Miharu Koshi - Moonray (2015)

The second album “Moonray” by Kosimiharu named “Madame Krüner” was completed. Two years ago, when she first made her name, it was a fresh surprise. This is because the name “Cruener” has been used for a long time, but it was all about male singers, and there was no example of calling a female singer “Cruener”. The male crew was adored during the heyday of the big band singer in the 1930s and 40s, and Bing Crosby was regarded as the best. For reference, if you look at the Crooning section of the OⅩFORD music dictionary at hand, it is defined as follows.
“One type of popular singing, with some jazzy intonation and phrasing that goes out of straight singing, utters a deep, sensual and trembling voice from the bottom of the throat, slides up and sings. The chanting has become prominent by the effective use of microphones, Croon's etymology comes from slang singing mellow in black software, or some theory comes from the German word Krönen. Cloon became Lost Art after the death of the great pioneer Bing Crosby. "
“Madam Kruener” should not appear to have emerged in this world as a madam to regain this lost art.
A retrospective review of Kosimiharu's diverse music demonstrates that he has accumulated talent to call her a true “Madam Kruener”.

As Haruomi Hosono and Koji Ueno point out, her music is “writerism, that is, the literary expression of beauty through sound and poetry”, and her aim is literature and pop, writership and performance, The bridge between the former and the other side of the conflict between Japanese and French music. As a result, her work has a variety of musical features, such as pop-like melodies, Chanson-like poetry, jazz-style sounds and rhythm sounds, and classic stable performances and performances. It was. Then, in 2013, “Madame Krüner” appeared as a new singer, following this “Moonray”.
I hope that the new album “Moonray”, which is the second work of “Madam Kruener”, will lead to a further leap of her artistic performance.
