Re: New single “New World”
Q: What was your first impression of “New world”?
TETSU: I presumed it would be selected for a single. We spent for recording quite long time, so the impression of the song is different... The first impression of the song was up-tempo, fast and positive.
Q: Have you tried several approaches?
TETSU: I only tried playing kakkoii bass for the song.
Q: Your bass play was at the interval...
TETSU: I guess everyone was thinking someone gonna do something in that part of the tune... (laugh) The idea came up to my mind when we were recording of my bass line so I played like that... If I didn’t do anything, it might have been sound of a guitar in that part.
Q: Did you get any request from yukihiro san?
TETSU: No. I played as usually I do.
Q: You spent a lot of time to create the new album. Was it any effect as a whole?
TETSU: It has advantages and disadvantages. We felt more relaxed because we didn’t need to take many songs in one day. No taking of bass line for consecutive 10 days. It gives me stressed.
Q: You play different instrument in the c/w song. It’s cool.
TETSU: Isn’t it? There are opinions on my singing (laugh) though...it’s important whether we enjoy playing it nor not.
Q: What is the new album sounds like?
TETSU: It sounds cool. (laugh) There are many types of tunes in the album.. as usual …(laugh) You can’t predict only listening one single… it's as usual too? (laugh)
Q: You have releasing singles one after the other in short period of time lately…
TETSU: Releasing new song before the previous one has not been listened enough… I guess it might be hard to keep up for our fans but our schedule is tight this year …
Q: You’ve played in America last year and you will be playing in Korea and China this year, right?
TETSU: Yes. We wanted to play in overseas too but there were problems with bringing our equipments and sort of things. The problems were sorted so we can go overseas. For me, it is like an extension of Japan tour.
