[xiangyu comments]
Until I was taught by contemporary artist Mitsuoka Koichi, I never knew that the last one leftover food at a drinking party was named. It was interesting to describe this as a “pack of shyness” and the “scene” itself, which was very Japanese-style phenomenon, so I wanted to create an album with this theme. I think that a bunch of shyness is not something that is consciously created, but rather a way that unconsciously accumulates under the surface, just as ore is formed in the ground over a long period of time.
It’s not good or bad, but even if the time has passed, everyone has passed their eating habits, and when they think about how each person faces the last one, they are filled with each individual’s unconscious emotions, so I feel so loving and loving. Japanese people are sometimes described as being modest and reluctant, but I think I like the national character that doesn’t try to make everything clear, is said to be good for gray things, and is unable (and does not express) their opinions clearly.
With the release saying, “Shan Yu has a lot of food songs,” it has become another food-related work, but the debut song is also “Puh Pampong Curry,” so I think it might be good. Because it’s NO FOOD NO LIFE. Food is kind of good. This is a silly food album that you can squeal with all your might. I would be happy if you enjoyed it!
Finally, many people have been supported in creating this album. Nanao Tabito and Kuro were featured guests. Gimgigam, who produced ALL Sound, and engineer Mukai Keisuke. And Mitsuoka Koichi gave me the inspiration for creating this album. The people sitting next to me and around me have been observed at various restaurants, including family restaurants, izakayas, and cafes. Thank you very much to everyone!

An album with the theme of reluctance has been completed!
Each song has its own unique character, storytelling, and a wide variety of albums, making it a very listenable album! The collaboration song “Peace of Cake” with Nanao Tabito is guided by Tabito’s singing voice, and the collaboration is explosive and unprecedented mood has been created. In the collaboration song “Uchuu”, Kuro’s psychedelic chorus work and xiangyu’s good rap create a chemical reaction, causing the collaboration to explode. “Mottainai Ghost” is released on the album, and is a dance music that is enjoyable with fast beats and effective vocals.
The title song, “Hello Katamari,” has changed one after another, and there are many tricks to it, making it a lively anthem. I began to actively eat the last remaining one during the production of this album.
[Takeda Yuyuma Comment]
When I first spotted a dinosaur on a location scouting session, I thought there was no one other than Shan Yu that suited me.
I really love the face of the “Gathering of Restraint” when excavated from the ruins.
When the filming ended, Shan Yu’s “dance of joy” was so good that I wanted to take another shot right away.
[Comment by Mitsuoka Koichi]
When we had a large group of people, I had always used photographs of foods that were left behind on the edge of a plate, such as gyoza and fried chicken, which were left over from the edge of a plate, and occasionally showed them to others, and among them, the overwhelming response was xiangyu.
I think there are occasional people who find things that many people don’t care about, but xiangyu is not just about it, but she is a very rare person who puts huge amounts of energy and enthusiasm into works, and I am very happy to be able to create things together with such people.
