[Machine Translation] PIGGY BANKS, consisting of vocalist yoko and guitarist keme, released their third EP after an 8-year absence. They have participated in various live performances and events, and have appeared at major festivals such as "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL", "RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL", and "THE SOLAR BUDOKAN", where their high level of live performance backed by their career has been well received. The album opens with "Bird Missile," an instrumental number with a strong guitar sound, and "Shark Shark" and "THE HACCI," which were released in 2024 as a distributed album, are included as new album versions. The album also includes "GALAXY", which has been performed live in the past and has been eagerly awaited for release, as well as new songs "Lullaby" and "Panther", which were newly written. The jacket illustration is by Midori Nakajima, an illustrator who has provided illustrations for various magazines, books, advertisements, and apparel brands, and whose work depicts a sweet, sad, and surrealistic world. The girly and pop artwork and the new sound of PIGGY BANKS are fused together to create a single album that is the culmination of their efforts.
