Your performances at Sendai and Sapporo for your [Prelude to "GEMINI"] tour were postponed, right?

Shou: It's unfortunate.



With influenza being the reason?

Shou: We will be having a make-up live in the beginning of July, so we will be working hard to show the fans that we made worry a good live.



Saga: I was the only one who was fine.

Shou: It caused laughter amongst the fans. They were like "Even at times like these he can't read the atmosphere" (laughs)



Saga: I won't forgive the fans who laughed (laughs)



What was the tour like up until that point?



Shou: We started the tour not knowing what reactions the audience would have to [GEMINI], which we had released, but when we started the tour, I felt that the fans' interpretation of the album was more profound than it has ever been. They let us know that they had had a good listen to the album, so it was a tour where we had received a lot of feedback.

It’s been a while since I updated.



It’s almost Niku no Hi1 (^-^)v

Everyone, February 9th is the release of GEMINI.



Therefore,

Since I want everyone to get to know our new album GEMINI better,

I guess I’ll do a rare song-by-song commentary. (laugh)

Those who don’t wanna see those spoilers, then just don’t look ヽ(*｀Д´)ノ

For now I’ll begin with the first 4 songs on the album.



“I.”

This is a song that already existed when I was about 18.

It’s probably the first song I ever properly composed in my life.

I would never have thought that I’d play this song from my youth, with Alice Nine, and the current time.

At first, I didn’t even feel like putting it on the album. (laugh)

Since it was Shou’s birthday, the set list consisted entirely of Shou’s favorite songs! By the way, the music playing before the live started was the Final Fantasy soundtrack. During one of the MCs, Saga also told the fans that there would be no pre-made set list for this tour, that they would just go with their and each audience’s feelings and play the songs they want to play, meaning that every concert will be different! While it does sound fun, it’s also a big challenge to...
