1曲目、「金八 DANCE MUSIC」からの怒涛の勢いはこの4曲目で極まります。自分たちのライブを学芸会と呼んできたエビ中にとって、この曲は彼女たち自身のテーマソングではないかと思ってしまいます。
The great momentum, which was developed through the first track ‘Kinpachi DANCE MUSIC’, reached its height in this 4th track ‘King of Gakugeikai no Theme ～Nu Skool Teenage Riot～’. Ebichu has continued calling their concert Gakugeikai (Performance Day), and this song seems like the theme song for themselves.

学校とアイドルの相性の良さは、フィンガー５の「学園天国」以来、様々な曲で証明されてきています。エビ中のこの曲の始まり方は、SMAPの２ndシングル「正義の味方はあてにならない」の出だし、「起立！礼！着陸！」を彷彿とさせます。思わず笑顔になるし、つい口に出して言いたくなります。
It has been proved that things about school are quite familiar to the lyrics of idol songs since the song “Gakuen Tengoku” by Finger 5 was released. The beginning of the lyrics of this song “King of Gakugeikai no Theme ～Nu Skool Teenage Riot～”somehow reminds me of the first few words of Smap’s second single called ‘Seigi no Mikata wa Ateni Naranai’, and the words are “Stand up! Bow! Land on the ground!”. Those words make me smile, and I come to feel like uttering them without thinking.
それにしても、全国民を中学生扱いする、この大胆でユーモアあふれる発想はどうでしょう。自分の学年を考えると気が遠くなりますが、この曲を聴いていると、どうしても学芸会に参加したくなってきます。先日、ついにブラックタイガー（エビ中のファンクラブの名称）会員証が届きました。超高学年の中学生として、自覚が高まっています。校章の方はちょっとデカすぎて付けようか迷っています。
By the way, I was impressed by the bold, humorous idea that they can regard all the people as junior high students. When I think of what grade I am in junior high, I almost feel dizzy. Even so, I feel like going to their performance day when I listen to this song. My membership card was sent to me from Black Tiger, the name of Ebichu’s fan club, the other day. I’m now highly conscious of being a ultraupper grade student in junior high school. However, the school badge is so big that I'm hesitating to put it on.
