[Second Clerk T] Akikoishi/ MN-logic24
Hello, nice to meet you again. I'm T, the store clerk.
My hay fever has been so bad lately that I only carry a box of tissues and some pocket tissues in my bag.
Because of this condition I have never been able to enjoy a proper cherry blossom viewing, but I love spring.
It's fun to enjoy this season by having cherry blossom viewing and feeling the spring breeze!
However, I would like you to sometimes think about the seasons that have passed and those that are yet to come.
That's why I would like to introduce you to MN-logic24's album Akikoishi. As you may have guessed from the title, this is an autumn, Fujin Roku arrangement album. This work was distributed at the previous 19th Autumn Reitaisai Festival, and was created over a year after vocalist mineko had been on hiatus for about five years. Even though it's a comeback album, the level of perfection is amazing... This was the first time I heard MN-logic24's songs on this album, and I'm completely hooked. I'm looking forward to the next album...
So, this time I would like to introduce two songs, focusing on them: "Misora" and "Ame to Kimi." thank you.

Original song: Faith is for the fleeting human
This song, which begins with light guitar and drums, was arranged by tomoya from TUMENECO, who is well-known for his rock arrangements. In fact, this album was arranged by other people from various circles, including Masayoshi Yagami of efs. Therefore, one of the big attractions is that you can enjoy rock music with a variety of atmospheres.
The lyrics of this song
Please God make me happy
You don't have to wish for it, let's make it come true together
There's a phrase that goes like this. I really love this phrase.
It may or may not have been Sanae who said this. However, instead of relying on God, she feels like we should make it happen together with her, who is next to her...!! (Well, Sanae is like a god, after all.) hey)
Then, the two of them take off into the refreshing, clear autumn sky.
It is a great song that succinctly expresses the magnificent energy of autumn and is truly worthy of the title "Mikuu"!!
Before we get into the next song, here's a side note that might make you enjoy the album even more: There's a debate about when is the season when life is most exciting? There is, right?
I think it's definitely autumn. After all, autumn is the season when all kinds of plants begin to bear fruit and prepare to commit their lives, the trees in the mountains turn red, and animals fatten up for the approaching winter!
Could there be a more exciting season than this?!
But I often get the comment, "Spring is when flowers bloom."
I couldn't say anything. In that sense, autumn could be said to be the climax!!
Anyway, that was a pretty trivial story. Now, let's move on to the next song.
Rain and You
Original song: Ryunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa ~ Candid Friend
This song, which begins with a calm guitar and mineko's mature voice, always has a lonely atmosphere, and when I listen to it, images of a rainy day naturally come to mind.
As the song progresses to the B-melody, the story gradually becomes clear.
I saw you late at night and followed you into the forest
Let's look for it, because I'm actually a lonely person
The lyrics about suddenly finding a kappa late at night and chasing after it are reminiscent of the scene in Ryunosuke Akutagawa's ``Kappa,'' which is the source of the original song, in which the main character walks down a road filled with fog. Masu.
Then the song moves on to the first chorus.
Someday I won't need those words again
Don't go, childhood dream
These lyrics remind me of a kappa who has left without being able to hold back, and it makes me feel like I'm always in a dream. Are kappas something that can only be seen when we are children, like some ghosts? Can I still see them? This song is wonderful because it makes you feel that way.
And so the story progresses from dream to reality... but I urge you to find out the ending for yourself!
By the way, this song was arranged by Tsune Matsui of minimum electric design. The duo of mineko and Tsune Matsui can be seen in many other places, but this one is really good... You can see many of these combinations in the works commissioned by Akiba Hobby, so if you are interested, please look for them!!
Well, that's it for now. See you next time.
