For Chinese, the more familiar Japanese female singers may be Miyuki Nakajima and Izumi Sakai, after all, the former Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have sung too many songs from her, while the latter was born beautiful and died young, famous for singing many anime interludes. For the first two singers, the Morita boy mentioned in this article may be too different, although she is a trio of people who are known as showa "Dark Songs" along with Miyuki Nakajima and Yamazaki, and are as mysterious as Sakai, but in China, there are still a few people who know her.
Morita Boy debuted in 1975 under the stage name Morita Boy, she has a mysterious style, always with long curly hair and sunglasses. Her youthful and nihilistic lyrics and whispered singing voice are her hallmarks, and as a singer-songwriter with a highly personal style, her songs are called "Dark Songs" because "death" is discussed in many of the words in her songs. Her songs were not pleasant, and her voice was melancholy and desolate. The lyrics are full of disillusionment: "If I die, I hope you will silently forget me, when lonely, please cry in the rape flower field that I like", "Daddy, Mommy, please allow me to be your good child, hang on to each other" "I like sleeper cars, the roar of the car is like in the womb, so that I can sleep peacefully." ”
She is well known to Chinese listeners as the 1993 classic Japanese drama "College Teacher", which was written by Shinji Nojima, which uses a number of Morita boy songs as the theme song or interlude, the theme song "Our Failure" combines the drama full of frustration and disillusionment, giving people a strong shock! Morita himself died in 2018 at the age of 66.
