Selective translated English snippets of Mikiki's interview on SWEET MOONLIGHT
Mikiki today published an interview that they did with the guys in conjunction with tomorrow's official release of SWEET MOONLIGHT .
As with all translations , everything is not 100% accurate give or take .
- DAIGO described SWEET MOONLIGHT as a collaboration between Conan and BREAKERZ rather than a tie-up
Song's lyrics & composition
DAIGO wrote the lyrics with the theme of where people can't meet their loved ones physically
DAIGO felt that SWEET MOONLIGHT expresses the good parts of BREAKERZ so far and the new parts of the future BREAKERZ
AKIHIDE was in charge of the guitar solo in the 2nd part of the song
B-side - Silent Rain
DAIGO suggested AKIHIDE writes Silent Rain & SHINPEI composes the song as this's something both of them have not done together before , until now
Silent Rain is described as a sad ballad & a new challenge the guys undertook for their 15th anniversary
B-side - Tsukiyo no Itazura no Mahou -Acoustic Version-
DAIGO really like Miyakawa Airi's Reboot which was used as the ending theme no. before SWEET MOONLIGHT replaced it
DAIGO felt that Airi Miyakawa's singing voice was wonderful so he requested for a guest vocalist to be featured in the acoustic version of Tsukiyo no Itazura no Mahou
Tsukiyo no Itazura no Mahou was chosen to get re-recorded acoustic style in keeping up with the Moon related theme of the new single
It was the 1st time for DAIGO to be a secondary vocalist in a song & he didn't sung many portions of Tsukiyo no Itazura no Mahou -Acoustic Version- (xD)
SWEET MOONLIGHT is sung from a male perspective while Tsukiyo no Itazura no Mahou is sung from a female perspective
Secret(s) of BREAKERZ continuing on for 15 years
DAIGO uses the analogy of a ship to describe BREAKERZ . The 3 of them are the crew members & each of them has a different role . 1 drives the ship , the other looks at the navigation system & SHINPEI is in charge of cleaning the ship (LOL)
SHINPEI - Sometimes he don't know where he might end up so when that happens, the other 2 will take control over matters & he's glad that the teamwork in the group is good
AKIHIDE - He felt that BREAKERZ has come this far because each of them recognise each other as being different & as a result new ideas can be generated in the group
*Randomly*
DAIGO - He asked AKIHIDE to cosplay Blouson Chiemi during VAMPS' HALLOWEEN PARTY 2017 & it's okay for the three of then to enjoy everything
AKIHIDE - He didn't think that dressing up in drag is so much fun (looool)
