Since starting their activities in 2010, they have been releasing music consistently despite changes in their members. They have released a number of monumental masterpieces that have been engraved in the history of Japanese pop music since the 2010s, including 'Magic Melody' (2011), 'Disk Utopia' (2015), and 'You Are My Universe' (2018) on labels such as P-Vine Records, Epic, and T-Palette Records.Their true identity is still shrouded in a fascinating veil, except for their voices and main members, and they are the mysterious conscience of Japanese indie music, 'Sayonara Ponytail'. They have been exploring new forms of pop music through their unique online-centered activity style, which is unique to the modern era of social media, while freely combining pop songs, subculture, indie music, the DIY spirit, and current scene trends.'The loneliness of being alone is who we are, now I understand what it means to become an adult.' Thisoriginal album marks the band's 10th release and fully demonstrates the production team's outstanding songwriting and arranging talents, weaving together catchy and adorable pop songs that cross over a wide range of musical styles, including city pop, bedroom music, bossa nova, and indie pop.'Lucia' is a refreshing and euphoric cider pop song with a distant view that recalls the evergreen hits of alternative bands such as Spitz and Galileo Galilei. 'Hoshi no Tabiji' is a nostalgic dream pop song that savors the sadness of Sayoponi's unique pale and blue lyricism wrapped in the cold, clear air of a city night. 'Cruel Boy' is a black contemporary Sayoponi-style love song of anxiety that inherits the heavy groove and funkiness that was shown on their previous album 'Night Incidents' that incorporates elements of city pop and modern funk. 'Furenai Kiseki' is a youthful pastel pop number that is full of intimate and nostalgic charm, such as the refreshing and euphoric cider pop song with a distant view that recalls the evergreen hits of alternative bands such as Spitz and Galileo Galilei. The album is full of a variety of gems of pop songs that are full of intimate and nostalgic charm.The artwork is a catchy original drawing by illustrator Nakamori Kemuri.Track List:A1.
