[Machine Translation] Jax once sang, "I'm going to find me in the mirror," and the Mirrorballs cut through the mirror world with a knife of words. Not yet! Use your kicks! Use your eyes! The voice of the singer is so ephemeral and apocalyptic that it could be described as the "Morita Doji of the 21st century" (according to Go Yoshida). A funeral song of despair from Nagoya, the unexplored region of the Japanese underworld, to the socially maladjusted who inhabit the dark side of the world. The jet-black melody, which could be called a "cursed lullaby," will shoot through the Far Eastern island nation that produces more than 30,000 suicides a year! The name is Mirrorballs.

After miraculously recovering from a desperate depression, the band began recording the haunting songs that had been created during that time, and after a bloody, midnight-long process, their second album "Genesis" was completed. The surreal, empty, lonely, and desperate worldview, the violence in the silence, has reached a critical point that should be called astonishing. Let me introduce a part of a desperate cry. I bite into a bar of chocolate nuts, and I just want to die and laugh" ( M-1: Jimmy ) "With one chocolate bar, she'll live 38 hours, marbling with water and oil... I can't sleep, there's a secret party tonight. I don't know why, I don't know why, I'm being pushed back into the bottomless mire I don't know why" ( M-10: 38 Hours ) "I drank the poisoned water, I drank the poisoned water... the sun in my palm, red, red, red stripes, she cried in the wall, I just cried a little" ( M-5: Poisoned Water ) "Drink the poisoned water called Millerballs.
