Byo : It was my approach for once. When forming SCREW I was looking for members, and while searching various bands, I found Jin's homepage. When I saw his photos I just thought: "That's him!" I had decided this for myself. This is how I came about "meeting" Jin on the one hand.
Jin : My former band has just disbanded and all that was left, was my own homepage. And Byo saw it. I was asked by about 50 people, yet since I wanted to change the fields, when Byo contacted me, so I refused him, too. However, he was really passionate about meeting at least once. So we met once.
-- Does this mean, Jin-kun didn't know about Byo-kun's existence then?
Jin : I knew about him. With his former band, Byo had also been in magazines, so when he contacted me, I though "Oh that's him, from that magazine."
Byo : At first I was only contacting him by mail, yet he never wrote back, there was no answer and I thought we might not be able to meet. Accordingly, it took a long time until we were actually able to get together eventually. The time of unrequited interest/love was really long. And when we eventually met, I thought that I am not letting go just here.(laughs)
-- Eventually you could convince him, right?
Byo : The prey I am aiming for is surely something I'll make mine!
-- In private, too?
Byo : Eh?! ..........eh? Well,well.
Jin : Ahahahahaha!!(laughs) The element of surprise. (laughs) But I think his strength of endurance was very high, because I really didn't contact him at all and didn't show the slightest bit of interest. Yet, Byo was the one who confronted me just like that.
-- He was deeply in love. So what was your first impression?
Jin : I thought that he was a lot more scary, yet I was surprised of how much of a mood maker he was. When we first played music together, at that moment, I already thought that I wanted to do this with him. I thought that his charm was lying in his humanity.
Byo : That's not true!! You said : "Please let me think about this a little longer."
Jin : That's what I said with my mouth. (laughs) Even though I had been rejecting anyone until then, if I had said yes just right away, then I might have been thought of as a superficial person. That's why.
Byo : That was it?! (laughs) And then the next time? We went to the studio together and bowed deeply, saying "From here on...!" (laughs) From there on we were very open with each other right away. My first impression of Jin was that he was really a cool guy.
-- Next year it will be five years since the formation of the band as well as five years since you have met?
Byo : Yes, it will be. As it is right now, we are really good friends. That is the mutual feeling. The feeling as if we had known each other even before elementary school seems like a given. Relaxed like that.
-- Are there similarities between you?
Jin : I am usually a shy person in front of others, but Byo is not like that at all. However, when we are together, we are both cool like that.
Byo : It happens a lot that all of a sudden we say the same things. (laughs) We are on the same level of things.
-- However, Jin-kun is often bullied by Byo-kun, isn't he?
Byo : I am the bullying and Jin is the bullied character. (laughs) In the band it is normal like that, too, where I am the offending character and
Jin is the protecting character. If we were married, I'd be the dad and he'd be the mom. Somehow, this example is kinda gay. (laughs)
Jin : Ahahaahaha (laughs) When speaking of similarities, it would probably be the things we laugh about. (laughs) Well, with SCREW the leader is Kazuki, however, I think that on the moral o thing, Byo is the leader-character that supports the other band members. Because I can't do things like that, I really think that's great. On a mental level, Byo really supports me in that way.
Byo : On that level, Jin is also a great support for myself. As our characters are pretty much the opposite, I think that is a great motivation, which I think helps me a lot. When I fail, he is like a cushion for me. That's kinda gay, too. (laughs)
-- It's fine, after all you are friends. (laughs) Are you the same age?
Jin : We are. The school level is the same, too.
-- Well, the music you listen to and the music you like is it similar, too?
Byo : It is. I started out with the Japanese music my parents listened to and in middle school I would get into X Japan, which I had borrowed
from a friend. From there I started liking Visual-kei and such. However, Jin's perspective is a lot wider. I was mainly listening to domestic music, yet Jin also always listened to foreign music.
Jin : I was also listening to foreign metal and such. When I started with the band, I was listening to a lot of punk and hard core, however, when I was little I also listened to a lot of domestic music as well. It happened a lot that we listened to the same music from the same time and there are lots of mutual feelings as such. The two of us also have the same likes for pop music, as well as hard and dark song.
-- What are the two of you usually talking about?
Byo : I am just bullying Jin. (laughs)
-- Even when you are together on your own?
Byo : Yes, because it's fun! (laughs)
Jin : Well, it has become quite normal for me to be made fun of. It doesn't feel a lot like being bullied anymore. (laughs) However, since we have the same taste in clothing and things we like, that is something we also talk about. However, Byo's influence in my clothing style is pretty big. When I met Byo, pretty much the clothes I liked changed a lot.
-- To Byo-kun’s favor?
Jin : No, that's not the case. (laughs) It's terrible that there is always this gay-image attached to it. (laughs)
-- Well, to prove you are not gay, let's talk about your favorite type of girls then. (laughs)
Byo : Ah that's good! (laughs) The types we like are certainly different. I like people, who use the right amount of make-up, are beautiful and have a strong, flashy air. Jin, however, likes the cute girls more. He'd even like those between the age of 8 and 14. (laughs)
Jin : Because our taste is different, right? (laughs) I'd be a dangerous person if I liked girls from the age 8 to 14. Please don't say things that give a weird impression on me. (laughs) However, as compared to Byo, the range of what I like is wider, as it is with music. (laughs) I don't really like the listless, boring girls and rather prefer those with a lighter nature.
Byo : No one really likes listless, boring girls. (laughs) I, rather than showing of, I’d rather let the other one show off.
-- Even though you do look like the type to show off.
Jin : That's the gap in his aura xD
-- The gap in his aura? (laughs) Certainly! (laughs) Ok, let's get back to talking about clothes, shall we? (laughs)
Byo : Earlier, Jin was a lot more casual in his Kumamoto-style.
Jin : After all I am from Kumamoto. (laughs) Well, that's a little like the underground Shibuya-kei style. (laughs) I've been wearing a lot of loose, casual type of clothing.(laughs) However, when I met Byo I thought his style was really cool. I really respect him for this kind of sense greatly.
-- You two really have a good relationship to each other. What are the lyrics Jin-kun would like most, as you know Byo-kun as he normally is?
Jin : I certainly like the lyrics, which are coming directly from the normal Byo. There are these mutual feelings to that. As of late I came to think that the lyrics of "Cursed Hurricane" are extremely real to my own feelings as well. Among those difficult words, there are words that bare the feelings of it. He is certainly a person to put out his feelings and within the lyrics you can also see that, which is the gap in his aura again.(laughs)
Byo : (laughs) I really don't want to write lyrics that sound like a diary. Just like lyrics that are going with the trend. However, when screaming lyrics too difficult, I can't bring things across. I know that much. Therefore I would like to throw out the emotions to where you can feel the deep meaning behind. I hope I can bring that across. Eventually...I'd really just like to show off.
Jin : Well. But I think that is what makes Byo, Byo. I think that bringing something into the dialogue like that is very much like Byo, too.
-- It is. Well, people who would really just like to show off would probably not bring this up in the dialogue like that. This is a very human approach.
Jin : It is. I think that Byo as well as SCREW are not a band that is easy to understand in terms of the real intentions. However, once the real motive is understood, a deep kind of affection can be build. Byo's lyrics are also very mutual with the feelings of most guys, I think. I really like that.
Byo : And eventually we were not able to distance ourselves from that gay image. (laughs) Either way, from here on, I really hope that as band members and as friends, that Jin and I can keep walking through troublesome times as well together.
