NC.A - "My student teacher"

NC.A, one of the notable female rookie singers in 2013, makes her debut with the first digital single 'My Student Teacher'. With a rich and powerful voice, she was already appreciated as a talented rookie musician after the performance as a guest at Yurisangja's concert last year.

NC.A's debut song 'My Student Teacher' is composed by Yurisangja Park Seunghwa to make a perfect fit song for her, written by Lee Jiwon/Scared only son, and arranged by Seo Jeongjin, a hit-maker composer to give completeness to the song.

The medium-tempo's trendy band sound is impressive, expressing a girl's innocent love towards her student teacher in a straightforward and cute way. Addictive lyrics like 'Kung Kung, my heart flutters. Kung Kung, he's coming now. What do I do. My heart says kung kung.' portray the fluttering heart of the little girl in love in a lovely way.

One of my memories through this song.

 

A small personal anecdote about this song by Chihiro Onitsuka.
The first time I heard this song was used as the soundtrack of videos on youtube in memory

of the victims of Fukushima, I remember that moment with great emotion because I have

friends who live in Japan.
These were days of fear and very sad for me, those days of the accident in Fukushima.
Every time I hear this song I have thrills and a tear drops me on the face, I can not

forget the sacrifice of those who have sacrificed their lives to prevent the disaster

worsens even more.
Never let us not forget the heroes of Fukushima, those who gave their lives for the sake

of Others.
