Shitappa

[Machine Translation] MIKARIKA, a hip-hop unit of twin sisters, debuted last November with their first single "FUNKY OL ~I don't want to work~. At the time of their debut, MIKARIKA was an office worker at a major company, but she left her job to pursue her own career. The second single released by this ex-salaried unit is "Lowly"! MIKA and RIKA, both former office workers, are singing about their experiences as low-level employees at their company, and their current situation as artists, who are still at the bottom of the heap! They are singing from the fact that they are still at the bottom of the ladder as artists, and that they are still at the bottom! It is, so to speak, a cheering song for people living in society. The lyrics were written by Potemkin of the Hungry Demon Rangers, who has been in charge of the lyrics since the first single, and his clever lyrics, which are representative of the J-RAP world, are intense and have a great sense of humor. Composed by ROMANTIC PRODUCTION led by DJ-S.A.L., SUGAMESJAPON, a pianist active in immigrants bossa band, and KATOKUNNLEE, who has joined the project from this time. Their Japanese disco sound is melodious and innovative. The carefully calculated, royal road funky track is accompanied by MIKARIKA's exhilarating rap with her soft voice, which is in contrast to the spiky lyrics, and their unique interaction and chorus. The weird choreography they show in their live performances also adds to their unique worldview. The coupling song is also excellent! The lyrics of this summer song are written by the hot lyricist, Ameatsu, who conveys a straightforward message in a "loose and fluffy" way, and the funky lyrics are exhilaratingly sung over a cheerful Latin hip-hop rhythm! Includes "1.2.Sancho" and 4 other songs. The second single "Shimotsubata" is a destructive single that is sure to stir up public interest. It is sure to stir up excitement in the world. The "Shitabata" will be playing this summer! <Song introduction>Gettin' Down / lyrics by Potemkin (FAT GIRLS' RANGER) - FUNKY GETTIN' DOWN SONG! 1.2. Sancho / lyrics by Rain Summer - Feel the southern wind. A cheerful Latin hip-hop summer song! Tangoku Shuka~ / Lyrics by Nobuo Takaya - Manly coolness. Cool midsummer EDM tune! Hoshino Furu Machi / lyrics by VELENTino - Reminiscent of a moist night sky. Emotional tone is heartwarming. A JAZZY tune. Produced and composed by ROMANTIC
