No Fun's third album, first sold at "Night Hiking," an outdoor festival held under the burning sun at a DIY campground in 2025.
Recorded live at studio nostos in Mie Prefecture with all 11 members playing at once, the album captures a sound brimming with a sense of unity.
M-1 "Shima wo Oku (Set an island)" opens the record, racing forward with a faint air of loneliness. M-2 "Enten-ka (Under the burning sun)" follows, its main theme swelling into a massive unison blaze. Then M-3 "November" tears past, wrapped in a poolside shimmer. "Sayonara mo Dekizu ni (Goodbye never came)" and "Yae Ballad" bring out the full strength of No Fun's songs, and the album closes with the band re-recording one of their own songs in another language, joined by two French friends on guest vocals.
A collection of summer songs with the dichroic sheen of blue and red.
No Fun was formed in 2020, centered on vocalist/guitarist Shu Uchida, just as its predecessor band Piano Girl went on hiatus. Together with then-guitarist NJ and original bassist Takuya Nagatomo, the three-piece became the earliest incarnation of No Fun. Guided by the band's concepts of "diversity" and "physical music," members joined one after another, and No Fun is now an eleven-piece: guitar, bass, drums, two percussionists, violin, flute, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, and piano. Their orchestral punk - the roots of every member fused into one and played out on a spectacular scale - carries a presence all its own. Since its earliest days, the band has continued to run "Fujisō," its own event rooted in the local Kyoto scene. It also works across a broad and flexible range of formats, from acoustic sets to club-event appearances and duo performances.
