• Why did you think about becoming singers?
  

ryo: .I started listening BOOWY for a friend, also to listening to rock, to American artists like as Nirvana or Pearl Jam. So, start getting involved of English band was really an objective. I also used to listen Japanese indie bands. For that time, I had a lot of influence by D’ERLANGER, ZI:KILL, Kuroyume and different artists such as the ones from Extasy Records, L’Arc~en~Ciel and visual kei dawning bands
sono: I like to sing since I was an elementary student. When I went to middle school I started to be influenced by YOSHIKI from X JAPAN and I wanted to become a drummer, but in the band we had already one and since the beginning I always liked to sing
soshi:Since long ago I receive influences and I was yearning to become the singer of a band. The reason was that I wanted to stand on a stage fascinating the crowd

• What is for you “music”, “rock”?
  

ryo: “Yearning”. “Palpitation”
sono:Radiance
soshi:Rhythm

• Memories about “Shinjuku LOFT”, what do you remember about this place?
  

ryo: .I remember had played some time ago in the LOFT after moving. Before 9GOATS BLACK OUT I took part on a event called ‘D’ERLANGER NIGHT’. It was very enjoyable
sono: .I haven’t played in the LOFT yet, some of my friends from a punk band have already played here. Their impression was “this is a very rocker place”. (Lit. 「箱」“box”).
