When talking about band is boring, let’s talk about honesty “is it possible” ?
— this dialogue doesn’t have any theme
[Saga] Looks like it (lol)
[Reika] That’s what I’ve heard, but it seems to be true (lol)
—Ahahaha. Already become a gossip ? (lol)
[Saga] Yes. I heard stories from those who already did this, then I thought when is my turn going to be and having fun (lol). Thank you for inviting me (lol)
[Reika] No, no. Thank you for coming !
[Saga] What kind of conversation that the others did ?
—Taizo (Kra) and Reno (ViViD) were talking about guitar maniac, but Taizo and Yuji (SuG) were talking about favorite foods.
[Saga] Huh !? Favorite foods !? If it’s like that anything would do, right ? (lol). No need to do that kind of talk here (lol)
—To be able to have that kind of conversation, it could be said this dialogue is the right place to do so (lol)
[Saga] Ah, the opposite nee (lol). What kind of conversation you have done ?
[Reika] Quite a lot, but I only like NAO-san’s part of conversation (lol)
[Saga] Seriously !? Ahahaha. That’s good, I feel really glad (lol). If that so, today what are we going to talk about ?
[Reika] Anything (lol)
[Saga] Alice Nine and D-OUT have the same producer generally, right ?
[Reika] Yes. Okano Hajime-san.
—Okano-san is famous for being rarely praising others, I heard he praised Reika.
[Saga] Eh!? Seriously !? That’s very cool !
[Reika] That’s what I’ve heard. No, I feel very happy !
[Saga] Because Okano-san is a very picky person.
[Reika] Yes.
[Saga] Because I’m also a very picky person, sometimes there were things come all at once. Because I can’t ignore them, in the end they collide with one another. But I think it’s a good thing. Okano-san has a very strong bassist character, but me, maybe it could be said that I’m not too picky about bass (lol)
[Reika] Ah, looks like it ! I’ve heard that during pre-production Saga-san wasn’t playing his bass but looking around everything.
[Saga] That’s true. I brought all my parts during that time, until there’s someone asked me, “Which part are you ?!”, and there’s no one saying anything about guitar and drums. I’m very picky about that part (lol).
[Reika] It’s more suitable to be called as an artist’s characteristic instead of bassist nee.
[Saga] True. Soon after D-OUT join with Tokuma Japan, I’ve heard your very first single demo. At that time, I really interested with the way Reika-kun played his bass. I was surprised that your playing was really well arranged, and very accurate. I thought that the way you played your bass was different with me, and that made me interested.
[Reika] Good or bad, I’m not going to let myself running away from the sound I’ve produced. It has becomes my characters to produce my own sound. Though sometimes I thought “it’s a really tough character” (lol). When thinking like that, it’s kinda the opposite character of a player nee. Saga-san is the main composer ?
[Saga] No, because recently each of us are also making songs, it can be said the style is changing again. This time, personally, I prefer to go to school than making songs.
[Reika] school !?
[Saga] Yes. I want to try to learn music in theory. Reika-kun is also makin song, right ? What kind of songs ?
[Reika] Basically I’m a moody person.
[Saga] Moody, nee!?
[Reika] Yes (lol) Moody (lol). That’s why I rarely making songs with intense beats. I only write dark ballad songs or the medium type.
[Saga] Hee. Reika-kun’s songs are coming from where ?
[Reika] Because of THE YELLOW MONKEY, it’s rock music.
[Saga] Oh I see.
[Reika] How about Saga-san ?
[Saga] Me ? For visual kei because basically only listened to LUNASEA. They really have manly image. That’s the kind of visual kei in me. That’s why I could only depend on visual kei. Also western music. I’ve listened to too many music with a wide range, that’s why I can’t describe them by genre.
[Reika] Oh, I see.
[Saga] I don’t why, it feels that my music is too maniac. Though most of them were accepted by the record company, were those not good ? (lol).
—No, no. But it’s good that the industry could accept them, right ?
[Saga] Though happy, but it didn’t feel like the “music for sale” kind of thing. If I’m the employee of a music record company, probably I would answer “ngg” and think about it all over again.
[Reika] That’s very difficult, right ? I also have the same kind of thought.
[Saga] Right, nee. It felt, honestly, have you ever thought that being in band is boring ?
—Ahahaha. You’re being blunt (lol)
[Reika] Great free talk (lol)
[Saga] No, no (lol). Before when I was focusing myself as the main composer, I really felt that being in a band is boring. Though I didn’t understood myself, I often think like that. If I keep being like this, I thought about quitting from the band. From that moment, I was focusing myself to make songs and quickly diverted myself from that kind of thought.
—During “VANDALIZE” ?
[Saga] Yes, that’s right. During that time. No ? Well …
[Reika] Ngg. I see. But it’s not like that anymore, right ?
[Saga] Looks like D-OUT is talking about something seriously and your discussion can make some progress, right ?
[Reika] True, our vocalist will make it clear if there’s any melody that he doesn’t want to sing, he will said he won’t sing it. Same thing like me, I’m also going to tell if there’s a song that I don’t want to play, and because I have other things that I want to do. How about Alice Nine ?
[Saga] We’ll be collided with each other. We still often get on fire (lol)
[Reika] Ah, I sometime also could get on fire (lol). We’re the same in this (lol). But to me this is good. In my opinion it’s not good to be involved in the atmosphere like that, and very important if once in a while getting involve with the problem. That’s why when I feel like that, I accidentally turn the fire on.
[Saga] I see. Do you guys always come on time during rehearsal ?
[Reika] Yes, because our vocalist is an athlete typical , from the very beginning he’s really strict about lateness. Even during rehearsal, though it’s only 5 mins he’s going to said “you’re late for 5 mins !”. That’s why there’s also a strict rule that forbid us for coming late since the very beginning.
[Saga] That’s cool !
—In Alice Nine, who the culprit that always shows up late ?
[Saga] Ng ? Alice Nine ? All of us (lol) because only Nao-san is the only one who’s definitely not going to be late (lol) No, we’re really bad nee (lol) compares with it, D-OUT is really cool. We’re really reckless. If Reika-kun and Kouki-kun are our band members, I think both of you are going to be the opposite (lol)
[Reika] Eeh. Really ? I never imagine that. It feels like, all of you are mysterious (lol)
—Somehow Alice Nine ended up with that kind of image, right ?
[Saga] Lots of people say the same thing (lol). But, it’s not like what you think (lol)
[Reika] No, No. I was invited to drink together with other Alice Nine’s member, and even though we already know each other quite close, still they’re a mystery.
[Saga] Really ? Actually, we are a bunch of people that easy to be understood (lol)
[Reika] In Saga-san’s case, if you don’t know soccer game “Winning Eleven”, you’re not going to be able to start a conversation with him. That’s for example (lol).
[Saga] Ahahahaha. Whut !? No, no, no. I’m the kind of person who can make good friend with different types of people (lol) Image is scary, right (lol). Overall, If I’m interested, I will come. But when there’s a meeting for bassist, I’m still not going to come even though I’m invited (lol)
[Reika] Next time, let’s go !
[Saga] No. I don’t know what to talk about. Anyway, I don’t quite understand the conversation about bass (lol)
[Reika] We’re not talking about bass all the time (lol). Sometimes it becomes like a karaoke contest (lol). Because recently, I came to a non visual-kei genre meeting for bassist. It was fun ! Let’s go together next time ! You’re going to meet lot of people !
[Saga] Hmm…… ok, because Reika-kun is a socialize person.
[Reika] No, no. I’m an introvert ! Basically the type of person who shut down themselves to strangers.
[Saga] Liar ! You don’t look like that !
[Reika] I’m trying hard (lol). During that kind of situation, I borrow the power from sake. I think there an advantage that we could take for there (lol)
[Saga] I see …. I feel I’m not confident (lol). That’s why I’m also an introvert.
General feature of a bassist …
—Seeing the meaning certainly understand (lol)
[Saga] Yes (lol). In the end that kind of topic shows up (lol). Amongst Alice Nine’s members, maybe Tora is the most introvert one.
[Reika] Really !? It doesn’t look like that !
—True. Tora seems very good in socializing. But, when he talks it really looks like “Ahh, he’s an introvert …”(lol)
[Saga] Yes, yes (lol). Reika-kun is type of person who could change because of sake ( alcohol ), right ? I’m also the same (lol). When I don’t feel confident enough, I’ll become an American (lol)
[Reika] Ahahahaha. Ah! By the way, I’ve heard about things which is connected to the last episode. During final party “JROCK EVOLUTION 2012”, when gathered with female staffs from Maverick ( management artist od MUCC, Giguramesh, UNiTE), they said,”Hey ! Come and join us”. Then, I heard from the Maverick staffs around me said,” I wanted someone like Saga-kun’s characters to join in our office !”, at that time I really wanted to laugh (lol)
[Saga] Ah, right. I didn’t recall any memory about it, but when senior told me to drink, and really got drunk. I think I didn’t do something impolite, right ?
—Today maybe both of you are not drunk, but next time how about we try honest dialogue in a bar ?
[Reika] Ahahaha. That’s going to be awesome !
[Saga] Don’t. Because the pressure is different (lol). And in the end the conversation can’t be written, right ? (lol)
[Reika] Maybe (lol). But I never had a change to drink with Saga-san face to face. Seating place during the final party just for drinks only. But, definitely 100% is going to have splash (lol)
—“Definitely”, right ? (lol)
[Reika] Right, right (lol). But if started from that moment, it looked like a person who really easy to talk
[Saga] Ah, for me it’s no problem talking for the first time. Before tour “JROCK~”, when talking with YUKKE-san and Satochi-san from MUCC both saying the same thing. “It’s difficult to start a conversation, but the best way to start it is to speak up”. That’s why little by little we could reach it (lol)
[Reika] Ahahahaha. Yes! From now on, little by little could reach it (lol)
[Saga] It feels like seeing my own self in the mirror also like that. I think,”Look stiff, gloomy, unreachable face”(lol).
[Reika] Ahahahaha (LOOL)
[Saga] then, during “JROCK~”, because I know Haku-kun from UNiTE also having the same kind of face like me, I decided to talk to him. I said,”Have anyone told you that you look stiff or gloomy ? Then the truth are you gloomy or not ?”(lol)
[Reika] Ahahahaha (LOOL). On a first conversation you already said something like that ? (lol)
[Saga] Yes (lol). But, he answered,” Ah, yes. Someone had said that. Then, the truth is I’m gloomy”. (lol) I said,”See !”, and with that there’s some kind of mutual understanding.
[Reika] Ahahaha. That’s very interesting !
[Saga] Reika-kun seems easy to socialize. During senior high it felt easy to socialize with friends, and could talk about anything like my true characters. I think it’s good.
[Reika] But I’m not naughty (lol)
[Saga] Aah, so it appears the erotic situation, right ?
[Reika] Ah, well that’s not a mischief (lol)
[Saga] Eh, really ?? (lol). But it’s true, I feel that Reika-kun has an erotic aura ! That’s what I think for quite sometimes.
—Males will also feel the same with the same gender. Even females feel it too.
[Reika] No, I don’t quite understand about it (lol). Am I erotic ?
[Saga] Yes, Yes. Because your pheromone is strong.
[Reika] No, I don’t want Saga-san said something like this ! If talking about sexy, Saga-san is more expert, I’m nothing !
[Saga] No, since when I became an expert in this kind of thing, but that’s not it (lol). But it seems that I have an image about having strange habits (lol)
[Reika] Ahahaha. But, bassist is basically abnormal, all of them, right ?
[Saga] True, it seems like that.
[Reika] But I feel like Saga-san is being the center (lol). Amongst instruments, I felt that I was choosen by an instrument called bass. That’s why I thought, that’s an abnormal. “Why choosen ?” Have you ever think about it ?
[Saga] Yes, it’s true. Because I could understand whether the bassist I met so far could be called abnormal. Maybe I’m like anybody else. If soccer taken as example, the position is midfielder, doing both defense and attack.
—Yes, basically having a passive attitude ? But when doing an attack, really making an attack move, right ?
[Saga] Yes. But Reika-kun basically is an attacker, even in sound
[Reika] True. I’m at the forefront (lol)
—If guitar could only be use to attack, but bass not only to protect but also to unify tolerance, right ?
[Saga] I thought so too. But, in my band, we always try to act equal. From there we’re going to review which one need to be fixed. Each and anyone of us complemented each other, we learn from each other to be a better musician
[Reika] I see. But Alice Nine is changing quite a lot. For me it’s a very good way to change. When first joining the band, I really idolized THE YELLOW MONKEY, and I was very far away from visual-kei. When deciding to join visual-kei band D-OUT, and when I learned about visual-kei for the first time I knew Alice Nine. When I think about visual-kei, the one in the middle position is Alice Nine.
[Saga] Really ?? I see !
[Reika] Yes.
[Saga] Ngg, but during that time Alice Nine still wasn’t a band. It took time, and little by little changed and became a true band. Even in style, I thought we used to have style like Princes, and even when I stayed silent, still be given that kind of make up (lol). During that time, we were not Princes. About that, there’s time where the image and me were completely different. Band sometimes experienced time like this, it took time to make a form that wanted.
[Reika] Yes, true. This has become a very good conversation. I think next time we should go out and have drink together !
[Saga] Yes.
[Reika] Saga-san, you said that you wanted to have a meeting for bassist in PS (office), right ? Let’s make one !
[Saga] Ah, I did say something like that, right ? I really want to do it. Next time ! In that case including this, let’s have some drink.
[Reika] Ok ! I’ll call you !
[Saga] Thank you. Yoroshiku !
[Reika] Thank you for today !
沙我（Alice Nine）×ルイ(SCREW) will appear on the next volume

[Reika] I see. But Alice Nine is changing quite a lot. For me it’s a very good way to change. When first joining the band, I really idolized THE YELLOW MONKEY, and I was very far away from visual-kei. When deciding to join visual-kei band D-OUT, and when I learned about visual-kei for the first time I knew Alice Nine. When I think about visual-kei, the one in the middle position is Alice Nine.
[Saga] Really ?? I see !
[Reika] Yes.
[Saga] Ngg, but during that time Alice Nine still wasn’t a band. It took time, and little by little changed and became a true band. Even in style, I thought we used to have style like Princes, and even when I stayed silent, still be given that kind of make up (lol). During that time, we were not Princes. About that, there’s time where the image and me were completely different. Band sometimes experienced time like this, it took time to make a form that wanted.
[Reika] Yes, true. This has become a very good conversation. I think next time we should go out and have drink together !
[Saga] Yes.
[Reika] Saga-san, you said that you wanted to have a meeting for bassist in PS (office), right ? Let’s make one !
[Saga] Ah, I did say something like that, right ? I really want to do it. Next time ! In that case including this, let’s have some drink.
[Reika] Ok ! I’ll call you !
[Saga] Thank you. Yoroshiku !
[Reika] Thank you for today !
沙我（Alice Nine）×ルイ(SCREW) will appear on the next volume
