Jpop Recommend #405 Sailor Muntarou by Maharajan

セーラ☆ムン太郎 SailorMuntarou

by マハラージャン Maharajan


Released in March 2021, this song is his 3rd but 1st major debut single.  The title "Sailor Muntarou" first caught my attention.  Yes, it was inspired from the very popular Japanese anime, "Sailor Moon".  ”太郎, Taro" is a common name for boys and it is often used in a folktale such as "浦島太郎, Urashima Tarou", and "桃太郎,  Momo Tarou".  So "Sailor Mun (Moon) Tatou" is a boy version of "Sailor Moon".

The lyrics is cheering for an unknown hero who fights against various challenges in daily life.  Even though they don't have magical tricks or wand as their weapon, their lonely battle can make a miracle sometimes.
