PSP1800 『Vol.14 Reika (D=OUT) x Saga (Alice Nine)』Part 2

Finished translating Part 2 as well. Part 1: here. As usual, this is not a perfect translation. I had to guess at some parts as well so I apologize if there are any mistakes. I really like this interview because they talked about Alice Nine, Jrock Evolution 2012 and drunk Saga stories XD Do take the band/music/soccer bit with a pinch of salt because I am really not sure with those parts so you might find yourself o.O?-ing at whatever I translated ;3 Enjoy~


What is the common point of the bassist......

- That is something that you'll know by the look though (lol).
[Saga] I know right~ (lol). I accidentally brought that up right (lol). Among the Alice Nine members, Tora is probably the most introverted one.
[Reika] Are you serious!? He totally don't look like that!

- That's true. Tora looks sociable right. However, when you talk to him, you'll think, "Ah, he's an introvert......" (lol). He's a stay-at-home type as well.
[Saga] Yep yep (lol). Reika-kun is also the type to change with the effects of alcohol right (lol). I'm also like that. It's said that I'll become an American that I myself can't believe it (lol).
[Reika] Ahahahaha. Ah! Speaking of which, I heard about an episode regarding that some time ago! I heard that during the closing of 『JROCK EVOLUTION 2012』, you got involved with one of the female staff of MAVERICK (the company MUCC, girugamesh and UNiTE are under) and you said, "Oi, you want me to care about you right. Come here~". Then, I heard that the MAVERICK staff around you guys were like "Our company wants someone with the character like Saga-kun!", I laughed so, so much you know (lol).
[Saga] Ah, that's true. Somehow, I don't really remember though. My senpai made me drink, and I was drunk all the time... I hope I didn't do anything disrespectful....




- Today is the sober version but shall we try having a frank talk at a drinking place the next time?
[Reika] Ahahaha. That seems like it's gonna be an amazing thing right!
[Saga] Ah nah, I think the feeling will be different (lol). Wouldn't it all be stuff that cannot be written (lol)?
[Reika] There's that possibility right (lol). But, I have never went drinking 1 on 1 with Saga-san before. We only drank from the seats of the closing parties. But, we are 100% sparkling (lol).

- So it's "absolutely" (lol).
[Reika] Yep yep (lol). But, coming in from there, there was an impression that he was very very easy to alk to.
[Saga] Ah, for me, I'll be like OK once we talked once. Before 『JROCK~』's tour, MUCC's YUKKE-san and SATOchi-san also said the same thing when we had a talk. They said, "It was soo difficult to start talking to you but once we talked, you're the easiest to talk to!". So, bring it on (lol).
[Reika] Ahahaha. Okay! I will, from now on too (lol).
[Saga] Somehow, even when I myself look in the mirror, I'll think so too. I'll be like, "Ahh, such a tough, gloomy and unfriendly face~" (lol).
[Reika] Ahahahaha (explosive laughter - LOL)
[Saga] And then, during 『JROCK~』, because UNiTE's Haku-kun had the same look on his face like as I did so without thinking, I tried talking to him. I said, "Did anyone told you that you seem to be 'tough' or 'gloomy' ? And you're actually not gloomy?" (lol).
[Reika] Ahahahaha (LOL). It's the first time you guys talked and you asked him that (lol)!?
[Saga] Yep (lol). But then, he said, "Ah, yes. People do say that. And, I'm actually gloomy". I said, "Welll!" and from there we hit it off.
[Reika] Ahahaha. That was really interesting!
[Saga] Somehow, you look like you are easy to get along with. You seem to be able to get along with friends of about the age of high schoolers and you are also able to talk about serious stuff. I think that's good.
[Reika] I'm just being mischievious though!
[Saga] Oh (lol)!? But, really, you have the erotic air. I've already thought so from a long time ago.


- Even for guys, you feel that about the same sex right. It seemed like there are such things for girls too.
[Reika] Ah, I don't know about me though (lol). You feel that I'm erotic?
[Saga] Yep yep. I even feel the pheromes.
[Reika] Ah, that, I don't want to hear it from you! Aren't you the one to be in charged of sexiness! I'm no match for you, you know!
[Saga] Nah, I don't know when did I became the one to be in charged of that but there is no such thing (lol). Somehow, I seem to have that image that I have a weird tendency to behave in a certain way though (lol).
[Reika] Ahahaha. But, that's because all bassists in general are perverts.
[Saga] Yep yep, that's right.
[Reika] It feels like you are right in the middle (lol). I am a person who chose the bass out of the many instruments. I think I'm really a pervert. Did you ever wonder, 'why did I chose that?'
[Saga] Yup, that's true. The bassists that I've met up till now, rather than saying that they are perverts, I feel like I can understand them. There are probably a lot of people who are like, 'even though you draw a step back, when you go out, you go out properly!'. If I were to give soccer as an example, you can say it's something like the midfielder. I'll be like, 'aren't there many people who are like, I'll defend, but I'll attack!'

- Yep. They are basically the defensive. However, when they attack, they attack properly.
[Saga] Yup yup. But, Reika-kun in general is attacking right, your sounds too.
[Reika] Yeah, I'm going to the front line (lol).

- The guitar attacks but the bass also has defending parts so it's connected to tolerance as well right.
[Saga] That's what I think. But for our band, all of us always try to fit our sounds too much so I also think that we should review that. I'm thinking it would be good if we could change our playing with the respective parts that should be out, should be out properly, the parts that should be drawn back be drawn back. 
[Reika] I see. But, Alice Nine has already changed a lot right. I think it's a really good way of changing. When I played in my previous band, apart from looking up to THE YELLOW MONKEY-san, needless to say for visual-kei but when I decided to do a visual-kei band with D=OUT, I thought of learning about visual-kei and the first thing I knew about it was Alice Nine. To me, right in the middle of visual-kei was Alice Nine.
[Saga] Serious!? It was like that!
[Reika] Yes.
[Saga] Mmm, at that time Alice Nine probably didn't suddenly become a band. I think we became a band after some time. Even for our style, I think we were prince-like in the past. When I kept quiet about it, I keep getting that sort of make-up (lol) but in reality, I'm totally not a prince ok. That included, there were times that the image was totally different from myself. The band had such times and while time passed, we're becoming the style which we really wanna do/have.
[Reika] I see. That was somewhat a good talk right. We should really go drinking next time!
[Saga] Yeah.
[Reika] Didn't you said previously that you wanna do a gathering of PSC's bassists? That, let's do that!
[Saga] Ah, I said that right! I wanna do that. Shall we do that? Next time! Well then, we'll include that and go drinking?
[Reika] Yes! I'll invite you ok!
[Saga] Thanks. Looking forward to it!
[Reika] Thank you so much for today!

Thank you for reading :DD

PSP1800 『Vol.14 Reika (D=OUT) x Saga (Alice Nine)』Part 1

Soooooo... I attempted to translate this super long interview. I'm really sorry for the mistakes here and there because my Japanese is really not that good but I figured this would be a pretty good practise and if you happen to want to know the gist of what are they talking about, happy reading!

P/S: Sometimes I do a little guessing because I just can't form the sentence to express what were they saying ;3 Many apologies for that again! * is for the parts that I am < 50% sure xP

With my nonsense aside, here I present you Part 1 of the PSP 1800 series : Reika (D=OUT) x Saga (Alice Nine)!


Times when the band is boring!? "How can it be" frank talk

 - About this talk, there is no particular purpose.
[Saga] Seems so (lol).
[Reika] I heard about it but it really seemed like it (lol).

- Ahahaha. So it has already became a rumour (lol).
[Saga] Yep. The people who have done this told me stuff and I was looking forward to when was I going to be called (lol). Thanks for calling me (lol).
[Reika] No no. Thank you so much for coming!
[Saga] What does everyone talks about?

- Taizo (Kra) and Reno (ViViD) had a maniacal guitar talk but, Taizo and yuji (SuG) talked about their favourite food.
[Saga] Har!? Favourite food!? Then I can talk about anything at all isn't it (lol). Speaking of which, for that sort of topic, you don't even have to do it here (lol).

- You said you heard stuff, it's the good stuff about this talk right (lol).
[Saga] Ah, it's the opposite (lol). What did you talked about?
[Reika] Somehow, various things but, I only talked about liking NAO-san (lol).
[Saga] Are you serious!? Ahahaha. That's nice, somehow it's becoming fun (lol). Well then, what should we talk about today?
[Reika] What should we talk about (lol).
[Saga] As Alice Nine and D=OUT's common point, our producer is the same yeah.
[Reika] Yeah, it's Okano Hajime-san.


- Okano-san is famous for rarely praising people but I heard he praised Reika.
[Saga] Eh!? Serious!? That's considerably rare!
[Reika] That's what I heard. Ah, that makes me happy!
[Saga] Okano-san is a really picky person yeah.
[Reika] Right.
[Saga] I'm also on the picky side so there are times we have clashes. We don't praise each other so we clash pretty much. However, I think that's a good thing too. Okano-san has a strong bassist temperament but I, should I say that I am not really picky with the bass (lol).
[Reika] Ah, seems so! I've heard that when Saga-san is doing pre-production, he doesn't play the bass and looks at the entire thing.
*[Saga] That's right. I bring all my parts through step recording to the extent that someone said to me "What kind of part are you!?". Nobody said anything about the guitars and drums. They are very, very picky about that (lol).
[Reika] Instead of saying 'bassist temperament', it's more like 'artiste temperament' right.
[Saga] That's true. At the very moment D=OUT joined Tokuma Japan, I happened to listen to your very first single's demo. At that time, I really liked Reika-kun's bass, you know. I was surprised that it was really well arranged and the bass was really played right. I realized that this person was playing the bass completely different from me and it immediately made me interested.
*[Reika] Whether it's good or bad, I won't let myself be surprised with the sounds that I produced myself. My personality is that I really want to produce my own sounds. I think it's 'such a troublesome personality' though (lol). When I think that way, it's the complete opposite right. Are you the main composer?
[Saga] Nope, everyone is composing lately so our style is changing again. Now, for my own mode, compared to composing, I'd like to go to school.
[Reika] School!?
[Saga] Yep. Somehow, I wanna try studying stuff like music theories. You are composing songs too right? What sort of songs do you compose?
[Reika] Basic dark ones.
[Saga] Dark ones!?
[Reika] Yeah (lol). Dark ones (lol). That's why I can't compose exciting* intense songs. I keep writing dark ballads or medium type songs.
[Saga] Hehh~. Where are your music roots from?
[Reika] The entering of rock was THE YELLOW MONKEY-san.
[Saga] I see.
[Reika] What about you?
[Saga] Me? I probably basically only listened to LUNA SEA-san for visual-kei. They have a really manly image right. It's the visual-kei inside of me. That's why, I only went about that for visual-kei. And then, most of it were Western music. I can't really narrow down the genre because I listen too much on a wide range.
[Reika] I see.
[Saga] Somehow, I wonder if my composing is maniacal. Even though recording companies accept it, it's not good? (lol)



- No no, but it's good that the industry accepts it.
[Saga] I'm happy but when you ask if is it 'salable music'? , I feel that it isn't. I'll think that if I'm the recording company, I'll be like 'Hmm'.
[Reika] It's a really difficult problem right. I have times that I think that way.
[Saga] I know right. You know, being frank, playing in a band, don't you have times that you think it's boring?

- Ahahaha. You are being too frank (lol).
[Reika] As expected of a free talk (lol).
[Saga] No no (lol). During the time when I composed songs, focusing on myself as the main composer, I felt that band really became boring. I myself didn't understand it too but I often felt that way. And I thought, at this rate, I should quit the band. From there, somehow or other, I focused on composing and went that way.

- During 『VANDALIZE』?
[Saga] Yep yep. Precisely at that moment. None? That sort of thing.
[Reika] Hmm~ There's none now though.
[Saga] Well, I guess it's because D=OUT properly says the things that should be said and discussions move forward right.
[Reika] Yeah. Our vocalist makes it clear that for melodies that he doesn't want to sing, he'll say that he doesn't want to sing. I'm the same too. For the songs that I don't want to play, I'll say it clearly that I don't want to play and there are still so many things I want to do. What about Alice Nine? Won't you guys clash?
[Saga] We'll clash.. We tend to become live coals quite a lot (lol).
[Reika] Ah, I become live coals quite a lot too (lol). For that we're the same yeah (lol). But, I think that's a good thing. I think to have a colluding atmosphere is not that good and it's important to occassionally have that stinging atmosphere. That's why, when I feel that way, I'll drop live coals on purpose.
[Saga] I see. Do you guys come to rehearsal on time?
[Reika] We do. Our vocalist is a really athelete-type so he's very strict with lateness right from the start. At the rehearsal studio too, when you're late five minutes, he'll say "You're 5 minutes late!". That and the strict prohibition to be late took root right from the beginning when we formed.
[Saga] Amazing!

- Who is it? Alice Nine's person who is always late.
[Saga] Hmm? Alice Nine? Everyone (lol). Probably only Nao-san, he won't be late (lol). Ah no, we're really hopeless (lol). Compared to that, D=OUT is incredible, because we are really sloppy you know~. I think you or Kouki-kun will flip out if you guys are with my members (lol).
[Reika] Hehh~ I totally can't imagine. Somehow you guys are really mysterious (lol).

- Somehow Alice Nine seems to have that sort of image.
[Saga] People always seem to tell us that (lol). But that's totally not the case (lol).
[Reika] No no, I go drinking with the rest of the members as well but even if we get along, they are still a mystery.
[Saga] Really? It was a a gathering of really really straightforward people though (lol).
[Reika] Regarding Saga-san, if you don't know the soccer game 『Winning Eleven』, you can't have a conversation with him isn't it? Or something (lol).
[Saga] Ahahahaha. That!? No no no. I have the confidence that I can get along with any type of people (lol). That image is scary (lol). If I'm interested, I'll go too. However, for bass gatherings, even if I was invited, I've never went for it (lol).
[Reika] Let's go the next time!
[Saga] Nah. I don't know what should I talk about. Morever I'm not detailed about the bass (lol).
[Reika] We don't really talk much about the bass you know (lol). Previously, it somehow became a karaoke contest (lol). Recently, I went to the bass gatherings of non visual-kei bands too. That was also interesting! Let's go the next time! Your circle of friends will widen!
[Saga] Ah...... Okay, because you are sociable.
[Reika] No no, I'm really really an introvert! Basically, I'm scared of strangers.
[Saga] No way! You don't look like it!
[Reika] I'm working hard (lol). At such places, I'll borrow the power of alcohol and go like "Yayy!" (lol). I think there are things you'll profit from there (lol).
[Saga] I see...... I don't have the confidence for that though (lol). I'm really really an introvert you see.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I thought Saga was really amusing when he talked about the rest XD If you're gonna take it out, do lemme know, thanks!
