part 6...the press meet...
cont. from part 5...
so finally it starts... only yuki (yukihiro - acid android), tatsuro (mucc), and miya (mucc) were there at the meeting... there was a host and a interpreter on stage... while the rest of us (fans & media) look on from below... i think there was about a little over 100 of us...
i'm really no good with cameras (actually i'm not good with any technology/gadgets), so my pics are all quite blurry.. also i didn't want to see them through my camera all the time, i'm there so i want to look at them with my eyes ^^, so i only took a few pics... (on the other hand, i know this might sound lame, but i really think i already have the 'best pictures' stored in my head... *is shot*)
the 3 of them (yuki, miya, tatsuro) all looking quite cool... but just a personal preference: i like tatsuro without hat ^^!!... but he's still cute like this...
miya answering a question... i think they all pretty much answer the same amount of questions individually, i.e. mucc as a group answer nearly twice as much as yuki...
i couldn't remember most of the questions, i think they were there nearly the full hour, so there were quite a lot of questions... not surprisingly, it's the stupid ones i remembered the most....
some of the questions are quite boring, ie we've heard it a zillion times eg...
yuki, do you prefer being a drummer (in l'arc) or a vocalist (in a.a.) ?
>o< i think every single time he is interviewed by a 'new' media, this question comes up...
yuki's answer : (was the same as every other time, of cos!) that they are 2 completely different thing, and that he enjoys doing both...
or really dumb questions like...
mucc, since yuki was here with l'arc last year, did you ask him about his experience performing in shanghai? and did he give you any advice about the playing to the shanghai crowd?
WTF!!... l'arc performed in the shanghai stadium, with a crowd of 10,000 long awaited fans - we are talking about a band that has been around 15 years, and 11 years since their major debut... while mucc is going to perform in a livehouse, with a crowd of 500, which about half of them are not really there to see them but to see acid android, and even with over 200 strong fans, they are all relatively new, since mucc had only been around for 9 years, and major debuted just 3 years ago... how on earth is yuki suppose to advice them?!! TAT
tatsuro's answer: that he haven't really got a chance to ask yuki yet, but they talked about it a little before this meeting start... (well answered, tatsuro !!)
or embarassing questions like...
mucc, i understand that sakura, ex-larc drummer, had worked with you guys in some of your albums, would you be working with him in future albums?
OMGWTF??!! ...first of all, yuki is sitting right there...he had also worked with mucc (see credits in the album 'kuchiki no to')... and 2ndly, sakura is now in a band, soap (also in danger crue), with ken (current larc member, which he had also worked with mucc, see credits in 'homura uta', 'zeku', 'kuchiki no to), so no need to say ex-larc drummer, when they could simply say soap member (see credits in 'zeku', 'kuchiki no to' and 'houyoku')... *shakes head*
their answer: (after a pause) that sakura san was a great help, he also helped out in the up coming album ('6', 5 more days before it's release), and they may or may or may not work with him in the future... (*claps*)
but my favourite one is this...
mucc, what is your first impression of your shanghai fans, especially the girls?
miya: (looks at us) they are powerful LOL... (*dies*)
tatsuro: LOL, yeah, i'm impressed with their powerful voices (LOL from fans), and we would show them a powerful performance tomorrow night to thank their support... (cheers from fans)
the girl in white (on the right side of tatsuro) is the 'host', and the other one (furthest right) is the interpreter...
cont. next time...
