A CAPTIVATING INTERVIEW WITH SLIVER

©Sliver


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

Hi! We are sliver! Vocal  Yuki Guitar MZK (Mizuki) Bass KirA Drum Ryoji.

What is the meaning of Sliver? How did you decide on that band name?

The meaning of “sliver” is literally “fragment”or”to tear”. There are two reasons we decided on that band name; First, we had the spiny impression in the word and sound of “sliver”. We thought it fit for the band that performs the violent tunes. We wanna “hurt” those who “touch” sliver by our tunes. Second, we are like fragments. Our backgrounds (favorite musicians, personality etc.) are totally different. Though beautiful thing might not be formed, if we -scattered fragments- got connected, something wonderful might be formed instead, we thought.

Can you explain to us your music concept?

Our music is making an explosive sound, speedy, heavy, and vigorous. And listeners and we together can act violently with it. But we think it important not only vigor but also a melody.

What are some of the feelings you are trying to express through your music?

Let’s act violently with our music together! That’s our feelings.
Can you tell us about the latest songs you have released. What are you trying to express with these songs?

On November 20th ,2015, we released 3 tunes at once. We’ll explain each tune.
Dreamscape
We wanna express the feelings that the hero of the lyrics believes it’s not despair to go to the other world, but it’s rather despair to be in this world and he wants to go to the other world promptly.
Both until he goes and when he goes, he necessarily feels painful more or less. We express his pain by that unforgiving shout.  Yuki
the VOICE
A woman is the heroine of this tune.
This tune says it’s bitter to be disappointed in love.
The death voice part expresses her rage.  Yuki
As the title says, various “voices” are contained. Look for them!
We contained on purpose “voices” totally not fit for the lyrics. That expresses the complexity of the woman’s heart. -  MZK

 Affair
Though they are (originally) only sexual relations with each other, the man loves her. This tune expresses his complex state of mind unable to say he’s in love with her. -Yuki
How did you collaborate with each other to compose your latest release?

Word and music by Yuki

Are you currently working on a music video?
It’s a secret.

How would you describe your style?

We look simple, but in fact profound. We think that good.

Where do you find inspiration when writing music?
MZK: I just decide the approximate genre of tunes. Melody and sounds come to mind spontaneously.  Yuki
I hit upon tunes when riding a motorcycle or walking.

Did you have to make any significant sacrifices to form the band?

We experienced difficulties in training and hitting on various ideas.

What are some important goals you have planned for the upcoming year, 2016?

We have planned several goals. But it’s a secret. 2016 will be the year of silver.

Lastly, do you have a message for your fans?

We’ll make you enjoy. Keep cheering for sliver!

DIVE INTO GLAMSCURE'S WORLD IN THIS INTIMATE INTERVIEW WITH THE BAND

©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...
