昨年末から数えて3枚目のフル・アルバムと依然ハイペースが続くNORIKIYOの6作目。政治的なトピックなども一部残すものの、怒りに任せた挑発的な物言いは全体に影を潜め、近作と大きく表情を変えている。過去に思いを残すラヴソングを多く収録したことも、タイトル曲の〈乾いた世界を潤す出番だ〉という一節のままにその手触りを強め、アコースティックな“まだゴールなら遠い”が本作での心のありようを映している。

 

[English Translation]
NORIKIYO "Joro (meaning A Watering Can)"

Briskly keeping the high-pace as usual (3 full-length albums in less than a year) the 6th release from a notable rapper NORIKIYO already reached here duly.  Keeping some political topics still intact yet the latest piece demonstrates a completely different look, with lesser anger-driven provocative tones than his recent others.  With plenty of love songs (mostly not-over-yet ones) for this time, the full-length album tactfully conveys a solid message exactly as an impact line in the title track 'Kawaita sekai o uruosu debanda (meaning It's our turn to pour some water over the dried-up world)' and an acoustic tune "Mada Goal nara Tooi (meaning Still Far from Goal)" surely reflects his current state of mind.
