[Machine Translation] The album is the 10th album by Michihiro Kuroda, "Grumpy Diamonds," and features 10 songs, including "VIKING77," "Gekijo," "CANNONBALL," "Geraci yo, Sekai wo Kaiten! and a variety of other 10 songs. This is a long-awaited album that includes songs that have already been performed live and made into sound recordings. Kuroda, who is known for his ballads, says, "I made this album the way I wanted to make it," but there are only a few ballads.

This is one of those songs that are so out of the ordinary. The title "grumpy" is apparently derived from the fact that "many of the songs are fun, but many of them were written from a grumpy point of view, with a lot of complaining. Grumpy looking sparkling diamonds. The title is also good for a chuckle.
