** Conversation with (O) Oofuruton Souta, ex drummer from Oblivion Dust

(O) How was Korea?

(Together) NICE!!! (^o^)

(O) I was thinking how was Imai-kun? the one who rather take Shinkansen than fly to Hakata (a town in Fukouka, Kyushu). Was he ok?

For Imai-kun, he would not take plane to any destination within Japan so long as there's train reaching there, but the staff told him: sorry, this time has to be on plane. Immediately he lost his mood and started talking nonsence..i couldn't remember though what he said ^_^

How was the schedule?

Terrible! the live was right after the day we arrived. Morover it rained heavily. Such 'rebal' rain only stops after we come back.

(O) No typhoon?

No it was like a squall.

(O) So it was like what happended to us last time, (Oblivion Dust too had took part in some musical event in Korea, it was terminated due to the heavy rain) only a few souls were left at the venue.

Really? Was that the same event as ours? What name was that event?

(O) I'd forgotten (^_^). Maybe it was the same event...

How was the audience?

Like the previous campagne, there were people waiting at the airport. However there were also some who know nothing about Buck-Tick stopped by just wanted to take a look on what's happening.

(O) Doing live there meaning people get to hear both Japan and Korea rock at once.

...and there must be many who wanted to see Buck-Tick.

One the other hand, it became exciting to the members. Last time during our London trip, we performed in front of strangers who know zero about Buck-Tick, that feeling was really exciting... Buck-Tick had being around as a band for very long, however such excitement is neccessary. Before the live became a success there were many things happening and we thought it'll never become...

Seems like the feeling of performing before strangers had revived!

Um...We aren't very experience when come to handling the surroundings when we are oversea. To people whom we first meet we'll treat them truthfully, sharing our past experiences... It is really nice encounter... After this I think we'll try to do more live in Asia. In the earlier days Japanese tend to turn towards the West without realising the Asia. However when you simply think it, though the languages are different the looks are the same. It'll be easier to understand each other. I mean, aren't we all have the same eyes' colour, same people from Asia should pocess the same spirit.

People of same eyes colour it is...

Since the distant is near the taste for music would be rather similar I guess.

(O) Yes, however if we go oversea we become foreign celebrities instead.

Umm... but definately there'll be differences.

Actually, Taiwan is the place where has the most FishTank oversea members.

Eh...is that so... I wish to go there too, not just from Japan but I wish to hear from people of other countries. It's incredible that they like us even the language is different.

Indeed, since than it'll be possible to look forward to more Buck-Tick oversea live... Nevertheless, Uta-san also appeared in the first fan club dinner.

I do! I do!

Sakurai-san said your popularity had increased after that...

No such thing! (^_^) Just that incidents happened one after another while we were in Korea, and not all members could make it to the gathering.

We received many fan letters on how happy they were to see Uta-san at the event, by the way what did you contributed as the lucky draw gift for the fans?

The inner wear during concert tour.

How do you feel about the presentation?

There wasn't much chance to meet the fans face to face, so I was really happy to be there.

They lady who took a photo with Uta-san sebd in the photo too.

Eh... really?! It's so embarassing, I feel like going through wedding dinner ^_^
