AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MORPHINE

 ©Morphine

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

I’m Rema, I’m Shizuki, I’m Lin, I’m Hisaki!

Hi, we are Morphine.

How did you come up with your band name Morphine? What is the meaning behind the name?

Each human has some negative aspects. Disagreeable, filthy and all of them can be pain. We want to be relied on as if people who has physical pain relies on morphine and as if they're addicted to it.

Can you tell us about your image concept? Are you going for a dark or mysterious look?

The design of our costumes and photography comes from the image of black color like darkness.

What do you want express through your music and lyrics?

We describe and uncover "reality" that the public wants to conceal with straight lyrics. But what we write can be felt with your own way as well.

Are you currently composing new music to release? Is there a mini-album you are working on releasing soon?

We compose songs always as many as we can! The mini-album which will be released on next November has 5 songs. We hope that all fans who listen to the album can feel something in every songs.

You released a free single titled 乙切り荘  on June 12th. Can you tell us about the composition of this single?

The highlight is harmony of the sounds. Though it's simple and heavy, beautiful and catchy melodies coexist. The lyrics describe weakness, madness and wrong love, that the part of human, but we compared that emotions as stalker figure.

What do you want your fans to feel when listening to your music?

The way people feel and perceive music is different, so I want our fans to feel the sounds and empathize the lyrics as they feel.

You have been around the music industry for a while now. What will be the direction you will be taking with this new band you formed?

We become stronger band to overcome the targets in front of us step by step. Without any stop, limitation as the definition of visual-Kei, we want to grow much bigger to be accepted by anyone with our own music.

Are you touring soon? Will you travel overseas to perform?
What are some of your favorite hobbies when you're not working on music?

We're planning a tour within the next years. Unfortunately, the tour doesn't include overseas  shows, but we wish we can go overseas soon.

What are some of your favorite hobbies when you're not working on music?

れま:アニメを見る

To watch anime.

Lastly, do you have a message for your dedicated fans?

I'm looking forward to meet fans from overseas. Please wait for us someday we will meet.

©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.
