DIVE INTO MALEROSE, THAILAND'S VISUAL KEI BAND

©Malerose

Summon the Roses had the honor of interviewing visual kei band from Thailand, Malerose.

Can you introduce yourselves to the readers of Summon the Roses?

Hello! We are Malerose. Visual Kei band from Thailand.^^

You will be performing at the World Visual Festival in this month of October. How does it feel to perform at this festival?

We were excited and very glad. Because it was our dream and it was the first time for us to perform in Japan which is the original country for Visual Kei that we like.

There will be many visual bands performing from different parts of the world, how does it feel to represent Thailand as a visual band?

We feel like we were very small because Thailand is not the country that famous about Visual Kei but we are so proud that we are Thailand's representative of Visual Kei band.

How have you been preparing for this Visual Festival?

We have tried very hard since we knew that we have to go to this event. We started to write a new song which show an identity of Thai traditional music mixed with Visual rock style. Then we have designed costumes which also mixed with Thai traditional fabric for this event only.We have practiced a lot and we think that the money that we have paid for the rehearsal studio can buy another return ticket Bangkok- Tokyo.

Do you have any surprises for your fans?

We think that to play music mixed with sound of Thai traditional instruments is the best way to surprise Japanese fans because they might never heard them before and also our costumes must be very surprise for them.

What message are you trying to project with your music to your fans?

Every song that we have chosen to play in this event has it own clear definition, especially the music we composed  and mixed with traditional music. Another one is “Road Runner” which is about chasing a dream and we want to convey that  Thai people also have an ability that if we have tried hard we can reach our goal.

What are some of your greatest accomplishments as a visual kei band?

For us, the greatest accomplishments as a visual kei band is we are the first Visual Kei band in Thailand that get widely recognized in Thailand and also from another country. It was a great success for us because it was very difficult to do like this in our country.

Who is someone that inspires you in your music career?

Each members has different inspirations but mainly we have been inspired by The Gazette and X-Japan.

 How do you feel you have evolved since the formation of the band?

We think that we have improved a lot. The obvious fact is that the music, we are more delicate also about the costume that have more details.

Do you have any special plans for the ending of 2015?

Now we have planned to released 2 songs which is an original sountrackof the movie that Eak (vocal) and Thames (bassist) were the main actor in the movie. We are going to released them around December 12, 2015, it is the date that movie is going to be in the theater.

What about a tour? Do you have a world tour planned?

We are going to have a mini concert in Japan Festa in Bangkok, it is the biggest event about Japan in Thailand on January 23,2015. We also have planned to have a concert tour also but not designed about the place yet.

Lastly, do you have a message for your fans?

Lastly, please support us “Malerose”. We intend to create a new phenomenon to Visual Kei throughout the world, we will never stop improving ourselves and create new music for you.^^

©Glamscure Can you introduce yourselves to the readers of Summon the Roses? Chaos: Hi this is Chaos, proud member of Glamscure. Harui: Harui. I play guitar, write songs and propose various ideas too (laughs). Inori: I am Inori, the resident of darkness. How would you describe Glamscure’s world? Does each member represent something in particular? Harui: Dramatic and romantic. Chaos: Glamscure’s world is usually moody and dark but also brings back the good catchy melodies of the past. We try to do what we like and put some of our personal taste into it as well. I don’t think each member is representing something individually, but I should say that each individual member’s experience and taste is reflected into our music and visuals. Each of us is playing an important role in that sense. Inori: Everybody’s heart is affected by different kinds of darkness. We would like to explore about the shadows that are born from the light. What is the meaning behi...
