Q: This year is the band's 10th year anniversary. In the beginning, what were the feelings you had when you started Alice Nine? Now, have you changed the way they feel?
T: When we first started, it was to gather these 5 people in hopes of realising our dreams. From then on, we hosted a lot of lives and released a lot of music during these 10 years. We felt that we had grown up along the way and had achieved our dreams step by step on wanting to play in bigger venues. At the same time, we strive to deliver Alice Nine's music to people around the world.
Q: Throughout the band's 10 years together, Alice Nine didn't have any incidents of changing members or going on a hiatus. Normally, how do the members get along with each other?
T: Even though everyone didn't meet during their schooldays, after getting to know each other, we have feelings now of being really good friends from the same school. Because of this, each member could go through these 10 years without any problems.
Even if its matters other than music, we would discuss together. We have a very integrating atmosphere. We haven’t had any ideas of changing members.
N: Just like in an all-boys school
T: (Agrees) Just like in an all-boys school...We almost always talk about dirty things…
N: Mostly only Saga-san...
Sa: (Smiles) Um...
N: (Laughs) Hey! It's not something to be proud about!
Q: What are some of the most memorable moments for each member during the past 10 years?
T: There are a lot of memorable things... to mention one of it... it would be our efforts in the beginning isn't it?
N: Yeah. That time when we released our first single right? The sales entered the charts...
In the studio...
(All laugh)
N: (Laughs) Can I say it? No?
T: Indeed. It was the best memory.
N: It was something we couldn't do normally. (Gestured actions that look like an explosion)
T: It wasn't really that expensive...
N: Yeah.
Q: What are each member's goals towards the next 10 years?
T: After these 10 years, for the next 10, I only wish that we would continue to grow and everyone would continue to get along with each other.
Q: In [Supernova], what are the new elements that have been added in? Are there any special things you would like the fans to note especially?
Sa: New elements... indeed… it would be dance music. Tora-san wrote a song named [Kid]. It’s a new song that we are looking forward to see how the Asia Tour fans would react to.
Q: In this live, what would you like Hong Kong fans to notice specially?
T: How should I put this? We just finished Japan's tour, so we would like to bring the essence of that tour to Asia and try to let Asian fans know what it’s like to be in Japan’s lives.
Q: Finally, are there any messages you would like to deliver to the Hong Kong fans?
N: First time in Hong Kong... I'm coming. Through these 10 years, I'm looking forward to it.
Therefore, fans who couldn't come to the live, please come anyway.
T: First performance in Hong Kong, we still don't know if there are a lot of fans waiting for us. But there should be some fans who already know us there so we would give our all in this performance. Also, it’s not every day that we have a chance like this (to host an Asia tour)... so we hope that everyone would take us seriously. Hope that everyone could come to the live. Thank you very much.
Sa: First performance in Hong Kong... even though we just finished our tour in Japan, we grew a lot during that tour. Therefore, I think that whether it’s the fans in Asia or in Hong Kong, they would see a live that is probably better than the ones we did in Japan. It’s definitely worth the ticket price. So everyone, please look forward to it.
