Shou Interview

First of all, how was the filming for the "MIRROR BALL" PV?

Shou: There was water ebbing on the floor, so we filmed it while splashing around violently. Even thought Tora had the problem with his hernia, he was doing his best so I was emotionally moved. On they day before we resumed the live at CHITTA, it seemed like he was at the peak of the pain, but he did his best to give us a good stage. For the "MIRROR BALL" PV we were discussing whether we should get rid of the disco ball, but the conversation ended up turning into "even though it's cliched, wouldn't it be good if it turned out to be cool?" and ended up using it. Originally we had said that having a PV where we would drive a black foreign automobile with an open roof would be good, the film would be about that and the dead of the night and dawn, the day before the live we ended up thinking it was distasteful, so we used the idea that we came up with while filming in the studio. We overlooked the opinion that didn't want us using a disco ball, while acknowledging that we had an injured member we did what we could, the result of everyone's thoughts was that we should film the best thing possible that we could possibly do in the present time. But in the end, when we had tried filming such a thing it ended up being extremely beautiful and it was completely OK to use.

What about the idea to use water?

Shou: Hiroto and I had a common image of having water flying and fluttering in slow motion. We told the director that we wanted to use water and use a high speed camera to film it, but I didn't think that getting water into your shoes would be that uncomfortable (laughs). Hiroto was determined to splash around often, but because he did that there is a cut that features his shoes in the PV.

What about the "Eraser -Memoire d'une fleur-" PV?

Shou: The original image for "Eraser" was all white, because we wanted that in the PV we also had an opportunity to redo the song. To have that wish granted we were able to do a proper clip, "Eraser" is a song where we want to show people that this is what we feel, I'm glad that it is able to reach out to everyone.

Why did you want to make an PV for "Eraser"?

Shou: At the very beginning I had that kind of image in my head, I wanted to try and embody that image. I didn't want it to just end there in the album. Last month I've listened to a few hundred songs, I though that perhaps exposing this song to the spotlight twice in this kind of way was a good thing. I think that by comparing the sounds, you will understand what it was that we wanted to do. The span of things are growing, and I am satisfied that we are able to talk about the song "Eraser".

Is the image you first had close to the one now?

Shou: That's right. During the time of the album the producer added quite a bit of their own essence via the synthesizer, so we returned to a point of simple thing with an acoustic guitar and beautiful melody within a dance beat.

It feels that it has become cheerful and florid.

Shou: The variety of sounds have decreased, but I think that it is good if you hear it in a florid way. During the time of the album we had such a tough schedule that I really thought I would die, there may have been things that everyone had left unfinished. Even during the recording where I thought I did things until my limit, it was impossible for me to be able to think that everything would be OK no matter what, so this time after going around on tour, I feel that we were able to make "Eraser" one size larger because of the power we received from the audience.

The surrounding sounds have become more florid, and I also feel that Shou-kun has gotten better at singing.

Shou: Lately, my awareness towards singing has changed, so it may be the result of that.

How did it change?

Shou: I fundamentally have a personality that tries too hard to do my best, but by extracting the strength from my body, I've come to be able to sing in a natural way. I've gotten passed things like "I have to sing" and "I have to do my best", it's like I was able to gently enter the world of songs, I think that I've been able to sing with straight forward feelings and in a carefree way in the songs that I recorded just then "Kiseki" and "Eraser -Memoire d'une fleur-", rather than in "MIRROR BALL".

What was your impression when you first hear the new song "Kiseki".

Shou: Saga-kun playing the guitar (laughs). My first impression was that it was a song with real sounds. The types of songs Saga-kun has are quite tricky, but this time I thought that he composed a song that is very motivating, something that Hiroto-kun usually does. Because it's a straight forward rock tune, thinking that I also had to be straight forward, I wrote the lyrics with the things that I was feeling in the real time and the thinking that it would be good if I could honestly say the things I wanted to say.

Lately there have been a lot of songs with messages in the lyrics, right?

Shou: That's right. This time, only "MIRROR BALL" has lyrics portraying a scene, I thought it would be good if there was some contrast.

During the hook there is some whispered kind of rap included, was that Shou-kun's?

Shou: I did come up with the melody, but originally Saga-kun had said that he wanted this kind of section.

Only the lyrics there are in English.

Shou: The subject of that part is something that would be said during an MC at a tour, but drawing near to the core of that kind of thing is embarrassing so I did it in English. If I had said it in Japanese then it would be so embarrassing I'd get a nosebleed. Even in normal circumstances. I've been told that I have lots of embarrassing lyrics (laughs)

Embarrassing lyrics?

Shou: Like in "Blue Planet" there are the lines like "Because you are the sun that burns, I am living", occasionally people say to me "What the hell is that?!". Because I am watching my beloved seniors, I don't think that it is conceited or suspicious at all. I don't think that the melodies are unexpectedly embarrassing, but when I rap about real things I get itchy, it is also easier to get into the rhythm in English, that's why I did it this way.

Even if you rap, there is no voice, right?

Shou: We mixed a light rap and a wispy whisper, so I think that you can heard it. I really think that during lives, we are continuing on the miracle because they are still ordinary days, so I put that feeling into the lyrics. I put each and every feeling into the song, I really think that we are a serious band. It isn't possible to shut away your mind. Honesty to a fault (laughs). While thinking that the many years have elapsed, I think that if we are able to play this kind of song then I'd be blessed.

Although this song was produced in a disconnected time, please tell us your feeling about this steady single.

Shou: To me, it's has quite a connection with [Alpha]. I think that is a single that shows the light and dark side of the present alicenine., even within a dark part there is surely a happy part.


Hiroto Interview

What was your impression when your first heard "Kiseki"

Hiroto: The tune was quite surprising, but I thought that it was rock music that you often hear from Saga-kun. The arrangement of the guitar is something that I would have never thought of and was hurried, but on morning of the day we were recording, the weather was really good, so I went out early and went on about a two hour drive. When I did that I eventually heard various sounds, so when I arrived at the studio and recorded the song, it turned out this way.

Were you inspired by the blue sky?

Hiroto: Saga-kun had said that this was all he could think of by himself and it couldn't get broader than this and said he was leaving the rest to us, and I received a track with just the drums and bass. I listened to that while I was in the car. This might be a weird thing to say, but while I'm in a car I can relax and face music, I got a kind of sense from the song, like "If it is you doing it, then you'd surely be able to add the guitar to me". When I arrived at the studio Tora-shi had just gotten injured, and had still done his recording like that. When I was listening to the track in the car I had confidence through the sounds that everything would be ok, but when he actually tried playing it he played it perfectly. We started recording this song the day after the detour in our tour, recording itself was a different story for everyone, but from Nao-san's drumming I could see an image, I was able to record this song with the same sensations of a live.

You also used quite a lot of effectors.

Hiroto: We alternated using a whammy. That's why we perform it at lives we'll be very busy. But it can't be helped, it's just the kind of sounds that I heard. Up until now we broadened songs from only listening to one part and working from there, but this is the first time I could hear the song as a whole. Before this I was listening to the track as I was walking, the day before that I was sitting in front of the computer listening to it, nothing was coming to me so I wondered what I should do. As expected, this song called out to me. I don't mean that this resulted in naming the title of the song so, but the band was in good condition during the tour, our new engineer is also perfect, I think that it's a song that we finished with lots of good miracles occurring. I think that if we didn't have this tour, this song would not have come to life. With that accident, and if we didn't have that kind of renewed intent then I probably wouldn't have played the guitar in such a way, it's a song that has become important to us.

What was the reason for re-recording "Eraser"?

Hiroto: At the time we had finished recording the album, the song felt like it had amazing power, it was a song that made we want to film a video for it. Songs have also matured as we go around on tour, and because the original composer Saga-kun could see an image, when we re-recorded it, the song turned out this way.

The image has considerably changed.

Hiroto: When the album was being recorded the producer had put a bit of their essence into it, the arrangement had a tendency towards being pop, we wished to redo the song constructing the sounds that was more closer to the sound of a band.

But it's still pop, right?

Hiroto: The song itself is pop (laughs). In the end we created the song with the components of alicenine.'s five members, and it turned out with this kind of feeling.

The amount of sounds in this version are less than that of the album's, but the image has become more florid.

Hiroto: We put the sounds of a piano in, but we almost entirely omitted the synthesizer, so the numbers of sounds have depleted quite a bit. The sound effects components were also played on the guitar instead, we wanted each and every sound to stand out. The recording went quite smooth.

A never-changing acoustic guitar was also included throughout the entire song.

Hiroto: The image that Saga-kun had for this song was rhythm, acoustic guitar and guitar delay. When we were making the album we added a synth in, because we mixed it so that the entirety harmonized well, this time we aimed for making the guitar stand out more. By the way, I'm not the one playing the acoustic guitar.

Tora-shi said that he was. "Playing the acoustic guitar was difficult".

Hiroto: He also said that when we were recording. For this song we clearly divided it to be acoustic = Tora and electric = Hiroto, he didn't even stop half way to change to an electric guitar, he just kept playing the acoustic guitar.

Even though it was difficult?

Hiroto: Even though it was difficult we overlapped, we played two parts. Because of the condition of his body, it took longer to record than usual. Tora-shi did his best! (laughs) I had no objections (laughs). Previously we had to think of the song's relation with the synth and that was fun in it's own way, but this time we did as we felt, so it felt great~! We had guts using a guitar delay to make the distant ringing sound in the A-melody. Listen to that!

How was the PV for "Eraser - Memoire d'une fleur-"?

Hiroto: Pure.

Light clothing?

Hiroto: I was wearing three layers, but the two tank-tops were made from cotton, so the top was quite light.

Was that the original image for the video?

Hiroto: At first, Shou-kun had an image, as we exchanged our opinions it became that kind of image. We worked quite hard on our PVs, but I thought that this kind of plain PV is also good. I didn't feel like we were aiming to have the non-evil concept. I thought that it would be good if we could show this side of ourselves.

So that's why you went with all white?

Hiroto: Yes. The director showed us one of Spielberg's maiden works, because I liked that kind of taste, I thought it was good. There isn't just energy, I think that the feeling of strength in the song comes out in the video.

What about "MIRROR BALL"?

Hiroto: When I was composing the song I saw the image of water, when I discussed it with Shou-kun out images were quite close, so from there we broadened it. I had a vague still image of water falling down and the moment it hit something it would rebound back, I really wanted to do something like that.

You also poured water on the instruments?

Hiroto: When I talked to director about wanting to film the image of performing with our instruments and having water scattering around for no reason, when I wondered how we should go about it, it ended up that the image of water shaking off our instruments was also cool. Even though we have a live the next day.

Was this also a cold recording?

Hiroto: Although it seems to be cold, the lighting actually turned the water lukewarm, it was quite hot. I was drenched all the way up to my pants, it felt disgusting~

There's quite a bit of footage of Hiroto-kun's feet.


Hiroto: Because I wanted to have the image of water spreading as it hit something, I was always kicking the water. I worked hard to the best of my ability to have the water flying about! It became a pleasant piece of work because I was able to embody the image we had.


Tora Interview

How was the filming for the PV "MIRROR BALL"?

Tora: It felt like just adding water to any normal PV, but we mainly had lots of jump scenes.

During that time, your physical condition was still bad, right Tora-shi?

Tora: It was the most painful period. Even the director said to me "If it's impossible for you to do then you don't have to do it", but I was like "Well, I'll give it a go" (laughs). Mentally it was a good period so I thought "I'll just do it", but if the pain had continued on for more than one month, I might not have done it. I hung in there quite a bit. Apart from filming I always wore the corset, I think that appearance wise you couldn't see it. As for me, I was satisfied.

"Kiseki" is Saga-kun's song?

Tora: That's right. When I first heard it I thought that he had composed quite an unexpected song. The original temporary title was "Nishikagan (West Coast)", I don't mean that Saga-kun himself had said anything to me, but I pushed on forward with that image. He said that he didn't want the entire song to become something like mellowcore, so apart from the main riffs there weren't any simple power chords, I played normal chords. Apart from the introduction, I generally played only chords.

After the hook it changes into D-melo.

Tora: I feel that alicenine. has a lot of songs with a strange composition, rather it may be alicenine.-ish. Simply for the AB hook, we didn't have to think about what we should include in the song, and it turned out this way.

Does Shou-kun do the rap?

Tora: That's right. I don't think that it was in the demo at first, so perhaps Shou-kun thought up of that. I didn't know that that part was included, so when I heard the finished version I was like "Ah, that's what it is".

Was the recording after the tour?

Tora: We did our best the day after the Valentine's live had ended.

What made you choose those two songs to be coupled with "MIRROR BALL"?

Tora: First of all, Shou-kun wanting to do a clip for "Eraser" was pretty much decided and there were no objections, we chose one more song that was good in terms of balance.

Why did you decide to re-record "Eraser"?

Tora: We wanted to create a different version from the one on the album. Although I think that way with all songs, when we started composing the song again, as time passed, there were various parts that we wished to change. It feels like we changed the entire song. Rather, it was our first time that we composed a song and recorded it again, so it was a good experience.

It has a bright and twinkling feeling, right?

Tora: At first when we thought to arrange "Eraser" again, I said that I wanted to make it a bit more rockish, but when I followed through with that I feel like it has a more pop feeling to it than the original (laughs)

The acoustic guitar is always playing as well.

Tora: Only the chords slightly changed for the acoustic guitar, the thing that unexpectedly changed was perhaps the bass. Also, by changing the synthesis, I think that the image went through a complete change. Hasn't it become more florid.

I've heard of re-arranging a song that was done a few years beforehand, but haven't only three months passed since the original version?

Tora: Even so, there's this feeling that it has changed. Of course I also wish to record our old songs once more, but there surely is a reason for choosing this song to re-arrange (laughs)

I think that at the time of the recording, it was still during the time when Tora-shi's condition was bad, right?

Tora: Playing the acoustic guitar was difficult, it was a little hard. Even now I can't hold a fry-pan with my left hand. That's why I am worried that I can't cook unless it's with my right hand.

Isn't that because you've cooked a large amount of food?

Tora: No no no. I can't hold an empty fry-pan. Even now it's still like that, so that period was painful. Playing an acoustic guitar requires more strength to press down than an electric guitar, so it was hard. There was pressure to not be playing the guitar for a long period of time during recording.

You didn't do that many takes?

Tora: I can't play for two hours. If it were a live we could enhance it and it would be fine, but you can't do that kind of thing while recording. I was just barely fine playing the electric guitar. This time I used my own guitar, so it was easy to play because my hands were accustomed to playing it. While recording, it might have been difficult borrowing a good guitar from that place, so I'm glad that I didn't borrow one.

You don't usually use your own guitar?

Tora: I don't use it at all for recording. The engineer usually introduces me to a guitar that would suit the colour tone of the song. It may have been the first time I used my guitar for recording. I didn't feel that there were many differences in the sounds, so I thought that perhaps from now on it would be ok to play my guitar which is easier to play during recording.

How was the filming of the PV for "Eraser -Memoire d'une fleur"?

Tora: It was completely white. It was my first time filming a PV where I play an acoustic guitar, but also because of the tune, compared to the normal PVs I didn't move around at all. There aren't that many PVs with this kind of calm tune. The PVs that we usually film for are mostly up-tempo, so it was bit difficult filming this. It looks like filming for the PV was really tiring, but this time it was a PV where I didn't get tired at all. Because all the filming for the PVs I've experienced were tough (laughs). Like filming for thirty-six hours straight or filming two PVs in one day. I thought that even though it didn't take long to film, we filmed it properly (laughs)

What are your impressions hearing these three songs?


Tora: Although we're a band with an image of releasing lots of things, I think that people might understand that we've been advancing a little. I don't mean that we have intervals of free time, although it is true to say that we composed a song that it similar to what we usually do, we had just enough free time to only re-arrange "Eraser", because I think that we have become a considerably good band, it is also related to our confidence. I feel that the first release of 2008 was splendidly completed.


Saga Interview

The original composer of "Kiseki is Saga-kun?

Saga: Yes. We finished the composing for [Alpha] last year in October, but until then I was always composing songs, so I thought to save up some songs. I saved up some songs while playing the acoustic guitar, humming along to it and recording it with a tape recorder. The ideas overflowed one by one, but amongst those "Kiseki" was a song that sounded the most complete.

I heard that the temporary title was "Nishikaigan" though?

Saga: It may have been because I composed with with an acoustic guitar, but at first it had a kind of country feeling to it. However, I wanted to compose a song that I don't usually compose and tried making it punkish, it happened to be similar to what a band born in Nishikaigan, so I affixed that as the temporary title. But composing it I felt that the song became boring, I wished to add a new essence to it, so I requested of the members "Just freely change what you want to in the mean time". When I said that, that kind of guitar was added to it. During the final stages of recording, Hiroto-kun used two whammys and connected it normally that it was unbelievable, I played the guitar and Hiroto-kun had followed it so it became interesting. Those sounds are ringing in the outro. I wanted to that kind of heart-throbbing thing. Having just the bass and guitar in the interlude gets things hyped up, it was a part that I composed wanting to see the scenery that we haven't seen up until now. Generally, I wanted to compose a fresh song. 

The guitar has changed in various ways, but is there anything like that for the bass?

Saga: Lately I've come to understand what I am, our normal selves are a band that is something like the other bands we've listened to, the bass is always simple. Up until now there has never been this feeling of doing strange things with the bass at all, rather, the feeling of wanting the entire song itself to be good was stronger. In regards to the songs that I compose myself, I'm more interested in the drums or guitar or vocals than the bass. When I listen to our old songs, I think that the bass was played in a guitar-like way. There are lots of times when I wonder why I played the bass the way I did at a certain part, so now I naturally play the bass to the best of my ability.

Did you remake "Eraser" because you wanted to have a video for it and such?

Saga: That's right. When it was decided that we would make another version, it was still before the tour. I thought "It's impossible", and I really had my doubts. However after playing songs however many times on tour our interpretations of the song change, at first the bass was played in 4-beats but now it's played in 16-beats, the mood of it has generally changed because of that. Finally, it has a more beautiful feeling than it did before. At first I wished for it to have a more rock feeling to it, but after finishing this version and comparing it, I think that the version on [Alpha] is more rockish. After the tour ended, our interpretation of the song deepened, and I thought that this version of "Eraser" was more like us.

It became more florid, right?

Saga: At first I was hesitant thinking about what I should do, but when the tour ended the idea just naturally came to me. I had a talk with Hiroto-kun about what to do about the guitar, I discussed various things, like the drums would be good if it were more Nao-ish. The version on [Alpha] had the producer's essence in it, so I thought that this time I would like to place more emphasis on the band sound, I composed it thinking that the sounds that the five of us make are the most important. I think that it's mysterious that it had a more delicately beautiful feeling than the version on [Alpha]. Even though usually it seemed like it would sound more like something from a band, I thought that rather, perhaps this is what we are like.

What about the bass?

Saga: During [Alpha] there were a lot of instruments and I played a variety of bass guitars, but "Eraser -Memoire d'une fluer-" and "Kiseki" were recorded with the same set that was used on tour. We were still in the middle of the tour, the equipment set-up, the utilization of equipment and the spirits were still as if we were on tour. Playing the phrases was also as if we were doing a live. The thing that changed the most was that I thought that I had to be heard, the bass become more simplistic, I was able to think about the larger scale things.

How was the filming for the PV "MIRROR BALL"?

Saga: Some water came into my shoes, it was quite deplorable (laughs). There was a scene where we jump, even if I landed nicely there was still water falling onto my bass, I was using the bass that I usually play at lives, so I was quite eager. When I picked up my bass, it was like I was going to get an electric shock (laughs)

Naturally, the electric power wasn't on, right?

Saga: It was all on. We used packing tape to mark out the danger zones around jacks and such, I was really worried because my bass was soaking wet. There was a live the next day, so at that time, my mood was actually quite unstable.

It would have been dangerous if you had gotten an electric shock though ......

Saga: That's right!!

So the day after, you appeared on stage with the same bass?

Saga: That's right. I was relieved that it produced the right sounds. It's an important tool of my trade, so the PV filming made me think that I should take care of it from now on.

What about "Eraser -Memoire d'une fleur-"?

Saga: First of all, the studio was far away ...... It was really far from where I live, it was also snowing so I felt disheartened, furthermore I got lost on the way, so I became discouraged. Everyone is wearing all white clothing, so I thought that it was a bit of a problem for me to wear a green bandana around my thigh. Like "Why did I choose that colour?", I regretted it a lot.

Didn't you all choose the colour that you liked?

Saga: We did get to decide for ourselves though ...... When I actually tried wearing it, having green on a white costume is certainly similar to a daikon radish. I was shocked. I thought that the fans would definitely not approve of it. Having that in that beautiful world of all white, and having a flower bed in the PV. I was worried that as we tried to express a pure world with all white, perhaps my bandana would destroy everything ...... That is the highlight of this PV (Tears). However, I think that the PV itself was "Eraser"-like and is a good piece of work. 


Nao Interview

What kind of impression did you have when you first heard "Kiseki"?

Nao: The temporary title was "Nishikaigan", so I felt a refreshing atmosphere. I thought that it was a song that would seem enjoyable at lives and a song that we would be able to perform.

How did it feel when you played the drums?

Nao: The recording was over in a moment. Before the recording the song was properly arranged, and I also took the time to practice. Actually the drums and the bass were recorded together, easily and cleanly. In terms of the nuances we recorded them perfectly and precisely, this time we recorded focusing on the upbeat feeling. 

But didn't you say the recording of the drums for "MIRROR BALL" was tough?

Nao: The number of hand movements involved are surprisingly quite a lot, it was extremely tough~. But I could often relax and felt good. I don't mean that it took longer to record than usual, but from the setting to composing the sounds we had flexibility. I had discussions like "Maybe it should be more like this" when I played the song once, exited the booth and listened to it, then I played it again ...... this repeated a number of times, when I've decided that the sounds I've played are satisfactory, I did the real recording. That's why when I started recording I was able to complete it right away, I thought "That's so professional-ish~".

Huh, even though you're already a professional?

Nao: Yeah, that's right (laughs)

But for this song, surely it didn't feel like you were simply playing the drums.

Nao: For me I can't decide which song is more simple, but generally, I don't think I can think of the songs as simple, after all ...... No matter what song it is, I wished to include a bit of a startling part somewhere in the song. That reminds me, in the second B-melo, I did a kind of tricky thing there (laughs). Also, I included a wind chime that went like Sha-ra-ra~n ♪ after the second hook. I don't mean that I included those things as they were, rather I wanted to always have this swaying feeling, I tried getting charming sounds. I hadn't done that lately, so it was fresh.

Did the sounds of the drums change for the re-recorded "Eraser -Memoire d'une fleur-"?

Nao: We also recomposed the rhythm, so even the sounds could change. I wanted to finish the song with something that would push through the smoothness of the album version of "Eraser", we also did this when we were composing the sounds. This time we re-arranged the song in a new way, we composed the sounds so that they had a little bit more raw and live feeling. Of course, the drums was unprocessed (laughs)

There are also sounds that sound like a drum brush.

Nao: Ah, we included that. However I don't mean that I used a drum brush. By re-doing this, it was just one thing among others of the composed sounds that gave the song a new image. However, if there will be such a song where I can use the drum brush, I want to try using the drum brush. I wonder if there is someone out there who will teach me.

What are your impressions comparing this to the earlier version?

Nao: It's unexpected but comparing it to the previous version, the previous version was more rock-ish. When we were making this version, I feel like we had a discussion to make this version for rock-ish though (laughs). The new version is comfortable and gentle, I think that we perfected a song that can be heard. We communicate the gentleness of it.

When you play the song, you communicate to us your gentleness?

Nao: Yes. alicenine.'s gentleness is communicated bit by bit to this cold heart of mine. I was encouraged by alicenine. I received gentleness. I want to hurry and see everyone's smiles, I want the energy to live ......

What's wrong, Nao-san?

Nao: Sorry, I got a little too into the song.

How was the PV shooting for "MIRROR BALL"?

Nao: I had a stern face, didn't I. I put power into it. As expected, it was difficult. There are a lot of times where you could catch a glimpse of my face that was different to how it usually is. We made use of a high speed camera, I think that we made a PV with a good atmosphere.

You use water as well.

Nao: The water was hitting the instruments, I was a little worried, but doing something like that feels good. I like getting soaked by the rain, I had that idea for the "Ruri no Ame" PV but it was rejected (laughs). Up until now we've never performed using water, so my drums went through a great deal.

There was a scene where you hit the snare, and water flies off it.

Nao: I was determined to use the water, so I purposely made it bounce off. However I didn't think that I would get that wet. I heard that the water was hitting the floor, but I did think that it would reach the top as well, if we were going to do it then we might as well do it well, so we filmed a satisfying piece of footage. It seems like ...... there were more scenes of the water bouncing on the floor than of me. It was really cool when I hit the cymbals or the drum, and the water bounced and splashed off (laughs)

What about the PV for "Eraser -Memoire d'une fleur-"?

Nao: Personally, I really recommend this PV. Shou-kun is cool! He sang with his facial expressions. I felt like I saw new facial expressions. Also, there were scenes where Shou-kun was like a disabled person, I definitely want fans of Shou-kun to look forward to this.

What about Nao-san's fans?

Nao: I was lying on top of flowers. I'm cute, I'm cute. The manager said "I was rejuvenated" when they saw that scene, so I also want to rejuvenate everyone. It would be good if everyone felt healed♪

What about the flowers that Nao-san squashed?

Nao: They're all crushed ...... I'm kidding (laughs). It wouldn't be good if the flowers were crushed, so around me there were real flowers, but the flowers underneath me were artificial flowers. We had proper wiring put in, even when they flowers were on top of me the weren't disturbed. However, I felt like I had entered a dream world, to the point where I forgot that I was shooting a PV. You don't usually see the flowers in a slow shot, I myself was also rejuvenated. It may be a good thing to be a guy who goes well with flowers! Cute, cute, cute.

What is your impression listening to these three songs?

Nao: We completed these songs so well to the point that it would be good if all songs became the lead song, I want people to anticipate this single. It's like a miracle will happen in your life!

You're a little different today, aren't you, Nao-kun?

Nao: Is that so? Perhaps I listend to "Eraser" too much (laughs)
