Macaroni Empitsu, Saucy Dog ... A hit song unique to this era that sharply cuts out momentary emotions

Posted: THE FIRST TIMES

BE: FIRST "Gifted." Won the 1st place, and LINE MUSIC's November ranking where the boy group dominated the top 3 together with the following INI and Bullet Train. [MV] Macaroni Empitsu "Nothing," MV The result seems to be this platform where groups with enthusiastic fandoms compete for supremacy, but the movements that are worrisome in such a chart are among the top 30 songs. I would like to pick it up from and deliver it. ■ Ohashi Chippoke, Yuuri, Suzuki Suzuki: Male singers are also energetic Among the new appearances within the 30th place this month, Ohashi Chippoke's "Joryoku" is the one that I would like to pay attention to. The songs from the album "you" released in October attracted a lot of attention on TikTok and became one of the most popular artists. Since his major debut in 2018, Ohashi Chippoke has been attracting attention for his ability to create pop music based on a solid singing spirit while chewing various musicality, but "Joryoku" focuses on his bright side. One song that was done. In the interview, I also expressed a complicated feeling about this hit, "I have a feeling that only one side of me is expanding", but I hope that "Joryoku" will allow Ohashi Chippoke's previous songs to expand further. I think. That said, the recent music scene, where accidental hits in single songs have become mainstream, making it more difficult to "become a continuous listener after the first buzz." In such a situation, Yuuri has sent not only "Dried Flower", which can be said to be the biggest hit of this year, but also "Betergius" and "Shutter" to the 30th place. The songs are mainly based on simple love songs that resonate with young people, but the singing voice with a slightly bluesy atmosphere may be attractive to generations different from the current fan base. By the way, Yuuri's YouTube channel also has a cover of Ohashi Chippoke's "Joryoku" that I introduced earlier. The interpretation that is different from the original song with colorful arrangement is also quite good. Suzuki Suzuki's "White Kiss" is ranked 23rd alongside solo singers like Ohashi Chippoke and Yuuri. This song by a brother unit consisting of Tomu and Seiji is a straight Christmas song that seems to be rare these days. The harmony with the world view and emotion is addicted to the atmosphere of the current SNS where something like "emo" is emphasized. ■ Macaroni Empitsu, Saucy Dog: I used the words "simple love song" and "emosa", which are rock bands that survive the times, but compatibility with TikTok, which consists of short videos, has become important as a condition for hits. Nowadays, it seems that the element of "easy to understand, sad, and crying" is required more than ever. On the one hand, there is a risk that "the number of similar songs will increase and the chart will become monotonous", but there is also a positive aspect that it will be easier to create strong songs that sharply cut out momentary emotions. Two songs that are likely to be named as such "hits unique to this era" are Macaroni Empitsu's "Nanndemonaiyo" (5th) and Saucy Dog's "Cinderella Boy" (20th). "It's nothing" that puts the feelings for the partner in the line "I just want you not to die before me", and conversely, the word "dead" expresses the anger and giving up on the partner and the remaining affection. "Cinderella Boy". The former is a modern beat approach, and the latter is a band arrangement that does not add anything extra, accelerating the straight "emo" that the lyrics embody. Both songs are great works that show that there is still room for expansion in the expression love song. Since the Korona-ka, the situation has been difficult for rock bands as the wind blows toward live concerts and festivals, but it is very good that output that is supported even in the streaming place like these two songs is being born. I think it's a flow. As mentioned above, we have delivered the points of interest in November. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next month!
