Midnight Dejavu ~Colorful Blues~

Media coverage reviews, etc.

Who is more popular, Maris Mizell or Megumi Hayashibara? The reason why such a question is completely meaningless is because there are now too many castle lords of kingdoms who release CDs in the same way but never cross each other. In such a situation, the most popular people that everyone knows are Johnny's idols. When that happens, I think the answer to what kind of music is in demand will naturally become clear. I'm not saying whether this second album is good in that sense, but it feels like it's only half-baked. Perhaps because the writers are duplicates, there are many parts that I think are SMAP-like. SMAP's singles are always OK, but the staff is too proactive with their albums, so I don't want to listen to them over and over again. Furthermore, Tatsuro Yamashita's (12) and (13) approach the popular songs that Yamashita had always considered his virtual enemy, so I feel that there is a certain inconsistency. But they have the brilliance of the darlings of their time. Tsuyoshi's voice is good and Koichi's sense of melody is great.

The second work that includes self-composed songs. She has a good voice and sings well. Moreover, he has a strong desire for music. These basic positive elements give this album a feel that deviates from a {popular song album}. Something that isn't being pushed too hard by the writers. Musically, I'm looking forward to the next two or three years. -- Contents (from "CD Journal" database)
