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

Hi everyone, We are the funniest Visual-kei in Japan,Jin-Machine!

What is the meaning behind the name Jin-Machine?

10 years ago,featuring 16's comedian partner said "How about Jin-Machine?" It's very very sounds good,so I decided to name Jin-Machine there and then I didn't mean anything serious in Jin-Machine.

What about your image concept? What image are you going for?

We want to do that Visual-kei do not do it very much, and only we can do it.

You are about to release a single titled GORILLA on September 30th, 2015.  Can you tell us a bit about this single? How did you come up with the single title GORILLA?

Originally, the title was "Golf" not "Gorilla" While I listened to demo,this thought not "Golf" that it was "Gorilla".

What do you want your fans to feel when listening to this new single?

Feel the gentleness and Love ,strength of the Gorilla

You have a lot of choreography in your music videos, how do you come up with the choreography and do you practice a lot?

It became the feeling of the gorilla and thought we didn't practice so much.

Do you have any plans of touring overseas? Perhaps in America?

I can't speak English,and it is scary to go abroad...But I want to go if there is a chance

What message are you trying to express through your lyrics and music?

Though it is cool music, I want to sing a strange things, convey a strange world.

Do you ever see yourself doing anything besides music?

It is different in each member. Some of us play games, and some play baseball, web surfing...

How has Jin-Machine evolved since the formation of the band?

In our show, we play not only the music,but also comedy or the short play .While we might have to do many many things, each personality came out recently.

 Out of all your music videos, which one did you enjoy most recording?

 It is "Gorilla" There were two gorillas in music video, they did a very funny performance.
It is regretted it doesn't fit all into the video. I want a director's cut version!

 Do you have any routines you do before a live performance?

We take in an electrolyte supplement! It tastes so unique!(not tasty...)

Where do you find the inspiration for your lyrics?

In everyday life, I make the lyrics from things which thought that It's so interesting.

Can you name a unique quality for each member?
