[Machine Translation] I'm sorry for being so clumsy! I want to go around apologizing to all kinds of people for being such clumsy people. It was in March 2012 that paionia burst onto the scene with their shocking masterpiece "Honesty," a song that cries out in the end of a blue conflict and self-questioning (I want to sing an honest song) that only an active university student could have imagined. However, despite our excitement and anticipation, they soon entered a long period of hesitation. Oze Matsushima (drums & chorus) became a support member due to employment, and for a while they played shows with a different drummer, only to return as an official member. When the three of us tried to move forward again, there was a time when we felt lost musically due to a lack of confidence, and we were not able to deliver what we wanted to say at the right moment at a live show, causing the audience to be turned off. I even feared that the title of their first mini-album, "Sayonara Pioneer," would become a joke. I was even afraid that the title of their first mini-album, "Sayonara Pioneer," would become a joke. However, they have been moving forward little by little, struggling clumsily, and it is precisely because of this that they were able to create this new eight-song album, "rutsubo. The album opens with "boredom," a session number that shows paionia's dynamism as a three-piece band and their pride as a rock band. (After "paionia in Rutsubo," which lightly plays the major theme of "We don't know what's going on, but we have to fight to tell the truth today," "Stage" reveals the reality of being in the midst of a dream of becoming a musician after graduating from college. In "paionia in Rutsubo", he spit out the reality of his dream of becoming a musician after graduating from college. The album also includes "Tokyo," one of paionia's most popular songs, which has been performed live for many years. Although there are many great songs with the title "Tokyo," the band experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake in their hometown of Fukushima, and wrote this song in the midst of their life back in Tokyo, feeling the shock, disappointment, and disappointment that had overturned their entire life up to that point. The songs "Natural Born Lover," in which they repeat "I want to be born from you, I want to be born from you, I want to be born from you," are innocent and charming, and "Girls," with its lyrics that are tongue-in-cheek but cheerful chorus work, are among the new attractions of this album. Incidentally, the songwriter Yusei Takahashi (guitar & vocals) is a bit of a pain in the ass.
