約2年半ぶりの6作目は、曲ごとのインパクトを強調した前作よりも全体のストーリー性に比重を置いたものに。世界で活躍する自分たちの姿を〈宇宙探検家〉に例えたと思しき表題曲や、これまでの道のりを振り返る“Star Train”“Tokimeki Lights”など壮大な曲に加え、たおやかな“Relax In The City”や大人びた歌詞の“Baby Face”など新機軸もキラリ。より成熟した表現へと手を伸ばしていく、3人の新たな姿が詰まっている。

Approximately 2.5 years since their last release, the 3-girl electro techno pop unit Perfume’s 6th album appears to be more story-based than the last in which the impact of each track was more the highlight. Besides the spectacular tunes like the title track connoting the internationally popular ‘selves’ as ‘Cosmic Explorers’, or “Star Train” and ”Tokimeki Lights” that look back on their paths until today, the full-length album sparklingly offers a brand-new approach also, with graceful and cute “Relax in the City” and all-grown-up lyrics-filled “Baby Face”. Reaching out to the next phase for more mature expressions, the trio’s new-self has been nicely packed here.
