B=PASS - July 2011 - Special Q & A

Wanting to know even more about the 5, we threw various questions at them. From the Single “VORTEX” and miscellany related to music to their ‘my boom’, a close-up of them at present!

AOI

Q1. What would be the catchphrase you’d give to “VORTEX”?

A1. I want to touch the limits of my strength. A song of supremacy sent to you.

Q2. “UNCERTAIN SENSE”. Which part would you say has the main point of the song?

A2. Hn~, the song was made with the intention of having it worth listening to in its entirety, but if I were to point out a strong part it would be……the whole song?

Q3. “BREAK ME”. Recently, what made you think “BREAK ME”?

A3. Nothing really (laughs). If I had to, I’d say the thing about wanting to do things in a disorderly, messy way.

Q4. What is your favourite album or musician these days?

A4. There are too many of them…… . I can’t speak of a point of view about anything except the GazettE (laughs).

Q5. What has been on your mind these days?

A5. Organizing the postponed tour [Abyss][Lucy], and wondering if I’ll be able to perform properly again~, things like that.

Q6. Lyrics, melody, phrases and arrangements. When do these occur to you the most?

A6. Lots of times in the Ofuro. Particularly while shampooing. If I tried to put proper effort into thinking about those it would surely speak of a bad personality.

Q7. I’m sorry but it was a promise (!?), please tell us about your ‘my boom’.

A7. I didn’t make any such promise! I don’t know if it could be called ‘my boom’ but since we’re busy with production work these days, I’m in a state where I just can’t do without shochu.

Q8. Please tell us if there has been a book, a manga or a movie you found interesting.

A8. “SIDOOH – shidou” “Kuroshitsuji II”

Q9. How would you express your character in a word?

A9. I’m original, so I simply cannot give myself a character. But if I were to push myself, I’d say Sebastian from “Kuroshitsuji II” is someone who really does his best. Ah, this is a joke right?

Q10. Live band – the GazettE. Please tell us about the ideal Live situation for you.

A10. Hn~, this is tough. I want to perform at a beach, and I want to perform abroad too. I also want to appear in big summer festivals…… Well that’s how it is.
