UNLIMITED VELOCITY

[Machine Translation] This album, titled "UNLIMITED VELOCITY", is the result of SHIBA-YANKEE's own experience with the fast-talking Jamaican singer PAPA SAN, who gave him goosebumps and took over the microphone. This is the definitive version of DEE-JAY's fast-talking Japanese style that he has been pursuing since his debut. The lyrics are carefully chosen from a wide variety of topics, and the rhyming and unique original flow (singing style) are fluently intertwined with tracks produced by famous track makers. The content of the album is diverse, including social, love, murder, and dance hall jokes, as well as the usual suspects, such as "Monster Panic," about a dance party for monsters, and "Son-in-law Blues," about the lonely hardships of an adopted son-in-law. The book is aimed at a wide range of audiences, from elementary school students to grandparents! The album is aimed at a wide range of audiences, from elementary school students at the lower end of the spectrum to grandparents at the upper end. The album is carefully selected and you will never get tired of listening to the ups and downs, the joys, sorrows, and pleasures in each song. The high-speed limein' that surpasses the previous album "BUFFALO EXPRESS" becomes "UNLIMITED VELOCITY" and accelerates even further. This is the culmination of 16 years of SHIBA-YANKEE's career, a career that never stops and never knows when to stop. The best song on the album is the 15th track, "POSITIVE INTENTION. This is a positive song for young people who are searching for their lives in today's society, where people tend to lose sight of their dreams and hopes. The track is by STEPEN " DI GENIUS " McGREGOR, a genius track maker who is the pride of Jamaica and is now attracting attention from all over the world. The track he is pushing is the 12th track, "SINGLE-MINDED". It is a confession of love between two people who have been separated by long distances for many years, but after a lapse of time, they decide to take the next step forward. This is a refreshingly pure love song, with a remake of the Jamaican track "ONE TO ONE" by Kazuya Masamura of ALPS BAND, which expresses their single-mindedness.
