about Moritaka Chisato became even deeper.
If you are curious, you must take action. This is an era when the Japanese people's ability to act is higher than ever.
When Minami Saori became popular, he was still a primary school student. When he saw her singing and dancing in a mini skirt on TV, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Minami Saori was beautiful, cute and desirable.
The older brother, who is about to enter high school, is a real fan of Saori Minami and will save money to buy her tapes. The two brothers share the same room, and the older brother puts a poster of Saori Minami on his wall.
In the current curiosity about Moritaka Senri, is there also a reluctance to admit defeat towards his brother?
The day he read Kawahata Kichiichiro's article, Nakagawa Shingo went to the record store and found "17 Years Old" by Chisato Moritaka. After returning home, he put the record into the record player.
When the rhythmic prelude sounded, Nakagawa Shingo thought to himself, how kind!
It's affectionate, not nostalgic. This way of arrangement makes it impossible to find any connection with "17 Years Old" seventeen years ago. Instead, it closely follows the current trends and is not outdated, old-fashioned or nostalgic at all.
class feeling.
After the prelude, Morigao Qianli's voice came out.
The melody is still a familiar melody, but with the new arrangement, it seems to have become a new song. Nakagawa Shingo doesn't even feel that he is listening to an old song from seventeen years ago, but as if he is listening to
A new song that just came out.
However, in this "new song", there are subtle shadows of the past.
Listening to "17 Years Old" like this, he could understand why Kawahata Kiichiro had such emotion. This is an unprecedented era, and only in this era can "17 Years Old" regain such brilliance.
Minami Saori, whom my brother liked, has gone out of style. Now is the era where fast-paced dances can be performed without missing a beat.
If you continue as before, you will be abandoned sooner or later.
When Nakagawa Shingo listened to this song, he seemed to see himself finally coming out of the rivalry with his brother and moving into the vast world now.
Chisato Moritaka's "17 Years Old" is the "17 Years Old" in his heart.
