This ambitious work sees Shigeru Izumiya take on the atmosphere of the 1980s head-on and move towards a more direct and modern sound.
The sharp words and rock impulses of folk music combine with the digital equipment and electric textures of the time, creating a work that, as the title suggests, captures the present.
The arrangements, incorporating synthesizers and programmed sounds, create an urbane profile that is different from the band's previous rough, vocal style. Meanwhile, the lyrics, which delve into social and personal conflicts, remain strong. The refined sound makes the sharp words and message even more vivid.
