''Big Body'' (stylized as ''big body'') is the ninth studio album by P-Model and the second & last by the band's "Defrosted" lineup. ==Overview== The album has the same techno style as the band's self-titled album, holding a dual relationship between them (similar to the one between ''In A Model Room'' and ''Landsale''). The energetic new wave numbers are toned down, with a larger melodic variety, layered somewhat like Susumu Hirasawa's solo work, in place. ''Big Body'' is a concept album based on science fiction stories. It tells a story where the human race was transformed into a species named "Homo Gestalt" by computer networks, having a "Journey Through Your Body" theme. The album's artwork revolves around a CG model of an orange male figure with a wire grid pattern overlaid atop its body; Hirasawa reused this model, without the pattern, on later solo videos. Satoshi Kon referenced the album twice: A copy of the album appears as a background object by a CD player on the first chapter of the manga ''OPUS'', and a pizza box with the album's title appears on the film ''Perfect Blue''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】)">url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=192&page=22 )〕 In a chapter of the manga ''The Sorrow of a Perfectly Healthy Girl'', a poster of the album's cover can be seen on a wall. P-Model appears wearing all black costumes with a colored geometrical shape in their chests: Hirasawa a yellow square, Akiyama a red circle, Kotobuki a pink triangle, Fujii a blue rhombus; Hirasawa's and Fujii's are at the center of their chests, while Akiyama's and Kotobuki's are to their left of the center. The band first used the costumes on the December 1992 Nōritsu no Yokan tour and later on the May–June 1993 Big Body Tour. ''The Sorrow of a Perfectly Healthy Girl'' protagonist Hiroe Ogawa wears Hirasawa's costume on a chapter of the manga. The front cover has the inscription "Nsetn.... Oirao Ivook", which, when read from the lower right to upper left vertically, means "kono ato revisION...". Seven months after the album's release, the show was performed on 11 October at the Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall (released on the ''Pause'' album), and P-Model was placed into a period of inactivity, with the "Defrosted" lineup's members splitting and continuing their projects outside of the band. The group was sustained by small-scale releases through the SYUN label until its return in 1 December 1994 with a "Revised" lineup. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Big Body (P-Model album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
