Kai: I was attracted by delinquency, and was a kid who just wanted to do bad stuff.
Ruki: I was no different than I am now. Even when I go back to my homeland people still say "You never change, do you~" (laugh) When I was in high school I wanted to be an engraver so bad I put in my utmost effort. Also I was fascinated by Punks.
Aoi: I was a kid who'd never continue what he started. Rather than saying it was a tiredness syndrome, but whatever I did, I'd get tired of it.
I: You also did surfing before, right?
Aoi: Ah, so I did. I'm not good at it to the level of having it as a hobby, but I've been in competitions and stuff.
Ruki: Ah! I saw an old photo! He was all dark and was doing a twist. When we went to Hawaii he even went out alone to surf.
Aoi: Things that I continue, I continue. Things that I've continued are Kendo, surfing and the band, that's about it.
Reita: I'd decided on being in a band since high school, so somehow I misunderstood something somewhere. It was a manufacturing industry high school, so I was made to take an exam and if I took more exams I would have gotten more qualifications (licenses), but I ended up not taking anything. Somehow... it was like I was betting on my insurance. Now that I think about it, I think, "What's wrong with taking it; there's no loss in doing so". (laugh) Now I don't want to take bets on insurance, besides the band..... thinking about it now I should have tried for more licenses. The only one I had was for handling dangerous goods, and because I had that qualification, when I worked part-time at a gasoline stand my pay was up by 50 yen.
All: (laugh)
Reita: I thought it would also be for the sake of the band and took it, but... I failed. (laugh)
Ruki: That's the worst. (laugh)
Uruha: I was a really normal kid. I get fan letters that often say "No one will understand visual kei at school", and I understand that feeling all too well. It was good that when I was in junior high there was a visual boom, but in high school there was no one else who liked visual kei but me. Those times were super boring. But then punk became the in thing, and I hated those who would so easily speak of punk. So I came to understand that it couldn't be helped if I talked to those I didn't agree with.
