名作文学(笑) VSシリーズ 北風VS太陽


Meisaku Bungaku (warai) VS Series - Kitakaze VS Taiyou



This is originally a well known literary work in which the North Wind  challenges the Sun to see who will first succeed to make a lone traveler take  off his coat. In this CD this tale is being told in various setting: Host club,  Original, Sangoku battle, Police story, and Door-to-door selling.

The first track turns the both of them into hosts. The one challenges the other to see can make the next customer order a bottle of champagne first. However   the  next customer is a man who came to retrieve his daughter... Hearing both   of them trying to convince the man to order all kind of things while trying to   'help' him was rather amusing.

The second track tells the (almost) original version of the story. While the   previous track was amusing to listen to this one first made me laugh out loud   (well, allmost. I couldn't really laugh in the train...xD). The music used when  the sun uses his SUNSHINE ATTACK was to brilliant.

In the third track both of them are now strategists in the Sangoku era. An  entirely new Sangoku era in which Mobile phones already existed. The first one  to defeat the opposing army is the winner. Once again the sun makes use of his  SUNSHINE ATTACK while the North Wind uses the online weather forecast to make  use of a sudden wind blowing from the north.

The forth time they are both police officers trying to get a suspect to admit   his crime. More speciffically, the man from the second track who was arrested   for taking all his clothes off in public. And a good cop - bad cop act begins~!  xD

The last story is a door-to-door selling contest. The sun is trying to sell   make-up while the North Wind is trying to sell forgot-whatever-he-was-trying-to-sell. The effect of the make-up is just too brilliant.

Conclusion:
Even though the result of the match is the same every time (it follows the  original setting after all) it is interesting to hear how they managed to turn  it into a different settings. Another interesting thing is that they keep the  same (or almost the same) personality every time. In the beginning I had some  problems keeping the voices apart, especially when the discussion got more  heated. BUT it was a brilliant CD that I recommend to everyone.
