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.
