[Machine Translation] BIGMAMA, a young melodic punk and emo band, will release their long-awaited 7-track mini-album on July 5 as the second RX-RECORDS artist. The band's participation in the RX-RECORDS omnibus "...of newtypes" released last year was so eagerly awaited by many buyers nationwide that they were already inundated with inquiries. The presence of a violin, the gem of a melody, and a five-piece band of pitch-perfect 20-year-old classmates, like yellowcard or useless ID, are all synonymous with melodic pop-punk. BIGMAMA is a band that has successfully absorbed the punk DNA of the high standard generation and blended it with the so-called "emo" bands such as COPELAND, GET UP KIDS, and JIMMY RAT WORLD, as well as the new generation of melodic punk bands mentioned above. The lyrics are sad and cynical about society and themselves, as if they represent the feelings of people around 20 years old, and the recommended song M-2 "CPX" is about a sad android. I hope you will read it. Also, BIGMAMA has done a cover of Swing Out Sister's "NOW YOU'RE NOT HERE" (Japanese title: theme song for the drama "Kimi ni Iite Wish You Were Here" / TBS series "Midday Moon" starring Yuji Oda, Takako Tokiwa, etc.), which is also known as a "Japan expert" in the BIGMAMA style. The title of the album is "SHORT FILMS", which means "I want you to listen to each song as if you were watching a short film" (according to Vo. Kanai), so that you can imagine the images of each song. Of course, please come to the live house and enjoy their life-size live performance. 2006 BIGMAMA is sure to bring excitement to the music scene!

若手メロディツクパンク、エモシーンで大注目バンドBIGMAMAがRX-RECORDS第2弾アーティストとして7/5に待望の7曲入りミニアルバムをリリースする。昨年リリースしたRX-RECORDSのオムニバス「・・・of newtypes」の参加が早くも全国のバイヤーさんの中から問い合わせが殺到する程、単独作を待ち望む声が多かった。何と言ってもバイオリンの存在、そして珠玉のメロディー、そして全員20歳のピッチピチの同級生5人組バンド。yellowcardのような、useless IDのような、とにかくメロディックポップパンクとはBIGMAMAの代名詞だ。ハイスタンダード世代のパンクDNAを見事に吸収して、いわゆるCOPELAND、GET UP KIDS、JIMMY RAT WORLDのようなエモや上記に出ている新世代メロディックパンクバンドなどをこれでもかとブレンドして出来あがったバンドがBIGMAMAなのだ。また、20歳前後の気持ちを代弁したかのように社会や自分自身に対して切なくそしてシニカルに歌詞を書き上げ、推奨曲のM-2のCPXは悲しみのアンドロイドのお話で、みなさん!ぜひ読んでみてほしい。また"日本通"としても知られるSwing Out Sisterのカバー「NOW YOU'RE NOT HERE」(邦題:あなたにいいてほしいドラマ主題歌/TBS系『真昼の月』出演:織田裕二、常磐貴子など)もBIGMAMA流にやってのけた。「1曲1曲を短編映画を観るかのように聴いてほしい(Vo.金井談)」とあるように意欲的に曲ごとに映像が思い浮かぶように「SHORT FILMS」というタイトルをつけた。もちろん、ライブハウスに足を運んでいただき、彼らの等身大のライブを堪能してください。2006年BIGMAMAは必ずや音楽シーンを賑やかにしてくれるに違いない!
