Kaoru: I already said it before but, “ARCHE”’ has the image of a pure/clean álbum. So at the early stages, there was  a talk about making a violent album this time. But, I am comfortable with my own feelings now so rather than fast tempo songs, I would tend to do relaxed things.  So it’s like…as much as possible do not rely on yourself…it’s a weird way to say it.

-I couldn’t predict at all what kind of album would you deliver but, starting with this shocking and stimulating opening track “Keibutsu to hajimari”, my first impression after listening the cd was that it was a work I wouldn’t had expected. For this reason, I’m curious about “ARCHE”. Now that this album is finished, how do you perceive that album?

Toshiya: I think it was an album that declares a returning point but fair enough, there were parts where we were aware about ourselves. At the time we formed the band, we released “Missa” mini album then “GAUZE” and “MACABRE”… what kind of things were we thinking? What kind of things we were dreaming about? That’s why this part feels good. For example, even at rehearsals, in the past we were 5 people facing each other stuffed in a small box. With that feeling of 5 people facing each other, I think we made “ARCHE”.

-So, it’s not like the previous works were made by five people facing each other?
