This is the brilliant debut song of a 16-year-old new girl singer, and an immortal masterpiece that has left a definite mark on the history of Showa pop music. Without "Glass Hill", there would be no "Takada Mizue". Because "Glass Hill" was her debut song, the girl became "Takada Mizue"... The fact that I "didn't know" this most important song among Mizue's numbers in real time was my biggest complex as a Mizue fan. I first learned about "Takada Mizue" through "Bidro Koi Zaiku", but even if I try hard to trace my memory now, I really have no memory of "Takada Mizue" before that. After the single "Bidro Koi Zaiku", I bought the album "Bidro Zaiku", and after that I bought the album "Original First", but since "Glass Hill" and "Dakedo" are included on this album, I actually didn't buy the singles of "Glass Hill" and "Dakedo". I have not contributed at all to the sales (chart trends) of these two songs. I didn't experience the shock that the world felt when a genius young singer debuted with the song "Glass Hill". It was a time when I wasn't that interested in the "entertainment idol" genre, but whenever I heard about the feelings of "Glass Hill" from "Erinosuke" and other die-hard fans from that time, I felt truly "envious" and at the same time, I couldn't be honest with myself because of my complex, and I even felt rebellious against the trend that "Takada Mizue means Glass Hill". Although my favorite song "Bidoro Koi Zaiku" was never sung at concerts, I have the impression that "Glass Hill" was sung almost every time at later concerts. And the "last last" encore at the "Final Concert" was also "Glass Hill". Takada Mizue's singing career literally began and ended with "Glass Hill". I once saw a comment that said, "Takada Mizue was never able to surpass 'Glass Hill' in the end." The girl who set out on the ocean of showbiz with "Glass Hill" finally arrived at the port of "Glass Hill" after many adventures. Some people think that the song "Glass Hill" was too big for the singer Mizue Takada, and she was not able to "get over" it. Is that really the case? I have previously speculated that her last single "China Lights" was the "origin and the end point" of Mizue Takada, but it may be that her debut song "Glass Hill" is the song that best deserves the title of "origin and the end point." Ryudo Uzaki's enka rock sound, the sparkling transparency and fragility of the item "glass," the slightly surreal world of the song that depicts the dreams of an adolescent girl, and Mizue Takada's free-flowing, beautiful, delicate and powerful vocals. "Glass Hill" was Takada Mizue's debut song, and there is no doubt that it was already the "culmination" of all the essence of a Mizue song. That's why there's no such thing as "surpassing" it in the first place. "Erinosuke" once said that just hearing the intro to "Glass Hill" brings tears to his eyes. When I was putting together this slideshow, I listened to "Glass Hill" again and again, and I was able to experience a little bit of what "Erinosuke" said about "getting teary just hearing the intro." I feel like I've now qualified to be added to the bottom of the Mizue fanbase (;^ω^)
