Akatsuki no Car
Akatsuki no Car (Japanese name: Akatsuki no Car) is one of the episodes added to the show when the Japanese anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED was broadcast in 2003. An impression song of the anime's heroine, Cagalli Yura Asha, has been released on CD. At first, Akatsuki no Car did not appear as a single, but as the fourth episode of the official Drama-SuitCD, which was released at the end of 2003. The single was not published in 2003 as expected. At the end of September 2004, as a commemoration of the first anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam's broadcast, Akatsuki no Car was finally produced as a single for sale. The cover was a portrait of Cagalli drawn by Hirai Kuji, the character set of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
The reason why the author Yuki Kajiura developed this song to a good level is also related to her personal emotions. When Kajiura was 19 years old, he witnessed his beloved father fighting the disease and becoming haggard day by day until he finally passed away forever. This personal pain of separation and death, as well as the memory of the deceased, have always remained in her heart, and were finally released after the completion of "The Car of the Dawn". Minami Yuka, the singer of "Akatsuki no Car", has had a cooperative relationship with Kajiura as early as the "Minami Aoyama Girls Opera Troupe". Her clear and ethereal singing voice reveals a touch of sadness, like a girl standing in the ruins singing about the war. Elegy - in the 40th episode of the anime, it perfectly highlights Cagalli's pain and helplessness after losing her father, making the song a great response. The combination of Fiction Junction YUUKA (Yuki Kajiura + Yuka Minamizato) became a favorite for a while.
Evaluation
The car of Akatsuki first appeared in SEED Chapter 24 "The War of Two", and in Chapter 40 as the leader of the Orb country when it faced the crisis of national subjugation. Uzmi Yura Asghar entrusted Kira Yamato and others with the belief in "implementing Orb's ideals" and ending the C.E. 72 war caused by ideology, and ordered them to leave Orb and go to the universe, and bring the earth to Earth. The mass projector that the Union needed most was blown up together with Kaguya Island, committing suicide and martyring the country. In terms of music style, Kajiura Yuki used guitar and triangle to perform a relatively gentle intro, which was interrupted by a march-style music style. With the vocals, the song reaches its climax. The song uses the "wheel" as a metaphor for the passage of history in the C.E. era, and also represents the struggle of those who rely on Orb's ideals. Some comments believe that the song expresses Cagalli's sadness about saying goodbye to her father and shouldering a long and arduous mission alone. The fit between the song and the theme of the animation in episode 40 is considered by a large number of viewers to be almost perfect. of. Evaluation of the song itself in mainland China: The influence of Akatsuki no Car can be seen from various rankings of anime music, but some people also accuse many of these works of just following the trend and blindly worshiping Akatsuki no Car. In fact, the car of Akatsuki does not have deep enough connotations. Akatsuki no Car has also become a comparison against which Yuki Kajiura's other works will be measured. There have been a large number of cover versions of the song since its release, which illustrates the popularity of Akatsuki Car in the Chinese region.
