Translation : SHOXX 2004.08 vol 138
Oh boy, I've been dying to post this one! This was their very first interview in a publication as a band... just before they'd added the dot to the end of their band name! The guys haven't lost their sense of humour over the course of 14 years, that's for damn sure. :p
SHOXX 2004.08 vol 138 - "alicenine"
A ‘Customer Is King’ Mentality
With these guys being mentioned in “SHOKKUN’s quick gossip” corner in last month’s issue of SHOXX, you didn’t let them go unnoticed. Good eyes!!
That being said, despite the fact that they only just formed in April 2004, alicenine is a band we anticipate having a flood of questions for, and this is their first appearance in our magazine.
Just like the band’s name, the members’ individual personalities carry a lot of impact.
And this summer they’ll release that longed-for 1st CD.
alicenine is a band you won’t be able to look away from.
Nao-san, you were central to the formation of the band, weren’t you?
Nao: Saga-kun and I spoke about forming a band together because we shared the same attitude and viewpoint. When we were searching for other band members afterwards, we met Show-kun and Tora-kun. Then Nao, the elder old man, went to the mountain to gather firewood, and when he did, Hiroto emerged from within a shining stalk of bamboo. Like a blessing from heaven.
That last part is a questionable development, but… (laugh)
