Giriboy: Now..uhâŚthis is kinda..First,..(buffering) what was the question again? (Cheerful)
Interview [G: Giriboy; D: Dingo]
G: Hi
D: â5 songs for initiationâ what is the meaning of the title of the album?
G: Actually there isnât much meaning to it, i wanted to release a full album but the company told me to rest a little, so as like a resting time, I decided to release this album. Once the full album comes out, it will be continuing this. So itâs like I canât really tell you exactly what it is
D: The titles for your songs are all only two syllable, did you do that on purpose?
G: I did it on purpose so itâll look cool (cheerful) HEHEHEHE
D: You also included remix songs in your album, is there a special reason for that?
G: Initially before I wanted to release a full album, I was already thinking to release a remix album so as I was in the middle of receiving song remixes, there was a song âMixed Upâ and I really wanted to release itâŚah.. so I gave up on the remix album and decided to release a full album so this song will be the center of other songs, the song 'express highwayâ is really a song I made entirely 2 years ago, and I decided to take the song..uh..then..(lost his way) what was the question again?
D: the reason you included the remix
G: Ah! (Found his way) ah, I wanted to make a remix album, and then somehow the other song (lost his way again)
D: so you wanted to release a remix album but you also really wanted to release the song 'Mixed Upâ so you gave up on the remix album
G: I gave it up
D: And you included 2 remix songs then you released the album!
G: And I still didnât feel satisfied so I added two more remix songs and thats why this album came out, thats what I was saying. (Cheerful)
*Giriboy - iâm in (yunji remix)*
D: Giriboyâs albums: 'adjectiveâ albums and â-ceremonyâ albums you have these two right? (T/n: ~ě ě¸ for adjectives - the fatal, sensual, lonely, mechanical, basic album and ~ě for coming of age ceremony and debut)
G: Theres going to have one more now
D: Ah so you mean the albumâs thats soon coming out is going to be in another category?
G: Yes. No no of course no uh this is a bit difficult but in the game Lol thereâs a unique point. 'Hybrid = ~adj albumâ the albums that people all know and AD line is like the ~ceremony albums - an album that can show only my attacking points. Now one more is left which is AP, thats is like a magician thing in the game so i will be making only the beats, and other rappers or singers can participate(? He said it wrongly haha) but i dont know when i will release that. But I think itâll be nice if you can look forward to that.
D: Do you have any particular location or situation where you get musical inspiration?
G: I donât exactly have that kind of stuff, I actually donât really have much thoughts haha without really thinking much I just sit in the room and think 'what should i make today?â
D: Are you the type that is quick when it comes to producing?
G: Uh.. yes. Really I am I can say that I am quite fast. But it is also because I sometimes have the tendency to just wing it? (Cheerful)
D: What is Giriboyâs top 3 favourite Giriboyâs songs?
G: uhâŚI have a song called 'All Dayâ That song is really good but people donât really know that song. 'ZOAâ? This (choosing his fav songs) is difficult. 'Space FlightâŚâŚ.2â
D: Any reasons on why you chose these three?
G: itâs just that the song 'All Dayâ itâs something that is trendy now but also has the old times feel to it, and I wish this song will become famous. 'ZOAâ and 'Space Flight 2â these songs are the music styles that I have been obsessed with nowadays.
D: Any 2017 plans?
G: Itâs my plan to release a full album, but who knows there can be changes.., if the things I want to do change, since everything is just according to what I want to do..
D: Thereâs a lot of saying going around that you donât speak well. Do you agree with it yourself?
G: Yes. Really I⌠Yes I think so too.
D: You have a song called 'Pushoverâ right?
G: Yes.
D: Is Giriboyâs dating style really like a pushover?
G: I donât really know.. (cheerful)
G: People think that the story in the songs are about myself but itâs not my story hehehe
D: Itâs a story you made up?
G: Yeah, almost everything.. really I didnât think much while writing them so
D: What kind of artist does Giriboy want to become?
G: Ah..what kind of artistâŚI think itâs best to just be a happy person. Even if I fail, Iâll have money saved up and go to a village and make music alone thinking 'yeah Iâm not going to let you guys listen Iâm going to make songs by myselfâ and just listen to them alone, eating chips and just be like that at a village, peacefully.. thatâs like my dream.
D: One sentence each to your fans and your haters.
G: If I perform, thereâs some fans that I always see and Iâm really grateful to them, i canât do this kind of thing (the finger heart thing) I really canât do it so I feel sorry for that.
D: How about your haters?
G: UhâŚI donât really pay attention to them but if I donât have any (haters) then it will be boring right so⌠thanks for existing. HA HA HA (cheerful)
