However,Ā LIP CREAMĀ The band incorporated American hardcore into their sound, and created a uniquely Japanese-hardcore niche that was still unfamiliar to most Japanese listeners at the time.Ā KILL UGLY POPĀ marks the era ofĀ LIP CREAMĀ that presented a new genre style that has since evolved uniquely in Japan. For this Relapse release,Ā KILL UGLY POPĀ features digitally remastered audio, preserving the band’s raw intensity.

The lyrics, which were written by vocalist JhaJha, blend Japanese and English in a remixed rhythm and word choice, and are masterfully crafted. Tracks like ā€˜GIVE US THE TRUTH’, ā€˜FOR MY LIFE’, and the album titleĀ KILL UGLY POPĀ showcase JhaJha's exceptional talent as a lyricist. For this Relapse release, the lyric sheet has been fully reprinted with English translations.Ā 

The artwork features lavish and playful elements. The design, a collaboration between photographer Jin Sato and painter Yasuo Yagi remains innovative, redefining the traditional image of hardcore/punk at the time.
