AYA
EVERYONE
INT: I heard that a new concept has been determined? What's the topic this time?
SEEK: Japan?
DAISHI: Japan!!
INT: I knew you'd do that someday *laughs*
YURA: This time I'm in charge of being the lead actor. I'm a priest from the Yin-Yang faith because it suits me the most *laughs*
DAISHI: He looks really good, right? *laughs*
YURA: My weapon as a priest is speed but because of my skill and beauty, it's normal that people are afraid of me and dare not approach me. So I live away from society all alone. For this concept I even watched the DVD "On'myoji" ("Onmyoji - The Yin Yang master". You can find some info on it at <http://www.onmyojimovie.com> just copy&paste the link. Onmyoji is probably more known as Shaman, like from the manga Shaman King and X/1999 and all that -D.T.). When I watched it I felt, "I want to be a priest ASAP." They're so cool. I think if I was born earlier, I would want to be the lead actor in this movie...that role could have been mine.
DAISHI: And then my older brother is helped by that priest...
SEEK: This is hard to understand, can you explain about me more?
YURA: What's your status in society in the Edo era in which there are samurai, farmers, craftsmen, and merchants?
DAISHI: Farmer *laughs* I'm a hard working farmer in Kuroiwa and I have an older brother. My older brother goes to see the priest for some help. Okay your turn, brother...
SEEK: I'm the older brother of the two most hard working brothers in the village Kuroiwa *laughs* The tax that the castle that looks over the village has over us is very strict, you can work as hard as you want but you would never be able to live comfortably or happily. When you're hungry you have to eat the food that people offer to the temple. If you do that then you're body would transform into a Tengu (a Japanese folk demon/minor God with a red face and a long nose that inhabit the mountains. There's a whole article on Wiki: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tengu> -D.T.). Now, let's here from the person who lives in the castle and collects the tax *laughs*
AYA: I'm from that castle *laughs* I'm the princess of the Shiromizu Castle. I'm a princess but I collect tax, drink beer, and sing very loudly at night. But I got bored of that lifestyle so I came out of the castle and traveled the big cities in areas where merchants and craftsmen live. And he followed me (LIDA).
LIDA: That's me. I'm a spy...well, a ninja. I was asked to follow the princess out of the palace. I'm not just any ordinary ninja, I'm from the Fuma clan (the most famous ninja clans would probably be Iga and Koga; Iga is where the ninja, Hatori comes from. But Fuma is also pretty known, they're all rival ninja clans -D.T.) . I am the second greatest ninja in the Fuma clan and I must find the princess who is very important to the castle.
DAISHI: Kids in rich households are usually spoiled *laughs*
AYA: A bird in a cage.
INT: Right, and what happens next in the story?
DAISHI: We've only determined the characters so far, we haven't got any details of what happens next in the story. Nothing is certain yet. This summer tour, "Gobou~Fantasy", will probably be a time with no limits, I think. Because AYA-kun wears headphones, canvas shoes, and dirty socks. It just doesn't look like he's from an old time period right? *laughs*
INT: Yes. Hmm...*laughs* Were there any hardships concerning your costumes?
DAISHI: This time we have designer H.NAOTO-san come work with us and it's the first time we didn't design it ourselves. Other than the colors and the concept, we left everything to him. For H.NAOTO-san, his basic color would usually be black, but for Psycho le Cému it's anything but black pretty much. Moreover, the concept "Japan" is very worrisome for H.NAOTO-san, he's worried about the outcome.
INT: How did you feel after the work was finished?
DAISHI: When I looked closely, I thought it was very beautiful. Even the little details, I think it's the medium ground between H.NAOTO-san and Psycho le Cému.
INT: Can you give some tips about your clothes for the cosplay fans?
SEEK: I'm a mask right? *laughs* Because when I wear the mask, I don't know what I am. I really like the nose too.
DAISHI: Your nose has 3 parts?
SEEK: The first nose that was made was really small, there were 2 parts-big and thick. I couldn't see infront of me at all *laughs* These 3 pieces fit perfectly though. There's a thick red string and white string tied to it in the middle.
INT: How about YURA-sama's?
YURA: When I wear this hat I feel like I'm really a priest. It's like the ones that the monks in the Shinto Temples wear because it's genuine. If they sell it in stores, it will defintely sell well. When I wear this hat it's annoying for the person behind me because it's big, I wonder how will the live turn out? *laughs*
INT: I wonder! *laughs* And DAISHI-san?
DAISHI: Mine is very long and big, it looks like a mess. I look like a cheerleader or a motorcycle gangster of some sort *laughs* There're the letters, "Banshuu himeji","Saikoryu cemuka". The scroll painting of LIDA's says, "Saikoryushiki makimono". Everyone has the kanjis but how in the world did YURA-sama get "Binanshi" (handsome man) written on his? *laughs*
INT: How about the princess' dress?
AYA: I have headphones, a scarf with the words "Kenkajouto" written on it.
INT: And a short skirt again *laughs*
AYA: Yeah *laughs* The top part is a kimono while the bottom is a short skirt.
INT: LIDA-san, you're a ninja but you have a head band (covers the whole head though).
LIDA: Yes, but if you really want to imitate the Fuma clan, you cannot, not have it. It's the most important thing, your body doesn't matter.
DAISHI: The Fuma clan always have these very delicate details that you can't tell *laughs*
INT: Are all of you waiting eagerly to see the fans cosplay too?
DAISHI: Of course, there seems to be a lot of AYA cosplays as usual. SEEK's cosplay is hard though because he's a tengu *laughs*
INT: SEEK's cosplay last time had a box on his face right? *laughs*
DAISHI: But this time SEEK changed his hair by making it shorter. It's probably harder for girls though because he has these horns on his head *laughs*
SEEK: Yeah, this was the hairdo that everyone decided on.
DAISHI: All of us had a meeting.
SEEK: When I get out of the shower, my hair dries fast.
INT: DAISHI-san's hair color also changed.
DAISHI: It was AYA-kun's order that "cut and change your color."
AYA: I've told him since last time, "this time dye your hair brown like Hamasaki Ayumi" *laughs*
INT: Is your makeup more natural?
AYA: Not SEEK *laughs*
SEEK: I don't know what everyone thinks, but I think that it's natural this time. But I feel that my costume isn't really harmonius with me *laughs* I feel like I've gone back to before.
DAISHI: Mine is even lighter than when I was in school uniform. It's the most natural makeup I've had until now. I think everyone is wearing their own makeup as according to their own opinions of their characters. SEEK is wearing more heavy makeup, and AYA-kun is wearing more womanly makeup if you compare him to before.
INT: So determining who is what character was easy this time?
DAISHI: Before we would usually talk it out to see who should be what character, but we didn't do that at all this time. It was really easily to determine because fans would have to guess who plays what characters when the show starts right?
INT: Even then, what would happen if like LIDA-san took the role of the female?
DAISHI: We wouldn't mind at all *laughs* Hmm...that sounds fun actually. But each characters haven't been accepted yet, but when that happens we'd like to determine our own characters.
INT: You don't have any weapons or special powers?
LIDA: I have inhuman strength and I can roll like a bowlig ball to take down my opponent.
DAISHI: Roll slowly and make them trip! *laughs*
LIDA: No...not slowly, I take down my opponent with speed.
AYA: As a princess I was trained in many things ever since I was young, I've always known how to fight like a samurai.
SEEK: This big ball in my costume is going to become a weapon right?
AYA: No, it's just fashion *laughs* This was really popular in schools during the Edo period.
DAISHI: A school during the Edo period...you know even if you're a princess?
AYA: Well, I have to go to school too.
SEEK: I thought people come teach you at the palace because you're a princess?
AYA: The teacher sucked, I had to go myself *laughs*
SEEK: Be taught by farmers!?! *laughs*
DAISHI: Even farmers can hunt.
INT: When the older brother becomes a tengu, the little brother doesn't recognize him?
SEEK: I'm a tengu but sometimes both persons come out in one body.
DAISHI: You're way of talking would change when you become a farmer?
SEEK: When the tengu personality comes out, it'd probably be scary...*laughs*
DAISHI: I'm trying to picture it *laughs*
INT: Do you have a new theme song to go with this concept?
DAISHI: I want to do it, like when we had "PRISM" for our last concept. If we can get a song to symbolize this concept before the summer tour starts, it'd be great. Right now YURA-sama, AYA-kun, and LIDA are working on a Japanese-style song but I can't tell you how far they are. But look forward to it. As for LIDA, I'm wondering he is should play the samisen or sing a song *laughs* If everyone sings, what would happen to LIDA? YURA-sama, then AYA-kun...ah!!!?
EVERYONE: Looks at SEEK at the same time
SEEK: *embarassed smile*...
EVERYONE: *laughs their head off*...
DAISHI: But nowadays when I sing, "SEI ~excalibur~ TSURUGI" at the karaoke, I would lower the key by 1 and a half..*laughs*
SEEK: It turns into a whole different song *laughs*
INT: You're always standing in the back playing the guitar, LIDA-san, don't you want to try standing at the front and singing?
LIDA: If I come to the front, won't I laugh? *laughs*
DAISHI: You won't laugh but you'll be laughed at *laughs* Like in the VDO, whenever he comes on screen the band and the staff start laughing *laughs*
LIDA: I get laughed at just walking...
INT: Why? *laughs*
ALL THE MEMBERS (except LIDA): The aura of the pumas *laughs*!!!
LIDA: That's the true essence of the pumas *laughs*
EVERYONE: *laughs their head off*!!!
INT: So tell me about this summer tour decorated by this new concept?
SEEK: This concept is a way of destroying the limits of this summer tour. If you let this opportunity pass, you won't be able to see it again. Please dress up in cosplay and come watch the live. My appearance is a bit bad, people probably wouldn't want to dress like me but really, if you guys get tired of just cosplaying AYA-kun, you can cosplay me sometime *laughs*
AYA: The Indies Last Live would probably be very touching but it would make me cry if there were more of my cosplays than SEEK's cosplay. I think I'll win definitely *laughs*
DAISHI: When it's hot, you can feel cooler if you look at something scary right? Two ghosts came and asked to come watch the live with the feeling of a haunted mansion *laughs* I think of this Indies Last Live as a kind of graduation, so let's make some wonderful and fun memories together!
YURA: A man misses a woman; a woman misses a man; we can shorten that phrase into a single word, that is "love." Now you give her the moon of the night and if she answers, "yes" that moon shall become hers. I give you Psycho le Cému, if you answer "yes", from that minute, we shall become yours.
THE END.
