March No Hako

[Machine Translation] I want my money! You're my friend! The song by Shota Ido, which begins with such shocking lyrics, is filled with the emotional pain of today's youth. Although they are called the "Yutori-generation," their lives are anything but leisurely. Not all young people are like that, but many of them are struggling to survive day by day in today's Japan. Shota Ido sings about the current situation of these young people, including himself, with a single guitar, and his live performances attract young people with the same problems, as if they were projecting their own life-size selves onto him. Not all people can get along in the world. There are those who cannot successfully walk the inevitable paths of work, love, play, and life. The cries of Shota Ido's heart are linked to those of the audience. This album is a commemorative one in which he asks questions to the modern society and takes a step forward.

お金をくれよ!俺の友達なんだろ!」そんな衝撃的な歌詞で始まる井戸正太の楽曲には、今を生きる若者の心の痛みが詰まっている。ゆとり世代と呼ばれながらも、その生活には決してゆとりはない。全ての若者がそうとは言い切れないが、現在の日本では、その多くが日々生きていくため、もがき苦しんでいる。井戸正太自身も含めた、そんな若者の現状を包み隠さずギター一本で歌い続ける彼のライブには、等身大の自分を投影するかのように、同じ悩みを抱えた若者たちが集まってくる。全ての人間がうまく世の中を渡って行けるわけではない。仕事、恋愛、遊び、人が生きていく上で避けては通れない道をうまく歩けない奴らもいる。井戸正太の心の叫びはオーディエンスたちの心の叫びとリンクする。本作はそんな彼が現代社会へ問いかけ、そして一歩踏み出した記念すべき一枚。
