musicJAPANplus - Alice Nine at Sundown Festival 2012, [2012.12.17]

Sa nalalapit na pagtatapos ng taon, nagpunta ang Alice Nine sa Singapore para magbigay ng isang live show sa isang event na tinatawag na Sundown Festival 2012. Napili ang Alice Nine bilang kinatawan ng bansang Japan sa lahat ng apat na Asian artists.

Ang Alice Nine ay kilala bilang isang Visual Kei band na galing Japan. Paisa-isa ay pumasok na ang mga miyembro: Tora, Nao, Saga at ang huli, si Shou. Hindi makakadalo ng Conference si Hiroto dahil siya ay nakapalagi sa isang ospital sa Japan. Ngunit sumunod naman siya at nakadating ng Singapore nang huli para sa kanilang performance sa festival. Nawa'y mag-enjoy kayo sa session interview kasama ang banda!


Is this his first time in Singapore? What are your impressions of this country? Would you like to do or see something in Singapore while they are here?

Shou: We have never been in Singapore, this is our first time here. Anyway, we know about Merlion and Marina Bay Sands and all the rich culture in Singapore, so we would love to see these things and put us in touch with the culture.

Please, tell us what are your current goals related with the sale of their albums, their popularity and concerts abroad, and perhaps some plan to 2013.

Shou: The coming year will be the ninth year of the band, and as the ninth year, it is something big for us, we want to give you the best.

How do you feel that Hiroto is not with you at this time? Do you have any message to give to him?

Shou: Hiroto expects the concert with many anxieties, but unfortunately he was not feeling well. He wants to be in perfect condition for the morning concert. We only want him to feel well and that we can give 100% performance.

What will be the theme of the performance of tomorrow? There will be more new and classic songs?

Shou: As this is a group event, the time they gave us is quite limited. We'd like to show everyone everything that we have, from classics to recent songs.

This year Alice Nine has done more live shows than launches. Can fans expect many releases the coming year?

Shou: As this year, we have changed the record company, we mostly have organized live concerts. Anyway, since that comes sooner, we want to launch many CDs as a gift to fans, so please look forward...

What the great thing with regard to give a concert at the international fans compared to Japanese fans?

Shou: Japanese fans are very shy, so when we do something the reaction sometimes it is slow, but with respect to the international fans, they pay close attention to what we do, what we sing, and what we say, so the reaction is very direct. It is very good to see how to react immediately, so it feels great to have international fans.

What is the funniest scene you made in an Alice9 Channel program?

Shou: As we are musicians, normally only show our musical side out of this show. So in this program we want to show ourselves and do what we think is funny. I think that we showed all our different sides and people can enjoy them.

Do you already tested some local food in Singapore? If you did it, what is your favorite?

Shou: Still we ate none. There are many dishes that we are interested in, such as the spicy crab and other local foods. Maybe tonight we can try some.
