    God, that Netflix Dracula series really needs to cut it out with all the shots of people pulling their own loose fingernails off. One was more than enough.

     

    I almost tore off the top part of one of my nails by accident recently, so it's been extra unappealing to watch...

    It's too bad about LEZARD. I still haven't been able to commit myself to listening to a full album of theirs, but I liked some of their video tracks from both vocalist eras a lot. Especially LOVE + MUSIC and Manatsu no Junjou to Revolution.

    so I've posted this in the vk popularity thread a few days ago and today I'm accidentally stumbling up this glorious gothic lolita queen:

     

    her first globally-released album came out in Europe first despite being recorded in the US, with a 3rd press released through starwave mail order & limited 10 copies the end records; she played with Courtney Love and a bunch of other Real musicianS which you can look up on wiki and for the past 10 + years she only does theatre w/o venturing into music.

     

    which probably has some correlation to how VK would have been received in an imaginary scenario with US music industry picking up on it same way game dev used to do with wEirD'n'QuIRkY Japanese games in early 2000s.

    That's interesting, I didn't know that was the type of music she made. I'd only heard of her because of her parts in the movie "The Devil's Carnival".

    This is from a series of videos Jack Caper made where they introduce themselves to the fans by answering 21 questions. This one was my second favourite after Hiro’s, so I decided to give translating it a shot as well.

     

    Like the previous one, there are some parts I didn’t get, so I’ve highlighted them in red and made notes. I skipped some of the side comments that aren’t subtitled as well, since my listening comprehension isn't good enough to do this without subtitles. My Japanese is atrocious, so please feel free to mention any corrections. :)

     

     

    Shuma: Question time is starting!

     

    1. What is your part (in the band)?

    Choco: It’s guitar! Guitar! Tar-gui!

     

    2. What made you take up that part?

    Choco: I actually wanted to be a vocalist, but it was embarrassing, so I decided to play guitar.

     

    3. What is your blood type?

    Choco: It’s A!

     

    4. Where are you from?

    Choco: Tottori!

     

    5. What are your hobbies?

    Choco: Karaoke.

     

    6. What are your special skills?

    Choco: I don’t really have many. Before now it was guitar, but recently it’s death voice.

    YG: You’re just talking about singing

    Choco: I like to sing~ ❤️

     

    7. Favourite food?

    Choco: My favourite foods are omurice, hamburger and peaches.

     

    8. Foods you hate?

    Choco: The foods I hate are green peppers, eggplant and squid. Also shellfish-like stuff. Shellfish-style* foods are impossible for me.

    Riku: Accountant~*

    ^*Choco says “kai-kei” (“貝系 “) and Riku says “kaikei” (“会計 “)

    Choco: Marine products in general are fundamentally no good for me.

    Shuma: What about crab?

    Choco: Crab is no good either.

    Shuma: Uwa!

    Choco: Even though I’m from Tottori, if crab was served at my home I’d never eat a bite.

     

    9. Favourite artists?

    Choco: My favourite artists are: coldrain, Crossfaith, Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, L’Arc~en~Ciel and My First Story. I really love them.

     

    10. What do you like about yourself?

    Choco: I’m cheerful, and I can have fun and get along with anyone.

     

    11. What do you dislike about yourself?

    Choco: I’m super menhera.**

    ^**Crazy/mentally unstable

    Shuma: Are you serious? (laughs)

    Choco: Yeah, I’m pretty crazy.

    Riku: You’re not going to jump again, right?~ (laughs)***

    Hiro: You seriously need to cut it out with the jumping.***

    ^***I think they’re talking about stagediving?

     

    12. What type of girl do you like?

    Choco: The type of girl I like is cute and straightforward. A person like Hashimoto Kanna.

    Hiro: This guy expects way too much.

    Riku: You’re not going to find that.

    Choco: Cute and straightforward. And maybe it’d be good if she could cook too.

    Shuma: You’re really asking for a lot, aren’t you?

    Choco: Someone that’s going to spoil me—

    YG: You want too much!

    Choco: I want to be spoiled.

     

    13. How do you spend your days off?

    Choco: A guy like me spends his days off doing things like watching anime, drinking tapioca (milk tea) and drawing pictures on copy paper. The kotatsu at my place has a white table, so I often draw all over it with magic markers. I just draw One Piece pictures.

    [something I didn’t catch]

     

    14. If you had to share a room with a member of the band for a month, who would be good and who would be bad?

    Choco: It would definitely be bad with everyone, but the reason is because it seems like everyone would leave the room a mess. If I’m forced to say, I think if I was with Riku every day we’d spend together would be fun, but—

    Riku: Woo!

    Choco: He also seems like the person that’d leave the room the messiest, so I’d lean more towards no one.

    Hiro: If we go on an expedition, everyone will hate the person that ends up staying in the same room as Riku.

    Choco: (laughs)

    Hiro: It’s amazing how messy he is! It seems like the place would become a garbage dump in just one day.

    Choco: [something I didn’t get] That’s definitely a lie!

     

    15. What do you want to do with Jack Caper?

    Choco: I’d like to do an apparel collab.

    Shuma: An apparel collab?

    Choco: Hiro can do one with The Simpsons on his own though. (laughs)

    Hiro: Oi!

    Shuma: For example, what kind of brand?

    Choco: Eh? CIVARIZE.

    Shuma: Ahhh!

    Choco: Everyone with a visual kei image--

    Shuma: I’ve done one, an apparel collab

    Choco: What?! Really?

    ^**It says “Mounting Shuma” on the screen – I don’t know what that refers to

     

    16. Prefecture in Japan you want to go to?

    Choco: Okinawa. Hokkaido would be nice too. I’ve never been there.

     

    17. Most recent YouTube video you watched?

    Choco: Yesterday, before bed, I was watching a real video of an exorcism, like from The Exorcist. I’m interested in exorcisms. It seems like exorcists really exist. In Vatican City.

     

    18. If you weren’t in a band, what would you be doing?

    Choco: I’d be a college student. If I was in college, I think I’d be partying a lot.

     

    19. What’s something that you’re glad you bought recently?

    Choco: The thing I bought recently was this… a battery charger!

     

    20. A message to yourself after one year.

    Choco: Have you become cute properly? I mean, cuter. Right now, you’re ugly without makeup, so—

    Hiro: Are you talking about getting plastic surgery or something? (laughs)

    Choco: I’m going to go to [the place where Riku went] too…*** I think Shonan could be good too.

    Hiro: Shonan, huh?

    Choco: You won’t expose me, right?

    Hiro: That’s no good, you can’t use that. (laughs)

    Shuma: If you were going to get work done, what would you want to change?

    [some things I didn’t catch]

    Choco: Honestly, I got double eyelid surgery long before Riku did****, but since it seems to have disappeared, I’d like to get that fixed, and make my nose slimmer and fix the alignment of my teeth.

    ****(Earlier this year, Riku announced on Twitter that he was getting double eyelid surgery, and he took before and after videos and a did a live stream talking about it, so this is not a secret or anything.)

     

    21. A message to yourself after ten years.

    Choco: Are you eating properly? (laughs)

    YG: What are you, a mother?! (laughs)

    Choco: Right now I’m so skinny, so I think it’d be good if I could gain just a bit more weight~

    YG (?): You have so many things you dislike, I could cry.

    Choco: I have lots of things I like and dislike~

     

    Shuma: That’s all the questions.

    Choco: Oh, it’s over! I wonder how you feel about me being this kind of person? By the way, I have a hunchback, so I have a habit of sticking my chin out like this. I’m not trying to pick a fight. (laughs)

    I think there’s a really big difference between how I look on the outside after makeup and my bare face, but what’s on the inside doesn’t change – this is how I am normally. Well, let’s move on to the next person. The end!

    Still kind of amazed that Aki just randomly dropped a digital release one day after like 3~4 years of nothing but sporadic limited CDs. Gotta get around to checking out the whole thing, because I'm really liking this song. He still has such a great voice.
