Kaiyuki - Round About -

[Machine Translation] Two years after their debut, "KIDS" continues to increase the number of people attending their live performances, and in order to grow even further, they have created their first full-length album, focusing more than ever on the perfection of their songs. In addition to the growth in lyrics that has been nurtured by working with producer Junji Iwashitari on the previous album, this time they have brought in Akimitsu Honma, who has worked with Porno Graffitti, Ikimono-gakari and JUJU, to create a more impressive world in terms of melody and sound. Up-and-coming sound maker Dewayo Shiaki and others also participated in the project, making this album more focused on "music" than ever before. The jacket is a unique and memorable illustration drawn by King Kong Nishino.

デビューして2年、ライブでの動員数を増やし続けている"KIDS"が、さらに成長していくために今まで以上に楽曲の完成度にこだわった作品作りを行った初のフルアルバム。前作のプロデューサー いしわたり淳治氏との制作作業によって培われた作詞の面での成長に加えて今回は、メロディやサウンド面でより印象的な世界を作りこむために、ポルノグラフィティやいきものがかり、JUJUを手がけている本間昭光氏を迎えた。新進気鋭のサウンドメーカー・デワヨシアキ氏なども参加し、今まで以上に"楽曲"にこだわった作品。ジャケットは、キングコング西野氏が描きおろした、かなり個性的で印象に残るイラスト。
