the GazettE in SHOXX vol 125 (2003.5)

Interview Summary

This interview covers the process of recording the band's first mini album COCKAYNE SOUP and breaks down the track list.

Ruki jokes that they spent so long in the recording booth that when they emerged they grew facial hair.

Kai stayed at Reita's house overnight to work on the rhythm sections. When Reita thought they were done discussing recording and tried to go to bed, Kai would ask if he was still up and keep talking (lol)

COCKAYNE SOUP Track Breakdown

Beautiful 5[shit]ers: Ruki suggests paying attention to his vocals because he used a deeper voice for his screams/shouts. The background shouts in the chorus are from both Aoi and Ruki.

32koukei no Kenjuu (32口径の拳銃): Ruki shares that the guitar parts trade off between the left and right speakers. To guide Uruha with creating the guitar parts, Ruki told him to imagine a tatami room in a Showa-era apartment where someone has committed suicide.

Shiawase na Hibi (幸せな日々): The band previously played this song but when they recorded it they slowed down the tempo. Ruki says recording the vocals took quite a bit of time and was draining.

Let's go with the fantastic GOTHIC & LOLITA BIBLE VOLUME 5. A very sumery magazine as it was published in 29th of July of 2002. Plenty of flower prints, colors and parasols in its catalogue. Absolutely on of the best ones. Introducing with this fresh shoot of the BIG 5 Brands BTSSB, AP, VM, Meta and IW

fashion, a contract, and the ultimate combo
