Welcome to Gaia! ::

So what do you guys think?
I think at the end die said lets tour together
burning_eyes

does any have any idea what Die and Kaoru were saying?

{x]

lol, I just used google language tools...
the lazy way, and pretty inaccurate, but it can get the general point across.
I'm not sure if it's a misunderstanding in the translation... but there was mentioning of a rhinocerous in the google trans lol...
then comments about their masks

it works enough to make me smile xd

(_______) = my input

[_______] = implied, not literally said (this happens a lot in Japanese)

>_______< = not a face (lol), but a summary where a literal translation didn't make much sense

C: We met Dir en grey for the first time in 2006 and did a tour together.

J: When I listen to another band, I pay particular attention to the guitar playing. The guitarists of Dir en grey, though, were very original and stood out from what I'm used to hearing [stylistically].

D: When I first met any member of Slipknot, one of the first words I'd hear out of their mouths was '********!' "Why do they use '********' so much?"

C: It's our favorite word.

K: I had a completely opposite impression of them [than Die]. Though I get the idea that a lot of overseas bands live life reflectively of how they act on stage, Slipknot's surprisingly quiet off stage. They give a rather calm impression.

J: Reason being, we use up all of our energy on stage.

D: Is it hard to wear a mask on stage?

K: Though you feel that you've got to wear [the masks], the lives have got to be hard [with them on].

C: It's hot and smells awful. >Stuff about spit getting all in his mask<. But it's not that bad, [you get used to it], and it's not that big of a hassle during the lives.

K: With headlining in America again and releasing material in America... to be honest, [I've noticed that] there's still harassment resulting from the differences in Japanese and American culture. Do you guys have any advice for when we're active over there?

*insert Jim and Corey's spiel about being yourself and working hard, etc. (watch the vid)*

C: >It'd be cool to tour together and see how the two bands' fans react to each other (as well as the other band)<.

D: Of course. By all means, let's set it up for next year.



~~Hope someone finds that cool/interesting/whatever^^;
(lol @ them romanizing Jim's name into 'James'/Jeimuzu)

4laugh Youuur welcome.

Thanks so suck for the translation daidaikiiro smile

I really don't like Slipknot, but it was a good interview. Die and Kaoru were really cool and relaxed; I like seeing them like that.
