Please introduce yourselves to the readers of Summon the Roses
Noku: Nice to meet you! I'm Noku, Guitarist.
Sakuya: I'm Sakuya, vocalist.
Runa: I'm Runa, bassist
What is the meaning behind GLIM GARDO. How did you come up with the band's name?
Noku: Grimgard" is a coined word. We had the idea to write a song based on the Grimm's fairy tales and that's how we decided on it.
How are you preparing for your upcoming performances on March 24th?
Runa: Due to Sakuya's illness, he was unable to perform, so we had two vocalists that we know very well support us. Despite the accident, we were able to perform as well as we could, and at the same time, we felt the greatness of Sakuya.
Do you have any plans of releasing a full album in the near future?
Noku: A full album has been one of our goals since we started the band.
Recently we have been working on the music and we hope to release it in the near future.
We are aware that Vocalist Sakuya was hospitalized and he has been discharged and recovering safely at home. We wish him a happy and fast recovery. How has this situation impacted the band?
Noku: Thank you very much. Sakuya is currently recovering at home, so the band will stop playing live for a while, but we have more time to spend with the members. Now, we are ready to start thinking about what we can do for the future.
Performing under Covid restrictions, has it been challenging for the band?
It's true that the shape of the live performance has changed, with the use of acrylic panels and the maintenance of a social distance, but we don't feel that it has affected us too much, because we are still delivering music to the audience.
What are some bands you would like to tour with if you had the opportunity?
Runa: We want to play with bands from other genres, not just visual-kei, to reach out to new needs.
Can we expect a full album before the year ends?
Noku: It's difficult to announce a full album, but we hope to release some new songs.
What are some projects you are currently working on?
Sakuya: We are constantly working on songs for our next release.
What are some of your goals as a band for the future?
We want to make GLIMGARDO more known not only in Japan but also abroad. We would like to make a music video and send it out.
Lastly, do you have a message for your fans?
Noku: Thank you for reading to the end. We know that a lot of people don't know about us yet.
If you're interested in our music, we'd love it if you'd check us out on YouTube and other streaming services.
Sakuya: Thank you for all your support. We will continue to release songs, music videos and LIVE activities and we hope you will watch us evolve.
Runa: Whether you like visual-kei or not, we hope you'll give our songs a listen. And if you like us at all, please support us. That's what keeps us going. Thank you very much.
