Visual-Kei *Update with Report* ペンタゴン (Pentagon) Livestream Q&A

[-NOVA- 3027]

 
Message from Vo. Chizuru:
 
"Hello everyone in the States. My name is Chizuru, vocalist from the band Pentagon. First, I am very happy to know that there are fans across the sea supporting us. We aren't able to go see you guys in person as of yet, but we will definitely do our best to go to you guys as soon as we can. We will be featured and meeting oversea fans for the first time through XENON's livestream Q&A. I'm actually really nervous since its the first time we do something like this. I hope to enjoy our time during the livestream. thank you" - Chizuru(Pentagon)
 
 
Please note that there was a bit of miscommunication at times, and the band misinterpreted some of the questions so some responses may not make sense.I also did leave some odds and ends out of the report.
 
*Also for those that are unaware Minpha does not speak so he wrote or gestured his answers*
 
So the event kicked off and the band began with a self introduction. They explained who they were and what their concept was. Chizuru described their concept as "Dark Fantasy". After the self intro. they talked about their new upcoming album「WELCOME TO GHOST HOTEL」. He said that we can expect a much darker sound from this album.
 
The Q & A began and Pentagon began by asking us some questions: 
 
Yutori: I would like to visit America to meet women but I've heard that most women in the U.S. carry guns in their purse, is this true?
 
*A girl revealed the inside of her purse to the band and prove there was no gun*
 
Band: Ohhhhhhhhhh!
 
Person: I do have pepper spray
 
Yutori: *Blurts out in English* Oh My God!      ... JESUS!
 
*We all laugh and Yutori laughs back*
 
Taku: Is there any stage in Los Angeles that would welcome a visual-kei band like us?
 
Someone mentioned the whisky a gogo since Dir En Grey had preciously played there the night before.
 
Band: Ohhh Dir En Grey, thats awesome!
 
Yutori: Cool Name!
 
Someone else said the Roxxy Theater since Vamps held a concert there back in October.
 
Chizuru: What is it about visual-kei that gets you so interested? It's a different language so how do you guys manage to enjoy it?
 
*I'm assuming this question relates to the message he sent us the day before the event, i think Chizuru still finds it hard to believe he has fans overseas*
 
Person: I just love how every release is a different concept
 
Person: I love how the instruments sound
 
Person: I love the MV's they look really well done and it has an amazin production
 
Band: Thank You!
 
*Now our turn to ask questions began*
 
Person: Is there any band that you like outside of Japan?
 
Chizuru: Unfortunately, I'm not so good at English so i don't really listen to any.
 
Yutori: I began playing guitar after listening to the Beatles and I've enjoyed their music since.
 
Taku: My Chemical Romance
 
Minpha: *Gestured Ok sigh with his hand*
 
Atsuki: A lot!
 
Person: What is one of your hobby's?
 
Chizuru: Gamble
 
Yutori: *Blurts out in English* MASTURBATION !

 

*We all laughed* 

 

*Yutori laughed back*

 
Taku: SEX! *he laughs* Joking ...Sports

 

Minpha: Women outside of Japan

 

Atsuk: (Did not answer or forgot to answer)

 

Person: Do you see many male fans at lives?

 

Chizuru: It may seem hard to believe but Pentagon is actually one of the few bands with many male fans

 

Person: Favorite Color?

 

Chizuru: Black

 

Yutori: Green

 

Taku: Blue

 

Minpha: Pink

 

Atsuki: Grey

 

Person: What is your favorite animal?

 

Chizuru: It used to be cats but now its a dogs

 

Yutori: *Shouts in English* Humans!

 

Taku: Armadillo

 

Minpha: Cat

 

Atsuki: Dog

 

Person: Chizuru what is your favorite Japanese band? 

 

Chizuru: Golden Boomber!

 

Person: Is there a concept you would like to do in the future?

 

*The band actually spend a good minute to think about this one*

 

Chizuru: Mafia !

 

The Q & A came to a close but before we left Yutori asked us one last thing in English

 

Yutori: Which do you love me or chizuru!? (omg it was the cutest thing ever i regret not recording)

 

Chizuru: *Just puts his head face down on the table laughing*

 

We all replied You!

 

Yutori: Oh Thank You!

 

We all said goodbye and the Q & A ended.

Who is their inspiration as musicians?

[smilesxchibi 265]

Mejibray's Q&A was pretty fun. Im sure Pentagon will be great, still deciding if I will be able to go.

Updated with report

[anieresus 270]

Thanks!

[plastic_rainbow 2162]

Thanks for doing this! Yutori is such a cute dork, haha.

[Chi 2624]

they seem legit curious/interested about their fandom in the US. :>

[emmny 4139]

lowkey this is so cute

[Yukimoto 1237]

Haha I loved the report thanks again for writing it up. Hopefully more bands are able to come to the states though. Based off of what he said about having lots of male fans I want to see a live DVD

have you seen him tho

[emmny 4139]

minpha twitter princess tbh

im pretty sure call me got their fame from how fuckin pretty minpha was, he had a pretty huge following even in their indie INDIE days

[yakihiko 1480]

I don't see Minpha as a male anymore. Like, a lot of Jrockers try to look like a female, but none do that as Minpha do.

Also, thank you for report.

[doombox 4421]

That report is adorbs. Thanks so much for writing it up.

[Yukimoto 1237]

When you went to these last 2 events this one and Mejibray, were there alot of people there?

When you went to these last 2 events this one and Mejibray, were there alot of people there?

The MEJIBRAY one was full from the screen to the front door, people barely squeezed in(About 40+ people). As for this one(Pentagon) there wasnt many people, around 20.

[Yukimoto 1237]

Ohh ok I had to work so couldn't make it but was trying to see the likelihood of them actually coming here, which I would assume depends on support if they decided to come, I guess this is for bands in general, but I do wish some would come here... Thanks again

[Zeus 7997]

Moved this topic to the correct forum since it's a live report and not news.

[Chi 2624]

if someone invited them to the US i think they would at least consider it

[NekoMAMA 190]

OMG can't stop laughing at Yutori, adorkable XD Thanks for posting this ♥
