interview about alice nine

Where did the inspiration for your band name come from?

Shou: The 'alice' part of our name we just thought looked and sounded cool; very visual-kei. We write the 'nine' in a Japanese character though, in kanji, to show our roots and our pride as a Japanese band.

What can you tell us about the band formation?

Shou: Tora and I had been in a band together previously. At that time, Nao and Saga were also looking for band members so we were naturally drawn to one another. Shortly after that, we saw Hiroto at a show with his band. We all thought he was really cool and would fit in perfectly with the band.

Then you mostly knew each other previously?

Shou: We knew of each other, but we weren't really friends until alice nine..

What prompted you to begin in the visual-kei scene?

Tora: I really like metal and that kind of music, and I felt that the visual-kei scene was the closest to that spirit.

Hiroto: I really admire hide of X-Japan, so it was natural for me to go into visual-kei.

Shou: My idols were also in visual-kei; I love Luna Sea.

Saga: Luna Sea, the same as Shou.

Nao: I had friends already involved in the scene, so it was only natural for me to end up in it as well.

When it comes to composing and creating your songs, is the music or the lyrics written first?

Shou: The music is written first.

Have you ever been surprised by the lyrics that Shou creates to match the music?

Hiroto: I'm always surprised, but it can go two different ways. Sometimes, the imagery that I have in my mind when I'm writing.... Shou'll create lyrics that match it so perfectly! It's a little scary (laughs). Other times though, he goes in a completely different direction from what I expected and I'll be really shocked. But it's always a good surprise, no matter which way it goes.

What can you tell us about your newest single, WHITE PRAYER?

Shou: It's about being together as well as a play on words. When the lights, the spotlights, all come together on stage, they become white. 'Prayer' brings 'purity' to mind, just like 'white' does.

As the lyricist for the band, is it ever difficult to come up with the right words to express yourself or your ideas?

Shou: It depends. If I'm inspired by something else, like a movie or a book, it's okay. When it has to do with my life though, my own heart and feelings, it's much more difficult.

You've also used quite a bit of English in some of your songs, such as Q and Dead School Screaming. How do you decide which parts to put in English and which to put in Japanese?

Shou: I go by the overall feel of the song and whichever language calls to me.

Your fans tend to do a lot of coordinated hand motions in Japan while fans in America and many other countries, tend to be much more individualistic with their actions at concerts. What do you think of this difference in culture?

Tora: We haven't played here in America yet, so we're not sure how it'll be.

Shou: Everyone feels music differently, so everyone reacts differently.

Please give a message to your many fans.

Tora: Even though there's some differences in language and culture, we're really happy to be here.

Hiroto : (nods) I feel exactly the same; I'm so glad to be here.

Shou: I'm so happy and excited to finally see some of our American fans.

Saga: I am too; we're all really happy to be playing overseas.

Nao: (thinks for a moment) ..... (in English) Do you love me?

(laughter)

Thank-you very much for your time.

"Nao: (thinks for a moment) ..... (in English) Do you love me?"

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! Nao....I LOVE YOU!!

Oops I meant beat jealkb at soccer, because alice nine. is a lot cooler, lol.

[IsHiHaRa 0]

in that soccer game the score is tie isnt it?

and alice nine doesnt talk to much in that video

[Spike760 16]

Well at the end of the 2nd video it was 2 - 1 jealkb, but I dont' know if there's a next part or not. It seems like there should've been, but there were only two links posted.

[IsHiHaRa 0]

darkyuki>>hahaha...

of course

i love all alice nine members

but i love TORA the most

its just that NAO ask about that...

so...i just say that

Spike760>> eh?

i though the score is tie...

well, where i see that video?!

wait... search it first!

[Spike760 16]

The second part ended with jealkb at 2 and alice nine. at 1, but there's probably a 3rd part, it's all right it wasn't that exciting, lol

[Shioin Emoto 2]

gotta love those ehem-hem FAKEinjuries during their soccer play... haha

[darkyuki 0]

lol.

XD

im gonna watch it again

[IsHiHaRa 0]

hiks...

i cannot find the other link...

forgot where get it!

but the video its much about jealkb than alice nine!

want to see them more!

well, its SAGA b'day isnt it?

HAPPY B'DAY SAGA!!!!

[Prism 8]

but the video its much about jealkb than alice nine!

want to see them more!

I'd say it's more about jealkb because it's supposed to be funny. The jealkb guys are all Japanese comedians, you know. It's natural that they'd focus more on them for the comedy.

Not that I don't want alice nine. to win. On the contrary, I do. I want to see how jealkb would react to it.

[IsHiHaRa 0]

so the jealkb are commedians?

i always though they are a member of a band...

[Prism 8]

They are all comedians, who all had an interest in visual kei and stuff, and decided to form a band together. Their music isn't silly or anything though, it's actually really serious sounding and actually pretty awesome. I was quite shocked at first at how good they were actually. I was in love with the song Metronome for ages.

But anyway, back to Arisu. I'm gonna look for that 3rd part.

[Spike760 16]

Oh I didn't know all the members of jealkb were comedians, I read the vocalist was though, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I only have the album, "ROSES" by them, but "Metronome" was my favorite, I don't really remember the rest of the tracks, but they did sound decent for not being musicians before-hand.

[darkyuki 0]

yay !

belated happy birthday to saga-sama !

woooh.
