[Machine Translation] There are 12 taken-for-granted stories here. Stories of glory and setbacks, tears, laughter, and inspiration. Yet, all of them are non-fiction and all of them are real. If everyone calls it "Seishun Punk", we are the representatives of Seishun Punk! Following the mini album "Walking Around" released in February this year and the 6th double A-sided single "Akimemacha/ Lost" released in November, the long-awaited 4th full album is the third release on the band's own label! The album features 12 of their best ever human anthems, including not only their masterpieces "Akimacha" and "Lost in Time," but also "Sanji," which has caused a sensation at their live performances, Mas's classic "We Are What We Are" and "Furusato," which is their first attempt at an enka song, but still finds themselves in the full force of the Mas verse! Formed in 2000, the band has painfully gut-wrenching lyrics that stick to the Japanese language, soulful songs with miraculous voices with a curling tongue, and a thick sound that incorporates a keyboard. Although non-promotional, their famous songs "Kyokusho" and "Nakama no Uta" have become a household name, only getting requests on the airwaves. Their overwhelming live performances, which exceed 100 shows a year, have made their name known in the indie music scene only by word of mouth. In 2004, they made their major label debut with the ending theme song "Karekata nando ito" for the popular anime "NARUTO. In 2004, they made their major label debut with the ending theme song for the popular anime "Naruto". Last year, three members left the band after the legendary O-EAST live concert that attracted 1,000 people. The band welcomed new members and sold 300 tickets in one hour at their one-man live show. After that, they continued their one-man tour, and have already produced their third album, including this one, on their own label. A solo live performance at Shibuya's Quattro is scheduled for January 24, 2009 as the final show of the tour.

この中には12の当たり前がある。栄光と挫折、涙と笑い、感動の物語。それでもその全てはノンフィクションであり全てがリアル。それを皆が「青春パンク」と呼ぶなら、俺達が青春パンク代表だ!今年2月にミニアルバム「歩きまくり」、11月の6th.両A面シングル「あきらめちゃ/迷いながら」に早くも続く自主レーベル第3弾は待望の4th.フルアルバム!名作「あきらめちゃ」「迷いながら」は勿論、ライブで反響を巻き起こす「三文字」、マスの王道「僕らは僕らなりの僕らでいよう」、歌謡演歌に初挑戦、それでも気がつけばマス節全開「ふるさと」等などを含む、過去最高傑作の人間賛歌12曲!2000年結成。あくまで日本語にこだわった痛いほどに胸をえぐる歌詞と、巻き舌がかった奇跡の声を持つ魂の唄、key.を取り入れた分厚いサウンド。ノンプロモーションながら、有線のリクエストのみで名曲「教科書」「仲間のうた」が1人歩き。さらには年間100本を越える圧倒的ライブパフォーマンスが口コミだけでインディーズシーンにその名を轟かせる。「人間の当たり前」をこれでもかと熱く唄うその歌詞は、ロックシーンに類まれなる幅広い年齢層にから支持される。2004年人気アニメ「NARUTO」のエンディングテーマ「今まで何度も」でメジャー進出。その名は不動となる。昨年1000人を集客した伝説のO-EASTライブを機にメンバー3人が脱退。新しいメンバーを迎え入れて再発射ワンマンライブは1時間で300枚即売。その後もワンマンツアーをこなし、自主レーベルを立ち上げての音源制作では、今作品を含め早くも3作目。その勢いはとどまることを知らない。2009年1月24日ツアーファイナルでは渋谷のクアトロでのワンマンライブが決まっている。
