Welcome, when did you arrive here in Finland?
- Last night. Helsinki is really beautiful and exiting city! The buildings are different from Japan. Unfortunately, we have to keep going, next morning, becouse we have concert in Sweden.
Why did you set up An cafe first place?
- The band's background does not have any particular ideology. We like many bands, like Plastic tree and Dir en grey, and we wanted to start our own band. We also liked impressive clothing, and energetic moving, and slowly the band's idea began to take shape. Our style is Dancerock, and it felt right after experiments, and following discussions.
Why J-rock is so popular?
- We'd like to know that too (laugh). Maybe Japanese band's are somehow different kind of authenticity, what cheers peoples gray weekdays. The other hand, anime's popularity is undoubtedly influenced by J-rock's success. Japanese culture of the various features have become known also for Western peoples.
Do you know any Finnish band's?
- Yes! For example, Stratovarius is an excellent band. Stratovariou's vocalist Timo Kotipelo is going to present in Tavastia today, after us. Too bad that we can not stay to watch.
If you have some spare time in Europe, what will you do?
- We do traditional tourist stuff: Like watching attractions and shopping. Our closet is probably going to full at this tour. And if our money runs out, we have to go window shopping (laugh).
What is your message to readers?
- We want to disseminate the good wind message and our texts are very positive.Usually, our lyrics start as keyword, and the the story comes. Our favorite words are smile and travel.
Please, tell us some secret of An Cafe!
- Well, Yuuki's hair isn't real, (laugh) but i think that all the fans already knew that!
Your advice for Finnish band's, who thinks An cafe as an ideal?
- Well, you should take model from Yuuki's hair!
