    seys reacted to Seelentau in sukekiyo   
    So since today's show got cancelled, they posted various clips on Twitter in the order they would've performed them at the show.
    Sooo thoughtful of them, I'm amazed
    Will upload the snippets to YouTube later. Most of them come from LIQUEFACIO btw.

    Q1. Please introduce yourself.
    A: My name is Retsu, I play the guitar on DIMLIM
     
    Q2. What is the nature of your human being?
    A: It’s a weakness
     
    Q3. Why do you think so?
    A: I’m really weak but they are not always weak. Weakness is also strength. I face that weakness every day.
     
    Q4. What do you have in mind when you compose music?
    A: I don’t know anything about music theory, so, I enjoy the chemical reaction of phrases while writing songs. I also have in mind to space things out, if you listen to it you will be able to see the scene clearly. (Note: Retsu means phrase in the sense of a phrase in music theory; lazy copy paste here: “In music and music theory, phrase and phrasing are concepts and practices related to grouping consecutive melodic notes, both in their composition and performance. A musical work is typically made up of a melody that consists of numerous consecutive phrases.” I also want to note I’m not sure about that “have in mind to space things out”; what the Japanese subtitles say tho is that “also it’s to emit sounds that don’t exist in this world”. Anyway, I think he means experimenting and adding sounds together to create a scene.)
     
    Q5. Why did you decide to release MISC. now?
    A: It goes around the same place and has seem like(?) content. Nothing interesting. So we released the exact opposite. (Note: sorry the first line is really hard for me to understand; but the Japanese subs say that in this world there’s only content that spins around in the same spot)
     
    Q6. What do you mean by going around the same place?
    A: Everybody gets along in a small world. I don’t think that’s necessary. There is rarely no need to get along.
     
    Q7. Don't be influenced by others. Be yourself. "What is your real intention?
    A: As you said, there are few people who are themselves. I think so no matter what you look at. I leave it up to others to dress up, listen to the faces of people I can’t see. I wave a flag of the opposite colour, if you have something to say why don’t you do it? I think so
     
    Q8. Compared to the previous album "MISC.", I feel that there are less exposed haites in the songs and lyrics. Why?
    A: I don’t think so at all, I’d rather throw it straight in the middle
     
    Q9. Who would you like to listen to?
    A: I want people all over the world to listen. If love is the only thing in the relationship to death? It’s time to take off your glasses and look for the real
     
    Q10. What was the most difficult song to record this time?
    A: All the songs
     
    Q11. Why is that?
    A: (?) don’t dress a song (Note: Retsu is saying it’s because he doesn’t flare the musical composition with unnecessary shit, so it’s not overworked I assume)
     
    Q12. May 9 is the first performance of this year in Japan, but why is it performed more than 3 months after the release of "MISC."?
    A: I want you to come after you know it well. We are ready to accept your thoughts. So bring your ugly (?) and or your suspicions (Note: we want you to come after you’ve gotten familiar with it, we’re ready to receive what you think of it, so bring your ugly thoughts/views/opinions and suspicions you have of the album with you to the venue)
     
    Q13. Why is the performance at Shibuya WOMB?
    A: When I first saw it I thought it was the only place. See you at the show

    luvielle (ルヴィーユ) is a very new band, who at the time of this interview had held very few lives. Their style evokes a feeling of “the good old days of VK,” and for that they've gained some attention. They were gracious enough to speak with us about their concept and their plans.

    I haven't used a forum like this so long and nostalgia is just rushing through me.
     
    Hi! My name's Jake, if we're doing that kind of introduction. I build car washes and, at night, dry my tears with my bachelor's degree in writing while bingewatching horror franchises; in case you're curious, Nightmare on Elm Street is by far the best franchise to watch front-to-back. Pleased to meet y'all.
     
    I've been lurking here for a little while because I'm a big fan of Sukekiyo and there's very little discussion of them on the English-speaking web. I'm also a big fan of Dir En Grey (SO GOOD when I saw them in December,) Envy (@my username - seen them twice & their new album is shockingly good,) plus a bunch of different stuff primarily in the indie, emo, and metal orbit. My VK/J-Rock cred is pretty low, but I used to be obsessed with Deluhi years ago because I was majorly into Galneryus so... There's that at least.
     
    Another reason I joined was because I've been learning Bass recently and - while getting into bands like MUCC, Kannivalism, Suspended 4th, Tricot, and 9GOATS BLACK OUT - I've realized how much more interesting Bass in J-Rock is than it typically is in the West. Listening to stuff like this is really inspiring while struggling to learn an instrument, so I'm trying to see what other bands are out there. This seems like a good place to browse for that purpose, so... Hi!

    Big thanks to Kenbo! 
    He helped with translating a few questions to Japanese. And surely also that every member answered the interview very nicely! It's an interview everybody enjoys, so please read even if you aren't a fan! ^^
     
     
     
    EDIT:
    Why did we choose this band for an interview?
    CLACK inc. is maybe not the most popular or best band around (for some of us), but if a band changes their members it's always interesting to dig in them a little bit. I'm also glad that Jae_agent33399 helped us with giving a good direction of questions we could ask. 
    Looking at the history of this band and members and current members it's a good band to have interviewed too, because hey it's interesting what they have been up to and if they can hit more people hearts!
     
    Because this band starts a new area I won't share their music in this topic.
     
    Still I hope that people are exited to discover more about their upcoming single. I'm looking forward to it!
    So keep tuned okay?
     
     
    A really big thanks to Kenbo, without him, this interview maybe wouldn't be possible at all.
