多彩なリズム・アプローチと社会へのメッセージを孕んだ歌詞が強烈だった前作からおよそ1年半。カメラ＝万年筆の佐藤優介をレコーディング・エンジニアに迎えて、昆虫キッズが通算4作目を完成させた。中盤でコズミックなダンス・チューンに変貌する“冥王星”などの新機軸に興奮させられつつ、作品全体のセンティメンタルなムードに何度も胸を揺さぶられる。水面に映るバレリーナを描いたアートワークも美しい。

Konchu Kids (The Insect Kids) – Blue Ghost
A year and a half from the previous killer release known for the diverse rhythm approach and blistering lyrics containing a heap of social messages, Yusaku Sato from the ‘academic-pop’ unit caméra-stylo joins as the recording engineer in the production of the 4th release from Konchu Kids. Turning on the listener with innovative tracks such as “Meiosei (meaning Pluto)” that throws down a mid-song transformation in to a cosmic dance tune, the sentimental mood oozing throughout the whole album still moves the hearts of the listener over and over again. The artwork of the reflection of a ballerina on the surface of quiet waters is absolutely stunning too.
