還暦を過ぎてもビンビンのDJによる8年ぶりの新作。風営法、原発、エロ——どんなお題でも説教臭くならず、笑わせながら問題提起していく言葉選びはこの人ならではでしょう。Home Grown西内徹らシーン最高峰のミュージシャンが援護したオケも、ワルツサンバ沖縄音楽ロックンロールなど非常に多彩で飽きさせません。とりわけ〈Real Rock〉をオルタナ・メタル化したような冒頭曲にはたまげましたぜ!

[English Translation]
The full throttle DJ even over the age 60, and often described as father of Japanese reggae, RANKIN TAXI’s new full-length album has been released, 8 years since the previous release. Regardless of topics, including Fueiho (the Entertainment and Amusement Trades Control Law), nuclear power, porn or whatever, his never-preachy, rightly chosen words brilliantly represent his own approach in a laughter-inducing charming way as ever. Featuring top-notch guest musicians as Home Grown (reggae band) or Tetsu Nishiuchi (reggae sax player), colorfully hued backing tracks with a variety of styles including waltz, samba, Okinawan, rock’n’roll bring plenty of excitement with no room for boredom. Especially the opening track, alternative metal-ized real rock riddim “FIRE ROCK” is completely mind-blowing!
