Hi there, have you kept up with the trend of first love recently? Because of the effect caused by the series "First Love First Love " (2022) of Netflix, a first love trend has also appeared in the music circle, and the gathered inspiration, the song "First Love" (1999) of the same name has also jumped into everyone's playlist again. The original singer of "First Love" is undoubtedly one of the heroines of Heisei. This song can be said to be one of the famous works of this generation of divas, and Utada was only 15 years old when he released this song! The album of the same name, "First Love" (1999), with "First Love" as its third single, sold over 10 million copies in Asia. It is still the best-selling album in Asia and is also called "Utada Mitsuki Myth" by the Japanese music scene.
In fact, in the series "First Love", Utada's song of the same name "First Love" released in the 2018 album "First Love" is also one of the inspiration for the drama. However, because "First Love" is so classic, almost everyone in Asia could hum a sentence at that time, so it became the biggest benefit song to become popular this time. This is not the theme song of "First Love" that made the drama known to everyone. It became the theme song of the classic Japanese drama "The Witch's Condition" (1999, The Witch's Condition ), which shows how charming this song is!
Of course I heard "First Love", but I regarded this song as a popular song nowadays. Unexpectedly, when it became popular again, I could actually hear a different feeling from that time. There is no need to say much about Utada's singing voice. Whether it is creation, singing skills or trying new styles, Utada who appears in front of everyone always surprises people; but it is worth thinking about it that the singing skills that still make us admire today were just interpreted by a 15-year-old girl, and they have mastered their singing skills impeccably in terms of singing skills or emotions. It is not surprising that they can become famous again after 23 years.
I don’t know if the voice in this song is like me, but I think Utada’s use of qiyin is really terrifying and terrifyingly meticulous. Of course, we are already very familiar with the texture of the sound, but I have never noticed that the use of the sound of the air was so powerful that it was so powerful. If there was a breath of aura and the real-fake sound conversion were very difficult for this song. In addition to taking into account the musicality of the singing, we can still accurately convey emotions. Sada is worthy of being called a genius creative girl when she debuted. It is still amazing to hear it again.
is the same pure MV as the song. Now looking back, it may be a bit monotonous, but using the method of taking quietness in the middle of the tranquility is indeed very suitable for this song. You can also see Utada, who was still very immature and young at the time. Perhaps because the age is a bit old, most of the MVs that use lens conversion to change have not been discussed on the Internet. However, according to this MV that has been uploaded for about 6 years, it has now exceeded 70 million views. I believe that with the blessing of "First Love", the increase in the near future may be faster!
Utada Hikari himself may not have thought that an old song that has been more than 20 years ago would become popular again because of the current film album platform. I think "First Love" should also be a very important song for him, not only because of the emotions contained in it, but also one of his very important works in the music industry. I don’t know why recently, but it seems that the Japanese trend is slowly rising in various places. Just like the Kazakhstan trend in the past 20s and 20s, I wonder if this trend will become bigger and bigger? Will the works of Utada Hikari, such as Mai Kuraki, Mai, , Ayumi Amuro, and others who are also known as Heisei, be dug out and praised again? Let’s take a look at how this trend will continue to develop!
