くすぶった思いや日常に寄り沿った前作から一転、〈真っ暗なトンネル〉を抜け、羽振りよくヒップホップ・ゲームを渡る姿が冒頭から踊るセカンド・アルバム。サウンドはぐっとアグレッシヴに変化を遂げ、急き立てるシンセとタイトル連呼のフックが狂騒に導く“Don't Stop Party”で一際激しく形になっている。その一方で、〈毒がない奴は結局ダメ〉と“FUCK YOU”でクサす反骨のリリックは、お金から広く世の中に思いを巡らす“ゼニカネ論”、さらに賛否を呼びそうなこの国への物言い“憂国”で鋭さを増すことに。甘いラヴソング“SEA OF THE LOVE”や、端々のコミカルなリリックで〈潮フェッショナル〉の健在ぶりを見せるエロソング“DSMD”などと併せ、持ち前の振り幅をより大胆に見せつける新作だ。
[English Translation]
Mishima “Kane to Onna to Dai-Tokyo (meaning Money, Women and the Big City of Tokyo)”
In complete contrast to the previous album in which he stayed present to smoldering feelings or everyday matters, Mishima has gone through a 'Dark Tunnel' and made a huge change on the second album where he is seen playing hip-hop games from the opening track. The sounds have changed to a more aggressive tone, especially prominent on “Don't Stop Party” which leads to madness with bustling synth sounds and the hook of repeating shouts of the track name. On the other hand, he criticizes ‘harmless guys are useless in the end’ in "FUCK YOU," and such rebellious lyrics get sharper on “Zeni Kane Ron (meaning Theory of Money)” where his thoughts are stretched from money to the big wide world, and also in controversial "Yukoku (meaning Patriotism)" where he expresses his objection of this country. In conjunction with the sweet love song "SEA OF THE LOVE" and the sensual song "DSMD" which proves that he’s still a 'Shio-fessional (his other name meaning Dr. Pussy)' with fragments of comical lyrics seen here and there, this album shows his wide range of characters in a venturous way.
