Please introduce yourself to the readers of Summon the Roses

I'm Ano. Nice to meet you.

You will be releasing your first album “Neko Neko Getsu” this upcoming December. Are you excited about the release of your album? What can we expect from this release?

It's my first physical release as a CD and I'm really looking forward to it.

How was it like having your song “Chu, Tayousei” featured as Chainsaw Man's ending theme?

Chainsaw Man was a big hit and a lot of people watched it. I was very honored to be involved as a project in the ending theme.

What are the differences when you're performing as an artist compared to when you're modeling? We would like to know the best of both worlds, is there a big change when you switch from one to the other?

As an artist, I'm using words and sounds to express my emotions, whereas, as a model I concentrate more on the physical side of things. For example, how does the clothing I'm wearing fits or how does what I'm wearing express itself. It's not so much an internal emotion it's more of an external expression. 

How would you describe your fashion and visual concept?

It's almost a changeling where I don't stick to just one genre, I wear a lot of different things. I don't stick to one thing, and I can change and express different things depending on what I'm wearing. 

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

Through lyrics and sound, what I wanted to do was try to let you forget about your anxiety and use my music as a weapon to go against the next tomorrow, so it can be a better day. 

Are you enjoying your time in North America so far?

I'm having a lot of fun

What are some hobbies you enjoy doing when you're not working on your music?

I play a lot of video games.

Lastly, do you have a message for your fans?

This is my first time in Atlanta, Georgia and I don't speak English at all, but I'm also not very good at communication or speaking in general, but with my music I feel like it crosses borders and nationalities do not matter. I'm using this opportunity for more fans to learn about my music and me.

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...
