Reira      : We were so nervous!! We don’t speak much of English, and thought a lot about
                  how to communicate with audience through our music and how we can perform
                  to express our rock spirits.

The memorable experience is

Thunder : By mistake, I took someone else’s luggage from the airport. 
                   When we arrived at the hotel, I realized “oh, it’s not mine”. I went back next day and got mine safely.
Reira       : My leg was caught in the gap on stage during a show in Knoxville.
                   I hit a microphone by my chin pretty bad. Everyday, I got new bruise. 
                   But this means, every show was very exciting and audiences were so powerful!

Taiga      : Everyday, someone offers me a shot, and I feel bad to decline. 

                   But I only get one shot and say “no thank you” –laugh-

First thing I saw in NY
I heart NY t-shirts!  I was like “wow, they are really sold in NY!”  

What was your favorite show among in US tour? 
We enjoy the show more at a small venue.  The atmosphere in those small venues is very intense! 
But depending on the cities, the atmosphere is different. 

Reira       : Jannes Joplin, Cindy Lauper, Nirvana, Sex Pistols.  

Taiga       : Sex Pistols, Robert Johnson.

Kozaken : Motley Crew, Tommy Lee.  

Thunder  : Pearl Jam, Sound Garden.

Reira      : We were thinking what we should do to expand our experience and improve ourselves.
                   by chance, we get a invite from an organizer for the event relating to NYAF.
                   We wanted to challenge how much we can show our rock spirits in the US.  

Taiga      : I came US to prove that music is world’s common language!!

Reira      : We were like “gee, we underestimated how powerful audiences in the US are!!”
                   We had a confidence in our performance since he had many shows in Japan. 
                   But US audiences were so much tougher, and powerful! 
                   They are more willing to interact with us during a show compared to Japanese audiences. 
                   So we change the style of our show so that they can participate and interact with us even
                   by our not-so-perfect-English… Every show, we learn something new from the audience.
