A straightforward rock 'n' roll album that captures the energy and momentum that Eikichi Yazawa exudes.
While absorbing the influence of 80s American rock, the song exquisitely blends Yazawa's signature passionate melodies with a singing style that could be said to be the standard for Japanese rock.
As the title suggests, the album is free of unnecessary embellishments and is purely rock, with a wild and tough beat, sharp guitar, and Yazawa's soulful vocals all coming together to create a vibrant album.
