Ang Alice Nine ay isang Japanese rock band na kamakailan lang ay nagtanghal sa Sundown Festival sa Singapore noong Disyembre 1 2012. Ang mga miyembro ng banda ay sina Shou(singer), Tora(guitars), Hiroto(guitars), Saga(bassist), at Nao(drummer). Noong October, tumugtog din sila sa Jakarta kasama ang MUCC at UNiTE para sa event ng JROCK EVOLUTION. Dahil sa maraming tagahanga ang Alice Nine mula Indonesia, pumunta ang Kojacon papuntang Singapore noong ika-29 upang magkaroon ng isang eksklusibong interbyu kasama ang banda. Subalit, dahil sa isang biglang pagdapo ng sakit, ang isa sa mga miyembro nito na si Hiroto, ay hindi makakadalo sa interbyu, naging masaya at di makakalimutan. Sila ay relax lamang, at nadarama ng Kojacon na sila ay para talagang magkakapatid.
** Interview **
Hello, good afternoon. It is a pleasure to meet you.
Alice Nine: equally. [a pleasure to meet you too]
We came from Jakarta and we'd like to ask them some questions.
Alice Nine: well.
During the EVOLUTION JROCK band played alongside other rock bands. But now, at the Sundown Festival, they played with artists of different genres. What they expect from play this festival?
Tora: Well, we are the only band that will play in this festival, right? We will be completely different from other artists. We want to give the public a real sound.
You are also in the midst of their tours of "Court of '9'", isn't it? Is there any funny story about something that occurred during the tour that you can share with readers, Shou-san?
Shou: Huh? A funny story... It is very rare that something funny happens at concerts, what a shame... Ah! (pointed to Saga) He ruined the hotel panel.
(laughing) really?
Saga: I had to pay. I paid him the hotel. Ten thousand.
Tora: Five thousand...
Shou: Eighty thousand.
Nao: One million rupees... (laughs)
Eh? Rupees? Was it in Indonesia?
Shou: No, no, in Japan, Kanazawa.
All: (laughs)
During the performances, what is the song that most like to play?
Tora: Perhaps Senkou...
Why Senkou?
Tora: Eh... I don't know (laughter). Perhaps because of the feeling I get while I play, I like...
Nao: I don't have any. All songs are fun.
Shou: Ballads...
Ah, such as Niji no Yuki...
Shou: Yes.
It's your song, right?
Shou: Yes
Saga: Our first single (Gradation)
What would you be if you were to describe the music of Alice Nine in a word?
Tora: A song in an album?
No, your opinion of Alice Nine's music in general. For example, happiness.
Tora: Ah, is a difficult question...
Ah, feel...
Shou: incredible!!
Tora: Pass, I can not answer this.
Nao: dream.
Saga:... I'm sorry, I can not... It is too shameful... Ah, happiness.
AH! You stole my answer!
All: (laughter)
What was the strangest gift you have received from fans?
Tora: I don't know... I believe that I have never received something strange.
Nao: sex...
EEH?
All: (laughs)
Shou: Your reaction was great.
What do you mean with that?
Nao: Yes, there are fans who offered us his body. But we never accept that.
All: (laughs)
Having so many fans abroad, do you feel that it is difficult to communicate with them? Are they designed to learn English?
Tora: Yes, at this moment I have eager to learn English (laughs).
Nao: in fact, I learned English at school. Anyway, I feel that with the spirit and the gestures I can better understand the fans.
In the next 2 years will reach its 10th anniversary. We (Kojacon) have planned to go to Japan to see you live at that time. What can we expect as foreign fans who have never seen their individual live show?
Tora: Ah, Hiroto should answer this. Hm, I think it's great that they can come. As still another 2 years, we will have more launches. The tenth anniversary will be a mark on our musical career, so you can expect many things.
Well, thats all. Thank you very much for your time.
Shou: Terima Kasih ("thank you" in Indonesian)
(surprised that Shou still remember words in Indonesian) Sama-Sama ("You're welcome").
It was a very nice meeting with Alice Nine. They are very friendly and easy to talk to them. We hope you can chat more with them in the future. Alice Nine, ganbatte kudasai!
