KJ2 Zukkoke Dai Dassō
is the second full-length album released by the Japanese boyband Kanjani Eight. The album was released with three different versions, two limited editions and one regular edition. The regular edition release of the album and both limited edition releases came with a bonus CD featuring the member solos. The limited edition A, however, also came with a DVD movie entitled "Zukkoke Treasure Panic!". Limited Edition B featured a hidden bonus track on the Member Solos disc. Musically, the album is a complete 180 from their previous album. Majority of the songs are of the Funk/Disco genre, notable tracks being "Big Sky Blues", "Speedy Wonder", and the album's title track, " Great Escape ~Dai Dassou~ ". Kanjani Eight do dive right back into their 'enka/kayokyoku' roots with the song, "Futari no Namida Ame", but the rest of the album takes off with generic pop and rock.

Booby Trapped
A booby is a seabird in the genus ''Sula'', part of the family Sulidae. Boobies are closely related to the gannets (''Morus''), which were formerly included in ''Sula''. Systematics and evolution The genus ''Sula'' was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760. The type species is the brown booby. The name is derived from ''súla'', the Old Norse and Icelandic word for the other member of the family Sulidae, the gannet. The English name "booby" was possibly based on the Spanish slang term ''bobo'', meaning "stupid", as these tame birds had a habit of landing on board sailing ships, where they were easily captured and eaten. Owing to this, boobies are often mentioned as having been caught and eaten by shipwrecked sailors, notably William Bligh of the ''Bounty'' and his adherents during their famous voyage after being set adrift by Fletcher Christian and his followers. Six of the ten extant Sulidae species called ''boobies'' are in the genus ''Sula ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
