As time goes by...

日記ですw

last part

again sorry for taking so long

LA shows today!!! wooo!!! ok...ill start


-(lol theres a kanji I can't read...so ill skip the question and go straight to the answer)

Kyo: People mature the more they think. I wanted to make "GLASS SKIN" so it doesn't sound like a lecture but leaves you with something to think about. I wanted them to think "Oh, maybe it should stay this way". I sing for myself but I want to write lyrics that make people think. The only song that actually has a message is "Ware, Yami to te....". It's a love song but it may sound like it's towards a particular person but it's actually written towards the audience or listeners.

-You've actually written down lyrics with that kind of feeling....

K: Before it was all about something born from neglect ion or comfortableness. There's still some of that now but neglection isn't the only thing in this world. It's like when you give a new factor to something it becomes a new thing. I think it has a new perspective and it's really interesting. I have many different feelings as well.

-You've changed up your titling style as well. It makes me think about so many things from just the title.

K: Each song from this album has it's own perspective and it seems really narrow but it's actually a very wide view and it seemed deformed all together. I didn't want to push my titling style to these songs that have their own free form. I thought they should have freedom. I think that when you grow up you automatically know what sounds or look cool or ugly. I wanted to get rid of that and write lyrics that goes with the song. I wanted to do something new and something I can only do. That's when these titles came up(he uses Japanese that you noramlly wouldn't speak in a everyday conversation in these titles).

-So the album title came to be because all the songs connect somehow?

K: Kaoru brought that word in and I really like how it sounded. Then I heard what it meant and I knew we had to make that the title. It suits this album which has a really strong perspective. "UROBOROS" isn't a sphere but I has a really deformed image. And it always seems like it's moving.
