Part two of the Otaku interview.
Translation:
Q: What happens to Dir en grey after ten years from now?
Toshiya: We'll become old men.
Q: Where did you get the idea for your new video?
Die: The process has been the same during every video. We have had the same director for years with whom we do close cooperation. We sit down together and change ideas, like we did with the single of "Dozing Green". As you may have noticed we used a lot of big* and it had a pinch of art in a modern music video**.
Q: Are you scared of over-enthusiastic fans?
Toshiya: We are really grateful of our every fan, sometimes if the fans go a bit far it can be scary. But otherwise we are really grateful.
Q: Is your style a big part of the band's image?
Die: If you compare our dressing in the past and now, our band used different kinds of clothes. Our image and style is very important for the band, it's a part of it. All of us have our own style and we dress the way we want. Our style may have changed but concept that on concerts we wear the clothes which we want, hasn't changed.
Q: What do you think about Finland?
Toshiya: Of course the first thing that comes to mind is that it's cold but when we came here for the first time in summer it was warm, everything was really nice and the landscape was green. Now it's winter and it's cold.
Q: Do you want to send greetings to your Finnish fans?
Die: Our band was here in last summer and now we came back in winter. We have enjoyed our stay and are expecting eagerly our two gigs. Of course we are planning on coming back so please come to our gigs.
