GLAYmeetsL'Arc - tesu (2004/02/17)


Takurou: What is your plan for this year?
Tetsu: u~n..., what shall we do? It's GLAY's 10th anniversary so, we will follow what you do at first.
Takurou: If so, we shall do it together!
Tetsu: hehehe (giggle)
Takurou: Are you free after this summer?
Tetsu: U~m, I'm not sure. I have to ask my manager.
Takurou: Ja, from now, your manager call me first then I'll call all the members of Larc to tell our schedule, okay?
Tetsu: Ek, do you give us a call?
Takurou: Yes.
Tetsu: Are you serious?
Takurou: Of course.
Tetsu: Are you really?
Takurou: If there's someone tend to come late...
Tetsu: Come and pick us up!
Takurou: ... I'll call them 30 mins before. (laugh) and I'll pick you up, too.
Tetsu: Keeping time well...
Takurou: Yes.. de, ano-, this is the 10th anniversary for us so I've often been asked what the most impressive moment we had past 10 years. In your case, what was the moment?
Tetsu: U~m.. what it was....!?
Takurou: I guess you will be asked the same question. Won't you practice it now?
Tetsu: u~~m.. yeah... I was asked too.
Takurou: And also, I was asked the question such as what the thing I lost in the past 10 years.
Tetsu: We've lost so many things, haven't we?
Takurou: Yeah. (laugh) I don't want to say any excuse, so I think deeply to find better answer.
Tetsu: I was gonna say a excuse....
Takurou: Ahahah. Oh, no. Please don't.(laugh)
Tetsu: What should I say?
Takurou: Okay, I'll decide what you should say!
Tetsu: hahaha~~ plse~~
Takurou: Ahahahaha!!
Tetsu: What do you say? (laugh)
Takurou: For us,.... we were dreaming about playing in Budokan.... so... We've been playing so many places but when we played there, ...we got so-- nervous.
Tetsu: You must have felt happy too.
Takurou: Yeah, extremely.
Tetsu: iya~~ that's good answer.
Takurou: fufu! Ja, first Budokan live was your best moment in 10 years, okay?
Tetsu: U~m, for me, I recall the doom live than Budokan live. That was the first live after we stop appearing in the media, ...in the dome! ...so, I remember the live more than the first live in Budokan.
Takurou: .. you touched as much as you couldn't see the 500,000 audience by tears?
Tetsu: Yes!
Takurou: I see~...
Tetsu: hehehe (laugh) That time, Tokyo dome is called "Big Egg", right? We say "we will born again in the egg."
Takurou: Wow! How the audience react?
Tetsu: Hahahaha! They liked it! :
Today's keyword: "Hisashi Yamada"
Tetsu: Yama chan don't call me these days!
Takurou: Yes.. he is busy working as a DJ as well as a talent on TV. Has he ever come to your home?
Tetsu: Oh, yes! No member has come to my place yet, but somehow, he did.
Takurou: Your fans don't want to hear that thing!
tetsu: ha!?
Takurou: Let's say they are coming to your place often. Ak. Does it sounds more thrilling in that way? Okay. They don't come to your place!
Tetsu: U~~m...
Takurou: Ja, even the members of LArc haven't, Yama chan has.
Tetsu: Ye..s, I think his home was close to my home. When we had dinner and some drinks together, he took me home...
Takurou: You took me home once when we had dinner.
Tetsu: Yes, yes! (laugh)
Takurou: Thank you very much. (laugh)
Tetsu: iya,iya... I got remember now!!
Takurou: I have received some requests from listeners asking if we play together. We like having sessions with other bands, for example, we've asked that to Luna Sea, but that time, in 1999, it wasn't easy.
Tetsu: Why?
Takurou: Don't know.. I felt their black power before approaching to them...and then I also felt I would be thrown away from darkness to darkness by the power...
Tetsu: Ahh~~~ our band, too.
Takurou: Your members were busy doing their solo, and hyde kun participated the summer event too, wasn't he?
Tetsu: Ek?
Takurou: Yes, he was.
Tetsu: Ek, ek, a?
Takurou: Last year.
Tetsu: Ah!
Takurou: The summer event. Rockin On Japan.
Tetsu: Ah! haihaihaihai. I know.
Takurou: You hold an event with LArc members, don't you?
Tetsu: Event?
Takurou: You did it last summer.
Tetsu: Ah~~~.... ken chan was doing Bubble fest... in the fest, hyde and yukki were called... but... I wasn't called--!! >_<
Takurou: Shall we go to see them to complain about not calling you? (laugh)
Tetsu: So I went to see that event. In Osaka!
Takurou: Why didn't you join! Since LARc got together again, you often see ken chan right?
Tetsu: Yes.
Takurou: Then...
Tetsu: Then he asked me where I live now.
Takurou: (big laugh) You should have more communications each other!
Tetsu: but he is my oldest friend! We know each other since we were small kids! He is one year older than me. I still call him 'senpai' (senior).
Takurou: Ja, please tell him when he holds next Bubble fest., call up GLAY too, leader?
Tetsu: hek hek... ha~i! He will be very pleased! ne?
Takurou: We've asked to some bands but no band asks us to join their event.
Tetsu: They might feel uneasy to ask you.
Takurou: a. Do we have the same aura?
Tetsu: From darkness to darkness...(laugh)
Takurou: Please don't feel that sort of atmosphere.

Next keyword: What's your thoughts towards .
Tetsu: I wasn't having a rest for 2 1/2 years. It was more hard work. I had to do everything by myself. And it's sad to say but I've treated differently. I'm a bassist of LArc but they didn't really interested in my solo act.
Takurou: Ah~, --
Tetsu: I don't recommend you to be a solo artist! I think it's good you don't allow your member to do solo.
Takurou: Yes. For example, our guitarist Hisashi, what he really wants to do is totally different from GLAY. When we had drink together, I've asked whether he wanted to continue as a member of Glay. (laugh) He sometimes brings music he wrote and says he wants to do the music like that. He does everything. In his demo track, there's no space for my guitar or Jiro's bass. If you do that much, you can take at least a guest vocal in your tune. Please do what you want, I said.
Tetsu: Maji de!?
Takurou: Then he said, "Ja, Teru de.". (want Teru to sing.) If he sings, that's GLAY jan. I felt he takes a balance on his way.
Tetsu: Sokka~.....
Takurou: Ja, while playing a song, plse tell me the name of who has been cold to you.
Tetsu: Oh, no no no...(laugh)
Takurou: I'll tell him off later.
