Despite being a digital release, the album is composed of two parts, "Kotohogi" on the A-side and "Jyugen" on the B-side, and contains a total of 17 songs, making it both a monstrous and problematic work. The comments from the five members who touched on "Kotohogi" also speak for themselves.
Whether you take this blessing as blackmail or blackmail as light on the way to the exit, this album spits out what is happening to all of us equally right now, and I think it was quite soul-crushing. This is an album for those of you who live in the reality of having taken both the red pill and the blue pill. This is a magical work by Q Honda. OMSB

Today's majority is tomorrow's minority. In this era of weakened democracy, if you care about music - please send this song to your loved ones first. Masahiro Nakamura (NPO School Liberty Network Co-President )
