[Machine Translation] The song "Nakama (Friends)", which was performed by a comedian in a comedy act, was well received for its catchy melody and sympathetic lyrics, and the group made its major label debut. The second single, "Bad Friends," was produced. The two, who will turn 37 this year, wrote the song as an "eternal parallel friendship song" looking back on a relationship that has continued since their high school days in Kanagawa Prefecture. As the lyrics say in the song, every man has a time in his youth when he could not honestly say that he is his "best friend" even if he could not say it out loud. The song is a tear-jerker that tells the story of their mischievous school days and how they were "bad friends," and ends with a touching tale of friendship. The arrangement was done by rock singer Takuhei Nakajima, and the recording was done by the three men in a friendly atmosphere, as if they were in a club. The relationship between these three men must be that of friends and frenemies.

芸人ながらコントで披露した楽曲「仲間」が 、そのメロディーのキャッチーさ、共感を呼ぶ歌詞で支持を受け、あれよあれよとメジャーデビューした上々軍団。そして第2弾シングルとして、「悪友」が制作された。今年37歳になる二人が、神奈川の県立高校から続いている関係を振り返り"永遠のパラレル友情ソング"として書き上げた。歌詞の中にあるように、男には"口が裂けても アイツのこと "親友"なんて言えるもんか"と素直になれない青春時代が誰しもあるもの。彼らの学生時代のいたずら話をネタに「悪友」ぶりを歌い、最後はグッとくる友情物語に仕上げるという、涙モノの1曲となった。アレンジは前作に続き、ロックシンガー中島卓偉を迎え、男3人で部活動のように和気あいあいとレコーディングを行った 。きっとこの3人の関係性も、仲間であり悪友なのだろう。
