D'espair Ray are killer. I love Zero !
Heh, gotta read this: (It's a translation from the SHOXX magazine, 2002)

+sex69sex Vol.1 +

Hello. It’s D’espairsRay’s guitarist, Karyu, and bassist, Zero. Since this is the first time we’ve done this we don’t know what we should write, so for the time being we’ll talk about the recording for “genwaku” which was released on April 1st.

Z: First of all, what did you work hard on in recording?
K: I guess it was erotic fantasies.
Z: Erotic fantasies?
K: Yeah, erotic fantasies.
Z: What kind?
K: I can’t say.
Z: Why?
K: They’re too nasty
Z: You were thinking about that kinda stuff when you were playing?
K: Of course. I always do.
Z: Always? You mean at concerts and stuff too?
K: No. Everyday, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without a break.
Z: You’re like a perverted convenience store.
K: Yep. If possible, I’d like to be a Seven-Eleven.
Z: Oh, you’ve already decided? But don’t you think that 6 and 9 is a better combination for you than 7 and 11?
K: (singing) Six-nine, it sounds good.
K, Z: (burst out laughing)
Z: We’ve gradually gotten further and further from talking about the CD recording.
K: It’s okay, isn’t it?
Z:: It’s okay, but, returning to the topic, what was most fun about recording?
K: Well, we’re ending this time here.
Z: What? We’re ending it here?
K: We’re ending it here. From the next time on out I want to reply to everyone’s questions and concerns, so if you have anything like that, please send it to us.
Z: Is it anything goes?
K: Yep. From personal gossip to serious concerns I want to address a broad range of things.
Z: Well, it seems like that’s how it’s going to be, so please send your comments.
K: Thank you all for reading until the end.
Z: Yes, Thank you.
K: To all of you who have not seen us live, please try to come to see us one time.
Z: And feast you eyes on Karyu’s perversion.
K: Please read again next time.
Z, K: Well then, see you next time.

…

Z: So what do we do now?
K: You should know! What else is there to do?
(So saying, Karyu turns off the lights)
+ sex69sex Vol.2 +

K: So is everyone doing it?
Z: Yeah! I’m doing it!
K: Doing what?
Z: …
K: I’m doing it… making songs.
Z: You’re not makin’ babies?
K: No, no. I have become a delusional EGOTIST, though. (note: delusional EGOTIST= mousouhekina EGOTIST). What about you?
Z: I’m as the title says.
K: …
Z: Say something, damn it!
K: (like a mom) I don’t remember bringing you up to be that kind of person.
Tsukasa: Nor do I!
Z: It was a joke!
Hizumi: Everyone, give him some credit.
K: Hey, was there someone here a second ago?
Z: Is this a four person dialogue this time?
K: No, it’s two people!
Z: Well should we talk about something serious?
K: (like a kitsune) SEX!
Z: Hey!
K: (like a kitsune) Re~lax!
Z: Hey!!
K: PA-OON! (like an elephant)
Z: Get your butt back in the forest! (getting angry)
K: Pa-oon… (sadly)
Z: Well, what should we talk about?
K: Gomugomu no-----------------------------------------
(Karyu reaches his hand out to Zero’s thing)
women and wild animals is very cool but the inner-part is deep.
Z: How many centimeters deep?
K: I guess it’s about American size. (note: The hugest size in Japan is American size.)
Z: So it’s wide and deep?
K: Yeah. “A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.” (According to the old woman in ‘Titanic’.)
Z: The next mini-album is that good.
K: Our old song, Ao, is on it too.
Z: Ao!?
K: Yeah, Ao! (Not really smiling.)
Z: That’s right. We asked for questions, but have any come?
K: I looked at them.
Z: What were they about?
K: If you understand the difference between Sokenbicha (note: a brand of tea) and namacha (another type of tea), do you understand the taste difference between beer and happoushu (a type of homemade alcohol similar to beer)?
Z: Please don’t send meaningless questions like this.
K: Please send lots of questions like this.
Z: …
K: PA-OON! (an elephant)
Z: You got a lotta energy today, don’t you?
K: PAPAPA-OOON!! (wild animal)

So, today, they turned off the lights and Karyu became a wild animal of the night and began attacking Zero.
T: I can hear something far away
K, Z: PA-OON!
T, H: Well then let’s go PA-OON, too!

And in this way, D’espairsRay worked hard as a band.

K: Hello. Pa-oon! It’s Karyu.
Z: (laugh) Hello. I’m the bassist, Zero. We’re attacking this pretty suddenly aren’t we?
K: Yeah. Because it’s summer. I feel like I want to go with a bang. Or something like that.
Z: Something like that?
K: Forget about that. More importantly, our first question came.
Z: Really? What is it? What is it?
K: They said, “Please tell us about a dish you like at a certain restaurant.”
Z: Hmm… Do you have recommendation?
K: I do. Option #4 at Freaks restaurant.
Z: “With pleasure…” Hay, no one knows what we’re talking about yet!
K: Oh, they don’t know.
Z: Well they’ll just have to look forward to that in the future.
K: So did you have recommendation?
T: I like the Koga-style tako-yaki (octopus balls) they have in Sankaku Park in Osaka.
K: Hey! Don’t just barge in.
H: I like the Myoutaishi meal in Ippudo.
Z: Everyone’s just barging in lately.
K: Yeah. I’ll just hand it over for now.
Z: Hey! Don’t hand it over.
K: You’re going to die for saying that.
Z: …I’m going off to die.
K: See ya when you get back.
Z: That’s enough of that.
K: Farewell…

*
Z: Okay, lets get back to point and talk about the mini-album, -TERRORS- we are releasing on 7/21.
K: We’ll start off with the first song, Ao.
Z: Yep, it’s Ao.
K: Yep, Ao.
Z: We did this song a long time ago.
K: Well, then the second song is Mebius.
Z: Hey, don’t run off alone. Besides which, there’s no song called Mebius.
K: Yes there is!
Z: Eh? I don’t remember playing it.
K: fufu (laughs)… Nope.
Z: Did you use a substitute?
K: …
Z: Say something!
K: The third song is Sakura.
Z: Pretty soon people are going to start realizing that you’re lying.
K: Okay, well then let’s be serious.
Z: Yeah. The first song is Fascism!
K: This is a really energetic song.
Z: Please go crazy when we play it live.
K: The second song is Carnival.
Z: We played it before (6/29).
K: Yeah, we had a little trouble.
Z: Besides which Karyu didn’t come in right.
K: Seriously, I messted-upped
Z: Messted-upped? (laughs)
K: It’s a Scottish word.
Z: And the third song is eroe.
K: This song is focused on a feeling of tension
*ero : de
09:12Z: The B melody is especially good.
K: There’s a menacing sense of dread. But we used it.
Z: (laugh)
K: The fourth song is Zetsubou romance.
Z: The A melody is nice.
K: It is nice. But I like the elegant simplicity of the end. How will the fans hear it, I wonder?
Z: Yeah. I hear that like a natural person.
K: Take out ooo. (singing)
Z: (laughs)… You’re wrong.
K: And then the last song is murder freaks!
Z: This is a really cool song.
K: It kicks ass! After all, I wrote it.
Z: I’ll leave that to you. Oh, we played this song too (on 6/29).
K: It was the first song. Please tell us what you think about it.
Z: Yeah! I want to ask them about it. I don’t suppose we’ll start selling it early…

~Pa-oooooooon!!!~
