(The interviewer couldn’t recognize the voice of the members so there’s no names in front of the answers, sorry in that matter.)

- How did you meet ?

At the beginning we were two, we met in a club when we had a decade (Shindy and Takuma). These two met in a bar (Kiyozumi and Masatoshi) and the last one (Yo-1) was found when he was searching a cat at the edge of a river (laugh)

- You already came in France once, what do you remember about this country and do you have a particular attachment to it ?

In France, the weather changes often, it can rain all of a sudden, but when the sky is cloudy and that it clears it is very wonderful.When we came the last time, we directly went in Paris and we ate in a restaurant. When we went again in front of the same restaurant, it reminded us good memories. Each time we are touring in France or in Europe, it begins by Paris !For the first time this year, we went into the subway. Shindy has tried to imitate a pickpocket on Yo-1 who were very afraid and it made us all laugh.The Moulin Rouge ! Actually, next to the hotel we were in, there was a lot of lights and we were wondering what was it. We discovered then that it was the Moulin Rouge.

- Who is the leader, who takes the decisions ?

Since everybody gives his opinion, we votes at the end. Or else, this is the eldest who have the last word.Regarding the decisions, it depends on what kind of decision we have to take. For example, for the music arrangments, there is someone who is more spontaneous, for something about the band it will be another person, for example for ordering alcohol it will be another person too (laugh), etc…

- What are your artistic references and your favorite singers who musically influenced you ? Out of Japan likewise.

X Japan, hide, L’Arc en Ciel, Marylin Manson, Muse.

- You are a visual kei band. Who takes care about the visual part of the band ? Do you have another person who takes care about it or do you personnaly take care of this part ?

This is mainly Shindy who decides but if there are negative reactions from the others, everybody decides more or less. For the suits it was during a talk with the director of the band.

- Can you say some words in French ?

Vous vous amusez, je m’appelle Shindy, ça va ? c’est quoi ? Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq… (Do you enjoy, my name is Shindy, how are you ? What is it ? One, two, three, four, five)

- What is the song you enjoy the most to play ? Do you have a favorite song among yours ?

Rondo, Snow Venus and Labyrinth.

- You came often in France, mostly in Paris. Did you have the opportunity to visit a bit, where did you go and what do you remember the most ? What did you prefered ?

We traveled a lot, we went to Lyon, Maresille, Rennes, Montélimar, Clermont Ferrand, Bordeaux, Rouen. Our favorite cities are Rennes, Clermont Ferrand and Marseille because there is a dangerous side. (laugh)

- What are your next projects, other than the music ? Do you have a message for your fans ?

We don’t really have other projects than the music for now, but I would like to do Batman with the others ! (laugh)

People have waited for us during two years, we are very happy that the fans waited for us and we are proud to show that there is an evolution compared with our debuts. Come all to our concerts.

A big thank to the band and to their staff for granted us this short interview out of the Japan Expo schedule.Interview by Boris Bonnetin & Cha-chan Hyu.
