初のコンセプト・アルバムという7作目。戦時下で言論統制が敷かれたパラレルな世界を、情報過多かつカオティックなまでに多様なアレンジの11曲で描いている。9分を超えるロック・オペラ調の“昭和九十年十二月”や、吉田豪によるアイドルのインタヴューが挿入される“平成死亡遊戯”といった壮大な曲が強い印象を残す一方、多くの楽曲は至極キャッチーなポップソングとしても享受できるし、そこがまた魅力的だ。
[English Translation]
URBANGARDE "Showa 90"
Their 7th album is the first concept album that portrays a parallel world where freedom of speech was restricted in wartime Japan, containing 11 tracks with overloads of information and chaotically diversified arrangements. While featuring epic and impressive songs such as the 9-plus-minute, rock opera-inspired "Showa Kyuju-nen Juni-gatsu (meaning December in Showa 90)" and "Heisei Shibo Yugi (meaning Heisei Death Game)" in which an interview by Go Yoshida with an idol is inserted, many of the songs on the album can also be enjoyed strictly as catchy pop songs, making it all the more attractive.
