〈バンドなのか、お笑いなのか、シンガーなのか、俳優なのか〉とかつて問われた彼らが、十八番の人名(固有名詞)曲20連発でその定義をさらにどうでもよくした20周年記念盤。下衆さをユーモアとパンクでアリにしてしまう様は、やっぱり過剰で最高! タフなギターが轟くガレージ・ロック“でんでん”、ファンキーなカッティングにまさかの悪ノリで応酬する“さかなクン”の本人熱演にも注目だ。


[English Translation]
Group Tamashii "20 Mei (meaning 20 Persons)"

The band who had always been questioned whether ‘they were a musical band, comic group, singers, or actors’, have taken it further and actually made the answer even more clear as mud by releasing their 20th anniversary album, with all the twenty songs on the album titled with actual people’s names, one of their specialty jokes. The way they make their vulgar lyrics acceptable or even welcomed with humor and punk is really impressive. The garage rock “Den Den” with a prominent hardboiled guitar sound, and the passionate acting in the song “Sakana-kun” featuring himself (the famous ichthyologist/fish expert,) who gets carried away with his improbable retaliation against the funky guitar muting technique, are definitely worth checking out.
