Black: List and exist trace began their European tour with a concert in Finland. JaME, along with other representatives of media related to Japanese music, had the opportunity to interview the two bands.
The girl band with dark and heavy sound appearances gave the interview before the show. Among other things, we could hear their thoughts about the start of the tour and the compilation album to come out soon.
Could each submit to the member who has sat next?
Mally: She is the vocalist, jyou. She is the female vocalist best classified in the Japanese visual kei scene.
Jyou: miko is the guitarist. She met the band and is our leader.
miko: She's the guitarist, Omi. It is very great and plays guitar with a very own style.
Omi: She's the bassist Naoto. He plays bass heavy style but also cares for the other band members.
Naoto: Mally is the drummer. Although it has a strong image, she is as reliable force that supports our band.
You joined Sequence Records. How does it feel to be part of this label?
exist trace: We're at home and comfortable there.
Black: How is being on a joint tour with List?
exist trace: For us, the members of Black: List of pioneers, and we know TOMOZO for a couple of years, so it feels really great to be on tour with them.
Most bands are made by men, but you are all women. How does it feel to be a band composed of women only in this scene dominated by men?
Naoto: It was tough as many bands do not have female members. However, recently began to feel that, precisely because this is a really good thing we are all women.
Can you tell us about his upcoming compilation album?
miko: we were just a little break, so we gather the best and most popular songs we released so far, and add a new song at the end of the album. So this is a collection of everything we create before the break and at the same time a turning point that allows us to begin again.
Do you have any expectation of this European tour?
exist trace: At first we were not sure about going abroad, but yesterday's session of singing, we saw how enthusiastic they were all, and that made us happy too. Now that we have seen such enthusiasm, we are very good and we want to give the best of us.
What started with music?
Miko: I met Naoto at school and we started the band. Then Mally jyou and Omi then got together and started to practice in a rented studio.
Can you leave a message for your fans?
Jyou: Not like all of us knew, but thanks for starting to like our music.
Thanks for the interview!
