"Headphone Children" describes the paradox of individuality in our modern society. The world has grown smaller in modern times through international travel and foreign exchange study programs. Yet, as foreign cultures become part of our everyday lives, we isolate ourselves by shutting ourselves in, have mental disorders, and commit abnormal crimes .. Our modern society eschews face-to-face communication in exchange for cell phones and email. The Back Horn members are a world of people engulfing ourselves in headphones or staring blankly at our cell phones. And they are the people that make the music you use to shut out this tempestuous world. This contradiction speaks wonders!! Now you no longer need to wait for the answers, The Back Horn has completed their greatest masterpiece, "Headphone Children."
アルバムタイトル「ヘッドフォンチルドレン」とは、現代社会における個人の確立とその矛盾を表している。世界が狭くなり海外旅行や留学が普通で、異文化が日常に組み入れられている現代だが、引きこもり、精神疾患、異常犯罪・・・、携帯やメールを使ったフェイス・トゥ・フェイスのコミュニケーションに欠けた生活もまた現代社会の特徴。ヘッドフォンに身を包んだ人や携帯を見つめるだけの人。いみじくもその外界をシャットアウトするヘッドフォンから流れる音楽を作っている自分達。そんな矛盾にモノ申す!! もはや論をまたぬ、ザ・バックホーンの最高傑作がここに完成!!
