(The definition of the word “Hentai” used here, is crazy and overwhelming passion for what you like, having the pleasure to be unique, to be able to move forward without hesitation to what no one can or have done yet)

In retrospect, the youngest Sugaya who was an early elementary school child, and the others were kids. Now they are adults already.

Such girls are exactly “Otona nanoyo!”.

Including all of you, stuff, me, Berryz members and maybe their parents might have been pushed by others the ideal vision of what to do, who to hang out with, who to marry, etc.

However, by the time I turned 20, I remember I had a feeling of “leave me alone!” no matter what anyone said.

I made the song of that kind of moment.

I shaped the backtrack beat into harder minor scale, so that Berryz can dance sexy and hard.
There’s a lot of sense of fun in the base line, It is also finished in stylish and rhythmical.

“1 Oku 3 Zenman sou Diet Oukoku”

It is said that Japanese are crazy about dieting. Even girls who are already skinny want to lose their weight, wanna be beautiful more. Almost all Japanese girls are interested in, and have an obsession with dieting. I think that’s due to the influence of TV and the mass media.

However, that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone always on a diet, or it doesn’t such matter.
But something like, “well, I’ll start dieting from tomorrow!” or “It’s about time to lose my weight”, and “Is my dad overweight?” are the day to day thoughts everyone has.

I composed the song with such universal theme.

Actually, even I am always thinking I want to lose 2kg more than now.

Musically speaking, maybe it can be said “Hentai EDM”.
Indescribable loop dominates the song.
It may be one of those “love it or hate it” songs. I think that is good.
It is one of the best parts of Berryz Kobo to be able to sing a thrilling song like this.

Both songs have unique personalities, please have fun!
