BEAT SHUFFLE [2013-04-12] [Tora&Hiroto]

First they talked about something they’re into lately. They began with Hiroto’s fascination with Montnlanc cake. Hiroto said that he only tried it recently when they were recording Shadowplay and he really loved it. Tora even said it’s been getting annoying.

Another thing Hiroto’s been into is Zen meditation. He said after they finished the recording he had two days off so he went to Kyoto with another guitarist. He said he’d read about in on the internet and decided to try it) He meditated for about an hour and it felt good.

Tora talked about his hobby which is survival games. He’s been doing it for about a year. He said he and his friends liked the idea and somehow it appeared that there were quite a few people willing to participate so they did it. They had about 20 people and the game lasted about 6 hours, from 12 to 6 PM. But it’s like they play for 20 minutes, then rest for 20 minutes. Tora said many of the participants were from music bands so it was hard to find the right time. Then Hiroto complained Tora didn’t invite him and Tora said he did but Hiroto did not come and they argued about it. Saga also took part in it.

Then they talked about the single. Not much was said about Shadoplay except that the guitar solo is really long. As for Scarlet Hiroto said it was born at a live session during the PSC Carnival, in 2011. It was with the band LU/V that Saga and Hiroto were a part of.

After playing Shadowplay they talked about the present they were about to give away, Nao’s drumhead. They said: not only was it signed but also had Nao’s sweat and drool))

Then there were questions from the listeners. There was a question about whether they sing in the car and what kind of music they listen to in the car. They said they mostly just listen to the radio. They said the music that’s on the company’s car is all very old, like from the 90’s. Then there was question about their juniors. Tora seemed puzzled, looks like he doesn’t hang out with juniors. The host and Hiroto kept prodding like “But aren’t you adored by your juniors? You have this older brother image”. Tora said he was grateful.

Then there was the question of how Tora spotted tweeting after that one tweet about eating xiaolongbao last October. Tora said he doesn’t know the password. He said he was logged in on his last phone which he lost and wasn’t able to log in on his new phone. “There’s no helping it” The host prodded that he can make a new account but Tora said he doesn’t know what to tweet. The host and Hiroto were teasing him saying it can be anything, even survival games. Like, “I’m being hit nau.”

Then Hiroto told about how his iPhone got crushed. He seemed to have dropped it and only noticed it gone when he was about to boast his new song, Shadowplay to Ruki. When he found it it was crushed by a truck.

There was also a question about how they decided on the guitar solos, how they share them. It seems there isn’t any grand scheme, they basically go with the flow.

That’s about it, basically.
