We’re always trying to do something new you know, that’s what we’ve always been doing. Was there anything different you were trying to achieve with this new album as opposed to previous albums? Hiroyuki: Yeah, I would say the difference of atmosphere is what mattered to us, not the equipment. You know, those kinds of things are really different, but it was fun and yeah-full of freedom. The engineer guys and the producer were really cool, and a funny thing was that the assistant brought his dog to the studio. And just by living in Brooklyn, that was totally different from living in Japan. So in total, I think we stayed for 6 months in Brooklyn. We weren’t only just recording songs but we were also making and composing songs. Do you feel like there’s a different experience in recording overseas as opposed to in Japan? You said your upcoming album was recorded in Brooklyn, New York. But it doesn’t really matter, because the most important thing is to play the show.

We’re gonna have a day off tomorrow, but I think we have to do something else, so maybe we don’t have a day off. And before yesterday we went to go see the White House and the Capitol. We’re not the best band in Japan right now, like we haven’t done a stadium show, so I think what we’re doing here is the same as what we’re doing in Japan. Of course, in America, not so many people know about us. Things aren’t too different when traveling abroad. Yoohei: I don’t really think there’s anything in particular. Is there anything you look most forward to when you travel abroad?
