Q: I see.. okay, you've done the film and you've been making songs since last autumn. What's your plan for the year 2003?

H: I'll release a single.

Q: Do you know, when?

H: Er~~~... in spring ? It's almost spring, though.. (smile) I've got a song make it into a single. So, I'll release that one in spring, and I'd like to play live some times. I'm making songs for the live at the moment.

Q: Er!! You wanted to play live so you started to making new songs ?

H: mmm.. no, not like that.. as I'm making it, I'm getting to feel I want to play live.

Q: You haven't played live for more than 2 years, so you've felt like you want to be up on stage again?

H: Yeah.

Q: It's not a tour for Roentgen ?

H: After releasing Roentgen, I felt... that's finished. I couldn't make a sequel to that album. I couldn't move my body either. It was like to force something accumulated inside me for years out at once. I'll do it again when I have to do it in the future, like Olympic game, once every 4 years.

Q: Didn't you realise when you were making it?

H: I noticed a bit but I was not sure until it's all done. I can't keep on making this type of album. If I make a sequel to that album now, what can I say .. it's like pouring more hot water on used tea leaves in a pot. I don't say I can not make it, I just don't feel like it. It's same as the way I listen to the music. I've listened slash metal after listening Cardigans, Duran Duran, and so on. I keep a balance like this.

Q: There's only one side of you in Roentgen?

H: Yes.. I want to have Roentgen tour, some day. Very peaceful one. But I feel I want to do something different right now.

Q: Aggressive one ?

H: Yeah~~. (smile)

Q: Is your new song Rock'n'Roll, then?

H: Yes! It is! (laugh) It's like 'standing' song. Roentgen was like 'not standing', wasn't it ? It was like 'DO NOT STAND!' value. (laugh)

Q: Do you have any plan for your band or memebers for the new songs?

H: I don't know yet but I want to make it simple as possible. I wonder 'How ?' at the moment.

Q: You decided a tour with SOAP before planning your band, then?

H: Yes, I did. (laugh) It should have been more light, friendly tour. (everyone laugh) The last year, I joined in SOAP live when they played in my hometown. I sang some of their songs and some from Roentgen. I had a chance to have a drink with them after that, then that time I was making songs that can enjoy at live, so I said to sakura, 'It'll be great if we can go on a tour together.' Then he said, 'If so, why don't we have a tour in next spring!?' I wasn't serious at all. I said to him, If we do, I want to play in small places where a capacity of 300 people or so. However, .. as you know .. it turned to be a .. (everybody laugh) The capacity is three times bigger than I expected! (laugh) I complained it to my manager, and said 'What's going on !?'

Q: You can only release a single by the tour..

H: So I will go on the tour with only one song.

Q: What about playing some songs from Roentgen, with different arrangement?

H: mmm... I'm not thinking about that now..

Q: Er! You're going to play all new songs then?

H: Yes! I'm not aiming to try to engage my fans. It's like 'I go running now, so follow me!'

Q: Yeah!

H: They don't know what's going to happen. Even don't know the song. In that case, I feel... it'd be the best, if the live is cool (kakkoii) ? If they thought the live was cool, they'd look forward to the album's coming out. I hope.

Q: Is there any song you would dive to the audience?

H: I think there is. But to dive, the fans got to have a strength to hold me. When I joined in SOAP live, they had to stop playing each song. I can't play like that. So I hope it's going to be different.

Q: Are you looking forward to the tour?

H: Yes! I am! But I've become more serious about making songs right now.. *sweat*

Q: LArc is still not activated.. it's not usual that the part of the members go on a tour together.

H: Yeah. It doesn't happen so often. It's all started when we were on alcohol. (everybody laugh)

Q: Someone guessed that hyde/SOAP might play together on the same stage...

H: Ah.. mmm... Yes, I've heard that the rumour...

Q: Wow! (laugh) Anyway, we can meet you on the screen as well as on stage in May.

H: Yes. It's a coincidence, though.

Q: What about an album ? When do you release it ?

H: It's probably in summer. I'm not sure yet.

Q: Do you want to have a tour after that ?

H: Oh, yes. I want to make this year of doing lives!
