Possible References to The Carpenters (Migi & Dali Analysis)

Before I begin, I'd like to credit and dedicate this post to the wonderful @moscasines for messaging me and pointing out the series of observations that will be discussed below. This post would not be possible without your help, so thank you very much! 🫶

As always, spoilers for Migi & Dali are discussed!

This post is also a bit on the longer side...

To begin, the subject of this post is The Carpenters, an American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of Karen Carpenter and her older brother Richard Carpenter. You can find more info on Wikipedia here.

The Carpenter siblings started their career in 1965 and achieved major success in the soft rock, easy listening, and adult contemporary music genres with hit singles such as "(They Long to Be) Close to You" and "We've Only Just Begun".

They've also toured continually in the 1970s, including in Japan where they performed at the famous Budokan in 1974.

This article gives some interesting insights into The Carpenter's influence in Japan, and I'd recommend checking it out! Namely, the Carpenters were known for their melody-oriented sound production that fits Japanese sensibilities, excellent vocals and English pronunciation, and their songs that give off the image of a good old American family.

In fact, the 1972 song "Top of the World" by The Carpenters was used as the theme song in the 1995 hit Japanese TV Drama "Miseinen" ("Under Age"), showing how The Carpenters' influence persisted in Japan even after their joint career abruptly ended in 1983 with Karen's tragic death from heart failure brought on by complications of anorexia.

Anyway, because of The Carpenters' influence in Japan, it is possible that Sano may have taken inspiration from them and their songs when creating Migi & Dali, and here are some possible references:

One of the characters is literally named Karen, who also possesses musical talent but specifically with the piano. As it turns out, Karen Carpenter is four years younger than her piano prodigy brother Richard, which seems to around the same age gap between Karen and Eiji. Furthermore, some have claimed that the root cause of Karen's anorexia was her overbearing, perfectionist mother who clearly favored her 'musical genius' brother Richard; this idea seems to parallel Reiko's obvious favoritism for Eiji and her relative disdain for Karen, someone who "never resembled Akira or Reiko" ---

One of the most iconic foods in the story other than cherry pie and omelet is jambalaya, which was featured in the first chapter and Episode of Migi & Dali. Interestingly, The Carpenters featured Hank William's song "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" on their album 1973 album Now & Then, which sold well in the US, UK, and Japan. The song is about lost love, life, parties, and Cajun cuisine. ---

The fact that the Carpenters are American, plus the remark about the songs giving off the the image of a good old American family could somewhat explain why the setting of Migi & Dali resembles a (relatively affluent) American suburb. ---

"(They Long to Be) Close to You" is song expressing the yearning to be close to someone you love, emphasizing how special and unique that person is. Some of the lyrics are particularly interesting, such as "Why do birds suddenly appear / Every time you are near?" and "So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold / And starlight in your eyes of blue", with birds being Akiyama's fascination and "hair of gold" and "eyes of blue" describing the twins' appearance. Perhaps this song references the Sonoyamas' and Akiyama's longing to be close to the twins. ---

"Rainy Days and Mondays" is a melancholic song that describes one's feeling of melancholy and loneliness and being unable to fit in, but finding comfort in knowing that another person loves them. Some notable lyrics are "What I've got they used to call the blues / Nothin' is really wrong / Feelin' like I don't belong" and "Funny, but it seems that I always wind up here with you / Nice to know somebody loves me". This could be a reference to the loneliness that Dali suffers, though he does find comfort in Migi's love for him. ---

"Top of the World" is an upbeat and joyful song about the feeling of being on top of the world due to being in love. It could be a reference to Migi's infatuation with Sali. ---

"Superstar" expresses longing and heartache, telling the story of someone yearning for a lost love using the example of a fan and a rock star. Some lyrics that stand out are "Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby? / You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby". This song could be a reference to Migi's feelings towards Sali, especially after Migi was rejected for Eiji. ---

"Ticket to Ride", a song by The Beatles that the Carpenters covered, is about someone leaving a relationship with a metaphorical ticket to ride, claiming that her partner was holding her down and that she would never be free, as her partner is left upset singing that "my baby don't care". This song could be a reference to Migi's separation from Dali as Migi literally rides away with his new freedom. ---

"Goodbye to Love" explores the sadness of lost love and the realization that one might not find love again, and one notable lyric is "I'll say goodbye to love / No one ever cared if I should live or die". It could be a reference to Dali when he believed that Migi would never love him again (especially when he was about to die), or to Eiji after he killed Reiko, believing he had no one left. ---

"Hurting Each Other" is a ballad that addresses the pain and difficulty of a troubled relationship where both parties are emotionally harming each other despite their love for each other. It could be a reference to some aspects of the twins' relationship, including their fight where they literally hurt each other despite their love for each other. ---

"We've Only Just Begun" explores the optimism of a couple beginning their new life together while mixing cautious introspection for the future. Some notable lyrics are "Before the risin' sun, we fly / So many roads to choose" and "And when the evening comes, we smile / So much of life ahead". It could be a reference to the twins' reconciliation after their fight, heading towards their happiness despite the danger ahead. ---

"Merry Christmas, Darling" is about the longing and fervent desire to spend Christmas together with a loved one that is apart. Some lyrics that stand out are "Merry Christmas, darling / We're apart, that's true / But I can dream and in my dreams / I'm Christmasing with you". This could be a reference to Migi's desire to live together with Dali while Dali was isolating himself in the shadows. ---

"Please Mr. Postman", a song by the Marvelettes that The Carpenters covered, is about the excitement, impatience, and eagerness of waiting for news of a loved one far away. It could be a reference to the twins in the short sequel manga. ---

In general, many songs that were covered and sung by The Carpenters share themes of love, lost love, longing, and loneliness, which also happen to be important themes in Migi & Dali.

I encourage the reader (including myself) to check out all of the songs I listed and more, as it's very fascinating to notice all the different connections to Migi & Dali and perhaps understand the characters better. There may be more songs that deserve to go on this list, so I may decide to update this post later (and of course the reader is very welcome to let me know if I missed any 😊)

Given these potential connections, The Carpenters might be another cultural reference that had a significant impact on Migi & Dali that helped Sano shape the characters and the direction of the story. Of course, I can't discount the possibility that all of this is just a big coincidence and that this post is just a big load of crap, but this wouldn't nearly be as interesting 😜

With all this in mind, I think that Migi & Dali would make a great musical, and it's interesting to imagine the characters singing songs like these in the anime. However, I've never seen a musical before, so I know nothing about them, but I have a good feeling that a Migi & Dali musical would be good. I'd probably see it.

Ringu

Ringu, by Hideo Nakata is an excellent horror film and is considered a classic even to this day. Watching it, not only did I notice how well the frightening scenes were constructed, but I also was shocked by the number of more down-to-earth scenes. For example, there were some genuinely touching scenes between Reiko and her family. For these reasons, I greatly enjoyed watching the film.

Ringu was so successful as a film that its impact is still very much tangible in pop culture to this day. From modern horror to video games and parodies, Ringu has become a cultural icon. The popularity of the film had spawned an entire franchise with films being made in both America and Japan. In addition, many films reference or parody the iconic scenes from the film, such as Scary Movie 3 or The Grudge. Ringu is also mentioned in games as well, such as Silent Hill 3 and Ghost Hunter.

I would go as far as to give Ringu credit for the entire trend of Analog horror that is so prominent in the horror scene today. Although Analog horror didn’t become a genre or trend until the late 2000s, I believe that Ringu laid the groundwork for what later became the genre in many ways. Analog horror often relies heavily on the idea of ‘cursed’ or corrupted media. This aligns with Ringu’s use of the tape throughout the film as a haunted piece of media. In addition, both use the VHS style in an attempt to enhance the horror aspect of the media. Finally, Ringu’s usage of distorted faces aligns with trends in the modern analog horror scene as well.

The film’s showcasing of characters who are struggling with their own mortality and how they choose to spend their last days on earth was a fascinating aspect of the film. By showing Reiko Asakawa’s choice to spend more time with her family (until her son gets cursed as well) in contrast to Ryuji Takayama’s relentless pursuit for any opportunity to survive, the film shows the different ways people cope with their limited mortality and displays the acceptance or denial of ‘fate’. Another fascinating aspect of the film is how the curse functions itself. The curse’s only ‘cure’ being to infect someone else with it creates a cyclical effect as the curse is constantly and intentionally spread from person to person. This, in essence, is a cycle of violence. This cycle of violence is represented by the name of the film itself, being Ringu. The film also questions how far you would go to save your own or someone else’s life, a topic which has become more widespread in recent years. In the end, the main character makes the choice to kill her father to save her son. This leaves the question: would you do the same?

2D Artist Research Examples included at end of section

Paul Robertson

Paul Robertson is an Australian animator best known for his pixel art and animation. Some, but not all, of his work has been on the The Invincible Iron Man game on the gameboy as well as the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World game. His primary focus seems to be, from a quick browse on his twitter and reading his wikipedia, is pixellated artwork which eludes a retro feel. Army of Trolls Army of trolls is the moniker of the artist Gary J Lucken. Army of Trolls, or just Gary, produces a unique brand of colourful artwork heavily influenced by videogames, toys and pop culture. He has worked for big names such as Disney, Mojang, BBC, and Sony. Waneella  Waneella, actual name unknown, seems to have a preference for neon colours and city landscapes; making usage of not just vibrant colours to highlight the lure of inner city life-styles but also duller colours to bring out the humanity in the metal terrain. Her work definitely has influence from Japanese cities - with the iconic cherry blossoms and neon signs giving weight to my claim. Ivan Dixon Ivan Dixon is an animator and illustrator known for both traditional art as well as pixel art. Dixon has a wide portfolio ranging from work on the 2D pixel segments of Fallout 4 to the critically acclaimed show Rick and Morty. Additionally he has produced content for famous singer-songwriter Childish Gambino and HBOs Game of Thrones. Pedro Medieros Pedro Medieros is a Brazilian game artist and programmer; whose work seems to emulate the old(er)-fashioned charm of devices like the gameboy with the less-is-more approach when it comes to pixel art. He also seems to do traditional art. Reiko Kodama Rieko Kodama, otherwise known as Phoenix Rye, is a  video game artist, director, and producer currently employed by Sega. Her work evokes the internationally classic Japenese wide-eyed anima/manga art style. She is credited for contributions to none other than Sonic The Hedgehogs art design.  2D GAMES RESEARCH  BEST 2D GAMES  https://jamescarthygamest1.tumblr.com/post/632137714607800320/week-3-2d-games TILE MAPS + TILE MAP GAMES RESEARCH https://jamescarthygamest1.tumblr.com/post/632130846093082624/week-2-tile-maps ART STYLE RESEARCH MARIO RESEARCH https://jamescarthygamest1.tumblr.com/post/632583709276635136/week-3-mario-super-mario-bros-wii UI/UX + VICE/MEDIUM https://jamescarthygamest1.tumblr.com/post/632134431599099904/week-3-uiux VOXEL GAMES KEYFRAME + MAYA animation https://fpsdevelopmentjcs.tumblr.com/post/637672937562030080/keyframe-animation-maya
