昨年よりバンドが掲げていたコンセプト〈Joker's KINGDOM〉の完結作。絶望の底から力強く這い上がるように疾駆する“カルマ”や、哀哭するように歌い上げた景夕の声に胸を抉られる激情的なヘヴィー・ミディアム“微笑みの葬列者”など、全編を通してシリアスさを湛えたサウンドを展開。また、それと絡み合うように奏でられる儚さを帯びたピアノの旋律が絶対的支配者〈JOKER〉の最期をドラマティックに盛り上げている。

Kra "Satahinato"
The latest mini-album from this visual-kei band serves as the grand finale for the themed story the band launched last year, the 'Joker's KINGDOM'. Songs such as "Karma", galloping at great speed as if forcefully emerging from the abyss of despair, or the explosively emotional gut-wrenching heavy-medium tune "Hohoemi no Soretsusha (meaning The Smiling Funeral Party)" sung by vocalist Keiyu as if he was weeping, are the pieces that contribute in portraying an overall seriousness across the album. The intertwining refrains of the fragile piano sets the perfect stage for the dramatic end of the imperator, the 'J-OKER'.
